I went to the mall yesterday to visit the outside world after a long week of work and to buy "tikoy" to celebrate Chinese New Year. Of course I won't miss the chance to visit Toys R Us.
Whenever I am in a toy store, the first thing I always check is the acrylic display case of Tomica. I don't know why, either. The fact that my collection is 70% Hot Wheels and 15 % Matchbox and the rest consists of other brands (including Tomica) makes this habit a bit odd. The usual routine is after checking Tomica and find nothing interesting, I will go to the Hot Wheels and Matchbox section.
But yesterday was different. It was Tomica > stay....> Hot Wheels > Matchbox > Hot Wheels > Tomica > other toys > Tomica.
In the end, I found myself getting this:
Because a regular Tomica has a higher price than regular Hot Wheels and Matchbox, my criteria for buying from this brand is always the details and if the car is worth it.
And I can say that it is.
What I always like in Tomica is it's opening doors, though not all of their casting has them. Maybe that's also one reason why I bought this :-)
Details are good.
And another reason for buying this is my frustration with Tomica's Bumblebee. Man, that's too pricey for my taste. But this one satisfies me for a low price. I can just put black stripes on it's hood and it will become Bumblebee. (But I don't think I will do that LOL!)
I love that Chevy!
