1/500 sega tokyo tower

[cteno4]

If you have never seen the sega 1/500 tokyo tower model its quite fun. these have been oop for a couple of years now and gotten more and more expensive when you can find them. it has nice LED lighting and a few different multicolored lighting cycles it can do. quite fun to just turn out and watch! perfect for T scale or you can do a forced perspective with it! ive always wanted to build a full 1/150 scale model, but that would end up a bit over 7' tall!

 

theres one on ebay used right now starting at $69 if anyone is interested

Nice.. I've got a Tokyo Tower. Except it's made by a company that I've never heard of and is lit by Christmas lights hahaha.

the price on these has been spiraling up. i guess they are getting rarer in japan. also the crystal one comes up now and then thats all clear struts
