Preparing for an Exhibit - Tomica 40th Anniversary

We'll be celebrating Tomica's 40th Anniversary here in the Philippines this coming week-end. Our club DCPH will be helping out in this event by having some members exhibit their Tomica collections. I might join this exhibit if the 10 available display modules are not filled by Thursday.

While thinking about my possible exhibit theme, I felt the urge to shoot a few Tomica models last night. At first I thought about my new Tomica Limited Vintage models that recently arrived but when I was browsing my display cabinet, I saw this set hidden behind the new arrivals.
Enjoy the photos!

Tomica 40th Anniversary - Gift Set 1



I got 2 40th Anniversary Gift Sets from Tomica last month and I only got the chance to open then shoot them last Holy Week. All cars were regular Tomica releases but they all have the Tomica 40th Anniversary tampos. 

I hope you enjoy viewing the photos as much as I enjoyed playing around with them in this shoot.

What's my 1st haul for 2010?

I was at Powerplant Mall, Rockwell Center last Thursday and after having lunch with my mom and brother, I decided to take a peek at Kidstation. There were no new items in sight on the Tomica and Matchbox shelves. =(

When I was about to leave the store, the Tomica sales rep told me that they just received a new delivery and it was still in their storage. He told to wait and when he came back, he was carrying the new Honda Cars 4 car gift set.




Woohoo! I just couldn't resist this set, it's a must have! lol!

Toyota Crown Comfort Taxi Gift Set

Here are the four variations of the Toyota Crown Comfort Taxi by Tomica. These Taxis can be found in the busy streets of Hong Kong and Macau (Black).



The Hong Kong Taxis are divided into 3 types and color coded to easily identify the service area of each type but all of them serve Hong Kong International Airport and Disneyland.


Urban Taxi


The red taxis have the highest fares among all, and serve all areas of Kowloon, Hong Kong Island. They may run Tung Chung (Lantau), the Airport at Chek Lap Kok (Lantau) and Disneyland, but are not permitted to run the rest of Lantau Island. These taxis can only carry passengers in the Lantau or New Territories areas if the passengers are returning to Kowloon or Hong Kong Island, or must return to their service areas themselves to continue their business.

New Territories Taxi


The green taxis, the second most expensive, serve only parts of the New Territories, including Sai Kung, Tuen Mun, Yuen Long, Fanling, Sheung Shui, Ma On Shan, Tai Po, West of Ting Kau, North of Chuen Lung and North of CUHK, except Lantau Island, Tseung Kwan O, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan, Kwai Chung and Tsing Yi. They are allowed to serve the taxi stands at Sha Tin Racecourse, Prince of Wales Hospital, Shun Lee Estate, Tseung Kwan O Hospital, Hang Hau Station, Tsing Yi Station and Tsuen Wan Station, which are designated interchange with red taxis. Although they serve the Airport and Disneyland, they do not serve Tung Chung and the rest of Lantau Island.

Lantau Island Taxi


The blue taxis run exclusively on southern Lantau Island, Tung Chung, the Airport and Disneyland, thus they are restricted to a small area. They are not quite as visible since there are only around 50 of them.

Macau Taxi


These Taxis are all over the airport, the Hong Kong-Macau ferry terminal, major gaming venues and hotels in the city though it is rather hard to get one during rush hours on the streets. There are two types of livery on Macau's taxis - one is a black body with cream color top (the black cab) and the other is yellow on the whole (the yellow cab).

Toyota Celica - Tomica 30th Anniversary Gift Set

Here are 4 models of the Toyota Celica from a Tomica 30th Anniversary Gift Set which I got in Hong Kong last May 2008. I found it inside a small and crowded toy store along the "Toy Street" of Wan Chai, Hong Kong.



From what you can see in the actual photo above, the box was not in MINT condition. Dust and dents on the box was due to shelf ware. The white plastic case inside the box was also yellowish in color but the seal of the box was intact. Nevertheless, I still bought it due to the very encouraging low price tag compared to the other stores around "Toy Street". It was a bargain!


Enjoy the photos! =)
