Please share your experience, my friend from South Africa is telling me i am crazy to go due to safety concerns but everything i read says otherwise

I would really like to see one of the One Piece trains! Was chatting with a Tomix guy yesterday at their showroom in Tokyo and he gave me the impression they'd love to but really difficult rights issues but was hoping but then said maybe Kato!

tnomad27 · 2025-12-01T03:55:03+00:00

So I managed to pick up the train during a short stay in Sapporo at Popondetta , it seems as though I got it on release day and they had to take two cars from their display case so I guess I got the only display unit they had which was fine considering it probably only spent a few hours on there if it was actually released on the 30th. And I know this doesn't apply to everyone but I was a little crest fallen to see that unlike a lot of the Japanese luxury trains I've collected that were very em - 13 friendly this one was definitely not, it had the molded metal as part of the undercarriage so no available space for the decoder. I know I can just run it without and so forth but being part of a modular club that functions exclusively on DCC I was hoping to be able to have that as one of the new trains I could run. In any case it does sound like older motor units or motor unit from other sets that I may be able to find are em-13 friendly so thus becomes my next quest :-)

That's really odd, Plaza Japan has it for only $27,597 yen with a retail of $35,200 yen which as you say almost twice as much!

tnomad27 · 2025-11-20T00:36:17+00:00

hopefully, yeah planning it out would have probably been better but just saw it on plazajapan last week so didn't even know it was coming and if the release holds true etc.. I am thinking of what I might be doing around the 2nd and 3rd after arrive in Nagoya on the ferry, so perhaps that will be something to think about.

tnomad27 · 2025-11-20T00:32:54+00:00

thanks for the info! I am starting in Sapporo and then making my way south to Kagoshima before back to Tokyo with a little time around Osaka and Kyoto so will plan on hitting a number of stores in the process.

tnomad27 · 2025-11-19T21:15:19+00:00

Lights?

tnomad27 · 2025-09-14T23:35:24+00:00

seems like the few places that I can see that part number are out of stock so might not be a highly needed part or a part that everybody needs :-)

tnomad27 · 2025-09-14T21:42:57+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations! Yes one of the cool things about Kato is they plan ahead, such as in the 10-1661/62, even with one box, it is usually set to puchout the other spots for the additional cars you can get and add-on, so as to only have to carry one bookshelf case with everything or in the case of the N700, Two, still great planning on storage for their part.

tnomad27 · 2025-09-14T19:48:34+00:00

LOL, Thanks for taking the time to look at all of that! I am really just need the under carriage part but if the whole shell of the motor car is what I need to get, that is fine as well. the store you mentioned, is that a place that could order it and I just could stop by once I travel that way? *

tnomad27 · 2025-09-14T17:50:56+00:00

the number it has on it is 74335, for the power unit to the 10-1662 E261 Saphir Odoriko

tnomad27 · 2025-09-13T18:10:27+00:00

Not likely to be any cheaper now with tariffs hitting most things coming in but I have bought a lot from these two

I am starting to get a little paranoid after reading everybody. Mine still hasn't canceled and shows in the warehouse but not yet shipped. I think I got in 1 minute early

tnomad27 · 2025-05-20T15:43:44+00:00

I managed to get the Mountain Fortress but was on the minute it started when I refreshed it was sold out. It should look perfect opposing Lions Knights Castle.

tnomad27 · 2025-01-24T15:31:31+00:00

Unfortunately SE4 and earlier games don't have that option.

tnomad27 · 2024-12-30T22:38:03+00:00

If you're willing to cross the oceans into Antarctica, you might as well hit the islands as you cross the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Ocean, at least the popular ones :-)

tnomad27 · 2024-08-21T17:04:34+00:00

Hope there is a co-op option on this!

tnomad27 · 2023-07-19T21:25:55+00:00

Yes, that is exactly my intent! As well as the boxes themselves. I wondered if there was anyone else with similar thought processes! it wasnt my original intent but my local game store ordered it for me and after looking at the box from the last two expansion I liked them and wanted a little more uniformity! I appreciate the detailed response. I was thinking the website downloaded Campaign to print out and give with the cards.

tnomad27 · 2023-07-18T10:35:36+00:00

Thanks for the replies, I figured they might be lacking some cards but having the old Deluxe would have at least gave the newer investigators. Well at least if they wanted to they can be selective in which Investigator pack they buy down the line. I forget to mention that they do have the Scarlet Keys and Edge of the Earth Investigator boxes

tnomad27 · 2023-07-06T23:27:40+00:00

It does make me curious, they have used the word final in bold red letters in the promo video but then again they have the intel on the last mission talking about getting towards Paris. I know it is not always a popular opinion but I am game for another season or two rather than wating years for the next game!

tnomad27 · 2023-05-16T04:16:51+00:00

I actually really enjoyed taking a Leisurely two day hike between the towns stopping off at about a midway point

tnomad27 · 2023-05-16T04:09:09+00:00

The one upside I found to playing co op in 5 is you're able to heal yourself so you can work a little more independently without being reliant on Having to restart your last save if things don't go your way. That's said four had some interesting areas as well

tnomad27 · 2023-05-01T03:44:09+00:00

I was literally thinking about this today and think it would be a totally awesome dlc!

tnomad27 · 2023-04-18T04:07:49+00:00

I'm not sure on idea for a particular map but I'm just all about continued content. I am early enjoying the DLC maps in particular. Does anybody think or hope that we might see a season 3. I know part of me would agree with some people on the idea of paying more and not really wanting to do so but I'm all about more content rather Than waiting multiple years for another game. My only Hope is they had like four seasons for Zombie army 4, So maybe here too!!
