FromJapan may be one option, you can provide a link to the product page and have them purchase it, from there it works just like a yahoo auction.

I was just going to say that. I was going to do it that way but have never purchase that way other than auctions. I am assuming there are still the fees and double shipping. Just wondering if they may pop up on eBay or an auction and be any cheaper? Probably not though.. :-/

Yea the only difference is it is coming from a store rather than a individual, so the domestic shipping is a little more predictable, it would be worth reading the Toys R Us Japan shipping page to get a idea of what you are in for. As for eBay I'm sure someone will list it, but only way to know price there is to wait and see how much markup they add.

That looks really cool! I'm not sure about Thomas' yellow truck, but Thomas and James look amazing! 😃

This looks utterly amazing. I wish that Plarail didn't change the design of James because if it was the old one it would be the perfect set

sunhuntin

its based on the original james from the railway stories, so essentually it is the "old one" lol.

keen to get this set, but who knows when. lol

DalaGStanator

He means James' physical design, not his livery.

Yes it's the new type 2015 James with the pre sodor livery for those playing at home 🙂 very late to do TAB line of toys but I understand Japan gets everything a year or so late. What was the last Thomas train or livery to be a plarail exclusive? I'm thinking Marion but what was the one before that?

And eBay, on eBay they would be about $50, did you get one muddy?

Well, I tried the FromJapan method to have them place the order. I am awaiting a quote now from them. I will post back on what happens.

Someone PLEASE let me know when one of these pops up again for less than 55 USD total. Sending this from my phone quick sfter hearing its a Toys R Us exclusive and preorders are sold out. Really upsetting after what I've been thru this week. (Phone didn't vibrate for a Pinsir on a highway, History test is practically a 3-page essay in one hour, and Web 2.0 only gets worse worh each project we're assigned)

Charge 1 payment processed using FromJapan. Now, baring that the order is not cancelled or they tell me they cannot get the item, then it should be all set.

The item was listed on the Toys R us site at 3699¥. The total a was around 4194¥ after the commission fee, but them I got a 10% discount (currently running on FomJapan, thanks Nigel!) so after that, the total was 3900¥. So now it is just waiting on the Charge 2 payment that includes the shipping. Will let you know more when I do.

Looking forward to hearing more about your process Ripley. I am curious as to why they aren't showing the price as 3994yen (with tax) as it is listed on the web page. So far, the way it looks is, you are getting the set from them for less than cost with no Fees or Commission, awesome, in a good way.

The From Japan shopping service is pretty good if you want something from a retailer rather than off an auction. I've used it to get various items from Amazon.co.jp that I'd missed on pre-order from hobbysearch and it often works out cheaper this way as you avoid HS's astronomical shipping charges. If you get from Amazon.co.jp themselves you also usually get free local shipping (Amazon Prime) as well 😃

Don't know how long ago this was posted but it appears that Toys R Us has stopped taking pre-orders for this set scheduled to release this Friday.

I am hoping my "shopping services" order using FromJapan goes through, but I think I did it after the reservation closed. Maybe they have another way to source one?

Wouldn't it be great if the next Limited Edition release was a Plarail Flying Scotsman? I would love to deface him with a smokebox door for a real look.
