Harvey re-release

gordonfan01

I was scrolling through the internet when I found a 2018 plarail set with Harvey, Marion, and the pointless character Barrisford. The last time we saw Harvey Was in 2014 when he was released with a yellow power car. I have two gripes with this set... The first being the inclusion of Marion, as Harvey and Barrisford are both cranes I feel that instead of including Marion the set should have included Rocky as he is also a crane. My second gripe is Barrisford, he is a pointless character who got very little screen time, instead of including Barrisford plarail should have included Cranky. Cranky is a more well known character and is some one who I would have preferred. Apart from this the set is great, does anyone else have thoughts on this set???? :huh:

The Gordon way is the best way... Keep on chuggin' 😃

to this day, I still try to understand the relationship between Barrisford, Harvey and Marion. I don't recall all three characters appear in the same movie or episode.

Yes, as much as I appreciate any new characters smiling face to add to our collection, and as useless as Breseford is, I was still excited to see a new character. However to have to buy a another Harvey & Marion to get him was a blatant repackaging ploy to dump existing old stock off just for profit.

yea just sell your surplus characters on ebay. I probably have over 10 Thomas in my collection. I scrapped at least half of them for parts and harvested the motors.
