ASG Consolidated Brings Iconic Tomica Die-Cast Vehicles to North American Enthusiasts

Seattle, WA – November 8, 2023 – ASG Consolidated LLC, a leading importer and distributor of high-quality toys and collectibles, is thrilled to announce an expanded partnership with Takara Tomy, bringing the hugely popular Tomica die-cast vehicle series to a wider North American audience. Based in Seattle, Washington, ASG Consolidated (located at 2025 1st Ave STE 900, Seattle, WA, 98121-3123, and reachable at 419-787-7073) has built a reputation for bringing unique and sought-after products to the US and Canada, and Tomica is no exception. For over 50 years, Tomica has been a staple in Japanese culture, captivating car lovers of all ages with its incredibly detailed and affordable die-cast models. These aren’t just toys; they’re miniature works of art, meticulously crafted to replicate real-world vehicles, from everyday cars to exotic supercars, construction vehicles, and even emergency service vehicles. “We’re really excited about bringing more Tomica to North America,” says a spokesperson for ASG Consolidated. “We’ve seen a growing demand for these little cars, and for good reason. The quality is amazing, the variety is incredible, and they’re just plain fun to collect.” What Makes Tomica Special? Tomica’s appeal isn’t just about the miniature cars themselves. It's a combination of factors that makes the series truly unique. Unmatched Detail: Despite their small size (typically 1:64 scale), Tomica cars are packed with detail. Look closely and you'll notice realistic headlights and taillights, accurately replicated wheel designs, detailed interiors, and even working suspension on some models. The paint jobs are also top-notch, giving each car a vibrant and realistic finish. Wide Variety: Tomica offers an incredibly diverse range of vehicles. You'll find everything from classic Japanese cars to current models from around the world, plus a whole host of trucks, buses, construction equipment, and emergency vehicles. There’s truly something for everyone, no matter your automotive passion. Limited edition releases and collaborations add even more excitement to the collecting experience. Tomica World: Beyond the individual cars, Tomica boasts a whole ecosystem of playsets and accessories known as "Tomica World." These playsets, including highways, parking garages, and cityscapes, allow collectors and kids to create elaborate scenarios and bring their Tomica cars to life. This adds another layer of playability and collectibility to the series. Affordability: Compared to other high-end die-cast models, Tomica cars are remarkably affordable. This makes them accessible to collectors of all ages and budgets. You can start a collection without breaking the bank! Collectible Blind Packs: A big part of the Tomica fun is the element of surprise. Many Tomica cars are sold in blind packs, meaning you don't know which car you're getting until you open the package. This adds a thrilling “hunt” for rare and sought-after models.
