its got some great lighting, looks better than my 1/500 sega tokyo tower and nicer details, but that didnt costs $475!

 

im sure there is someone in japan thats going to make a 1/150 model of it by hand!

 

cheers

Jeff when I saw it and looked at the video I said this is different and would look great on a layout than I had the same reaction you did almost $500.00! WOW!

yeah but the new 1/5000 pro-hobby model doesnt look like it has the space in it to even fit a 1yen coin! the big bank one looks like you could sock away quite a bit in it with 100yen coins!

everyone has to have a sky tree now! tomytec has is offering at $245 at 1/2000 scale. of course tomytec has to out do everyone with more lights, 10 lighting programs, lighting that plays by the hour of the day, responds to sounds, has a remote control and has a little city scene below to boot!

does your new train room have a 4.25m ceiling? if not you will need to cut the hole in the ceiling and have it go up thru the attic. perhaps the top could be your tv antenna on the roof sticking out!

oh you lucky nuck, but you will have to have your layout on the floor as the tower itself is about 4.25m high! but you could fudge it at 1/200 scale! start collecting straws from restaurants to make the tower structure!

Wow, I came to this thread late, but am thinking like the rest of you...trying some way, some how to figure out how to get one of these. But yeah, the wrong scale and high price keep forcing me back to reality.

 

I wish we could some innovation in this area that is closer to N gauge!

Daban, 

 

ooh nice desk toy! does the light slowly change colors? i have to be careful of desk toys if not watched the slowly take over the workstation! but better them than paperwork...

Hi, yeah this is a great little model. The light is just purple and turns on and off giving a very nice effect, there is a blue version available also.

The little silver lines which represent the railway tracks going to the Sky Tree station look good, just need some micro dot sized trains now lol.

Usual high quality model which is always expected from items for sale in Japan.

nice. you need to make one of those tiny rubber band trains that folks make 1/2000-1/10000 moving models from so the trains run in and out of the station!
