Rant: Not finding the cars I want

-
One of the biggest issues for me is that I often NEVER see some of the cars I want local to me.

When the Japanese Historic collection came out, I was NEVER able to find them locally.

When the Transports series with the Japanese cars came out, I was never able to find them locally.

Cars and doughnuts? Fast and the Furious?

I don't know what it is, but I never see them around my area.

It truly sucks!!!

The first time I got a model was in 1999. At the time, I owned a 1995 Honda civic hatchback DX. When I started to talk to Mege-san about the car scene, I saw that Tamiya had an red civic hatchback! He got me that model and sent it to me.  This was my first attempt with a model and I tried to replicate it to me like my actual car (sans the intercooler). My EG at the time: After that I dabbed in scale modeling bit by bit. I would go through waves of interests, then back off throughout the years.  The height of my interests and getting models completed was in 2004.

Additionally, I was also in Gundam scale models at 1/144 When I stopped visiting Japan, I bought some models online, but I decided to ...

Diecast Japanese vans!

I have always liked vans. Currently own a 95 Toyota Previa LE SC and 14 Toyota Sienna SE So naturally, I would want to get diecast vans. Unfortunately, Matchbox and Hot Wheels haven't really made many vans. Hot Wheels did release a Honda Odyssey and the RR Honda Odyssey based of the Bisimoto 1000hp van. It wasn't until 2016, when I was in Japan, I picked up a few vans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USlo7dvGxbk I decided I need to get some of the older vans, so my brother Noguchi-san helped me find some and sent them to me!

Diecast car intro

Like anyone that loves toys, I'm very nostalgic. As an adult, I am more of a collector (like most) and also share the hobby with my kids I made this video when my eldest son was a few months old. At the time, I was getting older lots of used cars and rebuilding them. Now rebuilding them has a lot more resources!
