Hi everyone.
I picked up a surprisingly good 1/43 Honda model at a Thrift Shop yesterday.
This is the Honda Dealer, TSM Model 2016 Honda Civic that won North American Car of The Year in 2016. It is mint boxed and cost me about $6 US. EBay currently has it for sale asking $100 plus. Here it is, photographed through the unopened package.
I'm leaving it sealed for the time being.

It pays to keep your eyes open. My wife goes thrifting. whenever I go with her, I cruise through the toy section looking for something like this, David.

David, thanks for sharing. This version of the Civic was sold from 2016 through 2021. We have owned several Civics. My wife had a 2018 Civic 4 door like the one in your picture, except it was silver. Now she has a 2022 Civic. I have a 2017 Civic coupe. I hope I see one of these models for sale some day.

David, it’s always a great find when it’s a contemporary car commonly found on the streets. And a TSM at that price—wow!

I have this 1/43rd of my Fit, and a yellow 1/64 Honda gifted those of us who had under 5,000 on their VIN. Love my car and my models.
