Choro Q
(Takara)

  

Choro Q is another main stream of products in Takara. This series of vehicles is having a "cute" design, like the SD(Super Deformed) gundams. All of them have a mechanism of "pull back and let go" design. There are over 10000 designs and each have their own characteristic. Their designs including cars, trucks, trains, bus, military tanks, jumbo jet..................etc. There are a lot of limited editions of this series. No one seems to be able to collect them all. Recently, all the production were moving to Taiwan and China, so the old Japan made products are very rare today. Some of the Japanese companies also like to use them for promotion of their own company image.

Each vehicle will have their series no. model no. year of manufacture and place of manufacture marked at the bottom. The only difference is, in the past, its marked in the molds while now, they are marked as printing only.

No. A-13 Rolls Royce

Country of origin: Japan

Buying Price: USD 150.00 for C8 sealed conditions

Rolls Royce is one of the favourite that peoples are looking for. Its very rare to get an unbroken good condition one today. Why?

1) The fairy in front of the car is easily broken
2) The front silver-plated part is easily oxidized

I myself also get in love with this Rolls Royce after I saw it last year. I will keep on collecting this one if I can find more. In the front plate, actually you can see the word "RR" there.
