    I want to thank Speedracer for the Prius die cast... he did a great job of getting it here so quickly... the car is sooooo neat... if you didn't get one ...Sorry... not only is it a 1/30 scale compared to the 1/60 scale of the tomy (which is a nice die cast as well and the hatch opens)... the doors open and there is a spring loaded (motor) that when you back the car up it runs forward.. TOO COOL... as a larger scale it also has the antenna and outside mirrors.. I think it is funny that it like the Tomy was made it China.. What happened to the toys made in Japan?

    Again, thank you Speedracer.... Bob Andersen

    Who makes these models? I haven't been able to find any web references. Are they Toyota's own promotional items?

    I dont know who makes this diecast... Its like one of European member posted before about Minichamp diecast(in France).. its like that.. Toyota is no plan to sale to general public.

    I saw the Minichamps car in the album section... saw that a couple of people had asked the guy who posted the pictures where they could get one, but he had never answered.. I have done a minichamps prius search on Google and an on going eBay search... but have never found anything...

    As for the Prius speedracer got for me, it has only that it is made for Toyota... and no other markings that I could find..

    now I have 3 sizes... the Tomy 1/60...the (speedracer) 1/30... and the one I drive... :lol:

    You all missed one. You must have a friend in Japan as the website for these will not answer you.
    Yes, they are very tiny 1/150 size. See the quarter next to the Tomica on the left and the Model Planning on the right.
    No I have three also- Model planning (1/150), Tomica (1/60), and my Silver devil- large- it does use gas while the others get infinate milage...

    Dave... I got mine in three days... Speedracer was quick to send me a paypal address.. then a tracking number... great person to do business with...

    Cathy... the Tomy car is like a Match Box diecast.... liked the other site you posted... but my reading of Japanese is worse than my speaking it.. Japan was my second home in 1963-64, in between trips to the Bay of Tonkin...
