Prediction, one of the following:
Pink undercoat James (Tickled Pink)
Tar covered James (Dirty Objects)
Coal covered James (Calling All Engines)
Blue James (An Engine of Many Colours)
Green James (An Engine of Many Colours)
Silver James (An Engine of Many Colours)
Brown James (An Engine of Many Colours)
Purple James (An Engine of Many Colours)
Yellow James (An Engine of Many Colours)
Orange James (An Engine of Many Colours)

I think three versions of James are quite enough. 

You're getting a little ridiculous now my man.

I don't think there's anything here that people don't already know.

Of course a Bachman Stefanie would be a great seller. And I do believe he is their next model, unfortunately just seems we have to wait a little longer for the certainty of an announcement.

Alright guys, Yes yesterday was a bit of a disappointment. But you have to look at the bigger picture, I'm sorry just saying "I may seem entitled" doesn't excuse the lack of understanding that people seem to have during the current situation.

Seeing as Bachmann teased things and made it seem like there would be new engines before this, it says to me that something must've happened, I have a feeling that the delays for Daisy and a Peter San came later than anticipated and they're still planning for stuff but had to pull it back because the wait between announcement and release would've been just too long. I'm hoping for a much more satisfying announcement in February. Plus the fact that we only have to wait six months for announcements now rather than a year is another plus. I still think we're in a better place than we've ever been.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is relax, and remember the days when we had to beg for any classic character to be considered let alone announced. We have a narrow gauge line now and the range is only looking more promising as time goes on, these are unbelievable circumstances that we unfortunately have to deal with. But don't get greedy boys. There are only six characters from the classic series that Bachmann has not made in standard gauge, excluding one offs like Derek and class 40.

We are living the dream.

Don't forget that.

Well, I guess we should have known from "Product Announcment" that there was only going to be one, but a bit of a let down never the less.

As do I. Here's hoping today brings something special.

I think I almost fainted..... ;D
#37
I agree that he's the best and obvious choice. Would be very happy to have a model of him. I suppose we'll see what happens in July. But even if he's not announced then I'm more than confident he will be soon.

Thomas & Friends / Stepney’s Face

I have a feeling Stepney may be coming soon. Even if I'm wrong about that, I feel we should do the same thing that we did when Duck was announced.

Now that we are in the lucky position of getting announcements twice a year, plus the range expanding more than we ever thought possible due to the addition of the European market, the addition of not only a narrow gauge but an N scale line, the rebirth of Large Scale....

Fan voices are more important than ever.


Make sure that Bachmann know that we do not want that horrible season 12 face for the model if indeed they make him. It would be about as bad as them not making him.

So you know the drill boys,

Use this thread. Suggest faces.

I don't understand what my post has to do with yours, unless you're saying that no one commented on yours because of mine which is ridiculous. And that's the thing about wants, many of them are unrealistic.

But don't worry, now I'm sure now you can expect a flood of comments in response to your amazing list.

Oh, and no offense if you're reading this.  ::)

Very true, don't know why it didn't resize. But seeing as I've only made about 14 posts in the past two years, and this is definitely going to be the only one like this, again. I think we'll live.

Maybe by the time I post the next one the forum will be on a system that was created in at least the last decade.  ::)
#41
Yeah I figured it would. Don't know how to do it myself.

And lol. Relax Sparks. Don't get too big for your buffers. Forgot why I don't post here more often.

I'm sure the admins will take care of it, if it really is that big of a deal.

As has been proven many times on this thread, people can very certainly be dumb.

It's entirely possible he just didn't record them. As there is another tag there that is clearly not for Percy or the trucks so odds are it's for them.

And he's skipping over that part because it's obviously not true, they are not being resized.

And he is definitely not arguing the same thing you were trying to say. As much as you try to make it seem that way.

Sigh.........

There will be announcements next month for the catalog. Unless they shifted all thomas announcements which is unlikely.
