All Engines Go NEWS

Still no sign of AEG in Poland.

I have been looking for months now and I have not seen a single greatest moments pack here.Not a single one in any physical store.
Oddly I have been seeing a lot of trackmaster packaging instead of the thomas motorized packaging.

Every single store has almost the exact same stuff.

Supply chain crisis possibly? Or does Poland get new releases later?

Just look at the thomas section in Auchan: The parts circled in red are the only pieces of thomas merch in the entire store.

(photo is not too good as many people were walking around and it would be awkward, had to do undercover photography)




Also found this factory error nia in thomas' packaging

How is carly going to fit into tunnels? Thanks to her crane arm, she will probably get stuck under bridges and tunnels, at least older ones

No reason to worry. She will easily pass under bridges and through tunnels: she will put down her crane arm and transport it on her trailer. 

I... did not expect that to say the least...

New Push Alongs:

Special Edition Characters (Gold, Rainbow & Muddy Engines)



Brake Car Bruno



First non-powered rail character - a caboose without the front hook?

rainbow thomas is cute. the faces on the muddy ones remind of that bit in "kung fu panda" with the acupuncture needles...

Why is mattel releasing so many gold/shiny thomases? The 75 anniversary celebrations are over.

They are releasing them because they think they will sell them well. And they probably will. 

To be fair, I really like gold thomas from that 4 pack with james percy and Gordon.
However, gold engines used to be something extremely rare. This would show they are reserved for very special occasions and are therefore "prestigious".

I understand people like gold engines (so do I) they sell well (if marketed correctly),  but when you use it too much, it becomes common and stops feeling "special" if you get what I mean.

[Super]

Now I am not interested in these at all nor would I buy any but I do like the looks of that Caboose but it does seem strange that it has no hook.
