When does Fisher-Price actually consider something released? Is there any announcement, as Takara Tomy does for Plarail? It's really a little unusual not to release a Christmas train at least a month before Christmas, right?
There are also some products that are released ... but somehow not quite. An interesting example is the “Nia and the Elephant Set” (the one with the nice bridge). I saw an unboxing video on YouTube back in July. However, it seems that the set has not yet been released according to the Fisher-Price website, it is not on Amazon, but I saw it on eBay, where you can get those three new small sets with Edward & Bulstrode, Gordon and Thomas, too. Are these sets released for sale at all, when they can’t be purchased anywhere else? And how are they available on eBay and nowhere else?
As for the AEG engines, they only released Thomas, Percy, Muddy Thomas and Party Percy. Somewhere on the net (it seems to me on Twitter) I saw that someone also got the "Fix‘ em up Friends Set" (the one with Carly and Sandy), but I couldn't find it anywhere online. And what's with that big "Thomas & Percy Cargo Race Train Set"? You could buy it in Australia only, and now it popped up on eBay. And nowhere else.
All in all, the launch of new products at that company seems a bit strange to me. I don't have much experience with Fisher-Price products; does anyone know anything more about this?
