Bernard Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 CaptO had a great idea of starting a thread about rare or hard to fine train sets that members are interested it. This was all prompted by ChrisV search for the 300 Shinkansen series he finally found. Alright, here is the train I've been looking for the Nankai set it's made by MicroAce: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10037236 Link to comment

Bernard Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 Thanks for the ebay link, that is the first time I've seen it for sale. But the 289.00 USD price tag is beyond my limit. (And the seller is from Beijing and I was working there this summer :'() Link to comment
to2leo Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 @Bernard The wooden box version was selling at around $200 US back in 2005 when I was in Osaka. Just learning from my own eBay experience, you should ignore the opportunity. ;) Link to comment
