Attention fellow toy car collectors

i have the tomica in my avatar and a ChoroQ 370Z remote control.

dropped1 · 03-10-2010, 07:47 AM

I finally went out and picked up some models at Yodobashi in Yokohama...Got the Transformer Z, Tomica #55 1/57 scale, and the Playcast 1/32 scale.

I'm guessing the Playcast is a newer model...searched the forum and haven't seen any posts yet. It's got working lights...I'll post some pics of em all together later on. For now, pics I found of the Playcast.

BTW, JB1 what area of Japan do you visit for business??

Sweet, I live in Uraga, Kanagawa prefecture. I'm about an hour drive from Sagamihara.

You should try to "schedule" a business trip out here around the next Tokyo Auto Salon...its not too far from Sagamihara.

Yeah, that would be nice! When is the next Auto salon? Last year I just missed out on the Tokyo Auto Show, I had to fly back just a few days before the show started

Was interested, too, so decided to do a search on just what the deal was and it looks like the 370Z (transformer) only comes in "silver" (if I read this right):

I'd LOVE to get my hands on that 1/32 Playcast model. Wondering if anyone cares to work out a deal...

I picked up one last night that is black...they only had two. I didn't see any other colors.

Slynky · 03-10-2010, 08:42 PM

Oh, and for the record, I'm SO tired of looking for the new Hot Wheels 370Z

AND, to top it off, I think (hope not) it's yellow. But I haven't been able to find it.

dropped1 · 03-10-2010, 08:49 PM

Odds are the yellow "hot wheels" model your seeing is a Japanese Tomica model...I'll PM you Slynky.

It is yellow which I like since my Z is yellow. But don't worry, hotwheels undoubtably will release in the next few months some different colors for the 370z. Just have to be patient. Also, the reason you haven't found it is that it's only been out about a week.

Thanks. I've seen some of the other 2010 models and assumed it would be out already, too.

Yellow... good for you

Have to wait and see if another color comes out.
