  • A very close study of two Thomas and Friends Take-N-Play sets. Load and Go and Rock Quarry Run. Both playsets present very nicely indeed. There is also a look at the Take-N-Play flexitrack and fold out bridge which needs a bit more work done to it to make it really useful.
    An extensive crash investigation is here via the fail reel. Accidents can happen all the time when I am making my little videos.

    Prices of toys in Australia seems to be so much more than the USA, the Australian dollar has been strong versus the US currency for a long period of time now, yet this strength in the Australian currency is not passed through to the consumers. The basic rule to remember is if you ever come to Australia for a holiday never buy toys here.

    Man I loved these videos as a kid. Like most kids, I grew up with a tight birthday and Christmas time income so these videos always helped me plan out the best bang for my buck. I was 7 when these videos came out and now I’m a 20 year old who’s in their 3rd year of college. I want to say thank you to Leo for all the amazing memories you brought to my childhood. I learned how to detail my models and got into engineering because of all Thomas mods shown here. My mom thinking I was some kid genius because I learned how to make my trackmasters run on a 9V was a childhood favorite. Leo if you see this thank you for all the memories, and best wishes from California 🤙

    @trainboy7 for me the BIG fail of the Dieselworks is the two green legs which are not part of the set, it also seems to ride on the fact it's associated to a very popular Thomas film. In my mind there is limited play appeal in the Dieselworks. For just a little more you can have so much more fun with Load and Go.

    @SR3Dfilms i stupidly bought the bridge thinking i could do a over and under set up on my sons ever expanding take n play layout, well it's basically useless
    if the legs on the bridge were just a little bit longer i would have zero complaint, but as I find toys can get away with design flaws all the time and no one seems to care, anyway kids don't have the power to complain

    It would be nice to see a Thomas Take-N-Play set with that special 'hard working Thomas' from the inexpensive set instead of just a happy smiley Thomas and also having other characters then the blue engine himself. I agree about the price range here in Australia. I remember back in 2007 some parents in America were suing Learning Curve over the costing of the wooden railway toys. BTW have a Merry Christmas!

    The two main sets you reviewed in this video I found the quarry for $49.99 and the load and go had its name changed here to the slate loading station which was $29.99. we also picked up the sodor enginge wash (figure 8) for a mere $19.99. Look forward to more great videos in the future! Thanks!

  • @PokelordEX
    @PokelordEX 12 років тому +3

    Something that got my attention with this take n play set, it's modelled after a warehouse at Brendam Docks on the show, a house that is recognisable and at the same time underrated, and this set is the first time it's ever been replicated in toy form, so I give kudos to them for picking locations you wouldn't expect and expand upon it, as it does help attract fans who have eagle-eyes when it comes to the show (like me).
    Happy Holidays Leo, have a good'n and see you in 2012 =)

    @MasterOfTheLemons the way I see it rock quarry run would be great for a 3 to 4 year old, load and go would suit older children, the Dieselworks I feel works for all, my 2 year old son loves the Dieselworks even though those little green legs keep coming off, i'm very close to gluing them on!

  • @leokimvideo

    @t4mercustomz years ago I bought a very large Tomy Ultimate set, and it came with a limited edition Thomas which has become one of my fav.
    I have lost count of playsets which have a Percy or Thomas as the included character, i'm pretty sure having a special character in these sets would make them far more attractive to the kids. From what I have seen the Thomas kids know exactly what's going on in a playset and revel when a special character is included

    I think Take N Play was the best. The settings were cool and they weren’t exactly based off real areas. Wooden Railway was also the best, but it doesn’t hold up with the sets I’ve seen in the 2010s and up, even with Wood being introduced.

    @ShuntingTank043 they are not full instructions!, and what happens when you trash the box??
    why is this set missing the usual instruction sheet which has safety notices, consumer contact info and all the stuff instruction sheets come with, example is Rock Quarry Run and Dieselworks which both come with a full instruction sheet. my Totally Tidmouth set came with absolutely nothing as well.
    from all the toys I buy the norm is to have instructions and contacts set up as a sheet or book

    @1mymm i'm pretty sure if the trains could go under it would be a very worthy bit of kit to have, but it's a fail

    @thomasmodelseries from what I can see Rock Quarry run is perfect for younger children due to it's roller coaster play action, Load and Go is better suited for slightly older kids because of the duty style play it has.
    As for the Dieselworks, hmmmmmm I would give that a miss, it's not really a set I see my son key into when comparing it to the other take n play's he has

    I think the load and go presents the best value. It has size, height, and no sharp bends so long engines can fit on it. I'm actually having 2nd thoughts about buying my diesel works (BTW I got mine for about 30 dollars in the US at Target). I'm thinking about getting a load and go and building my own dieselworks Mk2.

And for the price it's ok in some sets but most are over priced. Awesome review but your right why can't people add a special train in the sets I think it's to save money.
