I wonder what the criteria for getting one. I am starting to collect pennies for bidding on the first one that shows up in the Japan Auctions. The sky's the limit.

Just saw these on eBay (pre-order) this morning. Still a bit expensive for me, from this seller. The same seller also has Hurricane listed.

How much is Hurricane going for? If it's the same price as the Ringers, I'd happily put in an order now, but if not I suppose I'll just wait some extra months for them to go up for cheap on Amazon. Tongue

Unfortunately Hurricane is $39 + $8 for shipping so I will be passing on that one for now too. Dodgy

If you're looking to preorder these new JBS Plarail items, HobbySearch.com has preorders opened up as of this morning; I've got the Merlin & Thomas set, as well as Frankie and Hurricane preordered.

I'd hurry on those preorders from HobbySearch if I were you; once they close, you have to wait for them to restock before ordering.

HELLO HANK!! You've been missed!!Smile


RE: Plarail TOMY Thomas NEW RELEASES - Super - 03-01-2018

Hank...the name sounds familiar but I can't place the face...

I actually had checked Hobby Search for new releases just before this and when I rechecked about 2 hours later all the new releases had already been listed and pre-orders closed fast. Bummer but all I was after was Hurricane for the Future World Collection so I am not in any hurry. The good news is that he has a Plarail model number, TS-21, for retail sales so he should be available everywhere after his release date of early April

Here is a cheaper one just listed on Ebay for Pre-Order. I have no prior dealings with the seller so proceed with your own caution. Has anyone else had an experience with this seller? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Plarail-TS-22-Hurricane-Frankie/332563623303?epid=4015338642&hash=item4d6e562d87:g:raIAAOSwnsRajh~C

i really want a closer look at the panda one.


RE: Plarail TOMY Thomas NEW RELEASES - Super - 03-05-2018

And I want a closer look at the Steamer. Thanks Sun, does anyone else have more info on these?


RE: Plarail TOMY Thomas NEW RELEASES - Off The Rails - 03-05-2018

A new steam locomotive is always welcome! It looks like a tank engine, so maybe a C11(?).

EDIT: JR Hokkaido runs an excursion train headed by C11-207, which features the unusual dual headlight arrangement seen on this Plarail engine.
