TMR Blue Team Thomas

They've lowered quality since the Tomica world thomas series went out of buisness. Trackmaster had lost it's fame, and then Fisher-Price (a great kid's toy company) brought this. I was about to buy a TMR James earlier from Kohls, and then I said no for the good of both my thomas collection and for my wallet.
Quality over the years in order from greatest to least (in my opinion): Plarail, Tomica world, Track master, and (Last and least) TMR. What happened to quality over quanity? It should increase ion quality, no decreased!!!
I AM NOT DEAD. Just inactive.

Why are you confused Super? It's just relating to the episode title.
Easy pass for me, this is sad there's been nothing of note released lately apart from Phillip and real steam that interests me.

Yeesh, I don't think I've seen new versions of Annie and Clarabel coming out with stickers as the main source of decoration since the late 80s or early 90s. I thought I wouldn't see completely sticker-detailed rolling stock again after ERTLs went out of production.
I have a website where I have been writing about and photographing many of the sets and pieces that I find interesting.

Its the way its worded that looks like its a Red Thomas vs a Blue Thomas. I am not familiar with the episodes. That being said, anyone like to see a red Thomas?

I'm sure my son would! His favorite color is red so that would be a must have for him. Although I too am a little tired if different variations of the same engine. I am happy for Philip he will be a great addition Smile.

Today we picked up a Trackmaster Fearless Freddie and Samson. We also scored a criss cross junction expansion pack for $3.00!! Score!!

I'm not familiar with the episodes either That's why I spoiler tagged the episode title since I personally don't want to know the names of too many upcoming episodes and others might either. I wait for their local broadcasts/releases.

Not TrackMaster, but here's a factory error red Wooden Railway Thomas for you!

I don't like the Annie and Clarabel either. I'm fine with trucks being short but TrackMaster Revolution coaches certainly don't fit in. It reminds me of the Motorized Railway Annie from this set:

is that....complete side stickers for Annie and Clarabel and is the roof too....what? Don't you know these trains are played with by children......Huh?....Stop it!

You have no idea how much I agree. Plus, for the first time in forever, someone acknowledges the real reason for those holes.

Yes, children tend to be somewhat rough and peel stickers off (I know I myself used to do so at the time), and then they get crude little boxcars at the expense of Annie and Clarabel, for example.
