cteno4 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Few new things headed out in Oct from Tomytec: Car collection #8 - set of minivans. this will be one to split up, will we need that many mini vans?!! I really hope set 9 is the micro cars and vans. still what is missing from the quintessential japanese street scene! http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10093976 two structures from town collection #1 in one box (barber shop and photo shop) for the building collection series. being released in two different paint schemes just like in town collection 1. more in the re-release of items from the town collection individually as building collection series. guess it makes sense as they have the dies for these already to go so cheap to repackage them! http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10094020 http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10094021 two different small gas stations for the building collection. this will be nice as they look to be nice and small for that crammed japanese scene! the tomix gas station is a bit of a brute in size for a lot of scenes. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10094022 http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10094023 and drum roll please, for those who like the train girls and want a container series with them on it, its coming in sept! http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10094050 cheers, jeff Link to comment
Guest ___ Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 The price for the containers is way out there. Link to comment
cteno4 Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share Posted July 4, 2009 yeah i forgot to mention that! it does seem very high considering you can get a set of 10 trucks with containers painted from them for only like 20% more! does work out to about $3.75/container w/o shipping. at least its cheaper than the Hogarakadou and deluxe innovations container. im not all that much of a rail daughers fan anyway and not sure how they will look in a container stack! seems to be a real collector release that you show in the nice case. there are 20 different containers but only get them in 12 to a pack so they are really pushing the collecting here to have to buy multiple cases in order to get a full set! also odd there is no case yet announced for this, would expect this to be one with a case for sure. rather put time and money in on the jrm containers. much more fun. cheers jeff Link to comment
cteno4 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 hurry up and get your rail daughter container sets! already sold out at hs, there were 5 at hw earlier today now down to 1 in stock! http://www.hwjapan.com/sh/TOM22332.aspx ok ok, i broke down and got a set... oddly attractive as an odd item to have in the collection. maybe sell a few off to club members as well. cheers jeff Link to comment
Martijn Meerts Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Had those containers on pre-order for quite a while already, sure, they're a bit expensive, but they'll look great on a layout =) Link to comment
cteno4 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 not horrible at $4 each. it only added like $5 SAL to some other items i wanted... now Hogarakadou containers... ouch, but they make some nice refer containers. jeff Link to comment
Guest ___ Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Pft, I could go to the Philipines and buy real girls for the coast of the Tomytec containers. granted they wouldn't fit on the layout very well, and I'm sure my cat would be royally freaked out by it. Link to comment
cteno4 Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 Tomytec train girl containers came today. nice containers, well done and up to the normal tomytec vehicle quality. detailed decals applied well. i think it was definitely an impulse buy! interesting items, but not sure quite what to do with them. i may sell some of them off, so yell if you are interested in any of these. cheers jeff Link to comment
Bernard Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I looked at the photo in Hobby Search and I'm a little confused. It's containers with the image of the "Little sexy dolls" on them? Jeff - do you mind posting a photo? Link to comment

cteno4 Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 they have the train girls from the figure series painted on the 40' containers. basically the same as the truck series, one container (no truck though) to a box, sold in a case of 12. i have not opened them all up to see if i got any duplicates. i think there was a set of 20 and you only got a random 12 per case. again the collector thing, not as definite as the regular tomytec vehicle series. ill snap some pict sunday and post. they worked out to about $4.25/container so not bad for a 40' painted container. just not quite my style, it was an impulse buy... cheers jeff Link to comment
Guest ___ Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 For the money, I'd rather buy the girls themselves. Tetsudo Masumi collection is a big seller in the Tomy line. Link to comment
cteno4 Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 volume 2 is due out in march 2010 http://www.hwjapan.com/sh/TOM2009120108.aspx http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10104743 cheers, jeff Link to comment
