But, this does not mean there isn’t any good model to keep in regular series. If you have a copy of Tomica catalog, you will notice some numbers have been canceled out.
These models are licensed models from the brands’ company, e.g. Coca-cola and Yamazaki. It usually distributed in Japan domestic market, limited quantity will be available in overseas.
Please be noted also, agreement between Tomica and Coca-Cola already end. There will be no Coke models until next license renewal in future. Last Coca-Cola models issued on regular collection are #37 Coca Cola Event Car (22/07/2006) and #105 Coca-Cola Route Truck (18/11/2006).

No. 100th Post
This is my number 100th post, but in back end my actual written posts are further that this number.
I spend almost one to one and half hours everyday to write posts. I work 5 days week, and my weekend time i spend for my family. Hence, all weekend posts are actually pre-schedule in advance.
After trained myself for slightly over 2 months, I already had my momentum to keep going forward. Thus, my next target to hit is 500th post. See you there. Cheers, YeoCP//
