thomas and friends mini series

I’ll be honest, in a way I was hoping they didn’t turn out to be real. As cool as a sports theme is, combined with a sport I’m not too familiar with, I’d love to have them. I just fear they will be too exclusive and hard to come by that I’ll never get them without forking over a ton of money. It’s already an expensive hobby at times. Hope I’m wrong and they aren’t too rare, If they do actually come out.
