Tomica / Tomy Links


The following links are divided into two sections.
The first section are links to sites that have either lots of information or lots of useful pictures. All these sites focus on Tomica/Tomy and have little, if any, on Pocket Cars. However, if you're into Japanese-made diecast, I think you'll like them.
The second section is a link to a search engine. Of all the search engines I've tried; I've found the one linked below to be the best.

 

 

Tomica / Tomy Links

Super Great Tomica
Lots of great Tomica information. I highly recommend this site for anyone interested in Tomica diecasts -- whether you're just starting out or have been collecting for any length of time. You'll also find links to other related Tomica and diecast sites. Give it a try!
Tomica Collection Database
Searchable site containing over 1,000 pictures of Tomica diecast. You can search by model/vehicle number, make, model, and other ways. Results are thumbnails with gridded information.
Two drawbacks. First, nearly all the pictures are of diecast available only in Japan or the Orient/Asia. Second (and as far as I can tell), the site hasn't been updated since Dec. 2000. Still, this site is a great picture reference.
Tomica Dream Motors
Part of Tomica's website with pictures and information on the current line of released diecast. Though there are great navigational graphics and sounds, most of the site is in Japanese.
Tomica Z Car Collection
Bill Amdall, one person who has really helped me out with data and pics, has his own site devoted to Tomica Z cars. If you've ever wanted to see all the variations (plus a few custom vehicles) that Tomica has done, you've got to visit his site!

 

 


Search Engine
Google
Weird name for a search engine, but, boy howdy, does it return the hits! Chances are that if you can't find it with Google, you're not going to find it anywhere.
One drawback -- it's a little difficult to 'find' some of the Freeservers 'sites' unless you type in rather specific parameters. Don't know if this is unique to Freeservers or to all of the same ilk.
