JR 500系 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Interesting releases... I think some are re-releases instead? But ouch on the prices... Did MA just bump up their prices or something? Link to comment
katoftw Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 New more expensive factory or raising capital. I'm doubtful we'll ever know the real story. Link to comment
Guest keio6000 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Prices are nonsensical. MA's prices were already the highest; now they are truly nonsensical. Happy I bought my 10-000 for less than half of this less than two years ago and even then I thought it expensive. CORRECTION TO ABOVE: I meant 10-300. I bought 10-300 when it came out. 10-000 is a new mould. Edited June 19, 2015 by keio6000 Link to comment
cteno4 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Looks like the Peach Rapit has shipped! PlazaJapan has it up on their ebay listings now as shipping! jeff Link to comment
Hokutosei Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 The Rapit is out? Damn, now I have to make a decision.... peach one or blue one.... argh! I'll better make the decision tomorrow, too late for this ;) Link to comment
EF65 1100 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Mm... 419 series... Must resist... 1 Link to comment
Hokutosei Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Both?! Jeff Hahahahaha would love to, but my gf will have my head on a spike by dawn... Link to comment
Davo Dentetsu Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hahahahaha would love to, but my gf will have my head on a spike by dawn... Yeah, that would be bad luck to kill Hokutosei twice in one year! :D Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) How about a picture for 'more poisoning?" But frankly, i'm still not moved by those hideous prices... Edited June 19, 2015 by JR 500系 Link to comment
Hokutosei Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Woah, those are surely pricey.... They want to become european maybe?? Link to comment
Guest keio6000 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 darn it! I was so busy being annoyed by the price that I didn't notice the huge news that there will be an actual 10-000 release. This is the first 10-000 release since the Endou set (which I have one). I think my endou set just plummeted in value (they go on yahoo for about JPY 10000 per wagon). 10-000 is an absolute and total must have for the keio collector (that is, me). very happy. but the price, but for just this, i probably will swallow my pride and get it.

miyakoji Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Mm... 419 series... Must resist... You have unique taste in rolling stock... Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 10-000 is an absolute and total must have for the keio collector (that is, me). very happy. but the price, but for just this, i probably will swallow my pride and get it. Interesting... Sorry but I don't understand the connection between Keio and the 10-000 series. Were they previously used by Keio before being transferred to Toei? I do kinda like the look on the 10-300 but ouch on the price and yah it's a pass for me. I think if it's something you'll love so much better to get them when they are available better than to regret later. I do have so much regrets in me now like in the case of the East-I inspection train... That Kiha-8500 is interesting though. And at a much 'swallowable' price. Yeh wow, guess what new news turned up via HS just: *Extract from email: Thank you for shopping with Hobby Search. Regarding order number: 15-0430-0033 The pre-order item listed below Hybrid Diesel Car HB-E300 Resort Shirakami (4-Car Set) (Model Train) ( http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10189781 ) Was originally scheduled for release on After Jul, but has been rescheduled for release on After Sep. Haha ~~ It's cool, I can wait ~ Link to comment

Keio and Toei have through running on the Toei Shinjuku line. You see 10-XXX's a lot on the Keio lines as well. IMHO they look pretty nice. Especially the early versions with corrugated steel front cars. Link to comment

I research more and find the Kiha-8500 massy attractive... It even connects to the Kiha-85! Thinking of getting this one... Link to comment
EF65 1100 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 You have unique taste in rolling stock... The 419 has so much history to it... It's so odd that it is unique. :love10: Link to comment

IMHO they look pretty nice. Especially the early versions with corrugated steel front cars. The 10-000 is a major sight on Keio because of the aforementioned through-running. But as happy as I am to have this properly in n scale (the endou sets have a wonderful look as they are made of metal, but don't otherwise meet modern n-gauge standards), i can't help but think that this is absolutely bizarre and that MA must be full of crap when it come to the Keio 8000 (which it cancelled). The 10-300 and 10-000 are different trains. MA had released the 10-300 a few years ago. It's a nice set and I'm glad I bought it then given the price increases. also, the 10-000 participates in toei's novel rail-road intermodal scheme. Edited June 19, 2015 by keio6000 1 Link to comment
katoftw Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) On a more positive note. MA seem to be getting onto the long list of "To be released" list. It was into the high 60s at one stage back a few months. Edited June 19, 2015 by katoftw Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 On a more positive note. MA seem to be getting onto the long list of "To be released" list. It was into the high 60s at one stage back a few months. Yeh kinda shock to see the Rapit released on schedule... Or maybe because it is highly popular? And amazingly there is still stock around for the Rapit after satisfying pre-orders. Usually MA models are out-of-stock once they're released... Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Another one on schedule! (I think initial release date is May, so this is only 1 month late) Interesting these are churning out on time, maybe due to popularity? http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10305245 Link to comment
