S-51 SL Taiju, plarail shop = 2000, HS = 1800
KF-07 Dr Yellow 923 extra car, plarail shop = 450, HS = 405
And I believe I'm right in thinking there's a 10% domestic sales tax on top of those store prices? The small print on the KF-07 price tag says 495 yen (i.e. 450 + 45).
Are Plarail shops tax-free for foreign visitors? (I'm reading that "Tax free shopping is available to foreign tourists only at licensed stores when making purchases of over 5000 yen at a given store or mall on one calendar day.") You'd need to take an empty suitcase.
