WHY ARE DOUGLAS (& Donald) SO EXPENSIVE?! | Tons Talks S8•E3 | (ドナルド)

[@trainsRawesome]

Douglas’s original face was simply perfect, what FP did was criminal

[@TonsOfTrackmasters]

THANK YOU! 🙏

[@TTTEoliverFan]

100% dude

[@Pipp_YT]

I got FP Donald and Douglas, and I am proud to have them because I never had Douglas

[@darzlingz]

FP did do a crime

[@Pipp_YT]

​@@TonsOfTrackmasterssike, I now have Tomy Donald and Douglas

[@ItsCarlos563]

I'm actually surprised and confused on why they are so expensive, thanks for explaining this Tons and Sam.

[@cappynintendo]

I remember finding a Trackmaster Douglas at a Salvation Army. I knew I had to get it and I got it! I still have it today! The only problem was that there was no front coupling on his tender but I was still glad I got him.

[@TonsOfTrackmasters]

THAT IS AWESOME!! I've personally been looking all around charity shops for stuff and my biggest score was a MR&R boxed cranky at the docks set lol, back to douglas, You can unscrew the tender, pop on a coupling from another tender/truck and screw it back on

[@YtZeKoopa2011]

I once got a box of 2009 Fp stuff at a garage sale last week. Best thing in there was a Non working Rc Thomas, But it doesn’t even compare to what you guys found!

[@uktrain9646]

This is what made me be even more proud to be born and live in the UK, Douglas (way back in 2006) was very easy to find. My mum took me to my local toy shop and said I can buy 2 Tomy models with my b/day money. So originally I was going to get Spencer and Salty, I saw them and before I grabbed them I looked to the right next to Salty, there was DOUGLAS. So I chose not to get Spencer and Salty, instead I bought Douglas along with Donald (At last I had both Scottish engines and I still have the very Donald & Douglas to this day).

[@LuigiLaitinen]

Well, that’s really nice to hear.

[@TTTEoliverFan]

I got a mint condition Hit toys Douglas and Plarail Bill for less than 100$, idk how 🤷‍♂️. I have the fake Chinese Douglas too, and I absolutely LOVE Douglas’s original face of the Hit and Tomy models

[@damianhendriks6162]

2:15 stupid Plarail, they also cancelled Bill, Daisy and, back in the late 90s, ALL THE NARROW GAUGE ENGINES!

[@ximenaandtheslashers1320]

I wish I could have some of the Thomas and friends awesome merchandises and same with TUGS. Why must they be so *expensive- just why*

[@johnshoepack]

I like how "Eight Days a Week" by the Beatles played in the background in the beginning.

[@TonsOfTrackmasters]

banger of a song, that.

[@johnshoepack]

@@TonsOfTrackmasters One of the best by the Beatles

[@TonsOfTrackmasters]

@@johnshoepack absolutely

[@joshuaW5621]

It’s funny how when Plarail does twin characters, they sell one of them individually but make the other exclusive to a playset, making them much more expensive. What’s ridiculous is the fact they did Splatter and Dodge together with a coach to connect both of them together while the others are complete and utter scams. Thankfully we got Douglas and Bill in 2006.

[@TonsOfTrackmasters]

Yes, definitely. We should be glad that they didn't touch arry and Bert lol

[@WesternOhioInterurbanHistory]

I remember seeing him in a Target in the Chicago area in either 2012 or 2011 for a normal price.

[@Laniebug1]

Great video I’ve always wondered why they didn’t just release Donald and Douglas together other then in an expensive set. Also they are pretty expensive.

[@TonsOfTrackmasters]

My thoughts exactly

[@Pipp_YT]

​@@TonsOfTrackmasterswhich is why I'm glad I recently got Tomy Donald and Douglas for £54 plus postage! :)

[@TankEngineMedia]

It kinda sucks that I can’t be able to get Donald or Douglas because they’re both so expensive, same thing goes for Oliver (trackmaster) though I could be wrong

[@ThomasSirHandel]

Well there's the knock off-versions which is cheaper which are based on the 2012 models.

[@amitysluzara2022]

Donald and Douglas always seem to be really expensive for some reason. TWR is way too expensive too

[@Libyan_Islamist]

Maybe because they are mostly loved characters

[@ItsDelano]

I just saw a used plarail donald and douglas with snowplows, it didnt come with the box, also no track, not even the accessories and literally even an exclusion of the works unit coach, listed price was £600.00

[@TheTOMYRemaker]

It's really weird that Donald & Douglas are expensive... Glad to have them both in HiT Toys trackmaster (bought them in 2016 for, 20 or 30 dollars both?). Good video Tons.

[@StumpyFunnel]

me with 2006 Donald and Douglas:

[@bladeobrian2144]

Ah, I remember back in the long ago year of 2009, 14 year old me was visiting family in Great Falls Montana, and I just so happened chance upon both twins for $10 each at the local Walmart! Still have them to this day!

[@PlayDontPause]

How does that even happen? Like...Donald and Douglas are literally clones from a design perspective.

[@ItsDelano]

This is why i bought the trackmaster fisher price douglas, even if my cousin gave me a tomy motor road and rail douglas, but i have lost it, he also gave him to me with neville's tender anyways

[@mr.c.railway]

I actually live in the US and I have a pair of each of the twins from my childhood one being my set and the others being my cousins set

[@fanofblueshockey107]

Oh my goodness it’s eight days a week by The Beatles playing in the background

[@SadFairlie]

I had a 2012 Douglas, but 2-year old me lost his tender, painted him, threw away his chassis, and destroyed him. (i subsequently restored him using a coach's chassis and a TM2 tender.)

[@WilliamMacDougal-Scotland]

0:14 FINE GIVE ME DONALD

[@MrTrackmaster]

1:16 that's why my pfp is literally just Arthur's promo pic.

[@forgetheftfgamer808]

Douglas is the last motor road and rail engine I need and it’s so hard finding one cause people pounce on them (i live in Australia)

[@Libyan_Islamist]

Same

[@calibgardner7187]

hi , its me cone! im on my college account as of typing this! i actually thought id come say to ya that i bought a tomy donald and douglas from ebay, for £50! which is a W find if you ask me

[@thepurplemyth]

Hey tons.. the war is on! Fr nice video lol

[@Gigantic_RailBuilds17]

Let’s not forget that Donald was the first engine to use a flat type drive unit

[@TomyTrackmasterCam28]

I got really lucky with finding a Tomy Douglas. I searched eBay for 4/5 months and found one for 50 bucks. But, he did not come with his tender. I made one out of a Henry tender with some pieces cut off and painted black.

[@ColleenOReilly-s9v]

[@TonsOfTrackmasters]

[@edwardthefurnessk2633]

Let’s see this video

[@klipsfilmsmelbourne]

so does capsule though capsule is making non wind up versions

[@YtZeKoopa2011]

How much is hit toy Douglas? I just bought one today for $25

[@Pipp_YT]

if you wanted to, you could legit take one of your donalds, and take off the stickers, and replace them with douglas' decals, then youd have a sorta cheaper version of him lol

[@merlinandmurdoch7837]

You reckon the value will go down on the new toys? Or the will the new ones also be overpriced on resale.

[@Libyan_Islamist]

1:56 I really do hope they get a redesign under the motorized branch (which I honestly doubt but haven’t lost hope)

[@juanignaciogamer717]

0:22 -AAAAAAHH…

[@melakaball]

Ironically and luckily I just found plarail Donald (without tender) packed in plastic in about 1.39 USD (RM 6) just in a store that sells japanese second hand bundles in Malaysia

[@FortheloveofThomas84]

I used to have the Hit Trackmaster Donald and Douglas but they're being sold

[@Gigantic_RailBuilds17]

I’m actually on the hunt for these 2 the hit toy or the tomy ones because the 2012 ones I have well motors are dying and don’t like the quality of them having the same face.

[@greentankengine]

there is another difference that you missed, at least from my knowledge, the tony Donald and Douglas have a nice matte finish while the hit toys have just a regular plastic that is used on all the other characters.

[@gustavotata880]

I don't know I bought the version of take along I think, Im from argentina and both came from TAIWAN, there are nice trains, I like the structure

[@savagegardenfan9680]

I'll never understand why Plarail/Motor Road and Rail or Trackmaster never released the Twin Character Together (with the Exception of Trackmaster Bash and Dash).

[@joshuaW5621]

What’s strange is that they released Splatter and Dodge in a pack together. Why didn’t they do the same with the Caledonian or clay twins?

[@savagegardenfan9680]

@@joshuaW5621 Perhaps Donald and Doulgas are too big for a pack togather (unless it's like that Diesel and Freight Pack) But mabey they could and had Bill and Ben Together.

Makes me regret not getting him, I live in Asia where douglas is as rare as a pearl, while Oliver Is as common as can be, I missed my. Chance to get a battered version of him for 15 dollars and now live with the pain of knowing it will be a long while before I find a douglas again
