Proof Monty was not a Poland exclusive

Many people say Monty was only released in Poland, however there is plenty of evidence that shows that it's not the case. 

First of all, a youtuber named Gator's misterious t,n'p productions made a video back in 2016 where he reviews Monty, Max and Byron. He is not speaking english in that video or Polish as a matter of fact, but Croatian (I translated the description).
Although I do not speak Croatian, it is from the same language family as Polish (Slavic languages) so it has some similarities which I can understand. I watched the video and from what I can understand, he only says that Monty and Max are twins, their numbers and that's just about it. Nothing about Monty being rare, supporting my point.

Furthermore, in western  engine 11's video, the trackmaster iceberg (no I did not steal his idea), he talks about how he found a hungarian website that sold Montys (although they were out of stock).

Also, Tomatron the One on twitter apparently found a Monty in the UK.

Finally, on the thomas the tank engine wiki,  this is one of the trivias on Max and Monty's page. This is copied and pasted directly from there:
"Monty's Trackmaster model was only released in certain countries such as Portugal, making him one of the rarest and least produced pieces of Thomas merchandise ever created, though some models have been found in other countries such as the UK."

So, to conclude I would say Monty was not only released in Poland, but in select European countries INCLUDING Poland. Now the thing to do is to try to somehow track down all of the countries it was released in.
Train it, plane it, you name it!
