@GreatGordonFan To be honest I myself do not know but I would speculate it due to James not being all that popular in the US and the USA is the place out of all 3 where the TnA engine's were sold that had the smallest following for Thomas so naturally James was usually left and not bought meaning that over time he would grow to become rarer and rarer due to their scarce numbers
