Aoshima 2016?

[BVC500]

Aoshima posted this photo on FB, but they haven't lifted the curtain yet and I haven't heard anyone speak to their releases at the show. Also, what does the placard "Exclusive for existing clients" mean?

Some of us know, but your knowledge would be limited by the rapid interment of your body in a shallow grave. O.K. perhaps not, but I doubt any of us are going to burn our bridge of knowledge and talk before Aoshima is ready to go public.

Basically they're showing off their stuff to distributors only until the Toy Fair opens to the "General Public" - as technically it's never open to the public per se.

Brilliant!

We could tell each other what's behind the lace

But in all seriousness,  James is correct, there will be no bridge burning that leads to Aoshima , so we are just gonna have to wait.

But in all seriousness x 2,  while knowing what they have planned doesnst mean they told me a time table and the way things work, what I was told could of changed or who knows what could of happened in the 6 months now that have passed, so it really is just best to stay quiet for the mean time.

But the lace black curtain is in the upper left of their display cabinet, which isn't in frame of the last photo of their display.

[Junkman]

That is correct. The curtain is never lifted for normal mortals.
A rather strange business practice.

The only other pics published are these:

I am wondering if the Diablo is behind the Curtain.

[buildnething]

Thats certainly what it looks like to me Mike! Good Eye! Pagani Huyara! 

[gasman]

I think your right, first kit of a Pagani. Also notice the Japan only race ready GT86 

[Gt fan]

The pagani looks like the resin kit from eighty one . 

[aurfalien]

Wow, Aoshima is cool.

I have there high induction high grade Ferrari F189 car, man what a beauty.

If that is indeed a Pagani, well I'ma B gettin 1!

Dayam!

[ferrarijoe]

The pagani looks like the resin kit from eighty one . 

the factory 81 is a Zonda R. That looks like a Huayra in the background. I tried to pull it up on the 81 site ,but it's not on there anymore. I hope Aoshima does the Huayra lot cheaper than having to get Autoart ($300 +) or BBR ($500+).

[aurfalien]

If it's this, then yea, it's on like Donky Kong!

Just as an FYI, without saying to much,  a race ready version of the GT86 is not planned, well, that was not one of the up coming version's I was told about, but of course, that doesnt mean anything.

Any more updates on Aoshima?  Hoping we get some juicy tidbits now that the toy fair is over..

I got all the tidbits you could handle, but as of yet they're not choosing to disclose any of it publicly.  I can say that there are 3 new tool Supercars in the works. One you know about if you paid attention last year,  one you know about because someone WASN'T paying attention to the background of a photo they were uploading to FB. The last one is a no brainer if you know their licensing that will probably be announced officially before the Shizouka show in May.  There are other modified tooling kits to come as well.

Right now priority is focused on getting the Sesto Elemento into production along with the Sambar Fire Truck, and R32 GT-R and RX-7 (Initial D Series) done before anything new is disclosed. 

[aurfalien]

Cool deal, thanks James.

[Matt Bacon]

So that's the Huracan, Huayra, and something from McLaren? Maybe a 675LT or a a P1?

bestest,

M.

[Mike Chernecki]

The Diablo GT announced last year, hope we finally get a Huracan. But they could get more life out of the Aventador and release an Aventador J

[aurfalien]

Oooooo juicy!

Stoked on Aoshima.

[Edsel-Dan]

I am curious about the Locomotive in the 1 pic. And the Van underneath it.

The train is a 1/45 item -  http://hlj.com/product/AOS01000/Rld

The van is a Toyota HiAce of which Aoshima makes more than a dozen variants ranging from bone factory stock to wild VIP designs. Curbside, they run $23-28 depending on the version from HLJ.

So that's the Huracan, Huayra, and something from McLaren? Maybe a 675LT or a a P1?

Negative Ghost Rider we have no McLarens on the radar at this time. Or well, not within the 3 new tools I'm talking about.

From what I have seen and read I'm guessing a Lamborghini Diablo and Huracan and the Pagani Huayra.
