The Germans have reached Japan!

Here are a few of my 3" Siku (German Die-cast Car Brand) cars in a Japanese street diorama setup (Tomica Tomy Town Playsets). Most of the car models in this setup are European in make.

Enjoy viewing the photos! =)

Thanks and enjoy the photos. =)

Detailed side view mirrors are included in the box, I'll install them once I have a permanent display case for my Tomica Limited Vintage dioramas.

What did I open today?

Most collectors encounter this problem with their collections specially with the carded, blistered packs and hard to find ones.....do they open it or not? So some buy at least 3 pieces of the same kind - 1 for trade, 1 for opening and 1 to keep MoC (Mint on Card). I used to belong to their group but now I only buy 1 piece and prefer to set them loose but I also keep some items MoC for future opening, trade or simply for easier storage purposes.

In November 9, 2005, I started a thread at DCPH with the topic of - What did you open today? It's almost 4 yrs now and it has 1506 replies and was viewed for 24881 times. As far as I know, it's one of the longest threads in our forum.

Now I'd like to start one here with my latest piece by Matchbox. It's nothing special and just a regular item but I really like the details and the working features of this truck.
