to2leo Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I am very sad to say I used to own one of those Shinkansen when I was kid. I remembered carrying it home and everyone was looking at me in the 1980s. Link to comment

I also remembered the store was also selling one red boxy looking train from Japan... Great use for the club btw! Link to comment
quinntopia Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Cool! I've never seen anything like those! I don't know if those prices aren't too unbelievable given the market for tin robots and such out there (if they are authentic). Still way outside of my collecting budget! Link to comment
cteno4 Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 quintopia, these can be had for $10-50 for the less rare kind. just have to lurk on ebay for them a while. i have quite a few now and will post some picts when i get a chance. cheers, jeff Link to comment
