Hi, I looked for one of these locos last year as well. I could not find it anywhere, and wondered if it was even made?
It was made, reportedly in very low quantities. I too am on the hunt for this locomotive. And when I asked Joey at Nicholas Smith Trains about it last year, he mentioned they only received 3 of them.
That plus the fact it was produced in traditional red/green Christmas colors -- as opposed to the blue/burgundy/gold color scheme more commonly used on the Polar RR rolling stock -- made it extremely popular.
One sold on eBay for $540 (new) a couple of months ago -- which is somewhat meaningless 'cause it's only one data point. But expect to pay for this jewel if you can find one... especially now that it's Christmas season, which makes it even more desirable.
