Thomas Tank Take N Play Spills N Thrills On Sodor Redux How To Fix A Dumb Toy Design ─ leokimvideo

Thomas The Tank get set for speed and excitement inspired by the Spills & Thrills DVD! Tilt the tracks against the wall then lift the gate to send Thomas racing down the paint shed. As he zooms downward, Thomas triggers exciting actions. He knocks over the signal, crosses over the drawbridge, sends the cargo down the zip-line and crashes through the pain shed. When Thomas bursts through the pain shed, he comes out covered in paint! But it's not really that much fun!

Thomas & Friends Spills N Thrills On Sodor is a Take N Play toy train playset loosely connected to the Thomas DVD Spills N Thrills. This Thomas toys sends Thomas on a downhill adventure crashing and turning until he smashes through a paint factory and gets covered in paint using a smart magnet trick. This playset is a very strange Take N Play set because it relied on leaning against a wall to play. Back in 2014 I did a toy review of this toy but never finished the video because my son and I noticed this playset had some major issues, maybe even missing parts. Sadly for us this toy just kept slipping off the wall and it was nowhere as fun as the previous folding and free standing style Take N Play toys we had before. There are not many toys that get held back from a review but this was one. It spooked me that this set could not be a stand alone toy like all the other Take N Play toys up to this time. In 2017 I revisit this Thomas toy and by purchasing another I investigate how I feel this toy should have been presented. Put it this way I never saw another Thomas toy like this one, it's a bizarre one off design. What is surprising but not really surprising is the new 2013 Thomas (dumb magnet) and Thomas Adventures really doesn't work on this playset because it's designed for the 2012 smart magnet Thomas toys. What really spooked me was the endless good reviews this playset was given by other toy reviewers on YouTube, no one wanted to speak about the elephant in the room. Anyway with the playset now fixed in a very simple way and my son is really happy to play and relive the glory of the Thomas Take N Play toys. Once a toy is made right it's so much more fun to play with.

Anyway I get out some old classic Thomas Take N Play playsets and have a trip back in time to see how glorious it was just a few years back. In 2010, Take-Along was bought by Mattel and became a Fisher-Price line and renamed Take-n-Play. New characters were released and the old models were re-released with upgraded paints and faces.

I notice it's still for sale on Amazon, my simple advice is it needs legs!
