Trackmaster Alfie Research

The reason why we’ve seen fewer blushing face Thomas’ is due to the fact that they were a Japanese release, and not many people from the western world have one. I’m sure If there was a Japanese version of bpt, people would maintain that Alfie is rarer because 1 he was never released there and 2, very few Japanese collectors have an Alfie. The 60th anniversary Thomas is an interesting one, as I’ve only ever seen 2 up for sale, and only know 1 person who has one in their possession. However same can be said with the silver Thomas, I only know 2 people that have one, and I’ve only ever seen 2 come up for sale. I get what you mean as the 60th anniversary Thomas can be mistaken by the normal parent or kid as another variation of Thomas, whereas the silver Thomas is obviously a rare and special release, but in my opinion, number produced defines rareity, not number seen. I find it funny that we as a community only found about about the 60th anniversary Thomas last year, even though it was released in 2006. With the Snowy Freddie I’m not sure, it’s a prototype so I’m not sure it can be included in the list as it wasn’t released to the public
