Wattup Jay, here’s a question I have for ya, when sonic 3 comes out are you gonna do a review of it or are you just gonna post thousands of memes from it🤣🤣🤣
on the talk of weird 2013 stuff stepney had two variants one with a short and one with a long funnel so does d261 with diffent shades of red being used
So I got my hands on an absolute mint copy of Sodor: its people history and railways all the way back in like 2011. It’s one of the ultra rare versions that was signed by Awdry and his brother (I remember reading that only the first 100 copies were signed and it has a special wrap around paper confirming it’s signed) it was an absolute steal too, I got it for $50 back in the day.
If you decide to make a part 3, I would definitely suggest looking into the Thomas Toys sold by Bandai in Germany during the late 90s. They mostly sold Thomas Wooden Railway, Ertl Die-Cast Items along with My First Thomas toys in Germany, the items sold were mostly identical to their local counterparts, outside of the packaging and some of the rolling stock. Most of the English Text was translated into German and the Packaging featured the RTL2 logo on it. They are also quite obscure compared to other country specific Thomas Items. Great video BTW!
2:59 Ha! Walthers, a model train dealer in the United States, offered the smaller face Ferdinand and Origins James in their catalogs for a while, and I think very few people ordered them because most people who picked up the catalog were here for REAL model trains and not toys, let Thomas toys. A local hobby store near me had that smaller face Ferdinand sitting on a Wooden Railway table. They've long since gotten rid of it, as they are slowly in the process of getting completely out of model railroading (the only person who worked there who was interested in trains left). I had no idea it was rare. I thought I owned a rare VHS tape, but as it turns out, it was never an official release and was cobbled together by somebody who is experienced with modifying VHS tapes. It starts out as the regular US release of "Trust Thomas", but after the credits completely end after "The Trouble with Mud", the screen goes black for a minute, and then it starts playing "Steam to St Louis:The 1990 NRHS Convention" by Greg Scholl Productions. I've been told that people would modify VHS tapes in the 1990s and combined stuff, but the only examples I've heard of have involved Disney movies. I've never seen this done with Thomas. It is an absolute shame this is not an official release either, because that would be a BRILLIANT idea: a VHS tape containing both Thomas the Tank Engine and real steam trains.
10:13 I can confirm, my millie's back coupling has stopped working. Out of my huge die cast collection, the only other engine with deteriorated magnets is a take along or take n play Annie, but that was significantly older
9:37 side note. Micheal Angelis does not seem to voice the later non interactive ones at all. It is the guy that narrated the Hero of the rails DS/Wii game. The wiki is incorrect in saying it is Angelis.
12:10 Maybe id that got released i would have found him and Duck in the same store on the same day, i still remember finding a Salty AND a Porter in some store back in 2014 around the time Spills and Thrills came out...😂
The reason that Gordon set being so rare is because those buffers were removable. I know this because I still have mine but the buffers went missing years ago, or I miss placed them
So I have that Take Along/Take n' Play Silver Thomas. and I kid you not I have no idea how in the world it ended up in my collection of Diecasts I had as a kid. It just appeared in the bin one day
I own Ertl Emily and Frank. Very interesting, I know. I also own Secret Agent Thomas. No idea where he is. Same with Frank. I know I left him on my desk, but I can't find him. He's hiding somewhere and I intend to find where.
A rare take ‘n’ play pack no one talks about is the “Rebuilding Great Waterton” pack. I believe it was a Walmart Canada exclusive. I’ve only seen one photo of it on the internet.
i saw the talking goldenbear stanly at a toy stand for a few quid and a friend bought it, i might have to steal it, they also took the big ertl percy in mint condition which i wanted
I’m pretty sure more than 15 copies of the 1945 three railway engines have sold in the last 79 years, you probably mean how many have sold in the last 15 years
Oh look who it is!!! As a kid of the 90s who grew up and lived month-to-month, if I ever got some merch, it was always one at a time and they had to last, whether it be ERTL, Wooden, Hornby, VHS tapes, DVDs, books, whatever, and anything expensive was out of the question... I'm pretty sure I owned ERTL Emily and Harvey... Meh. I was done with the brand at that point. These days, I'm just a cranky old man whenever someone on eBay sells VHS tapes like Ghost Train, Chad Valley or that fucking Christmas tape for hundreds of £s...
had the diesel 10 one not have him and dodge not stuck together with no way to be let out i would of bought it by now if i could find it for less then 300 but them 2 being pretty much glued together is a giant deal breaker for me
I only get characters I want when they are cheap enough I was recently able to get Trackmaster Dennis for $40 and Trackmaster Arthur for $50 But Murdoch is the one Trackmaster character I am desperately trying to get but he's always insanely expensive. I fear I may never be able to get him!
"Hello Everybody, Thomasfan261 Here"
Those words are words we needed to hear.
6:27 I always wanted this, I loved the cool moveable Pinchy ❤
3:06 i had this james but i lost it. little did my kid mind knew i was playing with a rare wooden railway item.
126k views on the first part at least 1 of them has to be wesley snipes

on the talk of weird 2013 stuff stepney had two variants one with a short and one with a long funnel so does d261 with diffent shades of red being used
hearing jay freak out about take n play 2012/13 is peak ending a thomas video

Take Along Hiro: where am I at?
4:53
This man spent four months cooking an absolute banger part 2. Welcome back, man.
2017 Wooden Timothy brings me great pain
I'm just now realizing an estimated 50% of my huge Tak-N-Play collection is from 2012 - 2013.
Then there's me, most of my collection are from BWBA and AEG😭
4:26 Should be a meme!

FINALLY THE LEGEND IS BACK
YEAAAAAA
1:11 I have a ertale salty and Neil up in the attic
Great to have ya back Sean and awesome video and also on the topic of Thomas merch I’m just gonna say it I want Lego Thomas sets
10:13 I can confirm, my millie's back coupling has stopped working. Out of my huge die cast collection, the only other engine with deteriorated magnets is a take along or take n play Annie, but that was significantly older

Nice video. Missed the 0 gauge Meccano clockwork Percy
The 2017 bill and Ben are unbelievably rare there’s only a few pics of them
I had harvey and frank!! I might go look for em someday
Rosie actually got a 2013 variant but it is rare like 2013 take n play Douglas
I remember buying the silver 2013 Take N Play Thomas at a train show 5 years ago
Never Regretted That $5 Purchase
I own an ERTL Isabel. Wanted to complete the Escape trio. Probably the rarest piece of Thomas merch I have.
12:10 Maybe id that got released i would have found him and Duck in the same store on the same day, i still remember finding a Salty AND a Porter in some store back in 2014 around the time Spills and Thrills came out...😂
nice video
i currently own the missing coach puzzle. its a real unique thing to have
Sweet
2:55 there is also a 2017 redesign TLE Oliver as well and that’s also pretty rare
Talk 'n' Action Diesel 10 is so freaking epic.
Who knew Norman of all characters could be so rare in Take N Play
He was also meant to be updated on the 2013 style too I believe.
Maybe for a video idea, u could rank ur favourite episodes or characters or maybe ur least favourite episodes🤔
I remember I had a boss pullback diesel 10 had a moveable pinchy that opened and closed , so no , the talk and action diesel 10 is not the only one
The reason that Gordon set being so rare is because those buffers were removable. I know this because I still have mine but the buffers went missing years ago, or I miss placed them
Idc what anyone says, the metallic take alongs have always been a dream of mine to own. The Oliver one looks like some candy that I would eat
2:59 I didn’t even know that Ferdinand and Timothy got a new design.
The Stanley At 2:39 looks like his season 12 version of himself
THE LEGEND IS BACK‼️‼️‼️‼️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Welcome back after 4 months
I had Ertel models! A hobby shop I went to had ertel thomas brand new in the box, along with a James set
13:01 I did read somewhere about reports of a 2013 Duke redesign, which would fit right in with these strange releases.
The king is back
12:22 spencer even got a pull n zoom version made in 2013 but not a regular version
So I have that Take Along/Take n' Play Silver Thomas.
and I kid you not I have no idea how in the world it ended up in my collection of Diecasts I had as a kid. It just appeared in the bin one day
i actually have the 2017 thomas, it was one of the few i got in store (twr isn't as common in ireland)
2013 Take N Play Douglas is weird to me cause I remember seeing an unboxing video for it and have never seen it since
Yo guys I noticed something on Thomasfans profile pic
I noticed that he’s missing his front wheel and his siderod is attached to nothing at the front
I really enjoyed the 1st one
I own Ertl Emily and Frank.
Very interesting, I know.
I also own Secret Agent Thomas. No idea where he is. Same with Frank. I know I left him on my desk, but I can't find him. He's hiding somewhere and I intend to find where.
boy have i been waiting for this
There is also a Thomas ertl diecast model you probably didn't know that it exists, which is the silver ertl Thomas
So glad ur back
Babe Wake Up, Thomasfan261 uploaded on a Saturday
Also in early 2014 the 2013 engines got some details removed like buffer paint
I used to have a load of take along toys when I was little! Good to see you back as well.
I collect the diseney cars collection and I can agree
2013 Douglas needs more documentation fr
A rare take ‘n’ play pack no one talks about is the “Rebuilding Great Waterton” pack. I believe it was a Walmart Canada exclusive. I’ve only seen one photo of it on the internet.
As a Canadian, even I never heard of that
HES BACK!!! HES BACK!!!!! MOMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!
Its a shame that Some of the coolest merch is so rare
Oh interesting I have all those versions of tnp that were mentioned in this video, except Douglas tnp 2013
And Elizabeth, there was also ERTL Elizabeth
"Bee James SPONGEB-"
i saw the talking goldenbear stanly at a toy stand for a few quid and a friend bought it, i might have to steal it, they also took the big ertl percy in mint condition which i wanted
Guess who's back, back again...
Breaking my sleep schedule was worth it 🙏
Awww, thanks for saying you love us man
I’m pretty sure more than 15 copies of the 1945 three railway engines have sold in the last 79 years, you probably mean how many have sold in the last 15 years
I looked to that origins James on eBay AND I INSTANTLY FOUND IT FOR 36 BUCKS 💀💀
You’re telling me that rainbow Thomas is rare? 😳
Oh look who it is!!!

I currently own the Origins James with shrunken face
Take Along and Take-n-Play making the big city engine and Class 40 but not BoCo is as weird as Trackmaster making Bertram but not Daisy.
Anther fantastic video!

PEAKLEAK guys
I only get characters I want when they are cheap enough
I was recently able to get Trackmaster Dennis for $40 and Trackmaster Arthur for $50
But Murdoch is the one Trackmaster character I am desperately trying to get but he's always insanely expensive.
I fear I may never be able to get him!
Great To See You Sean
He is back

It’s a shame they change the take n play switching the wooden railway magnets and squish them down small they were doing fine with them in 2013
