Where to Get Tomica Toys in the US

We reported that Tomica was returning to the US market and debuting at the JCCS. Here are the details on where to buy them.

There will be 27 different playsets available and most will include one or two cars. For the first year, Toys R Us will have an exclusive retail deal with Tomy, and they will be located in the educational playsets area (Lego, Brio train sets), not in the same aisle as Hot Wheels and Matchboxes. The launch date was September 26, so they should be trickling into Toys R Us stores near you, if they’re not there already. Prices range from $4.99 to $79.99.

Because of licensing convolutions, cars will be labeled with their JDM names (ie, Nissan Fairlady Z instead of Nissan 370Z). Unfortunately, cars will not be sold separately for the moment, but they are working on that, and plan onย bringing over items geared towards the adult collector as well. Also, keep your eye out for some upcoming contest giveaways here at JNC!

    Thanks for the update guys . Right now you can only get Tomica cars from the Capsule machines (mini-vending machines) or the Toy & Collector shows here in Canada. Hope they reissue the second generation Sylvia !

    I should be reviewing some products soon on the Tomica Fan Club forum.

    If you decide you’re really a Tomica fan, then join their Facebook page, as well as the Tomica Fan Club. ๐Ÿ™‚

    As of now, many sets are already posted on the Toys R US website. These include the car dealership, fire station, launcher and others. Prices are good compared to grey market imports from years past. The play mat with a Daihatsu and Mitsubishi i go for $4.99. The auto dealership that comes with a green Mazda2 goes for $15.99 on the site but double or more on Ebay. Check them out! Search “Tomica” on the trus website, it didnt come up when “Tomy” was searched for some reason.

    YES! My Tomica Murcielago, Lancer, (Japan-only) Coke truck, NSX, R32, Prelude, and Toyota Crown Athlete (if I can find it!) will not be so lonely anymore!

    I’m 19, by the way haha. ๐Ÿ˜€

    Are you able to please sell Tomica in St Louis, Mo, in the United States? Tomica is my favorite type of toys, and I love them so much! I want them to be at stores in the United States, so that I can get Tomica without ordering it on amazon or eBay!
