    Hi,

    I'm sort of on top my financial problem caused by a holiday gone wrong, and as soon as I see the end of the tunnel, what do I do, start looking for something to buy.

    Next on my list is Ikado & Tako Tank from BW II though I always hear how big the set is, and it's a worry as I am considering getting it from Japan. I am also hoping to do a photoshoot of the set, and I suspect the box might not fit in my lightbox.

    So, how big is the box compared to, say, Battle Convoy or Lio Convoy vs Galvatron set? I have both in the box so if you could compare Ikado & Tako Tank box with those it'll give me a good idea of its size.

    Thank you for your help :)

    Thanks, guys! Even though I don't have a G1 Scorponok or a 10 gallon fish tank and use metric system, I got a very good idea of the size thanks to you :D  Sounds like the box is not as long as I thought, but thick (over 9 inches is really thick).

    Thank you for the pic, DJ Soundwave. Those blue eyes of Tako Tank have the mesmerising effect on me. Everytime I see them I feel like I have to have the toy.

    lastmaximal, do you remember how much the one you saw was? The one I'm considering is going to cost me about $70 before shipping and I don't know if it's a good price.
