Brilliant! I'll do just that. Thanks so much man.

Awesome! But wouldn't it have to be a slight gloss to match the paint work of the coaches?

Hey all,

I'd like to paint the red coaches' roofs   white to match the classic series.

Any recommendations on which paint to use?

The vans really are fantastic. All of them.

Thank you Sir! I have done that, just wondering if anyone had any experience or preference in terms of brand.

Hey everyone,

So I thought what better place to ask this question?

I am looking for options to store my engines and trucks. Boxes would be preferable but I'm honestly open to pretty much anything that will keep them safe.

Please post suggestions here, thanks in advance.

Wow. New website. It's nice. Sad to see the old design go though.

How exactly? Mattel culled most of the episodes that were uploaded to different channels. If anything it's the polar opposite now. It's harder for people to find model series stuff.

Sorry this took so long.

Them calling those videos is exactly the point. They are uploading them on their own, they have classic Thomas options now.

Trust me the brand will be split very soon by age group. All engines go is aimed very young and leaves a large gap in the market that they will want to fill.

If what we see happening continues, more model stuff being found like from the pilot, if the 80th anniversary leans into the models, then I think that mandate will be a thing of the past.

Let's just re-introduce them, the prices are premium enough already.

Fine with me as they seem to be giving some love to the model series. These are right out of the early seasons. Even more excited for them now. lol.

You absolutely did brother. And as a retailer I would think carefully about your immature and flippant attitude.

It's really not your place to post that man.

Seeing as you leaked the announcements back in 2021 I would think you'd be more careful.

Unless of course you simply don't care.

That's all well and good. But retailers use preorders to save a space for people who want the models.

I'd assume it's on a first come first serve basis.

So I'm guessing this weekend for the catalog?

Lol I can't believe there's only six days left in February.
