I thought we had talked about when this set was released but I can't find it here or stumbling around the Internet. Anyone have this info, its not anywhere on the box and under the chassis it has 1996 but that doesn't always indicate the actual release year but it may be close.
EDIT:
I find this odd...in searching for the release date for this set I thought I would check under the chassis of the, exclusive to this set, Power Charger Pumper Tanker Motorized Vehicle and the date there is 1993 which I find strange. I would assume that because this vehicle was only made for this set that its date would be the best representative of the actual release date but how could that be if the trains engine date states 1996?
Can anyone translate the Japanese says under the Tanker? I also find this strange as usually the text is always embossed in English so painted text is odd to me.
