Why is Oliver so expensive?

Hi guys, a lot of you have tomy olivers and i have one myself but I was just wondering why they are so expensive? It's just a normal train but why is it so expensive and sought after. I don't get the reason for paying over $75 for a train that was produced in millions upon millions just like every other train in the tomy/plarail/trackmaster line.

Simply because it was never released in all markets, so therefore in some countries like the USA it can only be bought as an import...

On my case I paid for Oliver £50 on Amazon UK, that means $62,48. So on Amazon UK was much cheaper than Ebay

Ok, hold on. It's expensive because:

1) He was never released in the US

2) He's VERY RARE

3) He was only released in the UK and Japan

He was also released in Australia

There have been a few instances where singular countries have received exclusive releases...Flip face Toby at the Copper Mine set (USA), Muddy Gordon & Muddy Spencer (UK), as well as Target, Walmart, and other chain exclusives, that all bring premiums in countries and areas where they aren't readily available.

Just wondering aren't there 2 versions, one that is marked as 2003 tomy and the other one 1998 tomy. Mine is 2003 but which one is rarer?
