Another LEAF! (kinda)

So after about 3 weeks or so, we got a very cute Tomica die-cast model of the LEAF from a Japanese seller on eBay:


Pros: Matches the car very well, as you'd expect from Japanese attention-to-detail

Cons: Right-hand drive, and kinda expensive for a die-cast at nearly $20 after shipping (it's almost double the price of the current 2018 model! :P)

The kid loves it!
