Referring back to the question posed at the end of the first post in this thread...
The name of 85108 is confirmed as Metro Train MT1100, I found it on the archive of toysrus.co.uk for 25-Dec-2011. At the same time I discovered that this and six other items were Toys-R-Us exclusives.

It's astonishing that this was only 10 years ago, and yet this information is almost lost, there is no fan-site, tumblr, wiki or any other such online resource. I suppose I'd better do something about that here.
Incidentally, the first available archived listing of the Tomica Hypercity range on Toys-R-Us UK is for 07-Jul-11, with 19 products. By 26-Jun-2012 they were down to four, all substantially discounted, and the last archived listing was 24-Jun-2013, with two at half price.
I also discovered that Toys-R-Us will be returning to the UK in 2022, having closed all their stores and their on-line operation in 2018.
