Thank you for all that insight Splodge! I saw that a 2011 box slipped in there somehow, so the version I had without the front sticker on it's boiler (yes, that is his boiler btw, you were correct). So it can't be a prototype, just a rare release I guess.

Hello BPT! This isn't a usual post I do, but me and my Mom went out shopping for decorations to put around the house, and well, after a bit of consideration, she was able to let me get this!

Motorized Crystal Caves Thomas from All Engines Go in 2022!

Yeah so, I guess this marks item #37 and boxed item #32 for pre-Christmas haul, and you won't see any more posts from me on Used or NiB items until then. But here is the very first AEG item I've ever owned at all and the first BNiB AEG item I've owned ever. So that's pretty cool, I showed it to my sister who is all big on crystals and stuff, and she thought it would've been cool if Fisher-Price put a light inside that purple crystal in the middle. But oh well, customs exist for a reason I guess (this reminded me of the Smelter's Yard Cars post in April, where Super you said you tried to get the Big Blue Bucket Truck's molten parts to light up when it moves).

Well that's going to be it from me this year after I will make a post of my family's attempt at a FULLY DECORATED house for December 2023! And Christmas time ofc. See you all then, and did everybody have a great Thanksgiving? I tried Turkey this year, and it tasted great! Just to let you all know also, I am very grateful for this site's existence and my collection as a whole, without these, I would have no amazing people to talk to and hear answers from on things or anyone to show off my collection to, and what's even greater is that this whole community is FULL of people who, I'd say, know what's up (Up, and Away! JK that episode sucks) to a full extent on Thomas toys.
But for real, I will see you all again until maybe 2024, after the (potential) Christmas Haul. So see you then!
