Thanks for the information. We heard about the Thomas the Train yesterday and have removed all of the trains from the kids.

WOW, that *is* crazy... I guess it's lucky for us we never wanted to shell out $10 for 1 little train, eh? LOL

We have every one of those flipping red trains that are on the recall list... thanks for posting Lisa.

Not that anyone is going to want to buy Thomas stuff now but if you still do, Michaels Crafts store has a fair selection of Thomas and if they are not on sale, you can use a 40% off coupon. That is how we have bought a lot of Thomas stuff for Caden.

We don't have any of the ones that were recalled. We got alot of our stuff on sale. We would get a Thomas video at Target, then it came with a train, so that is how we got ours.

95% of our collection is pre 2005 since they were bought for James who is now 9 yrs old. And the few that we bought since 2003 are not the ones recalled. Thank goodness. Far as being pricy we buy few at a time, when on sale/clearance. And remember they do have lifetime warranty. They will replace them if paint coming off or what not if you send them back to the company. Would have to look on website to find address(need to do this for some of our trains).
