Plarail TOMY Thomas NEW RELEASES

i just wish the tracks comes in a package stand alone.

Didn't Chris say that those track would also comes as standalone R-29?

The official description of the E8 set says that the S-shaped curves in it are a special limited colour, which pretty much confirms the suspicion that the 4-pack R-29 ones will be regular sky blue.

Hobby Search now has the 4 Pack listed for Pre-Order (540y) and they show them as Tomy Blue.

It has the same length as a single straight rail, and can be used to curve gently between multiple track widths.

I've not got time to investigate further just now, but the JR East Stamp Rally prizes could be interesting....

[Super]

Thanks Dr Chris. Looking forward to what you find out especially if some of the prizes are brand new items 😊

I love how Plarail and FisherPrice just casually ended the standard Thomas releases and replaced them with GoGo and AEG like it was nothing to all the people who supported them.

OK, this is what we've got:

* The E8 series Tsubasa & Tomica Arch Railroad Crossing Set with dark blue S-rails that we already know about (see above).

* A Plarail stamp rally will be held with JR East from April 5th to June 2nd. Collect the stamps from any 10 of the participating 22 stations in the Tokyo metropolitan area and you'll get a rubber keychain and a chance to be among 200 winners of an E235 series Yamanote Line, the same clear version that was on offer last year, but with the addition of 65th anniversary markings.

* Also, collect stamps from the three JR East Shinkansen stations (Fukushima, Karuizawa and Echigo Yuzawa), then make a 600 yen purchase at a station NewDays store and get a free 65th anniversary clear E3 Tsubasa, again with 65th anniversary markings.

 



* Plarail Expo in Tokyo will be held at Ikebukuro Sunshine City between 26th April and 5th May. "We plan to sell new Plarail products to commemorate the event". Some of the buttons at the top of the website are labelled 'coming soon', one of them bears the text 'Plarail Market'. The admission souvenir will be this E8 Shinkansen Tsubasa intermediate car:

Many thanks Dr Chris

Nice to know what the dates are for the Tokyo Plarail Expo. I am holding out hope that they will offer any Plarail Expo Exclusives at the event. These here are nice but looks to be existing trains but are clear and have special stickers commemorating the 65th.

The transparent Yamanote train looks nice... and it would look even better without those stickers!
