Tomica Dandy Volkswagen Delivery Van in 1:43, made in Japan









Ah...my favourite diecast , Tomica Dandy VW Delivery Van in 1:43. I got this model a year ago and I bagged this item locally. A fellow classic car collector SYSTEMS offered this for $US8 ( P400) at that time). Some people will never pay a dollar for a beat up old diecast but I sure would. This Tomica Dandy is very hard to find even in Japan and even if you find one, cost would be close to $US90 to S100 in mint condition, pristine box. I am still on the lookout for a mint in box VW Delivery Van and if I find one, i would surely buy it and just look away when they swipe my credit card.

  4. Brian, your mindset and mine is about the same. We are authentic toy car / diecast collectors. If you talk to new toy cars collector about all these, I can tell you, it's like vomitting blood.
