I remember when my Tomy James was broke and doing nothing lying around, the above set is how I got another James. Box is long gone, but still got him and the searchlight car!

Oh, so you had one Star? So it must not have been just a Prototype from the Wikia site. Do you know if maybe this was only released in a certain part of the world and therefore not as plentiful because I just don't see them.

It's a ToysRus exclusive, so it only had a one chainstore limited distribution.. That's probably why you don't see that searchlight car very often!

The TrackMaster Wiki has "Prototype" on its page. Maybe Jdogman can chime in on this? http://thomastrackmaster.wikia.com/wiki/...and_Rescue

Maybe someone said that because the design of the James is slightly different?
