Daddy's Tomica Collection

[Eggie86]

Stumbled upon a treasure chest of sorts when I went back to my daddy's hometown last Thursday to usher in the Hokkien New Year.Actually realised that my dad had been an ardent collector of miniatures for ages! Just had to snap pics of some really interesting cars, and obviously, they're BMW-skewed. :love:Sorry that the pics quality ain't that good since it was taken with my mobile.

Guess what model? Answers in the next picture.

E21 320i. :love:

Side profile. Lotsa interesting cars in the background too.

Original Mini... Mizhan, similar with the one you used to have ar? :4:

Another shot of the Mini.

Group shot. E34 followed by the E21, E23 and finally, E24. :top:

That lime-ish green E24 is quite nice. Kinda dig those rims. :4: Not Tomica though. I cannot recall whether it's from Corgi or Maisto, or another brand.

A couple more side shots.

Can anyone spot the Rover SD1? :4: Didn't realise Tomica used to come out with these really interesting models in the past. Their present ones are simply... Well, uninteresting to be honest. Hope these cars will be entrusted to me someday... :love:

Haha, yeah. I know what you mean. I thought you're taking the LRT to work to avoid the inevitable congestion?

Yup, will do bro! Such a breeze being able to get to work without the silly congestion. Actually reached my office before 7 today... Crap. :4:

The older ones are still the most treasured it seems, compared to today's Hot Wheels/Matchbox/Tomica offerings...

Thanks bro. Not mine, dad's, :4: Have some decent miniatures currently, but it pales into insignificance when compared to these classics! :love:
