As it says, the B20 was released on July 20th 2003 during the event "Let's play with Plarail in Umekoji" which was held at the Umekoji Steam Engine Museum (now known as the Kyoto Railway Museum) from April 5th to October 26th of that year, along with the Yoshitune.
However, the B20 was subsequently available as a Plarail Expo exclusive item until at least 2006, so while it is certainly desirable it is not super rare. For that price I think I'd be hoping to get one that looked a bit cleaner, and in its original box. I'm always suspicious of sellers who can't be bothered to make their goods look presentable before taking pictures, although I admit that I've bought a few gems that looked shocking but cleaned up nicely.
