never heard of or seen that before!

I looked at the sellers other items Highest to Lowest, and I think it's either an entire lot of entries that are all typos, or the seller is off his rocker!!
...there is no exchange rate on fools gold!!

Good luck to him if he can find a plonker who will pay that much for such things, you could probably buy a 3D printer and make your own from scratch for less lol!

I remember somebody tried to sell the express coaches (the red one with yellow stripe) for $1500 US. Needless to say he never sold them.

I am curious as too what it sounds like. Has a switch on the roof, wonder if it has a variety of sounds or just one which would become quite annoying after a while. There does seem to be some Japanese writing (I think) within the white stripe on the side. Wonder if this was part of a released train or sold individually. If it is from the 80's as the listing states, and it just makes a choo choo sound it must have been for a steam train and not a commuter or the early Shinkansens.

There does seem to be some Japanese writing (I think) within the white stripe on the side.

From the bare-bones Japanese I know from importing video games, the writing in the blue rectangle in the cream stripe on the side is something like 'ra e no', which as far as I know doesn't really translate into an English word, but I could be entirely wrong. I can't really make out the orange writing in the white rectangles on the cream stripe. The writing on the top sticker is 'melody'.

The seller also seems to be selling a copy of the Famicom Mini (AKA the Game Boy Advance NES Classics series) version of Dai-2-Ji Super Robot Taisen for over eight thousand U.S. dollars, which, while an expensive game, is not worth nearly that much. One sold for about $15 shy of $400 dollars earlier this year. I don't know if the seller is just asking absolute top dollar or what.

I wonder...do you think this Japanese seller typed in the Yen amount for the price when listing these and not the converted USD amount? Since there is no Ebay Japan it makes it hard to compare.
