The main reason we haven't gotten a re-release of Christopher's books is because he HATES his publisher and basically refuses to work with them. They became extremely pushy in the 90s with including Thomas in every book, and that's why we never got another Skarloey railway book that would've given Ivo Hugh an actual personality or a book with the austerity engine.

Very true but it doesn’t make sense from Egmonts pov, they would make a good amount from releasing all 42 books in a set or a book similar to CAs 2007 release the New Collection. And releasing it in 2025 would make sense to commemorate the Railway Series

Hornby Dart’s existence is legitimately funny to me. They couldn’t give either Edward or Emily their correct bases, but Dart- a nothing character up until Season 19- gets a model that’s dead on. Granted, Bachmann is making Beau just because they’ve already made his basis, but still.

May seem like a lot, but for Japanese exclusive toys, I thought it was a good total price for them all:)

I can actually explain a little more with the distribution of Happy Holidays here in Australia. It was originally released here on VHS in the year 2000, and had some different episodes instead of “Bye, George!”, “Toby and the Flood” and “Better View for Gordon”, being “Stepney Gets Lost”, “Thomas, Percy and Old Slow Coach” and “Busy Going Backwards”. Interestingly, it had all three of the same songs as the UK edition, being “Percy’s Seaside Trip”, “Come for the Ride” and “Harold the Helicopter”. In the period of the early to mid-2000s, ABC for Kids- the children’s media sub beach of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, re-released several VHS compilations onto DVD, including “Truckloads of Fun”, two Series 6 compilations (Jet Engine and Twin Trouble), “Engines to the Rescue”, and “The Very Best of Thomas & Friends”. When re-distributing Happy Holidays in 2006, more than likely someone must not have gotten the memo that there were three songs also included on the tape, just like back when they re-distributed “Truckloads of Fun” in 2005. When they realised their error, it was already too late. ABC recalled the DVDs, only a few were sold. However the DVD was cancelled and never released again, with the songs included. Which is a shame, because honestly I would like to have collected DVD re-releases of the VHS I watched so much in my childhood. I dunno, seasons 3-5 stuck with me more than anything.

the Hornby models were most likely made for adult collectors, which is probably why they were not available in toy stores. this is also reflected in how they were often more accurate to the real prototypes than in the TV show. Thomas himself is a great example, normally Thomas is quite short, however the Hornby model was much longer, representing the actual LBSC E2 locomotive. i know this was probably pretty obvious but whatever

I think the most expensive Thomas and Friends product I ever bought was my Hornby Gordon back in 2002. £70 brand new back then... and when I say I bought it, my grandmother bought it. She'd buy me anything. Never mind the fact that I was 8 years old and would probably end up breaking it... I did however own the Hornby Stepney and it was a garbage runner. It's probably still in her loft with the rest of my models. I might have picked up Murdoch as well, I can't really remember. If it was released prior to 2010, there's a chance. Either way, they've been gathering dust for 14 years, so they're probably not in running condition. Also, I know the pain of browsing eBay for shits and giggles. I don't even need to buy something. I just want to have a look... You know how you mentioned the original 2 VHS tapes for Season 1 of Thomas and Friends? I shit you not, a few weeks ago, I saw the even rarer first BETAMAX tape of S1. The tape looked to be in relatively good quality too. I didn't stick around until the end of the auction, but looking through Edge history, it looks like the tape went for about 100 quid. Pretty reasonable considering how long Beta's been a dead format...

There is a completely different range of merchandise which must be far harder to find than anything else, and that is the items produced in the 1960s when only the original Rev. Audry's books were available and television was still only black and white. I owned two records of Johnny Morris (who was a well known presenter on children's television and was famous for being able to do a range of funny voices) reading some of the original stories. The records were the size of singles but played at 33rpm - as far as I recall and my memory may not be entirely accurate. Oh how I wish I still owned those records! The books at that time were hardback with paper sleeves. The paper sleeves showed the same designs as the present editions and the hardback covers were a plain colour (all different) with outline drawings of the featured engines embossed in silver. The back of the paper sleeves sometimes advertised products, one was a toy Percy with (I think) a couple of trucks and a circle of wide black plastic track. Percy was powered by clockwork. There was also a map of Sodor but I think this would have been far more crude than recent editions. I am sure I remember some cut-out card models of Thomas and his two coaches (?), which were printed on to sheets of card and would have to be folded to make the 3D model.

Ive had the luck of aquiring 4 of the 7 deluxe play scene sets, Talking Thomas and Talking Hiro in their original packaging with accessories, the NIB Thomas, Percy and Dragon set, NIB take along Hiro, NIB push along Thomas with snow plow and some other NIB rare stuff, but it’s really difficult to find this stuff for sale as they barely appear, at least NIB.

Child (now adult) of a former blockbuster employee who spent way to much time in one just looking at DVD cases, I can sorta answer the question of if the Blockbuster DVD/Tapes were ever sold, and the answer is a very solid…maybe? Whilst I don’t know the exact process, Blockbuster would put items for sale in stores, usually on side cabinets marked down to a couple bucks, I frequently saw children’s movies and shows here, and even got the first few episodes of Batman Beyond here on one DVD as a gift with the sticker saying it was like, 5 bucks, and this was at least a solid few years before they started to collapse. After they started closing, I overheard you could basically just go in and say “Hey, I wanna buy this” but by then my dad had quit and we had Cable, so I’m not super sure how true that is

I just searched the average price abouts for the “Tales from the Tracks” disc (since I myself have one in good condition). What are you talking about, most of the discs are pretty well priced (5-10 bucks)?

The Thomas and the Chinese dragon I found the body in mint condition but the chassis in horrible condition, sadly I didn’t buy it and instead got the whistle and sounds Thomas, Percy as well as a tomy Donald and two powered narrow gauge coaches from tomy

4:53 I have the yellow one. I wasn’t expecting to find it at a boot sale. At 9:10 that’s one I would die to get!

Even though I’m four months late, I wanted to say this I have the original songs from the station DVD without the 20th Century Fox logo which can be pretty hard to find and you don’t really find it on eBay. I got it in 2022. I can’t remember what store I got it but I believe it was a store that sell used DVDs in Canada anyways I’m still glad I own this original release

Isn’t it funny that I’m a big Thomas collector and I don’t want any of these except for a couple of Christopher books😅
