Trackmaster Revolution (TMR) New releases

Ucwepn · 2015-05-07T11:44:13+00:00

Hi all I thought I would start a new sticky the same as the Plarail new release thread. So kicking it off with Mid 2015 Sodor's Legend Of The Lost Treasure...

@leyland At least the button for Stephen’s coach mostly matches the color scheme so from far away it’s kind of hard to tell it’s not part of the actual coach. With Annie and Clarabel the bright red just sticks out like a sore thumb.

At last, we have Gordon! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KlBY2vIVpNM

He’s probably my favorite, his face looks great, although the blush is a little faint (but I like that it’s blended into the face rather than just two red splotches)
Has anyone seen any of these available in the U.S., or does anyone know when they’ll be released in the States? I’m getting kind of anxious that they may not be released here at all with the news of the Motorized reboot stuff. Thanks.

I can't help it, all these new Trackmaster/Fisher Price toys look like cheap Chinese knockoffs to me. Terrible.

Oh, excuse me, Chinese knockoffs look waaay better these days! :dodgy:

Gordon's Trackmaster 2 Express coach looks pretty disappointing. it looks similar to Annie and Clarabelle to a certain degree.

I am surprise the youtube reviewer didn't talk about the removable coal off Gordon's tender.

I now have half of the talking engines or as I call them 'noisemakers' while yeah they aren't the best in proportions they're actually pretty fun to play and mess around with. Also a lot of meme potential with all the voicelines.

Trainboy90 Productions

Probably because the new reboot line, I don't think the current talking engines are going to last long in production. They're probably going to be discontinued by the end of the year all because of AEG.

leylandvictory2

i wish there is a way to disable the engines from talking. it is annoying

Is the metallic 4-pack still for sale? I cannot find it.

@TB90
I honestly don't think they'll drop the CGI motorized since they seem to be taking the reboot cautiously and have used the CGI Thomas in a few of the advertisements the Reboot Thomas appears in.

I think it's only in the UK at the moment. It'll probably hit Stores in the US between September to November.

it may take longer than that Wal Mart in Canada still doesn't carry the trackmaster 2 tanker sets yet.

Tons of Trackmasters

Glad to add to this thread with three new releases. (obviously Mattel is just getting rid of excess stock here)

Edward and Gordon don't even have tenders, how lazy were they?

DalaGStanator

They still have the tenders. Mattel only decided to promote the specialized action trucks without having to make room for them.

ThomasSirHandel

Interesting they are still marketing Edward in sets after being dropped from the Steam Team.

My guess is that Mattel made these extra sets as back ups for when the AEG merch doesn't do well.

leylandvictory2

You can get the same rolling stock from previous sets. They should at least use different colour to make the newest sets more attractive to buyers.

Looking at the front picture on the box of the "Fisher-Price Thomas & Friends Edward & Bulstrode Track Set" it could be concluded that Bulstrode has a black painted roof (as in "Al Around Sodor Deluxe Set"):

But according to the photo from the back, Bulstrode appears to be bald, i.e. no painted roof (as in the “Talking Thomas & Percy Train Set”):

Also, notice the error in the German text: Thomas & Bulstrode, instead of Edward & Bulstrode. 😃

Very good news to those looking forward to the new CGI 3-packs.

If you waited they're at WalMart for $9.88, oddly enough though they're not in the system and have to be purchased manually.

leylandvictory2

i am still waiting for the cgi 3 packs at Candian wal mart. I am not sure if the cargo ship that tipped over at the west coast will further delay the shipiment.
