As a side note for the Yuros of the forum, the VT18/BR175 are under an export ban to Europe. The sets will be sold as Lemke exclusive and can only be gotten locally.

 

Looking at it on Amazon JP now with a delivery address in Japan, there is only one seller listed for the complete 6 car set and they're selling at an inflated price inside Japan.  120,000 yen.  (DB AG)

We'll see once it is released what happens to it inside Japan.

I picked up both the E655 5-car set and the Emperor's car maybe more than 10 years back.

 

It seems both will be available again. The 5-car set has a new Kato item number, 10-1991. The Emperor's car is the same item number that I have, 4935-1.

I've ordered them at RGR as it was one one of my must have I was chasing and second hand prices were ridiculously high.
