Recent Future World Arrival

[Super]

Many of you know that I am amassing a "Future World" Collection of Thomas and Friends motorized trains to be sealed up for my heirs to either play with or sell. The collection consists of new Tomy and if Tomy didn't make, new Trackmaster trains. (not Revolution). So far the collection is up to 29 new Thomas characters. I have some more on the way. When I finally stop (soon) adding to the collection I will take a picture to share with you. But I wanted to share this one as I am tickled to add this one that should be worth quite a bit new in the box in the future. I am adding four track adapters that couple the blue Tomy tracks to the flip face tracks in this set for Future World playing. This is also the only character that will be a double in the collection as I have the original Tomy Hiro.

nice work, super! one that is still on my must find list.

Thanks Sunhuntin

My only complaint, and this goes for all trains, is too much of a reliance on stickers. The boiler has painted details but everything else is stickered. This is quite evident when seeing used ones as the edges of those stickers turn white with usage. Other wise he is beautiful. Surprised that he is called "Talking Hiro" on the box as I thought he was known as "Lost and Found" Hiro.

Awesome!!
That is one of the nicest trains EVER made!!
It is HiT's masterpiece!!
Incomparable to ANY other by any other company

Were there two releases of this Hiro? One from Trackmaster and one from HiT or only one with dual branding?
