Is there one bigger that the 161 piece Thomas Ultimate set?
that is a great question.
what is the biggest set? in numerical value?
good question.
this set of 161 pieces. poses a interesting dilemma.
anyone wish to chip in on the "biggest set"?
as it pertains to pieces?
revolution set are in inches and feet. not pieces.
certainly a marketing gimmick.
but interesting all the same.

Takara Tomy will put Mattel to shame. Mattel will be so speechless on how superior the Plarial products are that Mattel will have to give the rights of making motorized engines to Tomy again.
you bring up a, VERY, interesting point.
one that has been debated over many years
but! would you really want this?
i ask this question, not because i wish to change your opinion.
i ask because of the dynamic presented by plarail versus trackmaster.
plarail ( and don't get me wrong here! i love 'em! )
plaraial equals===> polished, refined, accurate. the only drawback to plarail is that it must retain a linear composition.
therefore, plarail limits itself. not in a bad way. it is just the nature of the beast.
on the other hand, trackmaster breaks from the tradition. it sacrifices polish, refined, accuracy.
and therefore, quality. that is the discrepancy between the two.
however, what trackmaster brings to the table is important.
that importance is...
it breaks the linear mode.
