Plarail in Korea - 프라레일 - Finno - 09-15-2019 On my first reco mission in Seoul I thought I would try the well known Toy Street and some of the shops down there. As usual plenty of Tomica cars and there was a bit of Thomas represented but no vanilla Plarail. Here's some pics from that street. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Next stop, always the fall back - Toys R Us, to see if I can find the KTX. RE: Plarail in Korea - 프라레일 - Super - 09-15-2019 Oh Wow...they have a street with just toy shops....priceless. I would need a large shopping cart to browse down that street. A question comes to mind about past Korean only Plarail releases. Wonder how many there are and what they are. Thanks for sharing. RE: Plarail in Korea - 프라레일 - Finno - 09-15-2019 Well I got to the closest Toys R Us. It's actually a part of the 6th floor in Lotte Mart Department Store near Cheongnyangni station (in case anyone is ever using this for reference). They didn't have a massive range but yes, they had Plarail (and Tomica) and I got my KTX! I opted for the train and not the basic set which doesn't have the middle carriage. I also grabbed a few Tomica cars, including the 4D police cruiser and some mini Shinkansen. Here are some pics in store: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() RE: Plarail in Korea - 프라레일 - Super - 09-15-2019 Thats a lot of eye candy Finno ![]() RE: Plarail in Korea - 프라레일 - Finno - 09-22-2019 (09-15-2019, 02:45 PM)Super Wrote: Thats a lot of eye candy Finno Before I left I managed to go to another Toys R Us in the Lotte Mart near the Seoul World Tower. This one had even more Plarail than the other one and quite a big Thomas section too. So, more eye candy for you: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Notice the Plarail brand on some of these is written in English and some is in Korean. RE: Plarail in Korea - 프라레일 - Nigels - 09-22-2019 So how do the prices compare in Korea to the rest of the world? RE: Plarail in Korea - 프라레일 - AOF04 - 09-22-2019 20,000 won US $17 dollars, UK GBP 14 Pounds, JP 1800 yen RE: Plarail in Korea - 프라레일 - Finno - 09-22-2019 (09-22-2019, 06:18 PM)Nigels Wrote: So how do the prices compare in Korea to the rest of the world? As per AOF04, the standard train price was KRW24,800 which is about AUD$30, USD$20, GBP16, EU18. I mostly take note of Aussie conversions but this is typical of what I have seen in China, Singapore, HK for a new standard train (not limited edition or collectors). Sometimes in China and HK I have seen a little cheaper (AU$24) but only on occasion. The absolute worst prices I see are on eBay. Some sellers just try their luck I think. It's always my last resort. RE: Plarail in Korea - 프라레일 - Super - 09-23-2019 That is some nice eye candy Finno...makes my mouth water ![]() The Korean Language Plarail on the box does look strange. Is it in Korean on the front and English on the back? |
