drt7uk Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) Hi folks - so the E8 Series Shinkansen (E8系)...what do you think the hold up is on Kato or Tomix releasing this? Licensing? The economy? Problems with the factories in China? Seems odd that they've not announced their intention to make this. It looks gorgeous and I'm really hoping they do. So far it seems the only model out there is a Tomica one. Edited January 1 by drt7uk Link to comment

drt7uk Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 (edited) The translation is: "E8 Series Yamagata Shinkansen "Tsubasa" Product planning underway for summer 2025! Product details will be announced when orders officially begin. Please refrain from contacting registered dealers nationwide, KATO Corporation, or KATO directly managed stores. JR East is applying for a commercialization license." So..summer 2025 release! Edited January 2 by drt7uk 2 Link to comment
