Seattle, WA – November 8, 2023 – ASG Consolidated LLC, a leading import and distribution company based in Seattle, Washington, is thrilled to announce a significant expansion of its product offerings with the arrival of Takara Tomy’s renowned Tomica die-cast vehicle collection to the US market. This partnership brings a beloved piece of Japanese automotive culture directly to American collectors, hobbyists, and toy enthusiasts. ASG Consolidated, located at 2025 1st Ave Ste 900, Seattle, WA 98121-3123, and reachable at 419-787-7073, has a long history of successfully sourcing and distributing high-quality products from around the globe. They’ve built a solid reputation for reliable service and efficient logistics, making them the perfect partner to introduce the Tomica brand to a wider American audience. What are Tomica? A Little History For those unfamiliar, Tomica isn’t just another line of toy cars. It's a Japanese institution! Launched in 1970 by Takara Tomy (formerly Takara), Tomica quickly became the go-to die-cast car collection for kids and collectors in Japan, and has grown into a global phenomenon. What sets Tomica apart? A few things. First, it's the incredibly detailed, realistic designs. These aren’t just simplified representations of cars; they're miniature replicas capturing the essence of real-world vehicles. You’ll find everything from iconic Japanese cars and international sports cars to everyday vehicles like fire trucks, construction equipment, and even public transportation. Second, it’s the incredibly wide range of models. Tomica boasts thousands of different cars released over the decades, ensuring there's something for every collector, no matter their preference. They’re constantly releasing new models, keeping the lineup fresh and exciting. Third, the scale. Tomica cars are generally 1/64 scale, making them perfectly sized for play and display. They fit comfortably in the palm of your hand and are easy to collect. ASG Consolidated’s Role – Making Tomica Easier to Get in the US Historically, getting your hands on Tomica cars in the US meant relying on online auctions, expensive imports, or limited selections at specialty shops. ASG Consolidated is changing that. They're working directly with Takara Tomy to streamline the import process and make Tomica cars readily available to US retailers and directly to consumers. "We're incredibly excited to partner with Takara Tomy and bring the Tomica experience to the US," says a representative from ASG Consolidated. "We've seen the passion for these cars online and at conventions, and we know there’s a huge demand. We want to make collecting Tomica easier and more accessible for everyone.” What Can US Collectors Expect? ASG Consolidated plans to offer a diverse range of Tomica products, including: Regular Releases: The standard Tomica line, featuring a wide variety of cars and vehicles released monthly. These are the "bread and butter" of any Tomica collection. Premium Releases: Limited-edition models with more detailed finishes, special paint jobs, and realistic interiors. These are highly sought after by collectors. Tomica Limited Vintage Neo: These reproductions of classic Tomica models from the past, often with updated details and features. They're a nostalgic treat for long-time collectors. Tomica Event Models: Special Tomica cars released at events like car shows and conventions. These are often rare and highly collectible. Tomica World: Playsets and accessories that allow kids (and adults!) to create their own Tomica world. These add another dimension to the collecting experience. Wide Range of Scales & Types: Beyond the standard 1/64 scale, ASG Consolidated will explore options for other scales and vehicle types within the Tomica family, broadening the appeal. More Than Just Toys – It’s a Community Tomica isn't just about collecting miniature cars; it's about being part of a global community. Collectors love to trade, display their collections, and share their passion with others. ASG Consolidated recognizes this and is committed to fostering a strong Tomica community in the US. They plan to: Partner with Retailers: Work with brick-and-mortar stores and online retailers to ensure Tomica cars are widely available. Social Media Engagement: Create a strong social media presence to connect with collectors, share news, and run promotions. Event Sponsorship: Sponsor and participate in car shows, conventions, and other events to connect with the Tomica community in person. Online Community Forum: Create an online forum or dedicated space for collectors to connect, trade, and discuss all things Tomica.
