FJ25 Land Cruiser Models

[treerootCO]

Probably the rarest Land Cruiser toys in existence...

It took awhile to track them down but had some help from Caddisfly and his contact in Japan to secure both! Model PET #4 and #23 made in Japan by Asahi Toy Company (ATC).

With the boxes? That has got to be well into the price of the real thing.

Not mine, just one that showed up on ebay. Let' see where the insanity takes this one.

$815 for the red Tomica Big Foot one.... By my count, that is a new record.

temting for the box since mine doesn't have one, but would be more tempting if it was the one with the top

They have a Silver one too.

I just saw that!

Looks like there is a gold one too. The grill is a different color so I don't think it is the lighting making it look gold. The one above is silver for sure.

and the silver one had what looks like a silver top
