Released in 2008 and retired in 2010, the Thomas Starter Set, a Duplo Thomas and Friends licensed release with a Sir Topham Hatt Duplo figure and locomotive elements, benefits from franchise retirement and constrained supply, and it attracts both LEGO and Thomas collectors while trading on thin market depth and condition sensitivity.
