OMG I finally found the NEW SPANKY Thomas Wooden Railway Thomas The Tank and NEW TWR Playsets. TOYMATE had the stock in store and I have been searching for this 2021 Thomas toy for 2 years now. This new Thomas TWR now uses classic wooden railway track connectors. All the dumb ideas that were present in Thomas Wood both painted and unpainted have been stamped out. The new Thomas Wooden Railway is a premium high quality toy / collectable. It oozes quality, class and collectability, it does not disappoint BUT it comes at a high price. Now I can finally see how beautiful this new TWR Thomas is it has me wondering why did Mattel dump the classic TWR and develop Thomas Wood. What was the main driving force to make this change. I have looked over Thomas & Friends toys for many years and constant change is very much part of the fabric of this toy. But the stripping down, downsizing and misfit track connectors of Thomas Wood showed everyone that even the greatest minds in the toy industry make huge mistakes. But was it really a mistake? Or just part of the game of change for change sake.

I also show a scene that was not in my video about the trashed Hot Wheels stock that was on the pegs being sold for full price. This damaged / soiled stock was scanning at $2. Some people suggested this stock would scan at a reduced price. Sadly no, it was full price at the scanners.

  • Glad to see you finally found the new Wooden Thomas! I will say despite the packaging being copyright to 2021, these didn't start showing up in the US until this time last year in 2022. I think they were produced in 2021 and that's why the packaging has that date. The listing for this Thomas first showed up in August of 2021 on Amazon as a preorder, but then around October people who had preordered were told by Amazon it would be delayed. It's still crazy it took a year longer for you to find this in Australia, but it's only about a year old toy at this point, not two thankfully. I personally would love to see you make another video on the Thomas, I don't think anyone can articulate their thoughts on this new Wooden Railway in a way that you would, and I would really enjoy watching it.

    Hello Leo, last time I was here was about 2014-2015, crazy how the time went by, I am now 17 and I have become a NASCAR fan, I'm just trying to relive my childhood for a week or two, I really appreciate the memories you made for me, I still miss the good days of the raises cab and good magnets, once again, I really appreciate the memories

    Sandy sands the tracks...der! :P ..the new wooden thomas look great

    It's amazing the new TWR Models are finally arriving, I remember back when previous models would take at least a year or two to finally arrive. They're closing the waiting gap by just a bit haha.

    That Wooden Railway Thomas looks amazing. Sadly here in Costa Rica, its extremely hard to get a Thomas toy, even the Knockoffs are very hard to find. I wonder if you can make a comparation between an early Thomas Wooden Railway Thomas with the 2021 version.

    Man, I remember your old videos when you use too smash toys with me hammer and looking back to that makes me really happy 😄
  • Glad your still making videos Love you vids ever since I found your channel :)
  • The face designs of the new Thomas Wooden Railway's face designs (printed details) allow for variety of facial expressions (which explains why the stock standard Percy has a shocked face and vice versa)
  • @PaulRestorer

    Just recently I found the new 2022 Thomas wooden railway models in Australia as well I do like how they brought back the wooden railway range and the new models are quite nice the wheels are interesting but i dont hate them
  • @BricklyDragon
    I can't unsee that Annie and Clarabelle look like toasters now. I thought it was a cool idea at first but You're right. They do like like toasters on wheels.

    I miss the old Thomas toys i was born in 2008 but I was able to play with alot of the old stuff and you also made my childhood
  • I wish they still used the motorized stuff for the trackmaster lol But cool wooden railway stuff! Maybe Thomas's all engines go design is actually kinda decent!
  • Hey again Leo! I still haven’t managed to find these in stores. But I also haven’t checked my local toy mate. And what drives me mad is that Mattel wasted like 3 or 4 years with Thomas wood which was a absolute flop and waste of money and time. I only got my hands on a painted Diesel which was such cheap quality to the former TWR. I can only imagine how the new TWR is as I’ve heard such amazing reviews. Hopefully we get them soon, all the best!
  • Yes! You finally got the wooden railway 2022 stuff. After about a year I have seen the pictures, and they looked quite promising and Then I got my hands-on one of them, and they looked spectacular in their realistic feature details Even the printing on the wheels as well as Giving a little bit of facial expressions.
  • Underrated, but. Thank you for making my childhood dude. I remeber when I was 5 I would always laugh at the “fail reels” Thank you.
