Wow, cool and it's huge and I notice you have more than one of them (the small ones also)

This is the D1 Grand Prix Professional Drift Series (Set of 6) released in 2005.

You can tell the Mazda RX-7 is a hot favourite for drifting competitions as three out of the six cars here are all Mazda RX-7s (both FC3S & FD3S)..



D1-Mazda RX-7 Apexi


D1-Mazda RX-7 Greddy


D1-Mazda RX-7 HPI

Kmunz: Nice Showroom & Trailer Set ^^ and I liked this picture (very nice feel about it).



Anymore parking space for one more Honda

SM-10 Honda City Turbo II


I think most of us know that one of the nicest feature of Tomica Regular Box is that usually it includes some form of moving/opening part like: the doors (opening, casement, sliding, collapsible), bonnet & boot, extensible ladders, leg stands, opening/sliding compartments, satellite dish and so on etc. You can find the special function written on the bottom right of the box (see blue dot in Harrier example)


Translated: here it probably means a rear opening boot (6 golf sets anyone?)

The one below gets pop-up headlamps the lever is at the red dot.
SM-16 Lotus Espirit

Going on to introduce the Lotto Series. By Lotto, it comes from the word Lottery which gives meaning of lucky draw or chance of randomness. From my understanding, collectors would then "tikam" / pick from a case of blind boxes - so essentially you need to "poke" the flap and retrieve a blind box. Some collectors would obviously buy up the entire set instead (Illustrations below)




For those mega collectors.. here is the Full Monty for reference:


For myself, as there are so many to back-collect, I had decided to start from Lotto VI onwards which is the popular Auto Salon Set. For Lotto I to V - I only collected what I like and will share them here.

LT-Isuzu Journey Bus

Yep these biggies are really really nice, don't you just love em'?

Here's the red one.. emblazoned with the word "Sports" and the Number "7" it is however in the old red TOMY logo so the two are probably released at different times.. wonder if there are any physical differences?

Well, there is another series to consider collecting if you are into Astrology/Horoscope.

Added on October 13, 2008, 5:27 pmDoes this look familiar? That is to mean Tomica Limiteds are released on the 4th Saturday of each month


Anyway, here's a Nissan oldie.

0047-Nissan R382


Tomica Limited comes with small catalogue inserts like these:

Looks like Scalpers abound everywhere.. even across the seven seas.. haha

Yep, the red one is better to me also

0048-Mini Cooper (Red)

LT-Hino Semi Trailer Shinkansen

Someone in this Tomica Forum could take lead for group orders using combined shipping.. that's one way out. I do that myself with fellow collectors too. 'Caveat Emptor' in case of any con-man though.. haha

Here's another Red Logo.

31-Nissan Primera


A very ordinary looking car and no saving grace on its quality this time. However there are still two notes of interest
I) a completely blood red base plate and
II) back in the good old days like this one - the car specifications are listed at the side of the box. hmm.. this one is a 2.0 DOHC engine with 150PS @ 6400rpm / peak torque of 19.0kgm @ 4800rpm (neat huh!)
