1/30 Scale model of 2006 Prius

You have the Monopoly Prius!

I need that.


My collection so far, minus a few new things.

 

Where did you get the racing versions?

Here's one you don't have...[attachmentid=5488]

 

What's another word for obsessed? Just kidding...what a great collection! My husband thinks I'm a huge dork b/c I have black and silver 1/34 pull-backs that I got from Rufaro a few months back and I keep them on the kitchen counter. But then again he's the one who puts them on the floor and makes them race each other, LOL. :lol:

 

I think I have the obsession for Prius toy cars- about a stable of 40 of different sizes , shapes, etc. Notice 1/110 size.(3rd shelf down right) , Car Magnets (Toyota Museum in Japan), a couple of 1/30 from Toyota, a couple of Minichamps from Europe, scorpio prius, etc.



Top 9 cars by @car - website no longer works.
Top row- Toyota 1/30 car from Japan (Toyeast sells them for $$$), next 1/34 size (I sell), Car magnets from Toyota Museum in Japan (from Speedracer), smallest Tomica- plastic body- sold in gumaball machines

3rd row down- Most of the Tomicas plus 1/150 size by Model Planning (company now bankrupt) .

Most of them were obtained from friends in Japan.

What I REALLY want is a Radio Controlled Prius. There is one but very ellusive...

 

I think it might be helpful for those of us who are "Prisessed" (Prius obsessed/posessed - does that work for you, Rancid? ) to know where all of these WeePriis come from. I've found some of them at ToyEast, and some from Rufaro (more soon!), but I have yet to find the 'land speed' version, and I didn't know about the tiny ones until today. Maybe ToyEast, for instance, has certain ones available for only a limited time. Could one of the uh...more afflicted collectors maybe post a list? Thanks.

 

I added some descriptions below the picture in my previous post.

Still looking for a Radio Controlled Prius....

Admitting you have a problem is the first step.

 

I've got a collection too. I'll take pictures later and try to post them later. I have the black Minichamps 1/43 scale Prius(only 1008 of them were made), The 1/34 scale Prius that inventor00 sells, 2 Tomica 1/60 scale Prii and the Toyota Offically Licensed 1/30 scale 2006/7 Prius sold by Toyeast.

 

I searched the web for Toy Prius cars and found the ToyEast car for $80. Feeling flush and thinking it was better than the PriusChat car offered by Rufaro, I went ahead and ordered it, thinking it would be some special Official Toyota model car. It arrived and I think it is exactly like the ones Rufaro sells for $10, so I'm out $70! The one from ToyEast has a pull-back motor, the front two doors open, and it is a left-hand drive, just like Rufaro's. Can someone tell me if I was duped?

Thanks for the fast response. I posted from work without my toy car in hand. Now that I look at it, and the photo you pointed out showing the 1/30 and 1/34 together, I see mine is a better model. And, on the underside it says 1/30 size. I was philosophical about paying $80, and had accepted that I got a nice little model, regardless of whether I could have gotten the same thing for $10. So now I'm happy it's such a worthy deal, and ToyEast is a good vendor!
Thanks! Stephen
