Will be interesting to see how well they sell.

I have all the Lionel Thomas LionChief for the kids to run at shows they love it.

 

Was trying to justify the price the Chuggington engines but wow what a price.

They do not seem to sell as well at the toy stores for the wooden train sets.

 

How well do you think the kids know the Chuggington series??

 

I think it would be a great pair of engines for pulling long trains! The Williams are powerful.

CHUGGINGTON is not as popular as Thomas the Tank engine.

 

The Chuggington train show is only shown on the Disney Channel which requires a cable fee to watch it.  And they keep moving the show around to the early hours of the morning when no one can watch it.  Why doesn't Disney show it in the evening?

And now with Williams out of business, whose gonna be around to service the locomotives or even expand the Chuggington series?  Nobody!!

Never mind, I'll stick with Thomas the Tank engine trains and cars.

Bachmann!   Who bought Williams. 

Oops!  My mistake.  My sincere apologies for confusing Williams (which is still in business) and Weaver (that is no longer in business).

I still believe in my earlier comment that Thomas the Tank is much more popular than the Chuggington  trains because Thomas and Friends is broadcast every day on Public Television.

You don't need to subscribe to a cable company to watch the PBS Channel that shows the Thomas the Tank Engine train show.

And, like I said, the Chuggington show is on at various days very early in the morning when parents and kids are doing other stuff.

And it is the noisiest show I've ever seen.  BANG, BANG, BANG... CRASH, CRASH, CRASH with the trains bouncing all over the track like they are on some kind of drug or something.  Really strange.  I don't like the Chuggington show.

Chuggington is on at 7am. Every toddler on the planet is awake by then, because otherwise parents wouldnt mind having toddlers. I live this every morning. Octonauts, then Chuggington, then Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

Believe me, they're hitting the target audience right in the wheelhouse.

===============================
Well, maybe its on at 7am your time now.  But the time has been bounced around the past couple of years from 5:30am to 7:00am.  But you never knew when. There were several months whenit wasn't on at all.

And with all that noise throughout the whole show and the trains bouncing around like crazy, it's a really dumb program.  And each locomotive really looks weird.

Brewster looks like a pig face. Yuck!




Oink, oink!!

 

Not for me!
