Do they still produce the electric Thomas trains without the Disney/Paw Patrol faces? Seems like the classic looking shit is in rape-price territory
My kids hate globohomo Thomas. Luckily there's a LOT of the old stuff out there. You might try Goodwills or children's consignment stores.
>>11640302You might want to invest in some of that All Engines Go track, because Mattel recently came out with pic related.
>>11641089Sucks that you have to buy Nia, just to get a slate wagon.
>>11640302The Plarail line still exists if importing is an option for you. I only have a few engines + 2nd hand track from FaceBook Marketplace. The new playsets are genuinely awful as the engines quite literally aren't designed to run on them properly, lots of derailments since their fronts aren't weighted.
>>11644481Damn, no more plarail in the states? Maybe when this tarriff shit calms down I can invest in it. I had those as a kid and they were awesome. The mattel line doesn't look bad at least.
>>11640302there are kid specific stores with less mass produced plastic garbage but it ain't cheap
>>11644786There's early Trackmaster aswell as Tomy, you can find loads of that stuff on eBay.
>>11644481Dremel the activation tab on the bottom off the new engines and they'll run on plarail track
>>11641089>they make the jeeta train pull an elephantkek
>>11650714The ironic thing about Nia is that her face isn't "ethnically correct". She's supposed to be from Africa, but her basis was built in England.
>>11651433The real African engine ran out of coal and water and then rusted in place while her African driver and fireman wandered off and within minutes forgot that they had ever been railroad employees.
>>11641089What bugs me about modern Thomas toy lines is that there's never any expansion packs that are JUST rolling stock. They're just making you buy multiple engines to have a train that's longer that 2 cars. It's frustrating
>>11653963That was one thing I loved about the early Trackmaster sets. I sometimes regret not getting pic related because it has the only legit narrow-gauge coach of both it and Plarail.
I am going to kill myself.
The models (Barring the faces) do look pretty good.
