Does anyone know of a decent place to order Tomica/choro-Q stuff? I used to use ToyEast,but their website doesnt show any Tomica anymore.

Don't know what happened with Toyeast, but I do know they did not fulfill a lot of orders and a lot of people got ripped-off. I was lucky as my last order from 2010 went through fine.

If you can buy stuff directly from Japan, it's no problem getting Choro-Q, otherwise only good recommendation is eBay.

Thats what i've been doing,but its a bit pricey.I usually just make one big order from one seller to save on shipping,but they're alway so limited as far as what they have.I have been able to find a few rare ones,like the tomica limited vintage LV24a Crown. I've been looking for that one for almost a year,lol.

Here's a list of possible sources, as taken from my post on the Tomica Fan Club...

My paint and brushes and practically everything are all old and worn out, so I couldn't paint the whole thing a scheme I wanted. I'm sure I'll take the whole thing apart and paint the body, cage, and interior when I can afford new paint and brushes sometime.

I painted the inside of the barrels and the spokes of the wheels red just kinda 'because', and they turned out rather nice I think. My orange paint became separated in the year or two since I'd last used it, so no front side markers or tail light detail. All of my paints are at least somewhat screwed-up. :-/ C'est la vie, eh?

The downside is they aren't out til September in the us, so maybe 2013 here in Oz......

Camshaft · **Posted:** Thu Aug 25, 2011 8:42 am

I can't wait! I love the 'Real Riders" on Hot Wheels cars. I've already got a couple of 510s on my desk here at work, I want to add some more.

Go Baby Go · **Posted:** Fri Aug 26, 2011 4:26 am

Latest one.....................

I can't claim ownership- a friend emailed it to me to stir... needless to say I'm on the hunt..

Camshaft · **Posted:** Fri Aug 26, 2011 8:54 am
