Thx and Merry Xmas

RE: thomas and friends mini series - sweepe07 - 12-25-2015

has anyone ever wondered why they made the collector wheel that holds 16 trains yet they have over 80 trains out. you would think they would make a case to hold them all.

RE: thomas and friends mini series - jdogman - 12-25-2015

The majority of Thomas toys are bought by parents whose kids don't have many already and might not even be largely into Thomas. 16 is an adequate for a child that has a few, and if you were going to a friend's house or on holiday as a child, you'd bring a portable set or your little Collector's Playwheel instead of your whole collection. If a case with 84 spaces was released to the general public, then there would be this expectation that the child is going to get one of every single engine to put in all the spaces, which to me is quite unlikely. According to Fisher-Price, children have 20 Thomas vehicles on average.

In the future, I could see a slightly larger storage case being made in the shape of Thomas which could hold around 30 engines, and it could have a little play scene when opened up.

RE: thomas and friends mini series - sunhuntin - 12-26-2015

by being clever with placement, you can almost double the capacity of the wheel.

if the case could hold 80, many young children would find them too heavy and likely too cumbersome to cart around.

Which 4 pack do you need? There are two sets. I can get them if you let me know.

Also if you have more than 16 you're likely to buy a second case...or more...which are likely more profitable than making cases that hold 80 trains. This is especially true seeing as how they are releasing different themed wheels...

CA always seems to be the first to get the new trains in the us. Are they showing up near the other thomas toys, or are they place with something else? What's the packaging look like?
