What do you think?

Do you think Plarail will rerelease Duck and Oliver into their Thomas line since they returned to the series? Would you buy them if they did comeback? Enough with the questions, now with the theory. I think they did not release Duck this year because they might have wanted to bring back Duck and Oliver together. And we all know they release the engines a year later than the engines special came out.

Do you think Plarail will rerelease Duck and Oliver into their Thomas line since they returned to the series? Would you buy them if they did comeback? Enough with the questions, now with the theory.

I think this might be a simple test of time; Duck simply needs the white on his eyes, his teeth, and the silver handrails whereas Oliver would need his black running board, green wheels, silver handrails, white on his eyes and his teeth. I certainly hope so; Oliver could be rereleased updated with the branch line coaches while Duck comes with coal trucks.

I'd certainly pick up Oliver. Honestly I dont think Plarail is focusing on engines right now as much as sets and add ones and stuff. I surely hope they do. I'd get them.

i'll am going to get oliver if he is rereleased but no duck, I have a tomy duck and it's one of my 'childhood' engine i'll never replace that duck.

I think it's an interesting question and somewhat possible. My confidence in Plarail engines re-released has risen since Harvey was released this year, even though the cars were repainted, so Duck and/or Oliver could get that same treatment the following year. The issue is that it looks like they are trying to keep the number of available engines not too high, so more existing engines will be discontinued, like what happened to Mavis, Stanley, and Dash. Looking at the current line-up of 18, I don't think anything really looks like it's ready to be withdrawn. I believe the first ten engines will be untouchable, and the only likely engine I can see getting discontinued and replaced with one of these two characters is Percy and Rocky.
