Samurai_Chris Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Looking at getting it myself, and am interested in knowing more about the sets.. Even here in Japan, the full 8 piece set is sold out in many places. So will have to go with the 3 and 5 piece sets.. Chris Link to comment
Martijn Meerts Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 The 8 piece set is a limited edition with different road number from the other set (they did the same with the 800 series), so I guess that's a reason it sold out fast. I have the 8 piece set on pre-order from HS myself. Link to comment
clem24 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Wait so this has already been released?? Or are pre-orders sold out? I have a feeling more will become available when it's released. I'd also try emailing Mr. Plaza Japan about reserving one through him. Bad news if it's been released b/c I just got a ton of trains in the mail yesterday and the wife is suspicious! Link to comment
Martijn Meerts Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 According to HS, it'll be released in March, but pre-orders there are already sold out. The regular 3+5 sets will probably be fairly easy to find after they're release, but the limited edition 8-car set is probably going to be instantly sold out. Link to comment
clem24 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Tenshodo is taking pre-orders on Rakuten: http://en.item.rakuten.com/tenshodo/35192981/ Link to comment
Samurai_Chris Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Just ordered mine today at my local hobby store.. Cant wait, as my daughter's name is "Sakura" さくら Chris Link to comment
Samurai_Chris Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 And I can't wait! It will compliment the JR Kyushu 800 Tsubame nicely. Chris Link to comment
keitaro Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Lucky you I look forward to pictures Link to comment
clem24 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 AHHHH CRAP it's out already? How do I hide this on my CC... I wonder if there's any delays with shipping and such. Mine's on pre-order at HS. Link to comment
Samurai_Chris Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 Yep, I just snuck out of work to go pick her up at my local store. Must say its a beautiful looking set! Pics to come when I get home... Chris Link to comment
Samurai_Chris Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 As I stated in the other thread. I just picked up my limited edition set today... Link to comment
Tecchan Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Maybe it's not worth opening multiple topics for each purchase on the forum, I'm afraid it will explode soon if everyone does the same! :D Link to comment
disturbman Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Agree. I don't see the point of multiplying subjects like that. It's a bit pointless and also not very nice of you to try to make other forumers jealous. Please, post some pictures and maybe a short review. :) Topics have been merged and renamed. Link to comment
Martijn Meerts Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Saying you got a new train is hardly trying to make other people jealous.. If it is, we might as well delete the entire "What did you order" thread as well as all the roster threads etc. Might as well delete all personal projects threads, lots of reason for jealousy in those On topic, I got a notice from HS that my limited edition N700-8000 has arrived, but it's in the same order as the regular N700-8000 (yes, I ordered both sets) and the E5, neither of which have been released yet.

disturbman Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Martijn, that was a joke. :) Link to comment
Martijn Meerts Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I know, hence the big, grinning smiley in my post ;) Link to comment
Samurai_Chris Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 Well it seems that some threads have been merged.. With the slow flow of traffic on this site, I didn't think that I had done anything wrong. Anyways, please forgive my ignorance... Batteries are flat, will take pics in the morning... Sorry for making anyone feel jealous... ps: mine also the limited edition 8 piece set... Chris Link to comment
disturbman Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Ne, that should be ok. I used glue and tappe to hold the fabric of our universe together. And I found some pictures of the set for the time being: http://popondetta.com/blog/cat1/n700.html This blue color doesn't make the train very visible on a whitish background. It will stand out better on a finished layout. I also wouldn't mind seing some videos of it. Link to comment

One more reason for me to go back to Fukuoka!!! Link to comment
disturbman Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Nobody should need a reason to go to Fukuoka, it's a great city and Kyushu is pretty cool too. Link to comment
Tecchan Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Nobody should need a reason to go to Fukuoka, it's a great city and Kyushu is pretty cool too. I said, one more reason! ;-) Now I just dream of a ride in the new N700, a tour in Popondetta and ramen along the river... Link to comment

clem24 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Nice... I should be receiving mine in a week or so. Why is the middle window in car #6 spaced so oddly? Link to comment
