Takara Tomy Tomica (トミカ)

This is an example of never buy Tomica at retail price or even pre-order.  Usually items on pre-order, you get a better discount but for Tomica, this is hardly the case.  They are sold at retail and then Amazon drops the price right after. In this case, it was Y2600 to Y2200 and then Y1616 currently.  So, best to wait for the Amazon price drop.

A perfect example is the Tomica 121 Scrum, one of the best vehicles on the long line to purchase.  If people were patient enough, they would not spend over Y1000 but many were selling it for Y1600 and now, it dropped to Y696.

And of course, the super popular Isuzu Elf's.  They sell out quickly, but best to be patient as they do get refillment of stock often on Amazon JP.  Best to remain patient as no one should pay too much on regular or premium Tomica's unless they are discontinued. Tomica Vintage or the Neo ones are expensive regardless.
