Plarail TOMY Thomas NEW RELEASES

I wished they would make more of the CGI stuff as well.

From the Plarail Taiwan Facebook account:

A few new things here. I'm still sorting it out in my mind.

Are these new Taiwan train sets only sold exclusively in. Taiwan?

[Super]

Thank you Dr Chris

Hmmm...wonder what 7-Eleven has to do with it? A collab where they are only available at that store? I don't see their Logo on the box though. Hmmm...come to think about it...wouldn't it be neat if Plarail came out once a year with a collab Brand train like a 7-Eleven, Coca Cola, FedEx etc liveried release?

I can't make out what animal is in the Cattle Car with the EF-200 engine or whether its included or not.

The balloon with the 7-Eleven logo and 限定 over the corner of the Taroko box, beneath the Starter Set banner, says "7-Eleven Exclusive".

The strip across the middle 太魯閣號7-ELEVEN 限定熱賣中 says "Taroko 7-ELEVEN limited hot sale now".

The yellow Pla-kid speech bubble 內附折價券和 教學手冊 says "comes with discount coupon and instruction manual".

I think that's the same panda that's on the KF-03 Animal Wagon packaging, but which you don't actually get.

The Animal Train and the "Blue Flyner" sets are on Ebay.com from a seller in Hong Kong, labelled "Takara Tomy Plarail Train Asia Starter Set", so these two at least are not exclusive to Taiwan.

Thank you Dr Chris for the translation 😃

Anyone else curious as to silence for new Plarail announcements for releases in the last while. Just seems like an unusually longer time for me but maybe because I am too impatient. Might this be normal for this time of year or something else like factory retooling, staff shortages or downsizing.

Fasten your seat belt, Super! Here they are! 😊

Plarail Ginga Dreamline C58 Type 239 SL Ginga - March 2023

This appears to be identical with the August 2015 one, even the pre-release pictures are exactly the same.  Welcome, though.

the only differences from the August 2015 release is that the coaches are transparent or clear.

as for the Plarail J-23, I notice there are pegs for people to mount the signs. I wonder if the Plarail kids can use those pegs to help them stand.
