Bandai 1/700 Scale Tokyo Sky Tree

Due to recent sharp drop in Yen, I finally made my purchase on this Bandai 1/700 scale Tokyo Sky Tree which I have keep my eyes on since it launch.

With current drop of yen rate, it reduces at least 20% in foreign exchange rate. So in here I am proud to present my open box review to the Tokyo Sky Tree. I bought it from Amiami with 26% discount amounting 28,990 Yen plus postage fees of 5,600 Yen total up to 34,590 Yen. (PS:- There is a smaller version should you want to place it in your desktop, 1/2400 scale Bandai Tokyo Sky Tree)

First impression is the box is super huge (Now I know why I am being charged with 5,600 Yen postage). For ease of comparison, I throw in RG Zeta together in picture below.

A few snap on the box art. I personally prefer the sides of the box arts showing the tower with the moon/shooting star as back drop. The box is similar to a PG Red Frame box. It come with handle at the top.

 

Inside, we have a tray of plastic runners. Each runners is carefully protected due to the fragile part of the Sky Tree.

It have 2 separate box (A & B). For your information, the material boxes is sealed. Material box A is the tower base while material box B is the LED lighting.

Is that all, not really, if you notice in the opened box there is a white cardboard on top. It hold the another set of runners for the Sky Tree.

I hope this review might help in giving an idea on how the Tokyo Sky Tree might look like before assemble.
