He's pretty hard to find now at a decent price, and the ones I found for cheap were sold fast like hot cakes.

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.
