Thomas The Tank Toys 'R' Us Toy Hunting New Thomas & Friends Trains

Описание: Toy Hunting Thomas The Tank toy trains as seen in Toys R Us in Australia. With the 70th Anniversary of Thomas & Friends there are some amazing Thomas toys available. Possibly the best are Thomas MINIS and the amazing Die Cast O Gauge Thomas The Tank. There are new Thomas Trackmaster, Thomas Wooden Railway and Take N Play toys. I'm a tad picky in what I buy, some playsets can seem like one trick ponies. I did purchase the RC Turbo Flip Thomas because it looked so different. To my surprise it was a very dynamic and robust Thomas toy. One huge shock in Australia is toy pricing, that's one of the biggest differences Vs Toys R Us in the USA. The stock choice can also be very different. Often I see playsets from American YouTubers who purchase toys I never see in Australian store's. Sadly I have no contacts with Mattel or Fisher Price and often struggle to find the very cool Thomas toys. I know many people struggle with the huge changes to Thomas Trackmaster train sets. Trackmaster 2 has a variety of design changes that makes it only semi compatible with classic HiT Entertainment and Mattel Trackmaster system. Only recently I obtained an early classic Trackmaster Thomas set called Thomas At Echo Cave. This Thomas train set showed me just how good classic Trackmaster used to be, it was a real eye opener which impressed me and my son. Thomas At Echo Cave has already featured in a number of my videos and soon one that featured a special lizard having a ride on Thomas. It's obvious Thomas toy trains have evolved a long way in 10 years. Some will question why did we need these changes, are we getting a better Thomas toy because of the new Trackmaster 2 system? Are these changes just to make parents buy more toys? I'll be honest here I really like that classic Trackmaster system, and it took me years to understand it's just as good as TOMY blue Thomas toys. I feel it's important to look back and investigate the earlier generations of toys. I feel it really reveals how children have changed the way they play and how toy companies make you buy more toys. I'm always haunted by the struggle Chuggingtion has had Vs Thomas And Friends. Especially because the Chuggington toys were often very well presented and detailed. But has history now shows Chuggers just vanished from many toy retailers. I feel one huge problems was the inability of some toys to connect via magnet to Thomas toys. Toys R Us was one of the last places to buy the Chuggers trains and even their presence there seems to be on a knife edge now. I really find this very sad to see because I had a lot of time for the Chuggington toys on my YouTube channel. They were always popular toy train videos for me.

I did an earlier extensive Toy Hunting video, link below.
