Tomix - New Releases

[JR 500系]

I prefer the Kansenjya version. I'm lucky I found it before the Plarail version hit pre-order.

 

I'm thinking there should be more than just difference in decal between the two. If not, wouldn't the two being so alike be released so closely?

 

Still need more information before I can decide. Both are pretty but I can only afford one....  :(

[katoftw]

Both would be 8 car sets. And the only difference would be the front/back car decals. Maybe one unit will be V2. and the other will be V8 etc. Other than that, they look 99.9% identical anyway in real life.

But yes more info would be good. I think it is just tentitive new release about future models. Just to prickle one's interest.

Now why didn't that show up when I searched for it. Thank you.

[katoftw]

I only got the email from them 2 hours ago.

I noticed that: http://www.tomytec.co.jp/tomix/products/n/92189.htm

It was on the Tomix last release poster, does anyone know when they are supposed to be released?

Near the bottom, it says January 2015.

That RailStar is a must-have.  The HobbySearch description mentions "coupler of current flow," which probably means that we can expect the much-loved power coupler system.

Loco1 has them too, for slightly cheaper cost: http://www.loco1hobby.net/en/shinkansen-bullet-train/710-tomix-92822.html

 

I think you might find them over at Nariichi san's MTP, it's not listed yet, but you can email them ~

 

This is really strange, since the Hikari Rail Star have been out of production for sometime now, and a sudden re-release. I hate this, cause I paid a bit of a premium when I ordered my Rail star (Tomix 92276/ 92277) through Yahoo Auctions since I really wanted a rail star, and now the newer one WITH power couplers comes up for pre-order. Hated my guts for diving into the older set at a premium for it now....   :cussing:

Marine Express Odoriko E259 - How does this differ from the regular NE'X E259?

 

That's what I wanted to know too. I think the only difference is the front logo?

 

Thing is, I want this too, since I lack a E259. Problem is, it is a starter set; means it comes with the tracks and controllers and all, and it doesn't (yet) to have an add-on to it. Or will it use the existing E259 add-on?

Wow Tomix / Tomytec is out to empty our wallets:

Hmm don't like this, now down to 8 figures from 12... Bases are super easy to do with a 4mm hole punch and some clear acetate and just glue them on. Carving off the bases is a bit tricky, one slip and there goes a foot!

Actually, I had noticed that but had discarded the info as "non relevant" since I could not find any pre-order anywhere (loco1, MTP, Ami Ami, HS).

HS pictures clearly show the power couplers.

Anyone see TOMX's W7 set. HS has pre-orders on it. Feb 2015 release.

Yes, but it is cheaper at Loco1Hobby: http://www.loco1hobby.net/en/shinkansen-bullet-train/714-tomix-92545.html?search_query=92545&results=1

[Mudkip Orange]

Yeah I really hope they don't discontinue the non-base HUMANs.

http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10287677

Yup.  I posted about it on the previous page.  I would love a W7, but have too many other trainset to buy to look at a W7 at the moment.  Since the E7 has been readily available since it's first release.  I'm feeling safe to risk it and not pre order it for now.

[westfalen]

Yeah I really hope they don't discontinue the non-base HUMANs.

Me too.  The ones in the picture look like they are standing on a two foot thick circle of concrete.  Model figures with molded on bases belong back in the days of Hornby or Lionel tinplate train sets.

[cteno4]

Yeah if you want bases its so much easier to make them out of discs od clear acetate or colored card stock.
