a very unusual find in a kiwi thrift shop

we went around the local thrift shops today for the first time in around 6 weeks, and it paid off. while crouching down to look at something else, this caught my eye. not bad for $15NZD!! just missing the 3 palm trees.

the bus is motorized and works well.

while i am technically meant to be looking at getting out of the game, and shouldnt have bought this, the tomy addict in me could not say no.

i am having trouble finding it to be able to place a value on it, but i am betting its more than what i paid. if anyone finds the palm trees on jauce, please flick me the link. would like to complete it.

Just WOW!!! So nice.

A Disney Resort exclusive of course, it also comes in a box with purely Japanese writing on the front, but the version you have seems to be more readily available



This is the text to search for either version:

モータートミカ ディズニー リゾートクルーザー プレイセット

(Motor Tomica Disney Resort Cruiser Playset)

Not quite the same palm trees that came in some of the early Taiwan limited sets. I wonder how many other sets had them in?



Both sorts seem to be available on auction sites, though the ones you need are rarer than the green-based ones.



A specific search for Plarail palm trees would be:

プラレール ヤシの木

Wow...what a great find and for only 15NZD...wow 😃
