As we know Doug is retiring . We know we  will have a figure of him in Thomas line as an Easter egg . I win that contest giveaway with the figure if not I have the figure pack to look forward to .But this guy has impacted Bachmann and Thomas in general please use this thread to recognize the VP of license products.

It was a lot of fun being on the stream! I couldn't really see the comments while I was presenting, but I definitely noticed a few familiar faces during the live session.

It was truly an honor to be there for Doug's final appearance before retiring. As I emphasized earlier, he's not just a great businessman who brings a wealth of knowledge when it comes to trains and Thomas, but also a really great friend. That said, Matt will do a fantastic job stepping into Doug's role, and I'm looking forward to seeing how progress and updates unfold moving forward.

Was very grateful for all of Doug's work and support for the Thomas fans and franchise! I'm honored that I was able to be able to be on a Thomas Tuesday stream with him! I wish him well in his well deserved retirement!

Was crazy to see you on the stream . If one thing will stay the same on the fourm users come and ago but you have been here since the beginning .

This stream really felt special having a Bachmann form legend as the guest .

Learning Doug stated at the Budd rail car company making amfleets to Bachmann also making amfleets .See the inspiration for the Christmas set was based on a trackmaster is pretty cool . And all the behind the scenes material we got was super cool .

One final salute to Doug and his many years of service to the Bachmann brand; here's to retirement!

[Mulfred100]

I'd like to wish Doug a very happy retirement and personally thank him for all the hard work he's done over the years. I'm so grateful for all the hard work he's done with Bachmann and the fans. It's been so nice the last few years as a fan watch as products go from announced to the final product and the amount of due care and attention they receive. I wish Doug all the happiness and luck that the world can offer in his retirement and a huge thank you for helping shape the line into what it is today. Thank you Doug.

I hope Doug has a happy and long retirement, he's earned the rest for all he's done for Bachmann and the Thomas line. Look forward to seeing how Matt handles things going forward.

I watched the final stream with my girlfriend and we both had a blast; it was very fun and fitting finale. Look forward to seeing what comes next.
