Fisher Price "redesigned" them not because they were flawed, but strictly for profit!! It is an inferior hunk of garbage, as is the idea of a "stunt train"... They are all hype and flash, but without a solid foundation of substance. The old models were far superior to the Revolutions in every way, as were the sets, and overall concept of their uses and playability. I have watched countless demos of climbing gimmicky sets that fail 25% of the time with these junky little engines, and nearly 100% of the time with the old versions, sending them crashing to the ground!! One of the main reasons I chose the trackmaster line was its reliability and durability, but not as a reason to purposely abuse them..these new sets and whole line conceptually is just a lot of smoke being blown back up your own smokestacks!!! Greed is why they exist. Period.
I'm going to sound like a broken record here (and might unintentionally sound like I'm trying to start an argument) but isn't the point of a company to make a profit? It's not greed, it's just good business. *gets shot*
While I know that the new trains are nowhere near as good as the old ones, I wouldn't call them bad. They're lower quality but are still somewhat reasonably good build quality from what I can tell
