Strange - PopGoesOldOllie - 11-04-2017 I found this while looking for some TWR.... RE: Strange - PopGoesOldOllie - 11-05-2017 RE: Strange - RedEngine1 - 11-05-2017 Most likely a knockoff RE: Strange - Chrizzly - 11-06-2017 Judging by the shape of it and the presence of an unknown truck, this is almost definitely a faker. Perhaps Muddy can help us with this problem? RE: Strange - Super - 11-06-2017 Looks to maybe be a Target store so one would assume it not to be an illegal knock off right? RE: Strange - Off The Rails - 11-06-2017 I saw this set at Sam’s (US warehouse club subsidiary of Walmart) a few weeks ago so it’s likely a kind of “gray side” import that just skirts copyright. IIRC, it was one of two sets of 3-4 truck or car-like vehicles, one of which just happens to look a lot like a certain famous blue tank engine. RE: Strange - PopGoesOldOllie - 11-06-2017 I also found these at a few other departments stores. Never seen any knock off stuff at any of these stores, but I guess there's a first for everything. What's even weirder is that I found official Thomas stuff at these same stores previously... RE: Strange - MuddyPoppins - 11-07-2017 I wish I could see it better... Is that white circle on the front a face?? RE: Strange - Off The Rails - 11-07-2017 It’s a stylised smokebox front. Closer to a North American design than the smoother style seen on British, German or Japanese engines.
