Well well, the more you know. Figures that there's complete versions of the train, I kind of expected that, although I imagine being limited editions that they'd be kinda expensive as complete trains, especially now on the secondary collector markets.
This coach is 10 yen [presently] on it's own, and since I already have a 700 Series, I figured I'd just use it as an alternate rear coach for that, although now I know it's limited edition I guess there might be more demand closer to the auction close for someone looking to maybe complete an incomplete Ambitious Japan unit, who knows I guess?
I gotta say, the song [Ambitious Japan by Tokio] that went with the units & the ads is seriously catchy, gotta kinda love how the Shinkansen literally got their own full-length theme song - One wonders what the result might have been if British Rail had the idea to extend their 1970's 'Age of the Train' music out to album length and released it as an official single, would have been interesting for sure
