The annual Tokyo Auto Salon held in Japan attracts not just thousands of car enthusiasts but also a large number of Tomica and diecast collectors as well.
Overall I must thank my friend who help me and a few others secure a set after hours of queuing to make this review possible and into my collection.

Of course Tomica has a booth every year with a snake queue of buyers way before its open to lay their hands on the Tokyo Auto Salon (TAS) exclusives.
Unlike the Tokyo Motor Show the TAS series always have the hottest car. This year line up include:
• TAS Honda Civic Type-R
• TAS AE86
• TAS Mercedes AMG GT-R
• Lexus 10th Anniversary Lexus RC F
These TAS set is strictly limited to 3 sets per visitor so if you want another 3 sets you will have to rejoin the queue which you will practically spent half a day for the queue. Or you may opt to return the next day. I heard the set was sold out on the 2nd day.
As much as I appreciate these. These cars are actually just another mainline reissue with special paint with the TAS logo slap on it. Nothing really extraordinary about it except it attracts many resellers who want to lay their hands on it for resale as the run is limited to just one run. The box design as always are top notch with TAS branding. Except the Lexus which is beautifully designed with carbon fibre texture print on the box flap just like Nismo editions.
