UPDATE
I have been trying to get back into the habit of updating my website as well as the blog. I’ve been cleaning up some pages and re-editing the homepage. I have also added a new Toyota Tale:
The Tachikawa Air Base Crown
Follow the LINK to read some of the memories that a serviceman has for a Toyopet Crown that he owned while stationed in Tokyo in 1968.

MAJORETTE
I purchased this Majorette from ‘copcar65′ on the MCCH forum. The model was originally bought at a Renys department store located in the state of Maine.

LITERATURE
The final items from my friend Cruiser72 were several publications – two issues of TOYOTA MAGAZIN which is sent to new car owners, and a GT86 Brochure.

SCHUCO
PICCOLO
TOYOPET CROWN
Metallic Blue / blau-metallic
Limited Edition 500 pcs
From all of the models that CRUISER72 sent me, this is probably my favorite model. The size of Piccolo models is said to be 1:90, or HO guage for model railway trains. This blue version is one of two color variations. I received the black version in 2012.

MOTOR MAX
TOYOTA CAMRY
MONDO MOTORS – FAST ROAD
When I first saw this model several things came to mind. First was I thought I might have this model already, but I wasn’t certain. Second was I thought it didn’t belong with the blister, since the bubble was stapled to the card and the model didn’t really seem to fit too well. Thinking this model didn’t go with the package, I immediately removed the model from the plastic and threw the package into the recycling bin. Then a friend pointed out to me that I already have one of these – my reaction was “huh?” and then “oops!” Sure enough Cruiser72 sent me another one just like this a few years ago!

TOYOTA PRIUS
MajoCity Small
This package has a date stamp on the back of 28 MAR 2012, and the bottom of the diorama baseplate also has a sticker dated 03/12.
I find it funny that the diorama gas station is named “BIOGAS” since the Prius is a hybrid, but doesn’t use biogas.
