Anyone else seen these?

I am sure others have seen these listed but I was pleasantly surprised at just how many have been up for grabs. That and I was out bid on my first 3 attempts. I think I have enough now.. (4)... can't wait to see them. This should be the last of my 12 item shipment once everything arrives..

2017 Plarail Expo Clear Annie (Red/white/Blue)

[Super]

They are giving them away as part of Admission to the 2017 Tokyo Plarail Expo. Check out the beginning of Suzukawas video where they visit the show. I think that only Annie is given away at this time.

I am sure the price will get pretty cheap soon as they gave away thousands, baskets full of them....literally

Figured they may be like the Clear Annie/Clarabel, which seem to have gone up in price quite a bit. Plus I like the look so figured might as well.

They are exactly like the Streamlined Thomas coaches except this one is a translucent blue. Wonder why no Clarabel unless they plan on giving her away at a later date or show to get repeat visitors. Those regular Clear Annies are just about on the rarest of all list as I only saw two listings for one before the listing that Muddy won and seen absolutely none since. I believe those Annies and her partner Clarabel were given as an award for purchasing something from Toys R Us Japan but Clarabel is a bit easier to find, wonder why?

So you now have 4 of these Annies Ripley? I know if I had them I would be removing the face stickers and Annies name for sure but....you know me.

Yeah.. 4 for now. May try and snag a few more. They averaged out to around $8 each which isn't bad to me. I may list one on eBay to see how it does but will probably try and keep 2 in the packaging.

this didn't age well, they turned from being rare, to the listing with 53 Blue Annies and Clarabels!!!!!
