I think Tama is going to sell out really fast =)

welp..

 

Didn't take long for my pre-order.  I showed this to RapitBunny who responded by saying "I want it!"  I made the mistake of closing the HobbySearch window without immediately placing an order.  I was informed it needed to be placed "right now".  So my.. er.. her.. pre-order is in for Tama & Ichigo..

And yet none of the third trainset, the toy train.

Ok since Bill found that my jns avatar came up in a google search for tomytec i think that tomy now is tracing me in jns (yes i also have a good theory on jfk as well!). what only a couple of weeks ago i was talking about how to kitbash the tama train and tram. now just have to get them to do the tram as well or maybe modemo will pick that one up next week!

 

reserve is in here!

I just pre-ordered today. For the kid, of course. He likes cats. And trains. Yeah.

New layoffs coming to work, can't order them now.

[Eliphaz]

so, I "reserved" one at HS,

now what is the probability that it will be oversubscribed?

I never heard of that happening and it has never happened to me in over four years.  HS has an allotment and at some point the reservation status will change to 'Reservation Closed' with a 'Waiting list mail' button will appear immediately below which allows you to be immediately emailed when the item becomes available again (but getting that email is not a guarantee of getting the item-- you may have to move very fast on some items).

I see the reservation did fill up.

Time to start watching for the notice!

goodie, maybe something to meet me when i get back from vacation!!!

 

hey i was able to track down a scan of the tama illustrations so i can make the tama portram! i picked up a few of the orange/white ones when they were on sale at HS a while back. figure it will be a nice little fantasy tram to do!

 

cheers
