Miggy used to collect Tamiya toys. He was only 4 years old when he was gifted with one. Of course, I was forced to build it. The motor did not work, so he fixed it by himself. That was when we realized he's a gifted child (he also built a fan we couldn't figure out how to put together).
When I saw how Miggy enjoyed building Tamiya cars, I'd always buy him one whenever I can. His Papa Lolo eventually bought a huge track for him. They enjoyed building it and letting the cars run in the track. Unfortunately, I don't think any of Miggy's Tamiya sets survived typhoon Ondoy.
Last week, we noticed the Tamiya Dyipne on display at a store in Glorietta. We were surprised to see it. Not really sure when it came out, but it's interesting to see a version of the Philippine jeepney as a Tamiya toy. Upon research a set is about PhP750 or if you're crazy there's one on eBay at $199. We didn't buy, but I like the blue one better :)
