Hot Sixty 4th: Land of the Tomica Transporter

Welcome to Hot Sixty 4th in which I show off my DLM 1/64 and smaller and sometimes larger collections. On my 216th post is a Tomica Limited Vintage Neo Auto Hauler (to borrow from M2) with not only a long 1/64 casting but literally a really long name as well called LV-N89 (d) Hino HE366 Tractor + Antico ASZ022 Car Transporter.

This took about a month to arrive with some other TLV which I will be showing in the future.

As most of you know Tomica had already released several colors of this car transporter and this is the 4th variation (indicated by the letter ‘d’). I was foolish not to order this when they previously came out as I felt that I already had the M2 car transporter and did not need another one. The demand must have been great as the prices have skyrocketed. Now that Tomica had release this same casting at a more reasonable price I felt its time to take the plunge.

So what can I say about this casting? It is solidly built like in the old Lesney days as the transporter is completely metal.

Here’s for size comparison.

Truly a nice model and also comes with separate side mirrors accessories for you to install if you wish to. Of course it does not come cheap but you will appreciate the detail and functionality of the model. If you are still on the fence, now is the time to acquire this.
