    As a Tomy/Plarail/Trackmaster fan, it’s so sad and almost frustrating that they’re sold at unreasonable prices. You’re telling me that I can never get a Tomy Donald and Douglas set with two pieces of plastic shaped like mini snowplows under $950, or an Oliver under $150??? And I’m only talking about some of the ‘not rare’ ones… the real rare ones like TM Hector are just plain impossible to find. I wish people would sell them at reasonable prices…

    Trackmaster Douglas is expensive because he was never released singularly by Tomy himself. He was only release in the winter snowplow set or whatever. At least that's what google said. But I still don't know if that's reasonable or not. :)

There was once a listing for a single Nerf dart, those things that you can buy in 20 packs for $10, that was listed as 1 million USD at one point. So that could be what's going on with some of these.
