Aren't they excellent.... you got them all correct bar the RX7, which is an SA22.
I love the Sunny ute with the little trailer, and the Mooneyes one, and the C10 van, and the B110 Sunny coupe racecar.... aarrrgh, time for a YAJ fix!

Ahh yes I've bought Konami 1:64 stuff directly off ToyEast, they're a teensy bit expensive for soem things, but I have had packages delivered here ex-Hong Kong within a week!
Very good to deal with btw, and I even got a free Honda NSX model when I bought an RX3 coupe one!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choro-Q god bless the wiki-wiki-pedia edit: quote about other spin offs of choro q: "CQ Motors: The most ambitious brand extension of all, this wholly owned subsidiary of Takara, founded in 2002, manufactured and sold actual single-passenger, electric automobiles modelled after the toy cars. The cars are street-legal (though not permitted on highways), require a standard driver's license for operation and have a top speed of about 50km/hr and a range of about 80km on a single charge. Several models were sold, priced in the 1-1.5 million yen range. Although sales have been discontinued, as many as 500 were sold in all. In a country known for the prowess of its automobile industry it is remarkeable that at one point, Takara, a toy company, had the highest share of electric cars on the road in Japan."

I picked a few up while I was out there, I've still got some some Yen in the back too (penny-racer stylie!). They're in stock in most places you'd expect - I got mine in an airport shop, but I saw them in a department store in central Tokyo and in a supermarket in the suburbs. You'll find a mix of modern and classics in the range - and there'll always be an AE86!
