hi again, its tomica thursday. today ill be featuring the honda civic type r tomica number 54. A little bit of wiki of the Honda Civic type R

The Honda Civic Type R is the highest performance version of the Honda Civic made by Honda Motor Company of Japan. It features a lightened and stiffened body, specially tuned engine and upgraded brakes and chassis. Red is also used in the interior to give it a special sporting distinction and to separate it from other Honda models. In Japan, a one-make series of Honda Type R cars where privateers can purchase an off-road Type R and compete in a series championship is a stepping stone for many aspiring racing drivers.

TOMICA THURSDAY : nissan tomica EBBRO GT-R sepang spec

Hi again fellow collectors, Every Thursday is TOMICA THURSDAY. And to start off this week, i'll introduce to you Nissan Tomica EBBRO GT-R 2009 sepang spec. First and foremost, lets wiki Tomica's History.

Brief history of Tomica (wikipedia) :-

Tomy Co. of Japan was founded in 1924 and produced various toys throughout its existence, but it was not until 1970 that it started to produce Tomica as a result of the surge of interest in die-cast cars. Although Tomica of various scales have been made, the term “Tomica” when used alone refers to the 3-inch models. Regular Tomica refers to the mainstream Tomica sold at the regular price—domestic series, foreign series, or common series, depending on the time of release. Tomy Corporation made its North American and European debut in 2010, under the Tomica brand.

Initially, Tomy only produced Japanese cars. This started out with the concurrent release of six models in 1970. The seventh model was issued later in 1970. From then on, the Tomica line grew in number until there was a total of 109 concurrently-sold models in 1978 — nos. 1 – 108 plus no. 110. The first no. 109 model was proposed and seen in catalogues but was never released. The variety of models also expanded from the initial coupes and saloons to taxis, buses, lorries, work vehicles and other commercial vehicles, to even steam engines and an ocean cruiser. As new models were issued, each was assigned a number within 1 to 110, thus replacing the existing model. In the early 1980s, Tomy experienced financial difficulties. Subsequently, the domestic model line was reduced to only 80 models (nos. 1 – 80) in 1983. These models were mainly packaged in picture boxes. At first, the boxes used a black background. Since 1984, each new model came with a new style box with red-and-white background, while existing models issued before 1984 kept using the older style box with black background until 1988, when all boxes were updated to the new style. Hence, domestic models are commonly referred to as the “black box” or “red-and-white Box” models depending on their boxes.
