Old Japanese Matchbox cars

-

Since my focus is collecting Japanese cars and I am a kid of the 80s.. I find myself always trying to get a bit of that nostalgic feeling when collecting or searching for stuff. 

I've gotten cars from Zyll/Zylmex/Zee Toys and Yat Ming... but I didn't realize that Matchbox had some concept cars released in the 70s

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).

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!
