Thomas The Tank De-Evolution Toy Train Study Thomas And Friends Collectible Railway

[@leokimvideo]

I don't have every style of Thomas that was made over the years and I left out some all plastic variations. The new Thomas is a step forward after taking two steps backwards in design. I have just looked over a Thomas Adventures playset and it's excellent. The most amazing thing was the very low price of the toy Vs a Take N Play playset.

[@Lwaku_]

leokimvideo dear Leo I have noticed that's lots of people on your videos are now saying to stop reviewing Thomas toys because they only care about spiders. Don't listen to them I've subscribed to you since 2012 on different accounts so keep on going Leo don't give up

[@gummibaryummyfan4203]

leokimvideo In UK we do not find those Thomas with the train coupling system instead They are very rare to find

[@spencerbrownrigg1483]

I will agree it fixed some problems but created others the only versions of these trains I'll be getting is the people ones without hucks maybe this will go further than take n play only time will tell

[@linzcarter4214]

leokimvideo I'm only 8 I might start collecting them your videos are interesting

[@KYLETHEBANDITO]

leokimvideo I hate the new toys you can't couple the new ones with the old ones and the tracks can't connect also it's not take n play any more.

[@WwSsCc23]

One interesting thing is ERTL had 20 years in business, and only had two changes: paper face to cast face. Take Along had 8 years, and only had two changes: metal fireboxes to plastic fireboxes. Mattel, so far, has had eight years, and had four changes! 2009 Thomas to 2012 Thomas, 2013 thomas, and then Adventures. I’m not too sure why Mattel made all these changes, but in t definitely has something to do with profit. If they are trying to compete with the free apps, then ERTL design has to come back. Having a crushed cab, dome, whistle, and huge funnel doesn’t work. Mattel needs this revelation

[@cphwmj10]

C- 812 make that 5 now (or 6?)

[@nofreezepeach3959]

Mattel was actually doing pretty well with their earlier years of taking over the Thomas franchise.

[@trainboy7]

Looks like Mattel did something cool for once when it comes to coupling up with classic ertl trains.

[@stevenkang577]

bandai had a popular moments like diesel 10 it made the claw move like in the movies deagostinia was popular too I have a deagonstini diesel 10 in australia which makes the claw move wind up was also popular and it never stops

[@trainboy7]

Steven Kang Why is it that Japan have better versions of Diesel 10 and other countries like America and Australia have the weaker ones?

[@stevenkang577]

TB7 Productions leo has never seen a bandai model on the internet maybe they have more advantage

[@tylerku9751]

Imagine in 2050 we will look back at Thomas adventures and say 'wow those were the good old days'.

[@mbcmechachu]

According to the wiki there are supposedly going to be track & magnet adapters for these to connect up to the older stuff so they will still work. Although you would have to get in contact with Fisher-Price directly in order to obtain them.

[@asmalltankengine961]

Pretty sad to see that adventures didn't last even a year the talking Thomas and Percy where great since the cabs where raised.

[@PaulKingIII]

I miss the trips to the toy store every Tuesday to get a new ertl Thomas. I remember getting some of the theadore tugboat ones too, I remember I would be amazed by how great all the ertl Thomas's looked just more detailed than what's there today. I think one of my favorites was the lady ertl.I'm really lucky to have been a kid in the late 90s, early 2000s, I remember my mom pulling in the driveway with a new ertl and remember getting so excited. Having a 7 year old sister it's crazy to see how different things are with the iPads and toys getting worse than I remember.

[@thomasthee2tankenginefan919]

It's actually sad to see the KZbin Legends Fade Into History. Leo Just Keep Up The Good Work. Remember KZbin Is About What YOU Love To Do, It's Not About How Many Subs Or Views You Get.

[@clarkkent1190]

my only gripe with the new take along/take and play range is it does feel a lot lighter. I like the old because it feels like it has heft. but this coupling is cosmetically and for function, better

[@alexismorrison8366]

i loved it when there was a peace of paper in the packaging about all the trains you can get

[@Bunbiichuffn]

I know the dumping of trains at the end was for dramatic effect, but I seriously wonder how many people will rid themselves of the old to make way for the new. I greatly admire the new system, but the fact there isn't an adapter truck with a magnet on one end is a little disappointing. How else other than blutac will people connect the two variants? I wonder if perhaps the old Take-Along/Take N Plays can be converted to the new system. Another topic for another time I suppose.

[@leokimvideo]

My son used blutac to connect Chuggington diecast to Thomas Take N Play. In the end children just make things work. Toy companies seem to struggle with that idea!

[@mbcmechachu]

True though I did hear they will have track adapters so you will still be able to connect your Adventures sets with Take-n-play. so it isn't a total loss.

[@leokimvideo]

I just purchased a Thomas Adventures playset and there were no track adaptors to Take N Play. It feels like a real cut off time, a totally fresh start with much cheaper playsets and toys.

[@mbcmechachu]

leokimvideo You'd have to get in contact with Mattel directly to get those.

[@steamroller743]

I like the adventures track better because it can connect both ways

[@TrainzXtreme]

Very very interesting; I just picked up a new Thomas adventures 'original' Thomas (green) and the old ones to do a video like this... the biggest change I noticed was a drop in price which was massive that I think is really curious... as is the material from mattel explaining the change...

[@leokimvideo]

Finally I beat you to it. I highly suspect Mattel are struggling to sell these toys and now it's time to make stuff really cheap. The glass generation love their free iPad apps, playing with real toys have become second fiddle. Notice how rapid the changes happen from 2012, the iPad Christmas was 2010.

[@leokimvideo]

When I did my 2016 Thomas toy study of what was selling I did notice lots of dust collectors on the pegs. But Thomas is not the only toy that's not hot anymore. The whole toy market place has changed and the rise of the blind bag toys with never ending collectables seems to be all the rage. Little toys with huge mark-ups equals big profits for toy companies. Moose Toys were into this toy market well before the big names. And Moose Toys is now one of the top earning companies in Australia.

[@TrainzXtreme]

leokimvideo one thing that does seem to be selling rather well is the new transformers stuff; leading to at first no stock and then a big Glut towards the end of each wave... seems lots of toy companies and retailers are totally all over the place atm

[@leokimvideo]

I think the BIG problem apart from the iPad generation is there are just too many brands in the marketplace. I see Bob The Builder is trying again. It's up against Paw Patrol, Octonauts, Rescue Bots, Thomas & Friends, Peppa Pig, Thunderbirds, Star Wars, Minecraft toys, Ninja Turtles, Batman, Spiderman, Hot Wheels, My Little Brony, Disney's latest flick and possibly 10 more franchises trying to take over your mind and wallet. Do we really need all these brands? Many of them are actually very similar. As we learned the toy train market was not big enough to have both Thomas and Chuggington, and maybe thats indicating that little trains are off the boil compared to say 20 years ago. Seeing Chuggers fail is a reminder that even the most awesome toys can be left on the pegs. Success seems to need these 3 components, a well produced TV show, excellent free game apps and toys that relate to the TV show and game play. Hasbro do this very well with Transformers. Yes I see their toys tend not to be dust collectors. Mattel don't understand we don't need multitudes of Toby or Toads (the list of dust collectors is pretty long). If they made Boco, Lady or just interesting rolling stock it may be a real winner. The flash in the pan one off characters is also not working. Loads of The Great Race characters are just not selling. Target dumped the price of the Streamlined Thomas to $5.

[@petersullivan3491]

leokimvideo no its not

[@LuckyMushroomProductions]

Everytime I see a take along or take n play Thomas on your channel I can't help but thing of the Thomas love story you did a few years back Aw the memories ;)

[@leokimvideo]

Yeah, back when Thomas was totally awesome.

[@InkblotHyena]

I'm actually a fan of the new couplings on the Take n' Play Thomas sets. It reminds me of the Tomy/Trackmaster couplings, and how good they were. Heck, a HO/OO coupling can just about fit into the new Thomas coupling, which will make play quite nice for kids who have that kind of rolling stock.

[@berd3307]

All the take along and ertl really takes me back.

[@leokimvideo]

Those early Take Alongs are built like war tanks, they will survive the next nuke war. So heavy in design and feel great in the hand.

[@berd3307]

leokimvideo Yeah, it's amazing how durable they are.

[@christophervanrooyen5424]

couldn't agree more with this review... the hook couplers with ertl design and robustness and durability of the original learning curve would be the ideal toy.

[@joesykes4226]

I hope Mattel are actually watching your videos Leo and taking notes, because I totally agree.No one said anything about change, no one wanted both take n play and trackmaster to look and perform differently. So Mattel should either go back to the original look or just stop before it gets any worse

[@jordankuo6662]

Thank goodness i grew up with the take alongs

[@CheekyChuffer]

If you call Mattel you get adaptors for the couplings and the track for FREE. That's really neat in my opinion and I ordered 2 of them. :)

[@leokimvideo]

LOL, call Mattel. They have not spoken to me in 10 years as if they will give me a thing.

[@Brendon_up1995]

I've done some reading Leo, and all the new Thomas toys go straight to stores/shops over seas in the US and Canada due to a bigger demand in Thomas and friends merchandise. The new adventures have flown off shelves here in the US, I've gone out to try and get my hands on some but still haven't got a single one. Also in US stores a single Thomas and Friends Adventures engine alone goes for roughly $12-$15 USD. Your best bet is to order them from the US and have it shipped to Australia.

[@leokimvideo]

They are in Australia and they are dirt cheap here.

[@Brendon_up1995]

leokimvideo I'm gonna need to order some then.

[@steamie98]

Leo,Did you know there actually exists an ertl Thomas with a paper face and a white running board made in 1984 and is extremely rare I have one it’s in serviceable condition the face is almost coming off and everything is loose but it’s a very beautiful thing to have in the collection so if you can track one down definitely buy one you will not be disappointed

[@LocoStation37]

Seeing the olds ones dumped in the trash made my heart sink. I've been working hard to collect all the old Take Alongs/n Plays for a while now. They're so expensive second hand usually. And they are soon to be compatible with the new Adventures range, it is confirmed that they will sell adapters. But I also saw someone on twitter go out to the hardware store and get a little screw hook and connect the engines that way. While I know a screw hook isn't the best option for children it is an idea for older fans. I'm looking forward to trying it out once I get my new Adventures LSBC Thomas in the mail.

[@ThomasLover]

The ones with the dumb magnets are not 2013(they were made) but it's 2014(released).

[@lemtheasian6376]

I'm fine with the change because there is an adaptor but the adaptor only works with the one-way magnets, not the smart magnets.​

[@Steamer96]

Proof we're failing as a society.

[@shrilleth]

ERTL connections? Expectations: not that

[@TroublesomeJunction]

I like the new coupling design but I hate how the cab is all small and squashed up. what I feel Matel should so is add small bits of metal in the bubbley end parts of the couplings or just make them out of metal, or even make adaptors or specialized couplings add-ons to make them compadable. its like going from the Tomy track to the early track master system all over again at least they work with my all time favorite range ertls but some of the play sets related to Thomas adventures is just bad like the space themed ones

[@somerandomladontheinternet533]

Holy hell I remember take along and take & play my brother had a few before mom gave them away. I was born a year after take along but I had more wooden railway models than take along and take & play. I was 1 yrs old when the last few ERTL models were released ( Jack , Alfie , Murdoch , fergus , Arthur and jock before the line completely discontinued) it's sad when a toy line gets discontinued.

[@janiceandcliff]

Thanks for showing all these changes. I wonder if it's sheer fluke the new couplings actually work with the Ertl's ? I do buy the odd old Ertl now and again, very slowly adding to my son's collection. : ) Regards, Cliff.

[@leokimvideo]

It's a nice thing to see a good looking coupler on the toy. Now all we need back are the buffer details and the drivers cab.

[@loganduckthomas1best697]

The Adventures couplings with a good play lasts about two years before they get really weak.

[@dakiddow0024]

hahaha it is my birth day today :) then you showed the birthday Thomas and it was perfect timing...

[@dakiddow0024]

Sodor Studios & Co. thanks

[@jeab4cline]

I own a lot of take n plays and love them and it makes me sad to see what has happened I do However notice you rarely get them out and would offer money for them

[@MadameMoist]

I love how this dude's got a bunch of toy reviews on one half of the channel and terrifying spider videos on the other.

[@leokimvideo]

My audience is divided, and that's killing my channel.

[@SonicandThomas934]

In Australia too eh. Well that Thomas stuff is often under stocked here in the USA as well these days, I remember when the shelves in Wal-Mart and Target were full of them but I can't remember the last time I saw it like that.

[@Nosraa]

Hey Leo! Just wondering will the spider tank videos return or not ? :)

[@Nosraa]

Just adding, I do love the toy review videos! But I do love the spider ones too !

[@leokimvideo]

Sadly I been having too many death threats from many of the people commenting on the spider videos. It seems to attract the worst kinds of comments and a ton of trolls.

[@Nosraa]

leokimvideo I'm sorry to hear that ! Love all you videos though! Nothing better than seeing a notification of your videos being uploaded :)

[@TDR732]

+leokimvideo yea the spider ones are enjoyable too

[@jamesthetrain7791]

Wait Leo, with the new Adventures coupling system, would you be able to couple the engines to ERTL rolling stock??? I would try but Adventures isn't in stock where I live.

[@legoroan9866]

Please don't throw those amazing toys away! They're amazing if you don't want them sell them, I've got a collection of them

[@glor3na]

i thought it would be funny (but maybe to you, leokimvideo quite disturbing) if there was a redback at the bottom of your thomas bin

[@loganduckthomas1best697]

Are you really throwing all the Take Alongs and Take And Plays?

[@thomasfune3383]

Nice collection that you got

[@nathanarrington9651]

Besides Tomy, Take Along was my childhood.

[@florgarcia8185]

you made me cry when you throwd the take and play Thomas toys in the trash p.s will you still keep them

[@gwroliver3540]

He will keep them

[@herselgeraldo8142]

i like stremlightning thomas

[@sonicrail5253]

so they just changed the cuplinks.....well then rip take in play plus my take alongs aren't going anywhere there still fun and frankly I think this new take and play will kill the metal thomas toys altogether because of not selling

[@stevenkang577]

people like ertl in the old days and now this one which was leo dreamed some sort of take n play or ertl combined

[@MlkEnj]

The fat magnet ones make me cry

[@f14tomcata88]

Which is your favorite?

[@WTT_321]

Aww man, I wished I had that pile of toys you ended up having to toss into the bin.... Ahh well....

[@petersullivan3491]

Will Sone yeah

[@gwroliver3540]

He was joking

[@Curlyheart]

CREEPER

[@retronostalgiafan8635]

You're lucky that you have a silver take along Thomas because if you find one that's mint in box, it's worth a lot of money on EBay.

[@KTBF_Productions]

You know....itd be pretty interesting if youd swap the 2009 Take and Play and the Original Take Along Thomas's Faces...

[@sweethindi]

I love the birthday Thomas!!!!.

[@tamage3286]

Are there any videos describing how you started your Thomas collection? Like what sparked your interest?

[@leokimvideo]

It started a few years ago at my local charity shop. They put aside the Thomas toys and one by one I have built up a army of hundreds and hundreds of Thomas The Tanks. Not sure what will happen to them when I die. Dare say they will end up at the local tip.

[@tamage3286]

leokimvideo or.... you could give them all to me!!

[@splendidproductions5]

Did you really put them in the bin?

[@josefmcguigan2982]

Great video Leo! Hope you keep recording more! :) Much love from Ireland

[@bluetulip21]

My 5 yr old son is not impressed that they are changing the take n plays, buuutt he's addicted to your channel and says he's going to buy all the clearance trains with his allowance and collect them and get a large collectible collection like you :)

[@leokimvideo]

The new Take N Plays have awesome playsets called Thomas Adventures. They are actually quite good. The move away from magnetic coupling may be the best move. But the children of today need to buy the toys and be happy with them. If they are not Mattel will need to think the whole thing over again. The toy companies are up against the amazing free apps on iPads. How can you compete against that?

[@petersullivan3491]

leokimvideo I don't like it I hate the coping

[@tayevon1996edition]

the streamlined thomas trains looks like action thomas

[@gordonpacific04]

The new Thomas and friends Adventures Thomas can actually connect to ertl.

[@Michael-eg3rs]

leo you NEED to go back to making HO mods. I enjoyed them so much! pls bring back some of your classic leokimvideo stuff!

[@bekz9814]

I love your video it touches my heart and puts a smile on my face everytime you play and unboxing the toys if you have any duplacites can please give me them I also live In Australia SYDNEY.

[@0braincellz]

Do more videos like these!

[@SammyWatsit]

I love videos like this which show the timelines of toys! ;D

[@FiercePear]

Please tell me you are not really going to throw those beutifull take alongs and take and plays in the bin.

[@gwroliver3540]

He is not doing it

[@icarussixsixtysix620]

very interesting I also feel the ertl was the best on and I haven't seen the new ones in the shops yet I find your side of he world gets the new Thomas stuff before me ? very very interesting

[@NWRThomas25]

In my Opinion the Current Adventures/Collectible Railway not bad because one the Coupling system is now Compatible withthe ERTL and the Minis Range as ive been exposed to this since 2014 when it first arrive here in the Philiplines it has been a very popular range as it is more Cheap than the Take n Play range before one single engine cost 199.75 Php and a tender engine cost 349.75 pesos vs the TNP Single engine 349.75 and the Tender Engine cost 549.75 to 649.75, As for me u have been Collecting the Take Along and Take n play range since 2003 when it first started and i love how Learning Curve made their Engines more Heavy and more Metal use Vs Mattel using more Plastic and by the time 2014 came well Its more Lighter than before and The Cabs of all the engines sre Squiashed up and it Look kinda ridiculous i was really hoping Mattel would give back the Cabs when it turn to the Adventures range but i was wrong Hopefully the Adventures range would be a Succesful range or we will see this Range be more Cheapen up again by Mattel or be Discontinued all together. Now for my Positives and Negatives Positives -Coupling System more Robust and strong than the Magnets -Engines are more Lighter than before -Some Designs of the engines are Same as their 2014-2016 TNP range -The sets are now feels like a Railway not a Gimmicky fantasy railway Negatives -Engines tend to be more Squashed up in Shape and size (Cabs) -Some engines Faces look Awkward some have Lines in their eyes( Diesel) i think their using the same Process to do the Faces like the MINIS range.

[@glup128]

Awww, but i want all your take n plays D:

Um did you throw the trains away? Or was it a joke? Please reply

[@gwroliver3540]

He was joking

[@twm1569]

I liked the 1980s to the 2000 and 2001 toys because it looked like real trains but the moden tomas toys look to short, after the end of the 2001 to 2002 i stopped collecting after the design change. They should remake the 1980s to 2000 and 2001 with the new connecting to wagons.

[@thomasjc0429]

Well done Leo nearly 1 Million you deserve it :)

[@bronsonsedeno8064]

because of spider videos which aren't going to be continuing apparently. sigh

[@mettaton1669]

the thomas at 6:54 looks awsome

[@derailed-productions]

The main reason I don't like the new couplings is cause they only made the change to save money and that's one of the issues with Mattel they consistently redesign there toys to save money instead of making them better and I can't believe that you actually attempted to snap the coupling on the ertl Thomas at 1:51 lol and not to sound like a mom or anything but instead of throwing away all those Take n plays maybe donate them

[@leokimvideo]

Mattel are up against free apps on iPads, they are doing everything they can to return good profits to the company. There is no law against making a profit but it's curious to see how they change things to make it happen.

[@dannyrvt6924]

Derailed Productions Agree

[@gjgjjgjg1]

i like trains

[@grahamthetankengine5460]

How could you throw away such good toys

[@leahhadley6779]

I love your editing when you cut to the different faces they match awesomely with that's being said 😜

[@lukastrukelj6794]

I have ertl thomas and I just ordered 4 new ertl trains bill,ben,skarloey,peter sam and I got bonus tomy elizabeth. And I have take along thomas that is in perfect condition

[@ThomasCollectables]

Seeing the new Adventures next to the take along Thomas you realise just how much Thomas has been downgraded throughout the years. Congratulations to FlyingTardis, a worthy winner!

[@leokimvideo]

There were many great comments on that giveaway, I actually learned much about the little changes over the years and how that affected some Thomas fans. I did notice the list of things people did not like was huge against the small list of things people liked about Thomas toys. Also notice how many changes have happened since 2012. It's almost as if Mattle are battling to get people to buy this toy now and the cost cutting has begun. 2010 was the iPad Christmas, the birth of the glass generation who have endless free apps to play with. Real toys have taken a huge HiT by this change. I think thats why there is a feeling of panic in the air with toys for children now.

[@ThomasCollectables]

Sadly it was much easier to think of things that I disliked about the current range than those that I liked! Your video made me realise how many changes had happened since 2012, they do seem to change it far too often. Yes, you said in one of your videos how the train sets have become increasingly more gimmicky to compete with apps and I agree. It's hard to even call the sets they produce today "train sets", they are closer to hot wheels sets!

[@leokimvideo]

Yep, in the last few years you can see the panic of change by Mattel. Huge changes since 2012 to now.

[@alicetvizcaino6101]

do a video about a take along thomas love story like you did with the take n play

[@LotsOfPiecesOfJay]

I think that adventures is better than take along and take n play. The couplings look like actual couplings and not a bald man's head. The paint looks loads shinier than the previous. The faces are perfect. Take songs and 2009 take n play look pretty bad whilst this one looks like the show. The only think I don't like us try wheel gauge but other than they it's a 9/10 for me

[@LotsOfPiecesOfJay]

Peter Sullivan adventures couplings actually look like train couplers

[@nathanarrington9651]

I've seen the packaging system here in the US it's the same as the current Take and Play.

[@RileySmith28]

Very close to 1,000,000!!!!

[@Mrjake01568]

Did you really mean to throw those taken play and take a long Thomas trains away?

[@shrimp1920]

Actually the new Thomas die cast is available to Asia Region where it is much cheaper to take n play series. It was replace along side with the Trackmaster series. In particular aspects the two series was replaced to a new set of lineup, Collectible Railway(Take N Play) and Motorized Railway(TrackMaster). Since the take n play and Trackmaster are expensive, Fischer Price decided to refresh its lineup to make it affordable to the consumers. Where as diehard Thomas fans were kinda pissed because of what Fischer Price treated us. We are kinda jealous of what the North Americans has to offer to Thomas and Friends. And you don't have to worry cuz these things occur to Asia Region only.... Actually I had here in my collection are Toby and Emily collectible railway...

[@henrythegreenengine7729]

they literally have ruined my childhood with those two big magnets

[@TheSightedLemon]

Are the paper faced ertls rare? I have Thomas Edward Henry Gordon James Percy Toby and a plastic face duck? So are they very rare?

[@slimmerparrot65]

Great Video Leo, Loved it!

[@awesomeaustin5704]

I'm concerned when you mentioned the low price I usually associate low price with low quality. is that the case here? is it brittle or cheap feeling or something? surely it can't be cheap and good.Also I'm sorry to hear about the death threats on the spider videos I know all to well how rude people online can be.

[@leokimvideo]

Mattel make quality toys, they are cleverly re-designing Thomas to be made in a much cheaper way. They did this with Trackmaster and are now taking Take And Play to a new level. Weather thats up or down is still debatable. Dumping the stupid monopole magnet is I feel a huge step forward, but the smart magnets from 2012 and earlier were always awesome. The huge number of changes lately say to me there is trouble with the price point. One wonders if there will be another design change next year or stability in toy design will set in with Thomas Adventures.

[@pedromontano6229]

[@BrianPannier]

I think the new style Thomas's look like the old ertl couplings

[@mettaton1669]

i love the one on 8:52 too

[@Mrjake01568]

Did you really mean to throw those taken play and take along Thomas trains

[@anthonyn.6176]

To tell you the truth I don't know why Mattel would just go and throw away all the good Thomas toys and replace them with cheap non realistic toys like trackmaster 2 or take n play. Mattel doesn't even care they just want to do it for the money. Nobody asked to reboot the toys they were doing just fine I hope some day somebody who actually cares about Thomas will come and takeover I really don't like what Mattel is doing all Mattel cares about is Barbie. If they don't care about Thomas they should give it back to tomy or learning curve like the ones we had before 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😣😪😢😭😭😭😭😭😧

[@leokimvideo]

The big problem here is Mattel now own the Thomas brand. There is no separation between the brand and toy company. It's causing much confusion and delay. We will never see a Lego Thomas train again, and I'm starting to realize thats a very bad thing. The purists would like to see TOMY do all the Thomas toys. I know in my Thomas collection the TOMY toys are always outstanding.

[@thehaloscrolls391]

Wasn’t it fisher price who introduced Take and Play? Just saying

[@markusmccloud]

+leokimvideo Hey, Leo, is your campaign against dark side toys working? I'm just asking, since I haven't seen you upload any new videos on that subject lately.
