Looks very busy,very detailed.The price is steep but it looks like I will have to have this one,along with the Takao,and the San Francisco.I guess I will have to make more room on the shelves,and work some OT to get the funds.

Agreed on all points, Anthony...I can only imagine just what the aftermarket gurus are going to be outting out for this one, as well!!

All I can say here is WOW! This one looks awesome and a must have. $180 is a bit steep, will be saving a few pennies for sure. Still no news on US websites on release dates however, is the November date a japanese release with US following in a month or so?

Hi Shawn!

180 bucks is quite steep, mate, and it is the MSR, but I'm sure that there will be some specials available from many outlets...and November is the announced release date for the model in Japan, as you have stated...

It seems the bar has been raised again. As to PE, oh I am quite sure they will come out with all kinds of sets for it, but looking at this kit, about the only thing I would do is just add railings, and that is a nice inexpensive generic item. But just looking at this ship makes one stare in awe. I especially like the clear bridge section, that is large enough to add a couple of figures behind to show off to your buds with a magnifying glass, now how cool would that be?
