I think if they just had made him with wheels (like Ucwepn says) instead of him up on a flat bed, they may have prevented this and the sail would have fit under. Just doesn't look right running around with his sail down or is this how he was in the movie/show?

Skiff never had his sail down in the movie as far as I can remember. He is yet to appear in the TV show, but is likely to appear in season 20, since Ryan and Daisy will appear in that season as well.

Looking forward to Ucwepns Plarail Ryan and Skiff to arrive as he is going to do one of his famous video reviews on the set. Bet he is going to enjoy doing a review on a Plarail release as he has had to do so many of late on the Trackmaster II.

Super you are so correct!

I can't wait for a review for Ryan either! I'd enjoy a review before buying.

If anyone is looking for one of the Plarail Ryan's, I just saw this one up on eBay. This is the cheapest I have seen so far. I purchased one (not from this seller) and paid $34 + free shipping. I was thinking it may be cheaper this route versus hobby searc, but not sure.

Wrong: don't steal one from me (please don't; I still need to wait for James, Oliver, Powerful Gordon, and a set to come!) but on Amazon the cheapest it's up for is a bit over 26 USD and free shipping.

Very smart idea, Muddy. The spring may need to be a bit less durable however, due to it still getting stuck in some places.

That is a neat idea, but there are some overpasses that he got stuck on.

Yes!!

it's not the perfect spring...Thee perfect spring would be fatter and softer, and fit around the circular base hole, and around the largest part of that mast's base as well, instead of inside the hole, and only on the rounded end of the mast...I am keeping an eye out and hoping to find the perfect gizmo to steal one from to make it perfect, but until then am having to make due w/ the ballpoint spring:/
