Today's #diecst is the Tooned Lamborghini Countach (2004 First Editions). I'm not normally one for Italian high performance cars, but this one is pretty cool. I especially like how the side windows lead into the air scoops.

Early Father's Day surprise and taken to a Toy Expo. Great fun and a huge nostalgia blast. So many toys that I hadn't thought about in decades until seeing them again.

Some of it made me tear up a bit. Toys have such a hold on me, even to this day with my hobbies.

Of course, I bought some #diecst
