I love looking at Thomas & Friends toys in store. But there seems to be a problem with supply and demand of these very popular toys. And again in the crunch before Christmas the Thomas toy trains are selling out so all I see is empty pegs and empty shelves. 2019 has seen a simplification of the Thomas toy range due to the removal of Thomas Adventures which has transformed to be Trackmaster Push Along. This generates two different styles of Trackmaster Thomas toys, Push Along and Motorized. Both can use the Trackmaster track system. The Thomas & Friends area in nearly every store I go to is now reduced down to a single 'cell' on a toy aisle shelf. I no longer see the new painted Thomas Wood in the stores that sold the half painted first edition toys. The only time I saw the fully painted Thomas Wood was as a ALDI Special Buy. As for Thomas Trackmaster playsets, well they all sold out weeks ago and there was very few choices up for grabs. The Thomas Trackmaster 3 packs are also just about sold out. As I have said over and over Mattel / Fisher Price can't make a cent from a empty peg or shelf. The Thomas toys have again been heavily undersupplied to major retailers I visit all the time. Maybe this is good news because it shows us all that Thomas toys remain very popular, Thomas is strong.
