Is the Take along gold Thomas rare?

Take along gold Thomas?
Is this item the equivalent to a Tomy gold Thomas and was it a limited edition item?
I am asking this because I found one for more than a steal!
If there are any Take along users here who can tell me a bit more about this item it would be much appreciated

I'm not a take along user but I do know that it is very rare and only 333 exist.  (Could I have a link to the listing?)  If it's for a good price BUY IT before it's too late!

same, maybe there is an avid Take along user on BPT who would be more interested. It seems like a sort of holy grail with only 333 made :D
