v8eatrice Does anyone know whether Talk 'n' Action Percy and James were sold in Australia? Growing up, the only Talk 'n' Action items I ever bought here, because it was all I ever found in stores, were: -TnA Magic Rail Set -Talking Thomas and Harold Adventure Set (Also how much would this set go for now? Haven't seen one online complete with box; trying to value mine) -Talk 'n' Action Thomas
v8eatrice Really? I never saw them in store, neither have I seen one of the two pop up on Australian eBay. Muddy Poppins wrote A T’nA Talking Harold set just recently sold for around $65 usd. No, not that set, this one:
drew5195 I did wonder the same in NZ but I did find TnA percy in my local area last year in NZ so I do have bit hope TnA James does show up in my local area facebook marketplace or on NZ auction site. I seen thomas plenty times. I seen Percy 2 times but nothing seen James yet.
DuckGWR Here are some early 2000s online listings- I have not found any for James, for what its worth. Interestingly, seems you could get Percy over in Germany. I assume this is the UK English one.

So you were the one who won that junk lot that came up for sale on eBay, must say myself, didn't expect it to go for that much but congratulations on the find!

Ah, were you the other person bidding on it? I must say, it did go for quite a bit, but I guess it sort of turned out in the end, finally have one of the engines that has been on the wanted list for a long time. Apart from practically everything having a broken drive wheel gear, they worked pretty well apart from the TnA Thomas (He still had batteries in there and they looked as if they had been there since 2003, and a broken "on/off" switch in the back). I already have 2 UK Thomas's, so I'm not really mad, but I want to get a move on with repairing him. If you're looking for a TNA James, I literally just saw this come up on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Tomy-Trackmaster-Thomas-Friends-JOB-LOT-WITH-TRAILERS-FOR-SPARES-REPAIRS/174612022241
