Yeah F1, I was rooting for Felipe Massa after he got into last place following the pit stop mis-launch. However, it was not to be a hero to zero to hero again story smile.gif alas.. but still hope he scores some solid points for the remaining races. Anyway back to topic, can anyone who have done more travelling to both countries sense which is a better place to source for Tomicas?

Okay, would it still be better to buy regular stock cheaper and then source for the rare ones outside M'sia - best of both worlds? Depend very much on what we are collecting isn't it? hmm.gif is it me, or there is not many Tomica fans over in M'sia too? Actually, the Singapore stock situation is quite pathetic. Most of my collection are from overseas.. = $$ icon_question.gif

Put it this way,

Malaysia - Price lower, but less choices

Singapore - More Choices, no quantity, but expensive

Hey. Big or small, we are all collectors alike nod.gif In time, your collection will grow and that's one of the best thing about collecting small diecasts, we have the space and capacity for growth. Well we all started with one piece ya know.. brows.gif

You brought up a point that I had given some thought before. Some folks would buy up in a singular telling sweep, for example all the Tomica Limited Editions 0001 to 0100 from one Ebay/Yahoo auction, as they have an extremely generous budget. However does that make him/her a great collector? A great collection maybe and the envy of others perhaps but where has it gone - the fun, the satisfying experience to hunt rares or value-for-money buys and the act of imploring friends and family when they go overseas, and then of course there is the showcasing of your Tomicas with passion and a photo gallery of your collection for memories etc.

In short, I tend to define a collector not by what he has collected but how he collects them.

very true words, after collecting for a while sometimes you stop to wonder.. wont the person with the most money always win in the end? i, as a student, have a very limited budget as i do not earn my own income. well, your words have kept me motivated Mr Percivale sir, and although my budget is not that big.. it is the passion for collecting these models that will keep me going! thumbup.gif

I agree that the quality of not just the TL Civic Type-R is poor and far from TL-class, and even some of the regular models are made poorly too cry.gif hope they will improve soon.. I realise this is seasonal.. sometimes good and sometimes bad.. strange! shocking.gif

Special Model Series. In fact Tomica has so many colour variants, re-issues, box set versions and running series that it would be quite an incredible feat to capture them all cool2.gif

OMG! SEXY CAR ALERT! I so want that car! drool.gif
What's the series for that black RX-7?
Haha biggrin.gif so bad.. wait Aunty don't sell you the Tomicas.. maybe it was due to a rush to meet delivery schedule instead?

Where to get your IT fix in KL

QUOTE
SINGAPORE has Sim Lim Square, Thailand has Parntip Plaza.

In Malaysia, Plaza Low Yat is the indisputable top shopping mall for cyber-geeks, gamers and IT aficionados.

Located in the middle of Kuala Lumpur's Golden Triangle and surrounded by malls like Sg Wang Plaza, Bukit Bintang Plaza, Lot 10, and Times Square, the place has, over the years, become a "must-visit" for those looking for IT and lifestyle products.

According to Plaza Low Yat's area manager, property and building management services Francis Anthony, the main factor that has been pulling the crowd is its one-roof concept.

"Almost everything that's available in the market in terms of gadgetry, latest IT products, mobile phones and cameras are available. With the number of outlets here, prices at Low Yat are definitely the most competitive in the market," he says.

Currently, Plaza Low Yat has in excess of 400 outlets and kiosks, providing IT-related devices. There are also service centres and after-sales/back-end centres to ensure customer satisfaction.

"We always urge our retailers to provide good customer services. We also constantly review our retail mix to ensure that we stay ahead of the competition," Francis says.

Plaza Low Yat has an added advantage of having other group-related developments in its vicinity such as the Federal Hotel, Capitol Hotel and BB Park, and the soon-to-be revamped Federal Bowl Centre, all of which create a "city within a city" experience.

"It's part of a bigger vision that will be revealed in due course," he adds.

Plaza Low Yat's recognition as a centre for IT products did not happen overnight. "It took us a few years to evolve into Malaysia's best known and largest IT lifestyle mall. It was a carefully thought-out strategy by our board of directors and chairman Tan Sri Low Yow Chuan," Francis says.

To ensure continuous attraction at the mall, promotions and bargains are an active part of the retail lifestyle at Plaza Low Yat.

"We and our retailers/resellers enjoy tremendous support from Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Toshiba, Samsung, Dell, Sony and LG in terms of back-end support and advertising. This is something which sets us apart from others," Francis says.

"To remain competitive is an ongoing challenge which keeps us busy. The retailers need our support and the principal's support and we, in turn, need to support them. It's about keeping a healthy, balanced business relationship and partnership between all parties," he says, adding that the management has to ensure that the latest products are always available at competitive prices apart from providing a safe and comfortable environment for shoppers.

Yep, but these series tend to have a finite number, more like 6 car set, 12 car set etc. It's like Tomica striking a deal to produce cars for various corporations/organisations as a one-off collaboration. You don't have to collect everything under the sun dude.. maybe just the Regular Box plus a category like "Sports Car" for example flex.gif

Hi JtuneD. Hmm unsure.gif I was thinking that the Nissan GT-R was not well moulded as it had to take into account child safety in it's design, as a result the headlamps and the body lines are not so close to the real one.

Hi Ryuji. A Honda Civic fan huh? hee rclxms.gif well I guess you just have to wait for the new shipment.

QUOTE(Ryuji @ Oct 1 2008, 01:21 PM)
do u guy know where can i get the limited CTR nw in KL area? izit out in market here? or already been sold out?
i very like this car but can't get it anyone mind tellme where can i get it? plan go search for it dis few days


Overall I think TomyTakara are short-changing collectors on the Tomica Limited (TL) because the recent sports cars are produced in the exact same colour as the Regular Series, i.e. lthe Evo X, Civic Type-R and possibly the WRX - [surely the least they can do is use a different colour??] The TL no longer includes the metal nameplate too.. a cost-cutting measure perhaps? unsure.gif

As far as I know, that is the Shareholders Set. Given out to shareholders each year. There are also times when two different sets are given, to big shareholders and small shareholders. The one you bought is for 2007.
