PUYUMA AND TAROKO TRAIN SET

[Super]

I forgot about the Virgin Express. That one is a British train right? Is that the only one.

LOL...You make it sound like you are offended that anyone would dare say this. I am not saying for them to stop making Japanese replicas, as they are now, just to give other trains another go but this time make them available in all their markets. They may be surprised at how well they are received there or maybe not. Who is arguing? I hardly think what either of us thinks will have any effect on Tomy. I certainly don't think you would stop buying Tomy trains if they started to produce, say, a limited Edition of an Australian F-Unit. Why not? What would it hurt? In todays Global Economy and Online Sales products are no longer relegated to just one part of the world. I think this may be one of the reasons that Trackmaster/Fisher Price might not renew Tomy's license for the Thomas line because before the ease of Global sales they really weren't in direct competition with their sales but now they are. Its evident in just looking at the listings in the US Amazon. I am sure Trackmaster aren't too happy with how easy it has become to buy from Japan now right in their back yard.
