Title: G3 Trolley versions.... difference?
Post by: PitterPatter on July 16, 2016, 03:59:25 PM

Hi,

So I have learnt there are numbered versions of Trolley and then there is the "Version 2.0" set. What is the difference? Is there a difference in price if I want to get one?

Does Frisco have the same double issue?

Thanks!

After the fair, the leftover, numbered out of 200 Trolleys were oversold, because of an issue with inventory(they thought they had another full box, but it turned out when they opened the box, those were the rejected ones or something, if I remember correctly?)

So since the fair staff(not the same staff as now) had already sold those Trolleys on the boards, they asked the buyers which they would rather have: a refund, or a non-numbered version of Trolley labeled 2.0, that way it would be distinguishable from the 200 numbered ones.  Some of us(I was one of them) chose the 2.0, and only a handful were sold as Trolley 2.0, only to those who had already been promised a Trolley, so that way they stayed limited. :)

Price wise, there are so few Trolleys they all go for about the same amount, on the rare occasions one shows up for sale.  There was no 2.0 versions of Frisco, because they didn't have the same issue with her. :)

That's really interesting.  I'd never heard of there being numbered and the 2.0 until yesterday.

So how many of each version are there? 200 numbered and 50 2.0 ones? Less?

I dont think we actually know the concrete total of the 2.0 version. Original Fair Staff may but its a long time ago so it could be asking a lot of them to remember. :)

All I recall about it being mentioned is that there were hardly any of the 2.0, perhaps closer to 20-30ish.
