 Oh, the joys of not-knowing what surprise the Tomica Random Box holds! What secrets are unveiled from within these little boxes. It is unnecessary for a person of my age to get all giddy inside when these random boxes appear in local toy stores. Nevertheless, I become one giddy young-adult.

Issue #2 has been posted to Manila Burnout! Watch the Celica XX take on a Hyundai Genesis Coupe.

Subaru's 2011 WRX STI Impreza is one mean machine. Twin turbo, 1994 cc, producing over 304hp STOCK. Here's its mini version, the Tomica Subaru WRX STI 4-door sedan, scaled at 1:64 with chassis number 7.

Hybrid cars are coming out amazing as time flies. Everyone has seen Toyota's Prius, and I'm sure everyone has heard that Nissan's Leaf can power a whole loft. But here, we have the Honda CR-Z.

The Toyota Celica XX 2800GT was the most powerful in it's range; featuring a 2.8L twin-cam engine producing an astonishing 170hp. It was a 5-speed manual, dividing the speed to the drivers feel of the vehicle. The Toyota Celica XX was produced between 1981 to 1985. It's chassis code was MA61.

The Tomica die-cast model's chassis code on the other hand is 0131.

The Asian version of the Civic Type R was the FD2, which was a 4-door sedan. The European version of the Type R's chassis was the FN2, a 3-hatchback.
