My latest buys

On my birthday, June 30, I went to Target and bought the 2013 Edward and Ferdinand. I've had a rather difficult time finding a 2013 Edward, so I managed to strike out this time. Ferdinand, though, I was rather on the fence for. Initially his 2013 model didn't appeal to me, but since it was there, I figured I'd go for him and stay up to date. Here they is:

Comparing them to their pre-2013 counterparts:





I'm contemplating putting the older ones up on ebay along with a couple other Take Along and Take and Play models...

Nice buys, I think if you sell the older ones you might regret it one day.

Are there any differences besides the wheels?

They are noticeably lighter. Some have other alterations: Henry's front is redone, James has a detail of his whistle on the top of his cab, the Diesels have siderods, and though it's rather hard to tell, Edward and James' handrails extend onto their smokeboxes(though that part is black).

Today I went to Walmart and I got the 2013 Toby and Charlie. I'll be posting about them once I get some shots of 'em.
