Well, you guys are legends to me lol
Seriously though, some of the really old TOMY stuff you've found and recorded is incredible, I thought I had a few rarities but you guys blow mine out of the water lol
I find it especially fascinating how Plarail actually sold in the UK under Palitoy, as for years I had assumed that Tomy only introduced Plarail to the UK via the Tomy Trains system that directly preceded Tomica World, when it's very apparent that Plarail has been here for considerably longer, if not always under the TOMY label... I knew it had been avaliable in Japan as far back as 1959 but never knew it had gone international any earlier than the late 80's/early 90's, so I've learned loads from just lurking...
