Yeah I was also surprised when Hobbysearch said they would not have it. I am fairly certain this toy is exclusive to the main station that this train runs at so I guess Gift shop Exclusive.
They have several differing severities of limited from as rare as fanclub member only exclusives to one event only exclusives. a step up train station gift shop exclusives, Plarail Shop location Exclusives, a step up Loves fun train series so sold for only one year or until the original amount produced is sold out no re-print after stock runs out, then you've seen and bought the limited 3 packs of trains usually with one that is very exclusive only to that 3 pack. and so on up to common retail train series numbered for easy collection

Sounds strange since they seem to always have all other releases unless they couldn't get any guarantee on their order from Tomy. Your friend must have an inside track with Tomy to be assured an x amount of the Limited release. I wonder when Tomy say Limited, just what does that mean. Limited in numbers, limited in who they allow to sell them and where/ Like at certain station stops or something.
