Vintage Tomica Tomy Die-cast car

Taking advantage of the slightly long holiday, I decided to dig up my store to see my die-cast cars which I used to play years ago (and extinguish the nagging feeling of "where the heck is everything?").

What I found brought back some nostalgia to me, but I was surprised that even back in the 1984-1990, I had a few Tomicas in my collection!

But unfortunately they were bought back then, I used to PLAY with them instead of collecting them. Play = treat them like toys. Collecting = treat them like collectables, keeping the paint mint, the box intact etc.

Anyway, these toys have come a long way since then and somehow it is still playable, although they are paint is worn off and some parts are missing :)

There are 5 tomicas I have here:-

• Toyota Celica XX 2800GT
• Nissan Caravan Ambulance
• Nissan Diesel Truck Crane
• Big Rig Racer
• Moon Craft Special

So will these toys live up till the day my cucu-cicik be able to play/collect it? Well judging from how intact it is (except the paintwork), I believe it could tahan until then.

The best part was that I DID NOT EVEN KNOW I HAD VINTAGE TOMICAS UNTIL TODAY!! Hey as a kid I only know Matchbox and Hot Wheels, but never in my mind it occur to me it there were Tomicas!!!
