As a collector from Asia, i can confirm that Oliver, just like any other character I can remember he was basically everywhere, as a toy should, which is a good point to put out.

Yeah I have 2 I bought for like $30,it was in okay condition but everything was at least intact.

If you need the tomy oliver restored I suggest getting in touch with custom trackmasters. He's amazing at restoring old Tomy Thomas toys.

He definitely should do this! Let’s get that comment a bunch of likes so Trainboy sees this

I don’t like most of his restorations, since the stickers aren’t 1:1. But I do have all of the Plarail decals scanned. I could give a link.

I was lucky to be able to get Oliver, complete with coaches, new in box for about $80 back in 2013. Also, isn’t odd how he comes with the red coaches (which I consider to be Dulcie and Isabel) while Duck comes with SC Ruffey and Toad? Should be the other way around

I can say Oliver isn't rare, but he's really hard to find in good condition or a good price I remember getting mine for £35 to £40 which was a dub But oliver isn't rare, he's just overpriced especially when all fucked up There's others that are rare like bertram Powerful Gordon Douglas (Tomy) And especially Alfie

[@TTTEoliverFan]

I just realized the reason scruffy and toad weren’t paired with Oliver was because Tomy didnt want to make them exclusive, also because they probably would have sold the most in the US

I know one other rare trackmaster item, Alfie Alfie is extremely rare because he's almost never EVER seen on Ebay, and whenever he is he goes for a crazy price for up to $1000

I'm from south east Asia, and I remember in around 2011 when I bought plarail oliver with my mom when I was around 6 at a toy store in the mall. I remember loving that ugly thing, playing him with duck, recreating the episodes, and regretting breaking him and losing him in around 2014. He's pretty hard to find now at a decent price, and the ones I found for cheap were sold fast like hot cakes.

[@7GRANDAD7]

a detail I noticed in the thumbnail is that Oliver has side rods. but the Oliver in the thumbnail is The same one we saw in this video (you can tell by the windows) so that means trainboy somehow got Oliver his own side rods (probably from a spare Edward).

I have a Tomy Oliver in pretty good condition. It's a pretty great Tomy toy, but it is not worth over hundreds of dollars. $40 to $50 maybe, but not $100 or more.

[@BillandBenProductions6792]

YOU’RE SO FREAKING LUCKY TO GET A TOMY OLIVER, I don’t know why he looked so damaged when you got your Tomy Oliver, I really wanted to get a Tomy Oliver but I can’t afford it, I don’t know why Tomy Oliver was never sold in US but only in the UK and Japan, I wish Plarail rereleased Duck and Oliver back in 2015 because Duck returned to the CGI series in 2013 and Oliver returned to the CGI series in 2014 and the part where Rosie tried to chase the engines running was so cute.

I didn't really care about Oliver when I collected a few Tomy Plarail/Tomica World trains (Thomas, James, and this cool R/C set I will mention here) during my early childhood years in the late 90s and very early 2000s (til 2002 I say). I don’t think Oliver was rare or unique like the Tomica World 7436 R/C set featuring the Japanese 300 Series Shinkansen train (I wish I would've never broken that permanently coupled set) and a controller similar to that of Densha de Go game controller and the Raildriver train sim controller which I have today. This set being a remote controlled set makes it somehow a precursor to the Fisher Price GeoTrax trains of the 2000s and later HO scale compatible Marklin MyWorld sets. If you ever find yourself getting deeper into Tomy Plarail stuff, I'd recommend reviewing this set.
