The large Trevor model comes with Thomas and a truck, and the string attached him to either the front of the truck or back of thomas. I think. I'm telling this from memory, because I did have that piece.
THOMAS BRACES!!!! I HAVE/HAD those somewhere!!! I too LOVE Thunderbirds- miss that series and the toys I had too! Interesting mystery prize- reminds me- I have to get cracking on more entries for that... Great video!
The Trevor with the string was apart of a pull-back-release kinda toys. Trevor would be on a tram behind Thomas. If you pulled back Trevor then Thomas zooms.
@CalleyFan thanks, and this explains why it is devoid of who made it, sounds like it was the slave of a two part toy i thought it was Tomy as it had all the classic traits of Tomy stuff, strong colour and good design
thank you for showing us your collection :) i very much enjoyed looking at it :) looking forward to seeing your Thunderbirds collection even though i am too young to have seen the show :/
@TMRReturns the toby prize has taken a fair bit of time to pull together, finding the mint in box ERTL stuff was a very lucky find at a model railway show I went to i'm a Toby fan, he's seems so realistic to me
The TWR Skarloey was recalled back in 2007 but if the engine has the code with the letters ‘WJ’ or ‘AZ’ then it’s fine. Just something you might want to know!
3:05, I actually had the large Trevor that was part of a Thomas and Trevor set. You had to pull back Trevor (who was on a low loader) in order to whoosh both characters forward. I no longer own them. :( 6:57, I have the "fatty" Thomas which I found at a car boot sale but didn't contain the stamp. I'd personally like to own the Bertie at 4:33 and James 6:33. I really want the soft toy Harold at 10:14, looks quite cute, having the urge now!
Trevor - The wood breaking is not rare to see as it is usually happens when the wood begins to decay(after many years) and possible something got stuck between the front wheels I put clay for tracks and the train got stuck in it and then I tried removing it after it got hard and then that happened.
that trevor reminded me. i had a wooden range Neville. hours after i got him, his front buffer beam broke. luckily i had a black marker to color over that, but it doesn't look the same
Nice collection Leo! That wooden trevors old owner was no Jem Cole was he? Oh, and a little fun fact about the hornby thomas. The hornby range of Thomas products was based mostly on the trains you would see in real life, giving it more of a railway series (the original books) feeling to it. Thomas' real engine class is a London E2 0-6-0 tank engine :)
I'm a thunderbirds fan too and I'm a teenager right now. Oh and by the way, those ERTL trains bring back so many memories, I'm really sad they discontinued the ERTL toy range.
I got some Thomas Ertl and I have a couple vintage items you're pretty cool I even have a 1995 Tickle Me Elmo working I got him in the package for Christmas
i have the small tomy thomas and it appears in my thomas entry for the mini me contest. what i know about it is that it comes from a vending machine a few years ago and there were henry , edward , james and toby models as well
Hey, Leo, I think I know why Duck and Duncan are heavier. It's because they are probably mid 2000's take-along toys while Dart and Belle are very new. I say this because the old take alongs are metal while the new ones are plastic. Also, I agree with you on the ruling about the Hornby thomas being the "odd man out" as while it may be the better value for money as already stated by Simierski, they just don't get the feel that the Bachmann toys get.
Reminder from literally 2024: Both Duck and Duncan are from 2002, two of the 14 take along engines are, Donald, Douglas and Diesel 10 are also from 2002 with D initial btw
Another fantastic video! I like that little thomas you have, the one you compared to the pez thomas. I actualy have an Edward from that collection, i have never been able to work out what thier purpose was! I also have the little roller James, his eyes are facing forwards, like yours! Another thing i have that may be of some interest to you is two boulders! I have one that came with a trackmaster set and one i found, and don't know the purpose of!!
The metal rollers James has his eyes slightly up on purpose. He was always the ego one in the show, proud people also look upwards, so same thing applies to trains. (maybe? :D) The tomy tomas on the circular track display base is actually a Gashapon one. Or ball machines, if you call them that. It costs 100 yen, but the coin in, turn, and out comes your toy in a ball. there were 7 different designs i belie. I remember owning Percy and thomas. Gashapon toys are worth alot, so they would be pricy
That tomy thomas at 9:33 was actually a prototype for some capsule thomas stamps that I had when I was small. Thomas, Edward, Gordon and a battered Toby stamp survive but James and Percy have been lost on my 'adventures'. :)
the wooden take along set was, i guess, inspired by the plastic set that was once created along time ago. 6:08 Holy Cap the detail! Must search for its sources I wish I had the ertle Thomas again!
As for that collection of Thunderbirds you've got, I've still got a Tracy Island play set which had Thunderbirds 1, 2, 3 & 4, though sadly it and the 'Birds aren't in the best of conditions nowadays as I was a bit rough on some of my older toys when I was a kid (poor Tyrannosaurus Dinozord from my original DX MMPR Megazord in 1993 has had a busted hip for over a decade now for example).
@ThomastheE2engine i have a feeling in a years time the Thomas collection will be massive, I still need to find a Bachmann Thomas, where I live they are always sold out, the Hornby Thomas is dime a dozen and super easy to find.
I used to have the tracy island but moving house i had to give it away. but i do have all of the models exept for the mole. we all love to watch the episodes too. :)
Looking at the size of your collection of legit Thomas toys, I'm very surprised I can't see any HO/OO Bachmann Thomas engines and only 1 Hornby Thomas in there! Then again, I've still got my Hornby HO Thomas from back in the 90's and actually like him as he doesn't seem to be too squashed unlike the bulk of the other Thomas toys out there, and matches the old models more than anything else. -Thunderbirds-themed post coming up next-
@kkehoe5 and a very rare vlog style voice over, dangerous for me as I am always stuttering or fluffing words and naming things wrong thats why I am fail at he tube most of my uploads have the audio recorded later on, this was live
Thunderbirds is a kick ass show! I liked everything about that show especially the fact that Alan Tracy and Tintin kyrano are a couple. Too bad they didn't make an episode where they get married. Special thanks once again to century 21 productions and for Gerry Anderson for creating the future machines(i.e, thunderbirds 1,2,3,4,5, the Ocean Pioneer ships, fireflash, the crab logger etc) realistic looking puppets( i.e. Scott Tracy, Gordon Tracy lady penelope etc) and an awesome tv show!
i have that james from 6:55 it was in my mini-me thomas video entry! i also have thomas, and percy models which was also shown in my other contest entry.
Hmm, never seen a Wooden toy so damaged as that Trevor. The worst I have is a Duncan with chipped paint (it's been under the dryer for years :-P). Also about the roller toys, I don't think the eyes make much difference. The different Plarail engines have their eyes looking all over the place (some left, some right, straight, up, down, etc.).
@Zaphodraptor solution for you if you win sell the bachmann toby on e-bay..! the contest is the now out of control "mini me" contest, where you can have a stab at grabbing some very tiny HO powered Pez Thomas toys I made as the prize and a bunch of Bachmann stuff
Funny thing is I guessed the heavier of the two take-n-Play toys :P. Must admit, though, I love the Hornby Thomas, but compared to the bright, bold blue of the other Thomas', that one just doesn't fit in and makes it just stick out like a sore thumb
Actually to solve the mystery of the Take 'n' Play weights, just check the dates (sorry for the rhyme) as Simierski showed in his conversion video, the Den and Dart, and possibly Belle models are more plastic due to later production, hence- cheaper- and on collections, do you have a shampoo bottle thomas, they're just like the whistle one.
hello! My 3 year old has just discovered your videos and is now obsessed. We watch your channel on repeat all day long on our TV. He especially likes this video. On the wooden travel set, he seemed so interested in it that we had to go out and find it! We found it for 39.99 at 'Toys R Us' online. It says it's a 'Toys R Us' Exclusive. It was delivered today and he loves it. When it is closed you can set it on the table and it lines up with the thomas bridges and hills for the wooden track.
The Hornby Thomas is one of the few that looks right, as he would have been an Southern E2 tank engine like the Hornby model. Shame he had to be squashed over the years into a cartoon like character, rather than a steam machine that had a job to do. I was a fan of Thunderbirds as a kid when they re-ran the show on ITV. My dad was also a fan when he was a kid. I recognise alot of the toys shown, but we only have a few.
I have this Thomas that pulled a flat car/flatbed and Trevor was on top of it and I think it was the same size as seen in this video. Not sure if it could be one of those or something else cause I don't recall my Trevor having a string unless mine was ripped off because it might have also been able to attach to Thomas.
That Trevor with the string is actually from a pull-back Thomas. That thomas had an wagon, and trevor was attached to the back of Thomas. You'd pull back Trevor, and Thomas would ride away. It is indeed a Tomy! Fun fact about that Thomas whistle, they are still being produced! Same mold that is! The wheelbarrow in the boulder set is from Fifi And The Flowertots, i think. But Thomas did come with the set though. The weight downsize is purely for safety, like the Thomas jet engine you showed, an heavy engine like Duck could be an dangerous metal missile!
Do you think the faces on those steel roller Thomas, Percy, and James are large or small enough to fit on a Bachmann model? The faces look surprisingly accurate and seeing them on Bachmann models would improve them greatly.
the trevor with the string is a Tomy one. its part of the "kids" range where they drag it along the floor. As for the Tomy thomas and percy, I personally had not had a Tomy made in Vietnam, and none from china either. i collected Tomy plarail from 1999 - 2008, and they were all from Thailand. Percy seems legit none the less, as Tomy merged with Takara, to become TakaraTomy, and have many factories in Vietnam.
@leokimvideo My son is 2 as well... He has scared at least two other kids by noticing a Thomas print on their shirt or hat, then pointing straight at them and not blinking, until I pull him away... I guess you have to be there. Even his first "words" was humming the Thomas tune. Thankyou for showing your collection. i am very jealous.
Once you weighed the 4 take along and take n play models, I wasn't surprised that Duck was gonna weigh more because I own that model and he is very heavy compared to my other TA, wooden and even bachmann trains. The later released Take N Play merchandise is very light compared to TA's. I say ditch the Take N Plays and go back to ERTL!
@leokimvideo There always is! And actually I thought of another really rare item, A thomas slide projector, not the new one that just shows pictures of thomas, you used to be able to get one with about eight stories, all cardboard and cellophane slides, now one of those would be worth something, I've got one myself, somewhere in the shed.........
Oh, also, out of all of those Toby's you showed, which one do you think is the most accurate, and why? I think the Bachmann Toby would be my favorite as it has amazing detail all around, that accurate "square" shape, and a perfect accurate face.
Few things 1. Again with the child bashing. 2. I call age on the take-a-long 3. Hornby Thomas-One day Hornby will improve there Thomas range. They just won't change the tooling. Maybe a white running plate would help the apeal.
very interesting. I am looking at buying some trains for my 2 year old son and see that people are warning about fakes coming from China. Could you do some comparisons between a fake and a real one in the Take-n-Play series? Thanks for the video.
I hope you do another video of these because I like those ladys give you Thomas stuff and do another weght brain tesser but do chuggintion diecast vs Thomas take n plays.
I did have lots of thunderbirds stuff but I don't no what happened to it :( even though Hornby comes from where I live I think it was the odd one out I'm looking forward to seeing your new faker video!
@TMRReturns i think I am starting to understand why the Hornby thomas does not sell well now, really once you see the bachmann even with a fail face you can't look at Hornby again i'm not sure why Hornby even bother doing Thomas stuff, maybe there is a secret fan club out there who like really distorted Thomas Tanks, the colour and shape are both totally out of order
I want the take and play belle! The day of the diesels take and play models should be released in America! Oh BTW, special thanks to Gerry Anderson for creating thunderbirds and the youtuber equnai for uploading all the episodes of the show.
@leokimvideo at my local arcade they have that exact same golden bear edward as one of the games! He is coupled to some rolling stock and spins around a lazy susan.
@Rexeljet i can relate to this as I emptied two vending machines trying to find the wind up Thomas tiny tomy train, and in the end a lovely mum from Melbourne contacted me and we did a swap with a Henry and she sent me a Thomas possibly the trick to making big money with a vending machine is make sure it's not loaded with the most popular choice, keep the consumers hungry, i think I am going out to buy some vending machines now,,!
@bertiethebusfan14 thanks for this info, and it certainly seems like a vending machine item, really funny as I don't ever remember seeing them where I live
The large Trevor model comes with Thomas and a truck, and the string attached him to either the front of the truck or back of thomas. I think. I'm telling this from memory, because I did have that piece.
Ya
Yea I had it too
THOMAS BRACES!!!! I HAVE/HAD those somewhere!!!
I too LOVE Thunderbirds- miss that series and the toys I had too!
Interesting mystery prize- reminds me- I have to get cracking on more entries for that...
Great video!
Yeah another 20 minute video, have to watch this when I get home from work.
10 years later, this man has the most biggest Thomas collection.
Im from the future
The Trevor with the string was apart of a pull-back-release kinda toys. Trevor would be on a tram behind Thomas. If you pulled back Trevor then Thomas zooms.
The plastic Trevor came with a Thomas set. It had a plastic Thomas with a flat bed to pull Trevor up on to the flat bed but the string looked cut off
@CalleyFan thanks, and this explains why it is devoid of who made it, sounds like it was the slave of a two part toy
i thought it was Tomy as it had all the classic traits of Tomy stuff, strong colour and good design
13:23 Hooray for Duck!!!! He and Thomas are my number one favorite characters!!!!
13:23
thank you for showing us your collection :)
i very much enjoyed looking at it :)
looking forward to seeing your Thunderbirds collection even though i am too young to have seen the show :/
The large Trevor was a part of a Thomas and Friends toy, you would pull it back, and it would act like those pull back take and play engines.
@TMRReturns the toby prize has taken a fair bit of time to pull together, finding the mint in box ERTL stuff was a very lucky find at a model railway show I went to
i'm a Toby fan, he's seems so realistic to me

can't wait for the thunderbirds, i've got a small collection myself :)
When I was young, the Trevor thing was a Tomy. It was connected by Thomas, which was weird
I have the large plastic trevor
That
Comes with a large pull-and-zoom
Thomas and flatbed.
that trevor reminded me. i had a wooden range Neville. hours after i got him, his front buffer beam broke. luckily i had a black marker to color over that, but it doesn't look the same
I have a TOMY Pullback Percy as well, which is also marked Made in Vietnam. If you didn't know, there is also a TOMY Pullback James.
I have the thomas
@DTChapman1 we are all waiting for that one day, every day of delay sells another Bachmann Thomas
that boulder scene is awsome. it would look great with the indiana jones theme.
Loved Take Along it’s so nostalgic
Nice collection Leo! That wooden trevors old owner was no Jem Cole was he? Oh, and a little fun fact about the hornby thomas. The hornby range of Thomas products was based mostly on the trains you would see in real life, giving it more of a railway series (the original books) feeling to it.

I'm a thunderbirds fan too and I'm a teenager right now. Oh and by the way, those ERTL trains bring back so many memories, I'm really sad they discontinued the ERTL toy range.
Can we see more thunderbirds videos, I would love to see your collection because there's a lot of interesting stuff to see.
I have the wooden case track/board it's a great thing to play with!
I got some Thomas Ertl and I have a couple vintage items you're pretty cool I even have a 1995 Tickle Me Elmo working I got him in the package for Christmas
The large Trevor is a part to a large Thomas with a flatbed carriage
i have the small tomy thomas and it appears in my thomas entry for the mini me contest. what i know about it is that it comes from a vending machine a few years ago and there were henry , edward , james and toby models as well
I love the sound of Thomas wooden big nostalgia burst!
Hey, Leo, I think I know why Duck and Duncan are heavier. It's because they are probably mid 2000's take-along toys while Dart and Belle are very new.

10:43 Did you know it was the best episode and a few years later the blue snowplow stepped in to make 1020 cause the boulder terrorizes the railway?
Another fantastic video! I like that little thomas you have, the one you compared to the pez thomas. I actualy have an Edward from that collection, i have never been able to work out what thier purpose was! I also have the little roller James, his eyes are facing forwards, like yours!

That tomy thomas at 9:33 was actually a prototype for some capsule thomas stamps that I had when I was small. Thomas, Edward, Gordon and a battered Toby stamp survive but James and Percy have been lost on my 'adventures'. :)
Actually, the boulder set did come with a Thomas, and the boulder in the set was supposed to knock down the red shed piece
That Trevor WAS a part of an obscure Tomy set with an unmotorized Thomas and a flatbed for Trevor. I had one.
the wooden take along set was, i guess, inspired by the plastic set that was once created along time ago.
6:08 Holy Cap the detail! Must search for its sources
I wish I had the ertle Thomas again!
As for that collection of Thunderbirds you've got, I've still got a Tracy Island play set which had Thunderbirds 1, 2, 3 & 4, though sadly it and the 'Birds aren't in the best of conditions nowadays as I was a bit rough on some of my older toys when I was a kid (poor Tyrannosaurus Dinozord from my original DX MMPR Megazord in 1993 has had a busted hip for over a decade now for example).
@ShadowNick5 thanks, first i have heard of wood decay on TWR models, interesting to hear
@ThomastheE2engine i have a feeling in a years time the Thomas collection will be massive, I still need to find a Bachmann Thomas, where I live they are always sold out, the Hornby Thomas is dime a dozen and super easy to find.
3:08 the trver at the back is from a pull and go thomas and trever
beautylicious101
beautylicious101 i had that treaver too.
9:14. The Thomas with the red wheels and on the circular piece of track is from a Tomy capsule machine from the late 2000s
On the wooden railway Trevor, I have NEVER seen that kind of damage.
The wooden case you show first is for sale here in the USA. I've seen it in Toys R Us many times.
I used to have the tracy island but moving house i had to give it away. but i do have all of the models exept for the mole. we all love to watch the episodes too. :)
Looking at the size of your collection of legit Thomas toys, I'm very surprised I can't see any HO/OO Bachmann Thomas engines and only 1 Hornby Thomas in there!

@kkehoe5 and a very rare vlog style voice over, dangerous for me as I am always stuttering or fluffing words and naming things wrong
thats why I am fail at he tube
most of my uploads have the audio recorded later on, this was live
Thunderbirds is a kick ass show! I liked everything about that show especially the fact that Alan Tracy and Tintin kyrano are a couple. Too bad they didn't make an episode where they get married. Special thanks once again to century 21 productions and for Gerry Anderson for creating the future machines(i.e, thunderbirds 1,2,3,4,5, the Ocean Pioneer ships, fireflash, the crab logger etc) realistic looking puppets( i.e. Scott Tracy, Gordon Tracy lady penelope etc) and an awesome tv show!
Belle and Dart are relatively new models. The older ones must have been made with heavier materials.
i have that james from 6:55 it was in my mini-me thomas video entry! i also have thomas, and percy models which was also shown in my other contest entry.
Hmm, never seen a Wooden toy so damaged as that Trevor. The worst I have is a Duncan with chipped paint (it's been under the dryer for years :-P).
Also about the roller toys, I don't think the eyes make much difference. The different Plarail engines have their eyes looking all over the place (some left, some right, straight, up, down, etc.).
@Zaphodraptor solution for you if you win
sell the bachmann toby on e-bay..!
the contest is the now out of control "mini me" contest, where you can have a stab at grabbing some very tiny HO powered Pez Thomas toys I made as the prize and a bunch of Bachmann stuff
Funny thing is I guessed the heavier of the two take-n-Play toys :P. Must admit, though, I love the Hornby Thomas, but compared to the bright, bold blue of the other Thomas', that one just doesn't fit in and makes it just stick out like a sore thumb

the boulder set, when I purchased it in 2008, came with neither percy or thomas. all it had as far as rolling stock goes was a quarry truck.
I wish Mattel would make toys like this now a days
hello! My 3 year old has just discovered your videos and is now obsessed. We watch your channel on repeat all day long on our TV. He especially likes this video.
On the wooden travel set, he seemed so interested in it that we had to go out and find it! We found it for 39.99 at 'Toys R Us' online. It says it's a 'Toys R Us' Exclusive. It was delivered today and he loves it. When it is closed you can set it on the table and it lines up with the thomas bridges and hills for the wooden track.
I fully agree with the dodge Hornby Thomas.
@shortround551 the metal area on Belle is about the same size as Duck, it seems the way the toys are cast now uses far less metal
Dodge looks like he's saying OH MY GOD!!!!
The Hornby Thomas is one of the few that looks right, as he would have been an Southern E2 tank engine like the Hornby model. Shame he had to be squashed over the years into a cartoon like character, rather than a steam machine that had a job to do.
I was a fan of Thunderbirds as a kid when they re-ran the show on ITV. My dad was also a fan when he was a kid. I recognise alot of the toys shown, but we only have a few.
Is the blindfolded ERTL Thomas the same model as the one featured at the beginning of the Mad Bomber Dream trailer?
I have this Thomas that pulled a flat car/flatbed and Trevor was on top of it and I think it was the same size as seen in this video. Not sure if it could be one of those or something else cause I don't recall my Trevor having a string unless mine was ripped off because it might have also been able to attach to Thomas.
the 7uuuu8iuuuuiiijuiiii
That Trevor with the string is actually from a pull-back Thomas. That thomas had an wagon, and trevor was attached to the back of Thomas. You'd pull back Trevor, and Thomas would ride away. It is indeed a Tomy! Fun fact about that Thomas whistle, they are still being produced! Same mold that is! The wheelbarrow in the boulder set is from Fifi And The Flowertots, i think. But Thomas did come with the set though. The weight downsize is purely for safety, like the Thomas jet engine you showed, an heavy engine like Duck could be an dangerous metal missile!
0:44 I have seen this in real life and i saw it in a school but you know how are the kids...They destroyed this piece of Wooden Railway. ;-;
Do you think the faces on those steel roller Thomas, Percy, and James are large or small enough to fit on a Bachmann model? The faces look surprisingly accurate and seeing them on Bachmann models would improve them greatly.
Is that Bomber Ertl Thomas Repair I see among the sea of Ertl Thomases?
the trevor with the string is a Tomy one. its part of the "kids" range where they drag it along the floor.
As for the Tomy thomas and percy, I personally had not had a Tomy made in Vietnam, and none from china either. i collected Tomy plarail from 1999 - 2008, and they were all from Thailand. Percy seems legit none the less, as Tomy merged with Takara, to become TakaraTomy, and have many factories in Vietnam.
@leokimvideo My son is 2 as well... He has scared at least two other kids by noticing a Thomas print on their shirt or hat, then pointing straight at them and not blinking, until I pull him away... I guess you have to be there.
Even his first "words" was humming the Thomas tune.
Thankyou for showing your collection. i am very jealous.
Take along is heavier than take n play as you know now
ok now your beating me with Thomas... But i still got my Thomas clothes :P
Oh my god... I know where that horrible thomas comes from. Im so glad there isnt a version of percy or else i would have gone mad...
Once you weighed the 4 take along and take n play models, I wasn't surprised that Duck was gonna weigh more because I own that model and he is very heavy compared to my other TA, wooden and even bachmann trains. The later released Take N Play merchandise is very light compared to TA's. I say ditch the Take N Plays and go back to ERTL!
@leokimvideo There always is!
And actually I thought of another really rare item, A thomas slide projector, not the new one that just shows pictures of thomas, you used to be able to get one with about eight stories, all cardboard and cellophane slides, now one of those would be worth something, I've got one myself, somewhere in the shed.........
TOP SECRET COLLECTION!
The Edward is a "My First Thomas" toy.
Wow I love it
Oh, also, out of all of those Toby's you showed, which one do you think is the most accurate, and why? I think the Bachmann Toby would be my favorite as it has amazing detail all around, that accurate "square" shape, and a perfect accurate face.
Thunderbirds, was a brilliant tv show
"I have number 2 on my tender!"
Gordon, 2011
A is for Awesome! Edward?
A is for Awesome! What you on about mate lol
14:24 the older thmas model are all metal asside from the few with that needed plastic bars on the side to show the guards.
Few things
1. Again with the child bashing.
2. I call age on the take-a-long
3. Hornby Thomas-One day Hornby will improve there Thomas range. They just won't change the tooling. Maybe a white running plate would help the apeal.
@commanderfox360 thanks, it sounds like a great toy
very interesting. I am looking at buying some trains for my 2 year old son and see that people are warning about fakes coming from China. Could you do some comparisons between a fake and a real one in the Take-n-Play series? Thanks for the video.
Hi when will you do the Thunderbirds toy review.
I hope you do another video of these because I like those ladys give you Thomas stuff and do another weght brain tesser but do chuggintion diecast vs Thomas take n plays.
I did have lots of thunderbirds stuff but I don't no what happened to it :( even though Hornby comes from where I live I think it was the odd one out I'm looking forward to seeing your new faker video!
My son would have a heart attack... Thomas is his favourite... Well... Anything.
@TMRReturns i think I am starting to understand why the Hornby thomas does not sell well now, really once you see the bachmann even with a fail face you can't look at Hornby again
i'm not sure why Hornby even bother doing Thomas stuff, maybe there is a secret fan club out there who like really distorted Thomas Tanks, the colour and shape are both totally out of order
i have the first thing you reviewed i lost it but i know that every sleeve is full of wooden trains and motorized thomas worked for me on there
I want the take and play belle! The day of the diesels take and play models should be released in America!

@leokimvideo at my local arcade they have that exact same golden bear edward as one of the games! He is coupled to some rolling stock and spins around a lazy susan.
@Rexeljet i can relate to this as I emptied two vending machines trying to find the wind up Thomas tiny tomy train, and in the end a lovely mum from Melbourne contacted me and we did a swap with a Henry and she sent me a Thomas
possibly the trick to making big money with a vending machine is make sure it's not loaded with the most popular choice, keep the consumers hungry, i think I am going out to buy some vending machines now,,!
are you going to make a contest out of some of these items?
@bertiethebusfan14 thanks for this info, and it certainly seems like a vending machine item, really funny as I don't ever remember seeing them where I live
@Trainfanz thanks it has me curious now to see the rest of the toy

Would you ever make an animation with some of the stuff that you got?
@gavinfuzzy thanks for the in depth info here
