THEY MADE THOMAS MOTORIZED REBOOT TOYS

I wouldn't reccomend buying the AEG stuff until the reboot fails. If we buy the AEG stuff then we are basically saying we like the reboot.

@FfarquharDeveloper, What exactly do you mean by "AEG" ?

All Engines GO, the subtitle of the Reboot.

Ah, stupid me. Thanks LaG

Also I agree to not buy the reboot toys at all, and if you have to (which I highly doubt), do it when it dies.

I bet Mattel's next move is to pull the plug on the Plarail Thomas range like they did with Chuggington.

I wasn't aware that Mattel ever held any rights to Chuggington, but I'm no kind of expert. Please explain.

I don't think they do but Mattel is probably going to make Takara Tomy kill off their current Thomas range quick to get those Japanese people to buy the reboot stuff. I bet the current Plarail Thomas will die soon due to switching most of the Thomas ranges to the new style.

I'm hoping Plarail keeps Thomas as is. I bet Mattel's next move is to pull the plug on the Plarail Thomas range like they did with Chuggington. They're probably going to make Takara Tomy get rid of the Thomas range as they don't fit well with Mattel's standards. Probably why not much Plarail Thomas products have been released this year.

This new Motorized range will probably replace both the current Motorized & the Plarail ranges.

If Mattel were to force Japan to stop producing Thomas than that would be enough evidence they are only making these failed reboots just to burn the older fans off.

I know Bachmann will survive so given Plarail is a third party brand we do have some hope.

I just want to sue Mattel for ruining our public image.

I can confirm that Mattel does not really like their Hit Entertainment properties if they are trying to keep fixing things that aren't broken but never learn.

@ThomasSirHandel, The worst part is that we can't sue mattel no matter that there are thousands of fans, no matter if TheUnluckyTug was there, not even with Optimus Prime we could overthrow mattel. They have political correctness and have support of the United Nations. We classic fans are just being opressed as mattel does not care for us one bit.

The Wikipedia page for the reboot says it was going to be S25 but was later made into a separate series. So if the rumors are true it's likely we will still be getting CGI merch from TrackMaster Motorized and Plarail.

Mattel was probably spying on the internet to see people's responses.  Given so many negative feedback before the merchandises launched, they will have to keep a seperate line.  finger cross.
