Blue Plastic Tracks

Surely they'll soon be offering a power-launcher and a loop-the-loop add-on?

This is a "rebooted" product. It seems they already produced some straight extension tracks before, as can be seen in THIS video.

Also, kids could drive these Power Wheels without the tracks (under supervision of parents/guardian, it may be added), as can be seen HERE.

If I were a kid, I would have stopped breathing until my face turns blue, if mom and dad wouldn't want to buy me this! 😁

New Push Along Pack: Thomas & Percy Friendship Engines


"One for you & one for me" - I like the idea. 😊

Plarail GOGO Thomas Percy Diesel Kana Friends Set

Release Date: 29 December 2022
Price: YEN 4400 


So, for now, the GOGO Thomas series can only be purchased in sets. In the two released sets (Loop Set and Map Set) you get two (different) powered Thomases. In this set you get the rest of the team, with interchangeable cases. You can connect them, but unpowered engines can't go through the loop. 

In my opinion, Diesel and Kana resemble their "originals" from the TV series, but Thomas and Percy do not (just compare the picture of Percy's model and the character from the series below). They look kind of squashed, and they also have a lot of stickers (windows, sides).








Description (Machine translation):

• Thomas anime characters Percy, Kana, Diesel vehicle set.
  
• You can play by connecting Kana and Diesel to the power car Percy and running on the rails of Plarail.
  
• Percy's power chassis can be replaced with Kana or Diesel.
  
• With one power vehicle, you can run the course of "Gurutto Somersault! Exciting Playland" (sold separately).
  
• You cannot run "Waku Waku Play Land" while connected.
  
• [Battery] AA alkaline battery x 1 (sold separately)

It's Push Along set, but what is that really?

i am surrpise whiff makes a come back.  it will be interesting to see what other charcters will come back.  perhaps spencer?

as for the cranky, i am surprise it doesn't come with a hook.  how can Cranky actually grab the cargo that comes with the set with the claw?

the boxcar comes with the talking diesel looks like but it doesn't look like it has a sliding door.

push along color changers remind me of the cars die cast line having color changers too

The sad thing is many of these products people living in forgotten territories like EU won't even see... So I'm asking: what is the point of releasing 1000 new products that can be bought exclusively in Malaysia, Turkey (Turkey has every AEG product you can think of), some grocery store in Alabama, and in some other countries from which no one else can order these products, because they do not ship, for example, to EU countries? (We don't have Targets & such and can't order from them...)

Here in the European Union, almost half of the AEG products released so far still can't be bought anywhere, we cannot buy them (there is only one set I can buy localy, and 5 or 6 Pushalongs so far), and we cannot order them from privileged countries like Turkey (because they do not ship anywhere except to customers in their countries), and if something is found on the American Amazon, the shipping price for the EU is regularly three times higher than the price of the product itself (+VAT). By the way, there is a similar problem with Amazon Japan regarding Plarail: Amazon Japan doesn't ship anything to my country at all: I can't order anything there. Why is everyone boycotting Europe??

I suppose there are other countries (beside the EU countries) encountering the same problem... So the question is: Why are they releasing products that half the world can't even buy??  😃😶👎

Side note: Is it so difficult to make a front coupling for PA Kana as well as for all other engines?
