Pics are there now. Thomas set is already gone it looks like.

Thanks Ripley

One of those "gone" Thomas sets was mine for the Future World Collection. I had an interest in the Genbi Shinkansen when first looking for pictures of the real one but had a gut feeling that the graphics would be all stickers and now that I see the Plarail pictures its true. Besides I am not a fan of the magnetic coupling trains.

Evan and I just saw this one and he said "OH MY GOSH! There it is!"

Well poop! My daughter wants that 25th Anniversary set. Hopefully, HLJ will have sufficient stock.

@ActionChugger

That is a pretty Shinkalion with those colors.

@Off The Rails

Bummer, hopefully for her this release wont be too limited where the price jumps and are hard to find later.

i am tempted by the genbi, but wondering if it will look as bad as the star wars one.

i couldnt even waitlist the thomas set, wish list only.

Tokyo-Hobby has the pre-order available.

I have already purchased from this seller:

I had sent Tokyo-hobby a message to see if they would have it in stock, but did not hear back after a day or so. The seller above had sold one of theirs so I wanted to secure one before those were gone too.

thanks, ripley. have you dealt with that second seller?

No, I have not. They appear to have good feedback so I figured I would give them a try. Tokyo-hobby was a bit cheaper but has the shipping too which ends up only making them about $.40 cheaper than what I paid for it at the other seller. I also asked about the Tekoro Harold, but Tokyo-Hobby reported that it is out at the manufacture and they have none in stock either. (I know that one was released a little while ago, but I missed it when I came out. )
