Thomas The Tank Adventures toys are some of the most popular toys for young children. But these train toys have changed many times recently. I take a journey from the classic 1984 Paper Faced ERTL to Thomas Collectible Railway and this reveals just how much this small toy train has changed. In a strange way the price has not changed but what you get for your money has. Many will claim the ERTL Thomas was toy perfection, it's weak link was a poorly designed train coupling system. Then Learning Curve re-formatted Thomas die cast toys into a very distorted cute train that used clever magnets that worked both ways. These toys were known as Take Alongs and have proven to be some of the best small Thomas toys due to their robust design and ease of play. The early Take Alongs had lots of metal in their design, but that started to change and the front boiler became plastic. Take Alongs changed to Take And Play. Then Mattel started to make these toys. For a long time not much changed until the shock of a downturn of sales had Mattel re-invent the toys to appeal to the iPad generation. 2012 saw the last of the classic Take N Play Thomas and 2013 saw some major changes to the Take n Play Thomas. Many people started to ask where these changes needed or ever asked for. But the underlying reason for change was profit. The toys were being cheapened down. Thomas lost his drivers cab and a clever magnet system that was rarely ever complained about. A dumb monopole magnet that looked ugly was landed on the small Take And Play toys. Then by 2016 this failed change was replaced with a non magnetic coupling that actually has some really positive aspects. This Thomas toy that's like take And Play is known as Thomas Collectible Railway. The small Thomas toys have always been awesome, sadly the most awesome ones were made many years ago now. Thats why you hear the term classic toys. Many of today's plastic fantastic toys will never become classics.
The winner of the Thomas / Brio giveaway is announced in the video, a stunning comment that really explores the heart of how change can sometimes cause confusion and delay.
