I’ve been trying to keep quiet about what I have been seeing from Tomy (if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all), but honestly re-releasing the Original Thomas/ Black James set it the last straw!
All I have seen for months is re-hashed, re-releases, junky thrown together mish mashes of leftover stock and recycled ideas.
The Mountain set’s mountain with its panels is as cheap looking and uninspired as anything FisherPrice has ever released.
Nothing new or substantial has been released in almost a year, not a single new character, or engine.
This re-release of the OT set really bugs me and is very disappointing to see.
My only hope that it has different packaging, and that there are subtle differences to the engines themselves that will identify it as a re-release.
It’s a great set, but what is the point of having exclusive releases that are supposed to be special, when they turn around and de-value them by re-releasing them?
TOMY is sucking lately.
