I'm so glad you slightly modified your opinion on re-releases, Super... You once said that "it would be a bummer for me if after taking so long and expense in acquiring rare items they started to mass produce them." I understand and appreciate your stand (then and now), but I really think there should be some exceptions, and some great trains and/or accessories should be re-released. For one reason, some newer Plarail collectors weren't even alive when some items were sold. Many Plarail items were sold out in such short period of times many years ago.
If there is a reason for so many re-releases this year (the whole Covid-situation surely must be one of them), I do think they should have put some older models on the market again. And not just the trains, there is a good deal of great scenery and other accessories (double tunnel, station on curve, bridge on curve, to name just some of them) that would be greatly appreciated if re-released.
As for the trains, why so many re-releases of relatively recent models? And none (yet) of Thomas & Friends series? Do they keep the molds for only so many years, so they can't release 20 or more years old model again, or what? I don't know. If this is (for whatever reason) a time for re-releases, then why another Sonic train? or Aru Ressha? Previous editions of these trains could be still found in some shops. Why not listen to the customer wishes and release again (if possible) at least some trains (and other stuff) that people would buy like hot cakes? Or in short: Why let a crisis go to waste?
