HNBG's 2023 purchases

Thanks to Lunar New Year traditions, I have some to spend on widening my Plarail collection now.


Starting off, I have bought the J-27 Fumikiri set and Shinkansen 300 Series Last Run, both brand new.



First, the J-27, I bought it just for the fact that it got the original Plarail crews Plakids, the girl I remembered being a co-host in a 2009 Plarail DVD, the yellow cap dude is still Plarail mascot, and a generic Plakids.



This crossing has a bell that is activated when a train runs through the blue notch in the middle, not the blue rails that drops the barrier. Other than that, it's just a higher version of the normal single lane crossing.

Plarail Shinkansen 300 Last Run is a surprise for me. I did not expect to come across a Shinkansen 300 Series released quite many years ago in the wild, let alone being a special version AND brand new, with an extra plastic packaging outside and such. 



The store that I bought from somehow only have train sets from many years ago (all with previous box style). I have had plans to get the newer Shinkansen 300 (the one with 4 cars, one of which has sound), but this one is cheaper, has special livery, and looks better (imo) than the new version so there we are.
