i can only assume tht ur brother is there for only 2 reasons.
#1) because he has to. and #2) because he wants to.
therefore, u wouldn't want to compromise his experience.
he has an agenda.
if i was you (and i wish i was, i have been trying to get feet on the ground in japan 4 yrs)
i would break this down into 2 categories.
A) 2 trains tht most dont have.
B) 6 trains tht alot more don't have.... (weather you have them or not!)
i would refrain from buying ANYTHING at the airport.
He will be going for work but will end up with a few days to shop and knows of my collection and how much I would love to go there. I am probably going to try for a few trains and maybe a few speciality track pieces. I would love to try and get the new Thomas Steam set but not sure it is even out yet.
