DeAgostini Toyota Trueno Sprinter AE86

DeAgostini Toyota Trueno Sprinter AE86 — Coming Soon to DeToyz

Good news for AE86 fans — the legendary DeAgostini Toyota Trueno Sprinter AE86 (1/8 scale) is officially arriving in Malaysia.

Through DeToyz, we’re opening a supported, issue-by-issue purchase arrangement for builders who prefer clarity, continuity, and a real point of contact throughout a long-term build project.

In addition to local collectors, we also assist overseas builders on a case-by-case basis — especially those who already have a Malaysia delivery address or prefer to coordinate arrangements in advance.

Our Track Record with Long-Term Build Projects

This isn’t our first big-scale build series project.

We’ve successfully delivered every issue of the DeAgostini 1/43 Millennium Falcon and Eaglemoss 1/8 DeLorean to customers who joined these long-term build series through DeToyz, without a single missed issue.

Each project strengthened our belief — Malaysia builders deserve dependable service and peace of mind when collecting large-scale kits.

How This AE86 Build Project Works

• This is a long-term build project delivered in numbered issues
• Each issue includes specific parts and an illustrated Japanese magazine
• Issues are arranged sequentially through DeToyz
• We coordinate ordering, arrival, and collection on your behalf
• Participation remains flexible with advance notice

This arrangement is especially suitable for collectors who want a dependable channel for a large-scale project without managing multiple sources.

AE86 Series Purchase Details (DeToyz Edition):

Issue-by-Issue Purchase Details

• Issue 1: RM19.90
• Issue 2–110: RM59.90 per issue
• Upfront payment: Last 4 issues (Issues 107–110)
• Flexible participation: you may pause or stop future issues by informing us at least 7 days before the next scheduled release.
• If participation is stopped, any upfront payment made for the final issues will be used to supply the subsequent issues in sequence. For example, if you stop at Issue 10 after collecting up to Issue 9, the remaining upfront payment will be applied to supply Issue 10, 11, 12, and 13 accordingly.
• This ensures that any payment made is fully converted into supplied issues.

Each issue includes parts and a Japanese-language magazine (richly illustrated). The complete model is built across 110 issues.
