Plarail TOMY Thomas NEW RELEASES

[Super]

Ok....I see now...the date in the blue field is the announcement date and probably close to when the pre-orders start and the other date in the white field is the probable release date. Thanks all for the help, can you tell I am anxious?

I believe the new Plarail releases will be showcased at the Tokyo Plarail Expo which starts on 4/27 through 5/6.

Thanks ND, I had wondered if there would be another Plarail Expo for 2018 in Japan and when it would be if there were. I am hoping we see closer looks for all of these yet to be released trains there.

It will be at Ikebukuro Sunshine City. This year, the tickets are specific-date entry which will definitely be an improvement on crowd control than last year when I experienced being in line for hours. The exclusive gifts for this year:

[Super]

Thanks ND113

I like it when they have new exclusive give away items like this Bertie but I must say I am disappointed that they didn't make a matching clear blue Clarabel to complete and pair with the Annie they gave away last year.

Well, I must say that I don't like it when pieces that are exclusive only to specific sets, like Bash, Caitlin, Ben, ect...or like this Tekoro Bertie are reissued for single sale or just given away!!
Really what's the point in buying a special set with an exclusive item inside if it's only going to be re-released and available as a single unit later on??

[Super]

Oh my...so this Bertie isn't a Expo Exclusive?

Oh my...so this Bertie isn't a Expo Exclusive?

No...he was an exclusive to this set:

...which is why we bought it!
So, it's really a jip to see them just giving him away now

[Super]

Well thats just wrong...so really, they don't have an exclusive with paid admission at this Expo. since the Dr Yellow coach isn't something new except maybe the number 5. I really like the years where they gave out items that had the year printed/painted on them but I am not sure those were part of admission giveaways or were part of some of the childrens carnival games inside the show.

Nope...and still no clear blue Clarabel!!
...and I wouldn't be suprised to see a standard reissuing of Bash coming soon to be released either.
