We’ve already reported that Tomica is back in a big way in the USA, selling playsets and cars exclusively at Toys”R”Us. But the one thing we’ve heard most consistently was: What if I just want the cars? How can I get Tomica models stateside without having to buy a set? An answer might be at hand.
Just recently, on the Tomica USA facebook page, a single photo (seen here) of a blistercarded car was shown, with a single line – “Our fans requested it” – along with it. The picture looks like a single-blister car line is ready to go – with a stock number, the under-3-years warning and the delightful tease of this being part of Series 1 – and, while it seems like there won’t be enough time to make it in stores for Christmas, we would surmise that these would be part of the post-holiday planogram.
As soon as we learn more about timing and the models involved, we’ll let you know.
