here is WHAT you should grab. if you have the chance!
3 in 1, w/ diesel
close cliff set
treasure chase set is running in second place

Trevor379, just out of curiosity, what makes you think that these are going to be rare?

I suppose once the production run is over, that particular item won't reproduce again just the trackmaster engine shed

well-as far as rare goes- its tuff. a big guessing game.
especially w/ a new company as big as fisher!
but! supply & demand has always worked far b4 u and i were born.
why question it now?
RE: rare revolution - jdogman - 12-30-2015
I wouldn't consider anything as rare as some older products are. There are a few sets that haven't had a mass release which may be sought for in the future. Exclusives like CostCo's Avalanche Escape Deluxe Set, Target's Wild Water Rescue engines, and Walmart's The Adventure Begins products have a better chance of rarity due to their uniqueness. Harold's Helipad and Captain at the Rescue Center have barely had enough release time to qualify.
RE: rare revolution - trevor379 - 12-30-2015
there are reasons i'm suggesting these items.
take the 3 in 1 for example.
you had the 2 in 1. you can find this set everywhere. didn't move well.
fisher isn't going to continue to make items that don't sell.
the 3 in 1 pops up here and there... very sporadic... and gone. limited quantities?!? from fisher?!? doesn't add up. my guess is they are going to scrap the idea. otherwise, you would be seeing &/or hearing about the new 4 in 1.
as for the destination sets. i'm going to use the same reason hit stopped making vehicles. parents will choose a toy train over a toy boat for the child who loves a show about trains. captain wont move unless a future episode or movie highlights him and kids are drawn in. like ferdinand or rocky.
that leaves close call cliff and treasure chase. these are flying off the shelves 4 some reason. so just using supply and demand.
