Tomica - Nissan Fuga
Very seldom a sedan Tomica has openable trunk. So this is indeed a very special car.
Tomica - Nissan Cedric Japanese Taxi
Ten years ago, I attempted to convert this taxi into a normal version like this particular Cedric. Unfortunately, I lacked the required skills and knowledge in toy car restoration and modification. The taxi was in terrible condition. I could not patch up the two holes after removing the taxi top light box. Also, I did not know how to remove the paint effectively; instead I tried to apply many layers of paint to cover up the taxi design. It failed terribly as the entire car looked like a piece of detail-less crap.
Only recently I found this unit for sale on eBay. Very lucky indeed.

Tomica - Mini Cooper (Regular)
This is also a very nice classic Mini Cooper. My personal favorite, apart from the Union Jack edition.
Tomica - Mitsubishi Pajero (4th Gen)
This is the first five-door Pajero in the entire generation range. Nice color.

Tomica Limited - Nissan Cedric (5th Gen)
This is my very first Tomica Limited which I bought back in 2005. Obviously it was love at first sight; totally fits my criteria.

Matchbox - Citroen DS
A true legend with technologies ahead of its time; hydropneumatic suspension, power steering, directional headlights. it's even more expensive now than it was back in 1955.
Tomica - Toyota RAV 4 (1st Gen)
aaah.... a 1994 RAV 4... i wonder why Tomica cannot produce cars of such quality anyone....
Tomica - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII
I was searching high and low for this many years ago. In the end I found it in a display set in Jusco's Toys Department. I had to bribe the Malay girl to open the damn cabinet and smuggle it in a Toyota box.
RealToy - BMW 760Li
A well-made car with a balanced scale. Again I must emphasize that;
It is only right for me to give my utmost endorsement to this brand as the market needs to have a balancing force, to neutralize the overwhelming, nauseating and revolting presence of certain pseudo-diecast toy cars which are actually nothing but a pile of horribly-colored scrapped metal with retarded designs, otherwise known as HOTWHEELS.

Tomica - Toyota Corolla Axio
This Corolla Axio fits my collection criteria perfectly. It is suitably scaled, decent amount of details outside and inside the car (there is a DASHBOARD?), nice color and definitely a normal 4-door sedan. It is such a darling to me; I have two of these :)
Tomica - Mitsubishi Triton
