Tomica Limited Vintage (TLV) keep making headlines for 2018 with their awesome releases especially on the Blue Collar Trucks.

In August TLV is coming out with the mind blowing Hino HHH341 Heavy Equipment Transport Trailer! This is the mother of all trailer for the TLV truck series!

Yes we all love the Datsun / Nissan wagons but let’s not forget about Toyota. Tomica Limited Vintage (TLV) has faithfully produced these beautiful crown wagons in 1/64 glory true to its 1/1 counterpart. I’m looking forward to the Osaka Prefectural Crown Van Police which has just released as well. For now let’s do a short review for the ’73 Crown Van which were released on Jan. As usual they came in a pair with nostalgic lime green similar color to my fridge in the early 80s and light gunmetal gray color in my term. As usual the TLV packaging b…

I still remember how delighted I am when I pick up the last piece of HW Showroom 2013 beige Toyota Pickup on peg when I started my collecting game. I am born in late 70s and fancy anything 80s. Shortly after I see another black variant stapled card in my local grocery store in Singapore. Just some background on these stapled cards which are mainly imported from China. Our local shop keeper will usually staple around 36 pieces on a board hanging on their store front for kids to pluck. Been a “carded” collector back then I dismissed it and that …
