I sure hope this isn't another prototype picture by Plarail and the real wheels will end up different. They have done that with some trains. I also hope that the silver is like plating as pictured and doesn't end up some silver paint in the retail release. If its exactly as this picture shows I am in for the Future World Collection. Anyone know what it says where the "100" is?
Howdy Super!
I believe that there is a catch with this-- now, please don't take my word on this, but this comes following a review of the "Let's Reminiscence! Thomas & Merlin Coal Hopper" Set.
The set comes with 10 cargo pellets-- 5 red, 5 grey. The video I watched had 5 red, 4 grey, and 1 gold, and a little pamphlet that the user scanned, which took him to a webpage that revealed this Silver Thomas and the two ladle cars.
I believe that only 100 sets have these gold pellets, and that those provide a code for the owner to receive one of these Thomas sets.
Unfortunately, mine did not come with the gold pellet, but I am happy with it nonetheless.
