Thomas & Hot Wheels Stock Study Counting Percy Post Christmas Retail Fail Saga

[@TheOrangeTractorOffical]

I have no idea why you guys don’t have Big W’s in your area. I’m a hour half drive to Sydney and we have 2 BigWs as long as I can honestly remember, meanwhile we’ve seen 1 Kmart and target fall here. And in my opinion I find BigW better then Kmart as it contains gaming items for a start and it has actual brands other than big durable Anko. And overall it’s for me a better experience. The Lego section is about 2-3 aisles, Thomas section is maybe 1 quarter or a 5th of the aisle, hot wheels is cranking, sports section is good as well as the books. Personally they are doing everything target/Kmarts Wesfarmers do but better, and hey anything to not support the Bunnings company😅 Have a good week Leo, and am excited for the next video

The best thing for me to do is drive 45 min North from Hornsby to Erina Fair. There is a BigW and Toymate there. The Target there closed up during Covid and it was like most Targets a total waste of retail space. With the way Hornsby Westfield is set up now so many retail shops have gone and now there's service shop. Great if you want your hair cut, nails painted, dental work, fat removal, hair plugs, body massage. Back in the 80's, 90's, 20-10's it was all hardcore retail shops, not any more.

To make the Thumbnail for this video I used Photoshop's AI 'Generative Layer' tools to change my hand into an Robot Hand, changed Percy's mail wagon into a Christmas Gift wagon, and Percy's box face into a Troll Face. Seeing how it changed Percy's wagon so well is spooky. My request for the rolling stock was this, 'christmas wagon red and gold presents' within seconds it gave me 3 various options. It's a powerful and very dangerous Photoshop tool and incredibly easy to use. I have to pay top dollar to use Adobe's stuff, I'm not doing a free Ad for them showing off what it can do.

You know I hate All Engines Go.

[@Stevensux3]

I agree AI has grown dangerously in the last year. I don't like how it produces horrifying images that people deem good enough for commercial use

[@leilaniz5909]

The hand is terrifying

[@TessfromKellstorpe]

Ok ​@@GamingWithLyrics777LG

[@danielberry72]

Welcome back old friend.

[@Steamenginesunited3456]

Never surprises me when it's mostly Percy's that are left behind

[@Nic_2751]

Been rewatching a lot of the old collections and it was nice to see something new, but man what a shame how we’ve lost the ol classic merch

[@XtremeTrainz]

Another depressing update but reflects my experience - I'm lucky that in the Sutherland shire we have 2x Big Ws and 2x Kmarts... But no Targets (anymore), but given the direction target is going I'm not sure it's a big loss for Thomas collectors. I just started following the Japanese Thomas and Friends Instagram and wow, the range of products there is a whole new world!

[@leokimvideo]

This Target store at Hornsby which is now near identical to KMart has to fail. Target has been struggling for years and it's a very desperate move by Wesfarmers to load Target stores up with ANKO rubbish. I don't understand how how the ACCC allows this to happen because this change affects a whole Westfield Shopping Mall. It's has a negative effect on consumers. From what I can already see no one is going to Target to get Kmart ANKO stock. Retailing in Australia is a race to the bottom.

I used to be able to find Thomas Die-Cast toys in toy sections of grocery stores or checkouts here in the US. Now I'd be lucky to find anything Thomas related in big stores like Target. How the mighty have fallen, as one could say...

[@Trainboy56team]

And I’m guessing factory error is coming back shortly

[@bigbuffersproductions]

Gday Leo always look forward to these every year did you end up checking the book isles in Kmart? Also I’ve been trying to get in touch with you about a question I want to ask ya I think it would be better if I asked you through email :> sorry if I’m bugging you lol

[@portablethomas]

No Thomas stock in supermarkets seems to be a UK thing as well. The only supermarket over here I see Thomas being stocked is one called Sainsbury's and other shops I see Thomas in are toy stores.

[@Razer_-fe9mo]

The Tesco near me usually has a bit of stock. Never seems to sell though.

[@tehogvirgin3664]

funny how even britt allcroft doesnt like AEG

[@EjvindMK]

Like a AEG dishwasher ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha lol

[@DC4260Productions]

That's really bizarre seeing pictures of the Anko stock in Target and Kmart simultaneously. We've also got Kmart across the ditch, but Target is only a furniture store here (for some reason).

[@TSCE200]

Man Leokimvideo is one of my favorite KZbinrs Growing up. I always watched his Thomas videos when I was 3 or 4 and I always enjoyed watching his videos. I still watch his videos to this day. I still his watch old videos and I also watch new videos as well :)

[@Loganstr3]

[@Trainboy56team]

Percy is a defiantly a peg wormer

[@SonicXtreme99akaCreeperMario]

Welcome back, old friend

[@matthewgil3146]

Keep up the Great work Leo!

[@cec_oregon]

now i think about it, the only thomas play things that are currently being made that arent all engines go are the Minis.

[@thefaller9860]

Wow, no one seems to want Percy. Poor guy

[@TessfromKellstorpe]

Maybe everyone already has him

[@CurtsCoolVids104]

Does anybody miss Leo’s video contests?

[@harrisonallen651]

Still nice to see a handful of the old merchandise on shelves after AEG took over

[@SkyeSoarer04]

I wish to know but what happened to teddy also great video and editing

[@joaquinprodutions9237]

¿Puedes hacer los pool tracks pero de aeg?

[@Byjgibgyg]

It’s sad how Thomas and friends are just rebooting each time

[@HitToyCompany]

it’s cool i found out you are a green day fan too

[@MilesModelWorks]

I always find it weird yo hear australians talk about going to kmart, since there is only 3 left here in the us.

[@atsf47legit]

R.I.P. Larry.

[@ModwalletOFFICIAL]

Cool!

[@Sickminecraft45]

Awesome video as always Leo! By the way, There's something that I'd like to chat to you about. So what is the best way to do that?

[@donaldraynor4697]

R.I.P.

[@ViewerIsLame]

I'm not a fan of All Engines Go. I wish they would bring back Trackmaster and Wooden Railway, heck even the Minis. I just miss them.
