If only Mattel understood this video. Problem is the real panic from the collapsed share price has them short on more then good ideas. Last year Hasbro had attempt 1 at buying out Mattel. I expect attempt 2 is coming very soon. If we are really lucky Tomy will grab the franchise and save the Thomas empire. But not even Tomy could save Chuggers, and that worries me.

0:50 "You are a knock off, who should feel ashamed of himself" *cries intensifies*

0:31 if that happens lord have mercy on my soul.

1:52 Diary of a Wimpy Kid book? You have good tastes in reading

Another good reason not to let Mom throw out your old toys.

2:29 "Go buy Thomas Wood today! Boo!" LOL

4:02 eBay has become my new friend for Thomas merchandise

WE NEED HIT TOY AND LEANING CURVE TO TAKE BACK THE WOODED RAILWAY/TRACKMASTER/TAKE ALONG

2:56 YOUR GONNA MAKE EVERYONE END UP WITH 0$

Take-Along and early Take And Play were my favorite bits of Thomas Merchandise.

How about my *tomas the thermonuclear bomb*

I’ve been saying this for a while now: “Japan gets all the good stuff.” Edit: He predicted that toysrus would be bankrupt. Maybe it won’t take 5 years.

At Walmart the super station is 40$

You know what is the funniest thing of the video..... He bought all of the merchandice

1:13 I COULD ASK THE SAME QUESTION.

*The Past Was Better Then The Future*

a guy who plays with toys for young children this man is a god

It all changed when Mattel attacked

i like how this perfectly sums up the entire thomas merch storyline. also keep up the good work. 😉

Why do you have 4 minutes worth of Thomas toys.... also Logan Paul Thomas 1:23

1:37 oof

My parents sold the wooden line in the late 90s/early 2000s before it went to big chain stores. Kinda went downhill after Britt Alcroft sold the brand.

All Of This Is 100% True!

This video definitely sums up my view on Thomas merch over the years growing up. Seeing the new toys now really disappoint me, they don't make dem like they used to. I miss Take Along/Learning Curve and Tomy. The classics will always be better than what we have now. Glad I still got my old sets but dang these new ones look terrible😂. And I hate those midget versions of them.

Thomas didn't deserve this merchandise torture

2:32 BOO THOMAS WOOD

I feel like your explaining Thomas Toys in a nutshell very well.

Thomas merchandise was so much better when I was a kid. We had the Ertl diecast models, and they were AWESOME. They made, like, every character. Though I'm glad they did away with the stick-on faces and went for the 3D ones. You know, this decline in Thomas merchandise is very similar to the recent decline in Star Wars merchandise. The problem? Well, besides quality, it's quantity. Oversaturation.

0:29 I used to have that thomas when i was little.

Meanwhile in Japan : Wow we're making money! Meanwhile in the US : **Crys**

Who here likes the trackmaster line, I grew up with the line through out my childhood and replacing that and making ANOTHER LINE is annoying making all your trains and money spent useless so now you get to beg your dad to waste 1,000 more dollars total on another line forever and ever until you get a job. And My trackmaster trains don't work well with the new line. Wut trainline went through 2012 or something. Idk

100$ is cheaper than 40$ and 14$. *insert lenny face here*

I remember this last Christmas

AWESOME!

This video's point about the merch getting worse and worse just gets better and better as the years go on (except the 2022 TWR stuff I guess)

The only problem is it has a great way for people like to be friends or to use their blinkers

"Now you can buy some TOMY engines today!" we have: 1.Duck the Great Western engine 2.Donald 3.Douglas 4.Oliver the Great Western engine 5.Lady 6.Splatter and Dodge 7.Murdoch 8.Stepney 9.Skarloey 10.BoCo 11.Sir Handel 12.Bill the tank engine twin 13.Ben the tank engine twin 14.Mavis 15.Harvey 16.Arthur 17.Rosie 18.Molly 19.Neville 20.Rusty 21.Duncan

I actually liked the take along toys😂

My childhood fell in to the pit of hell

2:19 we can see Mack from cars

This is so relatable.

Fun fact I actually have the Thomas ornament

You forgot the Hit Toys company line (2006 - 2009) which was in the middle of trackmaster and tomy motor road and rail

1:02 - 1:05 Am I wrong, or are those almost comparable in size to the old Ertl miniature Thomas playset trains of the 90s? (God, if I had the excess dough, I'd buy one of every piece of those, to replace the broken ones I played with over and over as a kid... XD )

"Thomas and Friends: Lost in TOMY-geddon" in theaters Fall 2026

I’m just being reminded when I went to a charity shop and found the Super Station for no joke. £5!

is this why the cars toys look better then the Thomas toys? 2:51

ToyRus was bankrupt *Mattel screaming*

0:13 I actually have both of those Thomas toys! The wooden one had a flashlight though. Also, is it me or am I the only one who remembers Chugginton?

NGL that Bandai Thomas looks cool.

A cheaper logan model for 40 Thats perfect

Thomas Wood is fully painted now so now it's just a simply named Thomas Wooden Railway with things and holes in the coaches

This is too much Thomas merch for one man to own.

Mattel Employee: Also put all of your effort into Jurassic World because it's lit. All in one scale. No bullet holes. Great sculpts. Paint Jobs that aren't shit.

This is my fav vid on this channel

Lol im 17 years old but i still wanna buy thomas sets

The trackmaster to look like CGI is horrified

3:20 Bandai Dexter

How to fix Mattel 1: you can't.

Chuggington is that you? I almost forgot about you!

Hit toy company and Tomy are both awesome toy lines

0:02 city of turo

Some of these are now $25 to $30 just for a little wooden one. Those are probably realistically like five dollars to make

Great D199 reference.

R.I.P. Toys R Us 1948-2018

Mattel does not really understand of what we want for Thomas and Friends.

#roadto1M ive been a fan since you switched to this channel !

Fucking beautiful, just beautiful.

This is Thomas merch in a nutshell

0:29 where did you get that Thomas I really want it

The most accurate video ever

Take Along came in the UK in 2005.

BUY OUR BABY BRANDING

0:00 when everything is fine and fresh and everything is calm.

Back when you were critical of thomas... not that it matters but i think you were younger and new to youtube and wanted to make in impression i also like how you keep up with thomas despite the hardships the thomas brand wasn't doing as good as mattel's other brands in 2018 but i like think that from 2019 to now they are doing better

1:50 lel

0:29 (GASPS) AAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!

Bro I remember seeing the Thomas ordiment and thinking it was bochmann but got sad when I found it it wasn’t

all true. but one thing. u missed Hornby (although i guess u may not have any Hornby Thomas)

I must say.... My little cousin has all of this. Including the super station thingy. Also 2 train tables..... I had about 900 dollars worth of thomas toys and 100 worth of tracks...

Now I'm planning on getting more Minis and more Plarail ones, and Trackmasters, a little bit of take alongs, and Start Collecting Wood.

This video is the main reason im going to the store to buy a fuck load of thomas trains at walmart

Bonus: No more Adventures, push along We still get Thomas wood but we’re adding details to it now Mattel worker: sir it’s the 75th anniversary of Thomas what do we do Mattel: I have a idea GET THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY PUSH ALONG DIAMOND THOMAS AND GET THE METALLIC THOMAS, PERCY, JAMES AND NIA AND ALSO GET THE GOLDEN TRACKMASTER THOMAS but it’s not really shiny only his smokebox is. We also rebranded Thomas wood but we gave it’s original name Since the reboot is out we decided to make trackmaster and push along out of it an- OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT ABOMINATION Oh well at least we still got Wooden Railway and Minis

In other words, you'll never find an actual 1:1 scale Thomas model

0:39 Much better! Freakishly huge magnetic couplers! Woohoo! Now there's no more choking hazards, which means that we don't have to waste our money putting stupid safety warnings on our stupid merch!

01:49 Buy our baby brandon

Wow, that's a lot of different versions of thomas

Nice Memes! Lol!

I say hail the wooden Thomas

I love the my busy book engines

2:20 i have that lego fire truck too!
