I have been after this guy for quite a while and had been envious of Ripley because of his. Seems every one I had seen in the Japan Auctions would not sell to the Buying Agents or ones I found in other places would ship over seas. Of course I could of paid way too much for what some sellers wanted but I just bided my time and it was shear luck that this one showed up on Ebay of all places. It was luck because I happened to be looking at an Ebay page of something totally different from these trains and at the bottom was a row of items that were under "People who viewed this item also viewed" and there it was, and for a better price that I had seen anywhere else...cool...so I grabbed it.
As fate would have it, I had made a bid on a Used one in the Japan Auctions just a few hours earlier for just a minimum of 1200yen and would you know it...I won that one too. All these months searching for one now I will have 2. These usually go for upwards of a $100 even used so I sure can't complain. At least now I can keep this one sealed and run the used one, which looks mint. I have a plan for a modification for that one too. Did I mention this was a talking Donald Duck Train?
