Track Pack...Anyone Seen Them?

[Super]

Anyone seen these available anywhere what looks to be Track Packs with the new "Real Class" gray open rail with sleepers Tomy tracks?

no track switches? it would be a hard to sell especially when they are more expensive than the conventional blue tracks.

Where did you see a price Leyland?

I found it on PlazaJapan.

Thanks for the Links Drew but are we sure those tracks are authentic and not 3D printed?

Both 4-packs are available from TakaraTomy Mall, 660 yen each. Plaza Japan would not be selling anything other than these genuine ones, but I agree that general availability does seem to be curiously restricted. Maybe most vendors don't think they'd sell many at a price of well over US$1 per piece?  A 4-pack of regular straight BPT costs 440 yen from the same source. 

I don't see that manufacturing cost would be any different, except that short runs always cost more, so this mark-up is likely due to an attempt to pass it off as a 'premium' product in line with the whole Real Class strategy.

Thanks Dr Chris

I always get leery of seeing Listings that don't show the original boxes or packaging or official descriptions. I certainly don't mind the price as long as I can get some good inexpensive shipping. The 2 straight rails I have now look great on the bridges. Since I have all grey track I think these would fit in nicely for certain, special areas of a layout.

I do find it curious that besides what Chrisjo and Drew mention...I can not find these available anywhere else...not Hobby Search, not the Yahoo Auctions, not Amazon.
