It is a ridiculous oversight by Lionel. They could make a 5 pack of elves and we would all be ordering 20 - 40 packs to fill out our North Poles. There are a lot of PE North Pole replicas being made every year, some year-round. I think PE elves is a "No-Brainer".
For now, I make due using Hawthorne Village elves. They are a nice size and have a familiar look.
