We are getting theatrical release of Sodor's Legend Of The Lost Treasure in August and I believe rest of the world has to wait until September with no theatrical release just dvd. I think that is only for the UK. I was actually at a toy fair a few months ago where I saw an event timeline for this year in Australia, and all I saw was Dinos and Discoveries DVD release, Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure film release, the Lost Treasure DVD release, and "various events" for stores. However in the upcoming 70th Anniversary theme in Capsule Plarail, the preview poster showed a black James with a screenshot from The Adventure Begins which raises my hopes a little bit. If not a DVD release, a TV broadcast at the very least should happen since there was recently in America. The UK did just get a cinemas release date for Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure before us, but beforehand, it was nice that we got the last four movies before other countries, not that I ever went to see them in cinemas. I'm sorry, I'm going to get back on the topic now.

We were devoid of getting all of Seasons 8-11 of the show for years. At least you get all your Toys R Us, Target, Walmart, and Khols' exclusives. We were only lucky enough to get the mid-2007 Take Along Thomas and early 2009 Wooden Railway releases before you guys, and it took us until 2009 to fully get TrackMaster. You also have your precious Wooden Railway online store full of exclusives and unique one-off engines. We only got a pop-up shop and occasional promotional vehicles, and we get the series of Minis before you guys. We're still waiting and hoping that The Adventure Begins gets a release downunder and strays from becoming a Walmart exclusive, so think about us for a change.
(This is all me being sarcastic and playing around by the way I'm not fussed about it all, even though I still haven't seen The Adventure Begins...)
Alright, on the serious and real side of me. Who knows what has happened here and why it has happened in this way. I'm guessing that Australia just got lucky this time round being closer to the Thailand shipping factories and there was no deadline. I know the US will get the Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure items soon, and I'm sure things like Crash and Repair Salty and Wild Water Rescue will come to the US, quite lately too. I'm pretty sure we didn't know about the new 2014 products this early last year either. I'm guessing the UK/Europe exclusives will stay that way for whatever reason, but it's always been like that. I don't think you could ever get all of it that easily!
By the way, I hate most acronyms. A few years ago, I personally wouldn't have though TRU would be Toys R Us since the word is spaced as so. Thomas fans use them all the time and sometimes so excessively that I lose sight on what they're talking about, especially on Twitter when they're making lots of posts within the character limit. I knew people who said TST refering to Troublesome Truck. Just say Truck!

Anyone find Ryan or Mike or Treasure Chase Set in the USA yet?
Amazon sells the Treasure Chase set. As for Mike and Ryan there is a seller on Amazon selling them from New York but to me is way over priced for an engine and 2 cars.
Thanks so much, Super!! I had been hunting for the treasure chase set and I swear I looked on amazon a couple days ago and it wasn't there yet. Ordered!!
thanks, j. another set i had no idea was coming. boy, i need to do some catch up!
FYI everybody, the SHIPWRECK RAILS set I pre-ordered directly from fisher price just shipped. So that set is now in the USA officially. I know one person in California was selling it on eBay for a ton of $ for the last week or so but that had me curious.
Now for Ryan & Mike!!
