Wow.. very nice collection up for grabs..

That's wierd...I could have sworn that there was already a bnib image of Alife on the Internet, but after scouring images I couldn't seem to find a single one or his packaging?
...so here you go!

@ B'Station Also, yes Thumper wasn't sold in the U.S. so the only place to find one is from Japan..
Monty is a collectors dream, and scooping them up and hoarding them as long term investments seems like the only natural thing for a collector to do!?!? Lol
Yes, that paint proof image on the Internet is the one Bkvir208 just recently acquired, and is the last TM Alfie to have surfaced to date.

Wow thank you for the images Muddy!! Alfie looks amazing! I have a suspicion Alfie had the same story as Monty - as in both of them were only ever sold in one country - in Alfie's case it was only Canada, probably specifically Quebec, since the NEW sticker is in French, suggesting it would be an international translation release and since Alfie was only released in Canada - he definitely was only released in Quebec! Should help narrow down the search haha!

In my opinion hoarding isn't a good thing to get into. If a person buys multiple engines new and just stores them, I honestly don't see a point in buying them - if they're not going to be sold or taken out of the box. I personally don't agree with long term investments in the sense of hoarding items, its a waste of time and space.

Anyways, yes, Thumper was only released in J-28 destination released in 1999 for Plarail, Asia only.

Wow lucky! There is probably only two - three in the world of the prototype Alfie since its a pre-production model!!

How much did you get your Alfie for by the way Muddy? I hope its not something like $400?!

Also, my NIB TrackMaster HiT Toys Company Bert just arrived. Is he rare? I can't find any images of him in his box on the internet.
