There are a lot of model cars that Tomytec have in store for Tomica Limited Vintage collectors this 2013. I sure hope that they continue to make foreign cars as I really look forward to getting the Mercedes Benz 190E and the Audi 80 model cars that I pre-ordered. Tomytec will also release three boxed sets from the 80's television show, Seibu Keisatsu, which is an action packed police drama series in Japan.

Micro Sensation

For something measuring barely two inches, the detail that Tomica put in this model car is amazing. The wheels, the tires, the grills and even the logos are all there. It would be nice if Tomica could make side mirrors for this car. The Suzuki Alto was launched in May 1979. It is the hatchback version of the Suzuki Fronte. It's cheap price made it very popular among motorists.
