Harvey re-release - gordonfan01 - 12-07-2018
I was scrolling through the internet when I found a 2018 plarail set with Harvey, Marion, and the pointless character Barrisford. The last time we saw Harvey Was in 2014 when he was released with a yellow power car. I have two gripes with this set... The first being the inclusion of Marion, as Harvey and Barrisford are both cranes I feel that instead of including Marion the set should have included Rocky as he is also a crane. My second gripe is Barrisford, he is a pointless character who got very little screen time, instead of including Barrisford plarail should have included Cranky. Cranky is a more well known character and is some one who I would have preferred. Apart from this the set is great, does anyone else have thoughts on this set????
The Gordon way is the best way... Keep on chuggin'

to this day, I still try to understand the relationship between Barrisford, Harvey and Marion. I don't recall all three characters appear in the same movie or episode.

Yes, as much as I appreciate any new characters smiling face to add to our collection, and as useless as Breseford is, I was still excited to see a new character. However to have to buy a another Harvey & Marion to get him was a blatant repackaging ploy to dump existing old stock off just for profit.

yea just sell your surplus characters on ebay. I probably have over 10 Thomas in my collection. I scrapped at least half of them for parts and harvested the motors.
