thomas and friends mini series

i dont know if italy will get others or not... i would assume so.

jdog, do you have any info?

I'm aware that Fisher-Price is quite rubbish at product distribution to countries like most of those in Europe and South America, and there's only a limited selection. I'm sure that all 83 blind bagged engines will come to Italy but unfortunately, I think it take a very long period of time that could extend to early next year.


So we're all aware of most of the new images of the engines and the Launchers? I really like the look of the Sweets, Graffiti, and Electric engines more than ever now. Stanley looks like how I imagined he would. Racing Percy with all those little logos on him look awesome as does Spooky Edward. Some were a little bit hard to take in since we're so used to seeing the engines from all those previous themes. I found Rosie as Supergirl a little creepy since there was something about Rosie's face and Supergirl's colours are a lot different to Rosie's. Pretty pleased about the launchers too.

There seems to be another co-branding happening here but this time it's with Tootsie Roll candies. Instead of a picture of Double Bubble Gordon, we saw a Fruit Chews Henry, plus a picture of Blow Pop James surfaced. I think it's strange to see it happen when the Sweets theme is happening as well, like how there was Heroes and DC Super Friends. The other thing I'm confused about is that people in other countries aren't going to be familiar with Tootsie Roll unlike the US, and to me it looks like these aren't going to be exclusive to the US.

Does anyone know of any actual track sets (other than the Twist & Turn set) in the pipeline?

I reckon we'll see something at New York Toy Fair next Feb.
