My son LOVES the Hot Wheels, but you've opened his world to the Tomica stuff. Awesome models! Great content as always! We really appreciated the salute to Ryu after he passed. Nice job!
I have such a great appreciation for TLV! They are unparalleled! I only have two in my collection. I typically get TLV for cars that I hold in very high regard. I have the Ferrari Daytona GT and the Honda NSX. I also have a non TLV Tomica Super Silhouette that my son brought from Japan for my collection.
i'm a 58 y/o Hot Wheels fanboy but having other models like Tomika vintage , Mini GT, Pop Race, Time models, since the Hot Wheels cases are more difficult to obtain cuz of pandemic i got some of all other brand to know them and talk about them.
The annoying thing about Tomica Limited Vintage for me is that Tomy has the distribution network in Canada to be able to get the regular Tomica cars into Walmart but they don't seem interested in getting TLV into bricks-and-mortar retail here. (I know some diecast specialty shops in Canada have TLV but I think they have to import it themselves.)
Keio Dentetsu Bus is a bus transport company based in and mainly serving Tokyo. They're not the main public transit company that provides service to Tokyo (that would be Toei Bus, run by the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation) but Keio runs a lot of expressway routes and some local routes.
(I guess) almost all TLV and TLVN are only for domestic markets, but sometimes they did few Hongkong Exclusive stuffs too. Damn, why just in JP and HK only…
TLV is the best, but usually too expensive for US buyers. Some local distribution would help. I have some, but the 787b is just out of reach. Please, if you have any connections at TLV, please ask them to do a Ferrari 288 GTO!
For the calsonic skyline, I got it at: www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Limited-Vintage-LV-N234A-Calsonic-Finished/dp/B08SDF6MRD It is amazon japan, but they ship to the USA. At the time of the video, it is around $60 out the door. When I got it from the same link, it was $55 out the door. The prices on amazon japan always changes, so there’s a chance it will lower but it can also increase.
@@dankmemer2774 any TLVN (or anythings having Tomica brand) which “sold and deliveried by Amazon” will always THE BEST PRICE FOR You ! Get it beford Amazon or AmiAmi sold thems out there my man
@@kagurazakabg04 yeah I know. I only recently discovered amazon japan. Before, I bought my stuff from japan booster, and I notice that amazon japan is significantly cheaper. I also collect action figures from Bandai and I also notice that amazon japan have stuff for cheaper than US based online stores.
I still dont quite understand why HW cars are so popular relative to other brands. Is HW great? Yes. But not as great as the market share and enthusiasm suggests.
Because the logo is cool that’s my theory and they are more collectible value wise compared to every other company. But they don’t make them like they use to unless you buy the premium cars in my opinion and I have been collecting and messing with 1:64 scale for more than 40 years
I thought it was because they are the easiest toy cars to get. In the US they are seen more then most other brands in normal stores like Wal Mart or Target.
They have a strong following and Matchbox was originally from England made by the Lesney Corp. Hot wheels were originally made in America then Hong Kong.
The problem with Hot wheels at this moment and maybe forever is that in order to keep them $1 they have gotten cheap on they way they build! Less detail and that is where I come in! I make them cooler than they do!
I have some old Tomica cars from the 80’s I just started seeing them in stores again I thought they fell of the face of the earth!
They re-established themselves into the north american market, last time they didnt do so well. Hopefully they stay this time.
TLV knocks them out of the park your definitely right about them being on a other level.👍

well done lol, your money will go down the drain
It's amazing how they can get so much details and craftmanship in such tiny cars.
I appreciate the videos with Tomica LVN. These videos are really great to watch. Thanks!

I came here to just say: you have a great boy
That bus is the winner 🔥🔥🔥👍🏻🤘🏻
Mazda 787B from Tomica limited vintage is my next wish list🔥❤️ thanks for sharing sir🙌🏻
Really the Japanese did it best.
Lots of head work and dedication to bring such a craftsmanship 🤟

Those cars are FANTASTIC. .
That Tomica Vintage Hoshino Impul (Calsonic) R32 is awesome and rare car.

I tried to limit my purchase on these TLV but they are very tempting.
Yeay, finally tomica 👍👍👍👍👍

PS…. Does TLV adjust the suspension stiffness to match the actual cars? ;)
@@Diecastclassicist No, its a precut sheet of metal that bends, same thickness for all cars if im not mistaken.
What’s the hauler/tow truck at the end?
Thanks
Can't find them where I live.... Kingman AZ ain't got much...
Love the 787B
I prefer plain TLVs to all 1:64s
Your funny loved that comment @ 19:56
Whats the best site to get the cars on?

The rims are a fraction too big on tue calsonic r32. Apart from that its amazing.

Hotwheel basic line and premium are great, but those RLC are stupidly overprice especially you are outside of US
