Spotted in Toys R Us. For ¥11,999 you can have a 1/500 scale Tokyo Tower in your home. It lights up and everything! Just like the REAL Tokyo Tower. As you can see, this is the 2007 model. There may be a 2008 model if this sells well. This is got to be the best souvenir of Tokyo ever. It’s made by Sega Toys. Check out the cool photos on their website here. You can even download the catalogue. 2008 will be the 50th Anniversary of Tokyo Tower. I bet there will be some very exciting celebrations! I guess you can tell that I’m a fan of TT.
I’ve remember wanting one of this after watching a very old J drama called OverTime ages ago, when I was enamored by Kimura Yoshino. The one they had in the show was a tiny little one though.
Okinawa is pretty backwater, but we have a huge pallet of these sitting in the local Toys R Us and no one is buying them.
You’ve got to be kidding, it’s 11,999yen!
