ERTL - TOAD - Thomas & Friends Metal Diecast Railway Train

This listing is for the Thomas & Friends ERTL Diecast range's Toad. Released in the UK initially in 1985, this line featured 1/64 scale die-cast models and playsets based off of the characters from The Railway Series and its television counterpart. Many characters that were trains, cars, tenders, helicopters and even people were miniaturized and became collectible items as well as toys. Since being discontinued in 2004, the interest in these has only increased, with some characters becoming increasingly hard to find, albeit in good condition. The goal of this listing is to make these not only accessible again, but to make it convenient to find any and all characters. This listing is updated frequently with new stock so that whether its for a birthday gift, stocking stuffer, or for yourself, you can always find that one character you're looking for. As this listing is for a specific character or model, it is meant to show the defects that may be present. As a result of their age, most characters will have some paint chipping, broken connector or defect. Any defect will be noted below, and price fairly based on their condition. Prices will also be determined by rarity and market value. Here is a list of issues for each option: 1. Paint chipping 2. Paint chipping, broken rear connector 3.
