marknewton Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Yes, that's true. And I'm sure it will be a very nicely detailed and finished model with a good mechanism. I have a small fleet of the Tomix Meitetsu and Kotoden electric cars, and they tick all the boxes! 👍 Cheers, Mark. 1 Link to comment
Kamome Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Those small electric cars look very nice. I’m slightly interested by the 6 car Suro 81 Ozashiki. I believe Tomix made this many years ago product number HO-001. Not sure if i will order as it’s quite a special train but at least it’s a full consist. Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Oh wowzers... After looking at all the Released photos of the new Revalty by Tomix and the video of the actual model itself with the conneting parts of the cab cars... i can say... resistance is growing weak...... X_X 3 Link to comment
disturbman Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) Paint seems very grainy, it must be pearlescent. I wonder how it looks irl. Edited August 27, 2021 by disturbman Link to comment

The paint is always something very difficult on such a small scale as pearlescent 'effect' is very hard to reproduce. I got the Saphir Odoriko and what Kato succeed in doing is simply a miracle. I'm waiting for receiving my Tobu 500 to make a comparison. To follow ... Edited August 31, 2021 by JR East mistyping correction 1 Link to comment

shiniji Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Noooooo, so many Trains i need T_T ..... -Serie 215 -Shinkansen 300 (i Love this Series) -ED76 + serie 50 Coaches -DD51 + OHA 61 (-Building Collection) -Red Express Oh men, this not Fair 😱 1 Link to comment
Kamome Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Wow Tomix, that’s how to do some announcements. That Kirishima and Red Express would be great as would the 215 which is so ugly, but so appealing and another chance for a 300, possibly feel I should have a rail star too. Even the Hokkaido stuff is a welcome addition. That’s an impressive list. 1 Link to comment

jappomania Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 300 with 3 panto faster than expected...(I hope only not the same month of Microace, depend of MA delay) On 4/5/2021 at 12:13 PM, jappomania said: an expensive "downgrade" 🤑 , old panto and shield but with the third already removed.... 4-5 years (or less) and the family will be completed, miss the original version with 3 panto (J0 is another thing..), maybe Tomix can do it faster (and cheap), at 99% all the molds are already done another couple of "books" for my library 🥵 ciao! Massimo bad and good news for me, finding more storage space for another couple of books, but surely, soon a lot of old sets on sale for kitbashing 😍 Ciao! Massimo maybe 3 Railstar's are enough for me....the number 4 is not necessary Link to comment
Kiha66 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) Wow! I certainly was not expecting that 215. Thank goodness micro ace canceled theirs, this will be a much nicer set. Edited September 9, 2021 by Kiha66 Link to comment
Kiha66 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Tomix will also be re-running their HO 115 series in Yokosuka colors. https://www.tomytec.co.jp/tomix/products/img/20210909-11.pdf 1 Link to comment
James-SNMB Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Wow, Railstar and 300 series at the same time! I told myself I would wait around patiently for key re-releases before starting my Shinkansen collection, expecting that to spread out the cost over several years. Nope. Ok, I'm ready to dive in! I definitely do not have a big enough yard on my layout for what's about to happen... 1 Link to comment
James-SNMB Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Hang on, I need some pre-order advice from the experts here: Normally I would pre-order from HobbySearch, but the 300 series come out in February and the RailStar comes out in March. I'd rather not pay DHL shipping twice, but I know HobbySearch doesn't combine releases from different months. What's the best alternative? Would RG-Rokko facilitate this type of pre-order and combined shipment? (There's other stuff I would like from them anyway, so that would be very cool). Or is there another one of the Suppliers that would be better suited? Link to comment

Most retailers dont allow pre-orders of different months to be shipped together, but then again the pre-order release month is just an indicative date, it might delay or be brought forward, no one knows for certain until it is much closer to the date 1 1 Link to comment

I appreciate the insight. It's good to have a gauge of how reasonable the request is before I engage them. I'll send them an email, but I'll keep my expectations in check. Very good point about the variability of release dates. Kato and Tomix certainly seem to be pretty much dead on in their forecasts compared to the US manufacturers I've preordered from, but these times are different and disruptions would be reasonable to expect.

jappomania Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 the 1st class quality of service of Modeltrainplus - Nariichi Takayama is hard to find, price is really good and he offer the best support for personal shopping, combined shipping etc.. (maybe 100-200 JPY more, but normally less than the rest of the world, excluding bargain sale or similar, Nariichi prices are cheapest) I'm sure that Rokko can do the same, till now I bought from them a couple of "sold out" items and prices and service was perfect in the last 5 years I've not found better (and sincerly I've not searched, Nariichi is a friend now so I don't need more, I buy from the rest of the world only items that Nariichi can't find or can cause much troubles than gains like books, magazines etc...) and.. be aware, Shinkansen collection can begon really expensive.... ciao!

Kiha66 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Small release this month, probably the usual post new year catchup from models delayed in last year. Link to comment
Kamome Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) Might be worth checking the re-run section of their website as well as sometimes reproductions don’t get listed on the posters unless there’s been a sizeable gap in release dates or they’ve made design changes. I’d like to see them do an ED76 500 in HO. Edited October 15, 2021 by Kamome Link to comment
disturbman Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Maybe it's the price you have to pay when your announcements do not cover a single month anymore, but two or three. Link to comment
