Everyone loves a Skyline. Well everyone loves a Skyline as long as it fits their expectations. Most like their Skylines with the letters “G” “T”, and “R” attached. They like theirs in a racing deco, or something related. I like mine that way too.
But I also LOVE them stock. It is so fun to see what the Skyline was before it became such a staple of the car scene these days. And that is why we collectors who like that sort of thing love Tomica Limited Vintage.
And that is why we are very excited about what is coming from TLV, this month and in the future.
It starts with what is part of the October batch, which was just listed by Japan Booster. Among the brand new Nissan Prarie and a couple of awesome trucks are three versions of a brand new casting, the Nissan Skyline 2000GT, also known as the Skyline Japan.
You don’t see the Japan Skyline in diecast form as much as you do the Kenmeri and Hakosuka, for example, but it is a worthy choice, especially in TLV stock. We will spend more time on the model once we get it (check out those awesome wheels!), but for now you can see it and buy one or all three at Japan Booster:

The rest of the October Batch, including the brand new Prairie:
But that is not all. With the collecting landscape the way it is currently, an R34 Skyline will always make waves. But this is Tomica Limited Vintage, and they always like to do things their way.
I say R34 Skyline, and I would guess that most of the time collectors will visualize the Nismo GT-R. It is a signature Skyline, and has been duplicated in miniature numerous times. Considering that, it seems odd that Tomica Limited Vintage would do something that has already been done so many times.
That is unless they do the sedan version.
And that is exactly what they are doing.
