Es wird wohl langsam ernst!

Although I never used Twitter at all, it is so disgustingly to see that weird "X" glyph instead of normal blue bird. Otherwise, my anticipations regarding Shinkansen 0 series train are also very high. It is also interesting how many versions Rokuhan will produce.

Greetings,

Der Shinkansen kann ab jetzt vorbestellt werden, z.B. bei Hobby Search (bei anderen Händlern habe ich nicht nachgesehen)!

It is just interesting that the price of the newest 12-car train set fitted with interior details nearly equals the price of 4-car ICE 3 train set from 2016.

On the other side, Shinkansen O train (and all other passenger trains from Rokuhan) comes with interior details right out of the box, while ICE 3 does not offer this feature.

HobbySearch just posted high resolution product pictures of the novelty from Rokuhan:

Looks like it is a very well detailed and printed product. Of course, new pictures are also the clear sign of the very soon availability of the set.

That's Japan:
Rokuhan announced delivery at octobre 3rd, and delivery at octobre 3rd it was!

The first pictures of the set have popped up on Twitter by now... (and many, many more of the Gläserner Zug shorties!)
