Japanese Die Cast Cars? Looking for specific ones... (Lawson, Famima, 7-11)

[adrianKeith]

Hey all, 

 

I'm looking for the following --

 

Takara Tomy Isuzu Lawson Delivery Truck -- looks like this! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tomy-Tomica-Lawson-Sales-car-Isuzu-delivery-truck-2-Car-sets-/172493318999?hash=item2829672b57:g:D-8AAOSwopRYgPEV

 

As well as the 7-11 and Family Mart one if it exists! Anyone know good places to find them? That one from eBay is incredibly expensive. I never saw the blue colored Takara boxes anywhere :\

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Tomica models are flexible scale well beyond N scale.  The concept is that a ten-year old child should be able to hold the model in the palm of his hand.  A bus will be smaller than a car or K-truck. If you just want a model of a Japanese vehicle these are good but they do not fit into a particular scale.  There are 140 models in the Tomica line at any one time and models are added and deleted regularly.

Thanks! I'll have a look at the links. 

 

I love the model cars but felt a bit jipped when I bought the Toyota Crown Taxi Car. I mean, I saw the sample in the store but still wanted it.. it just didn't have the rear view mirrors on the front hood/quarter panels :\
