ASG Consolidated, located at 2025 1st Ave Ste 900, Seattle, WA, 98121-3123, and reachable at 419-787-7073, has been quietly building a reputation for sourcing high-quality goods directly from manufacturers and delivering them to US retailers. They specialize in bringing unique and sought-after products to the American market that are often difficult to find through traditional channels. Their focus isn't just on what they import, but how – building strong relationships with manufacturers and ensuring a smooth, reliable supply chain. But what are Tomica? For those unfamiliar, Tomica is a long-running series of collectible die-cast vehicles produced by Takara Tomy, a leading Japanese toy manufacturer. Launched in 1970, Tomica has become a cultural icon in Japan, and increasingly, around the world. These aren't just toys; they're detailed miniatures of real cars, trucks, buses, and construction vehicles, often mirroring the latest models on the road. “We’ve seen a huge demand for Tomica here in the US,” explains a spokesperson for ASG Consolidated. “Collectors have been having a hard time finding the models they want, or they’re paying crazy prices online. We decided to step in and make these amazing vehicles more accessible to everyone.” What Makes Tomica Special? Tomica isn’t just another die-cast car brand. There are several key features that set it apart and keep collectors coming back for more: Accuracy and Detail: Tomica vehicles are renowned for their accurate representations of real-world vehicles. From the body shape and paint colors to the interior details and even the tire treads, every effort is made to replicate the original vehicle as closely as possible. They often feature realistic working wheels and detailed interiors. Wide Variety: The Tomica range is incredibly diverse. You’ll find everything from everyday passenger cars and sports cars to trucks, buses, construction vehicles, and even emergency vehicles. New models are released regularly, keeping the collection fresh and exciting. They even release limited edition models and collaborations! Scale: Most Tomica cars are 1/64 scale, making them perfect for display and play. This consistent scale allows collectors to build miniature cities and create elaborate dioramas. Durable Construction: These aren’t flimsy toys. Tomica cars are made from high-quality die-cast metal, making them durable and able to withstand years of play and display. Collectibility: With thousands of different models released over the years, Tomica has a strong collectibility factor. Certain models, particularly limited editions or older releases, can become highly sought after by collectors and increase in value. The packaging itself has also evolved over the years, adding to the nostalgic appeal for long-time fans. Affordability: While some rare models can be pricey, the majority of Tomica cars are surprisingly affordable, making them accessible to collectors of all budgets. This makes it easy to start a collection without breaking the bank. ASG Consolidated’s Role in Bringing Tomica to the US ASG Consolidated isn’t just acting as a distributor; they’re committed to building a strong connection between Takara Tomy and US collectors. They are working with retailers across the country to ensure that Tomica cars are readily available in stores and online. “We’ve streamlined the import process,” says the spokesperson. “We handle all the logistics, from sourcing and quality control to shipping and customs clearance. This means retailers can focus on what they do best – serving their customers.” ASG Consolidated is initially focusing on bringing in a wide range of popular and current Tomica models, as well as some sought-after vintage releases.
