thomas and friends mini series

I have all my playsets (except the batcave) still in box, of course with engines removed carefully and they are in a large box in the office. I don't know what to do with them, but if the pop up is fun, I might bring one home and let my son play with it. Otherwise they will be sold or donated or traded.

Batcave is not in the box because that was the only one I opened and took home, my son loved it, but when engines started getting caught in the "elevator" spiral lift, he got bored.

I would say it's just the transformer-like ability to open and close the pop-up set that my oldest really digs. which I can see. They are pretty basic and don't do much, I was a bit surprised how much they played given how little you can really do with them.

The motorized raceway is the truly nice toy. It's a bit loud, but that's the worst I could say about it. I had 4 kids on the weekend crowding around it on the weekend cramming engines into it.

We had the same problem with the elevator snagging certain trains and I found that toy to be very obnoxious. I gave the non-batman one away to my nephew.
