RE: Plarail TOMY Thomas NEW RELEASES - Mister No - 10-06-2022
It seems to me that Plarail EVA & EVA-02 are looking the same (except the colour). Am I wrong? Also, the previous (violet) EVA had lights, and in the description of EVA-02 I can't find the info on that; maybe EVA-02 (which is more expensive than previous EVA) has no lights? Anyway, although I'm not into Shinkansen, this EVA (and EVA-02) are really nice models.

RE: Plarail TOMY Thomas NEW RELEASES - Super - 10-06-2022
That would be odd if this new release doesn't have lights. I see no mention of lights in the Amazon description either.
RE: Plarail TOMY Thomas NEW RELEASES - HanoibusGamer - 10-07-2022
Yep, there will be no light gimmick for this train. I guess the reason for the price hike is inflation and probably licensing. 500 Hello Kitty Shinkansen, released in 2021, is priced 3,080 JPY with only 2-speed like this EVA-02.
RE: Plarail TOMY Thomas NEW RELEASES - Super - 10-07-2022
Thank you Hanoi đ
RE: Plarail TOMY Thomas NEW RELEASES - chrisjo - 10-07-2022
The original 500 series EVA released in June 2016, in its fancy box, was 3,000 JPY even then.

RE: Plarail TOMY Thomas NEW RELEASES - Super - 10-08-2022
Thanks Dr Chris
Am I right in remembering that the ES series is the smaller, squashed middle car one? Those tankers look different with the EF210, wonder if there are any pictures of those.
RE: Plarail TOMY Thomas NEW RELEASES - Mister No - 10-08-2022
If I'm not mistaken, this Dr. Yellow is the first ES set, isn't it? It looks a bit poor, like the ES series in general. Well, it seems to me that the new Plarail ES series is ... just another "series": we will have to get used to its existence, just as those who don't like AEG have to get used to the existence of such a product line in Tomy Plarail... ES series looks worse than the regular products (those middle cars!), it's full of stickers, but the company thinks it has its target customers.
In my opinion, the problem will only arise if they release some really nice new train in the ES series (I don't count this do-it-yourself-commuter train) that they won't release in the "normal" Plarail line.
I hope Tomy doesn't drain their resources too much on that new ES series, AEG, and other side product lines, because that obviously has the effect of reducing the number of "regular" products. This year, for example, there were very few regular commuter trains from Plarail...

No, the equally undesirable Plarail Entry Set E5 Series Shinkansen Hayabusa was released a couple of weeks ago (22nd September).
