Tomica Porsche






A closer look at the Porsche




In a May 2006 survey, Porsche was awarded the title of the most prestigious automobile brand by Luxury Institute, New York; it questioned more than 500 households with a gross annual income of at least US $200,000 and a net worth of at least US $720,000.

The current Porsche lineup includes sports cars from the Boxster roadster to their most famous product, the 911. The Cayman is a hard top car similar to the Boxster in a slightly higher price range. The Cayenne is Porsche's mid-size luxury SUV. The Carrera GT supercar was phased out in May 2006. Future plans include a high performance luxury saloon/sedan, the Panamera.





Tomica Mazda RX7 Rocket Ship





Series 8 (January 1999– August 2002) was the final series, and was only available in the Japanese market. More efficient turbochargers were installed, while improved intercooling and radiator cooling was made possible by a revised frontal area. The seats, steering wheel, and front and rear lights were all changed.



The rear spoiler was modified and gained adjustability. The top-of-the-line "Type RS" came equipped with a Bilstein suspension and 17" wheels as standard equipment, and reduced weight to 1280 kg (2822 lb). Power was 280 PS (206 kW/276 hp), with 313.8 N·m (231 lb·ft) of torque as per the maximum Japanese limit.



The Type RZ version included all the features of the Type RS, but at a lighter weight (at 1270 kg). It also featured custom gun-metal colored BBS wheels and a custom red racing themed interior. Further upgrades included a new 16-bit ECU and ABS system upgrades.





Tomica S2000

The track-tuned S2000 CR "Club Racer" and the original S2000 represent over 40 years of Honda racing experience.

The Nissan FairladyZ Racing Type Tokyo Drift








350Z a Star is Reborn"YOU CAN LIKEN IT TO SOMEONE RIPPING THE HEART OUT OF YOUR BODY,"


Confined a Nissan official when his company announced in 1996 that it would discontinue marketing the 300ZX in the U.S. "And without a heart, the body cannot survive." [more]"The car shoots off the line like a dart from a blowgun... Shift the 6-speed manual gearbox to 2nd, stay on the throttle and you're treated to another wonderful forward surge as the g-forces build impressively."ROAD & TRACK






The Lamborghini, the 'Murciélago' Tomy Style



This is Tomica Toy Car No. 87 Brand New Lamborghini Tomy.







The Lamborghini, the 'Murciélago' name was taken from bullfighting, during a fight in 1879, this
Murciélago, how to pronounce :The name of the latest Lamborghini model could be rather confusing to pronounce correctly, a small help can be found here, since the name is a Spanish word, you should roll your tongue and say it like 'more thea lago', with the accent on the 'thea' section, or something like 'murthialago', both pronunciations will be close to the original name.

Legendary bull was still standing after 24 stabs from the 'espada', the matador's sword. Pressured by the audience, this fierce bull was kept alive, later it was acquired by Don Antonio Miura, yes, the guy that breeded the famous Miura bulls that named the very first mid-engine road car, the magnificent Lamborghini Miura

Closer look at the cars in Demand - EVO VII and X

These cars are always in demand especially with the speed maniacs. Hey if you are a family man that requires a sporty ride and yet provide enough room for your family, Evo is the way to go.

In the Tomica world, these are also popular models. I have asked around the large chain stores and Tomica Speciality Stores and feedback was the EVOs are fast running out! Collect yours now...






Hmmm if I get a MPV for the family which my wife always wanted then maybe I can persuade her that I need an EVO...
