thomas and friends mini series

I'm pretty sure the re-releases are being made in China too. You could see the differences in the quality with the ones that were in the Costco pack. They seem lighter in color and weight. Hoping this improves. Really disappointing to see such a great toy line for the past few years already starting to diminish in quality.

This is interesting, I need to pull two of these side by side and compare them.
It's not going to be fun but I'll try to do this.
