¥53,000 MSRP—that's a lot of dough. Just what is coming in this set to make it so expensive? Even the recently announced "Sayonara Naha/Akatsukit", which comes with three different locomotives and 11 24-25-series passenger cars doesn't cost this much (only ¥50,400).

Also, this is being re-released in July, about time, I've been wanting one for years but couldn't get it other than HO.

I'll preorder 6 of them right now. Guess, I just blew my robotocs budget for the year.

It looks like this is four locomotives and 14 cars.  I presume this allows you to run any number of blue trains.

Ouch.   :o  The shipping charge would be a killer with all that weight.

Definitely four locomotives.   :D  That makes the price somewhat reasonable.    :D
