4. Premium Tomica

Premium Tomica トミカプレミアム

With the end of line to Tomica Limited in 2013 (of which 156 models were released), the hiatus in the production of Tomica with more detailing and features as compared to the regular Tomica came to an end when Takara Tomy decided to manufacture the Premium Line of Tomica which features completely new casting.

The series made its first appearance at the opening of the Tokyo Auto Salon 2015 in January. Unlike Tomica Limited, Premium Tomica do not have rubber wheels.

To much fanfare, the first series of Premium Tomica (6 of them) was released for sales on 2015 April 2.

In 2015 October Tokyo Motor Show, two special edition Premium sets were released and each visitor was allowed to purchase 2 sets only.
