Toy Zone's Tom Daniels Collection!
This is an awesome collection of 1/43 Scale and 1/18 scale die cast cars. These cars are well made and I have had few returns mainly due to perfectionism. There are several lines currently available.
1/18 scale: Bad Medicine, Red Baron & Gold Version, Tijuana Taxi, Paddy Wagon, Trantula.
Drawback: No additional large scale available except for Romels Rod which has no scheduled date. There have been many requests for the large scale S'cool Bus but that's unlikely. I will keep you posted should new ones come out.
The 1/43 scale cars which includes the Paddy Wagon, Red Baron, Trantula, Tijuana Taxi, Bad Medicine, Ice T, S'cool Bus and the Cherry Bomb is a really cool small scale set. But has been mainly repeated in the Black Rad Ratz series which includes white wall tires. Sorry, I'm not as impressed with this series. It's also missing the Cherry Bomb.
I do like the Redline Collectors pack!
This set brings that nostalgic feeling back with those redline tires and comes in a really nice package as well.
The next line which is also not so hot is the Showrod racing set. To me, this leaves the collector out and attempts to bring the kids back into the fray with a set you really wish to play with as opposed to stashing on your shelf. There are only 4 types available. The Red Baron, Ice T, Tijuana Taxi and the Paddy Wagon.
Stand BACK! The next line of Tom Daniels Series 3 has finally reached our shores and they are a smash! This line comes with 4 versions of the Sand Crab! The Tom Daniels 1/43 Sand Crab is a HIT! Unfortunately there are a few glitches with this series. Those collectors who already have the BLUE Sand Crab...........Congratulations. There seems to be a hit and miss with this particular color and due to the uneven packaging, the BLUE Crab is a very LIMITED and RARE item. The Green, Line Yellow and the Yellow are still pretty much available.
<P>
Regarding the LONG awaited 1/43 ROMMEL'S ROD, the word is that it has been "put on hold"! ANYONE interested in getting 'direct' answers should call TOY ZONE at: 626-815-9998; also, if you are interested in seeing any more BIG 1/18 scale 'TD' Classics in die cast, please let the folks at TOY ZONE know at the telephone number above.
Hopefully, more cool cars are on the way. Maybe they can bring some more of Tom's classics back to life! Check out my ebay store Autumn_Saige for more great stuff!
