    Further proof they could have used a pin in his chest, the screws from his chest fit in the pin holes of his front hipskirts perfectly

    Need an advice: does anybody know if Mascot_zone/home are good ebay sellers or scammers? They’re selling Thomas at 349$... he’s sold out everywhere but it seems like they have endless stock.

    Watch out for that lil chrome piece on the top of the engine. One day I see a piece floating around my house and was like, "Great! Which one of my hundreds of bots did this come off of?!" Didn't really think it was Thomas as I thought the only chrome/metal bits were part of the wheels. Thankfully, I was able to put it back in place.

    Thanks - yeah I did pop that piece off while struggling to discover the correct arrangement of those train parts in shuttle mode, so it's registered in my mind where it belongs. :) 

    Anyway, this is what I'm going with in my response to Baba... :)

    I'm gonna steal this idea from now on.

    Paint chip? Just have my bots point to it.

    Faceplate comes all fucked up, have them look into a mirror in horror.

    Fucking hilarious idea and I love it, Liam. Keep it up!

    Ironically those are literally a locomotive's "pop-off valves". (and if they go, the engineer may be fired)

    I would still contact them though. When they do another run, maybe they'll run some extra ratchets for afterwards support.

    Yes and now they somehow have 74 units available. Talk about a manufactured supply shortage.

    Just curious. How do you know they have that many!? That's crazy if that's true! You know, i'm very new to collecting and stuff like this is already dragging on me. It's bad enough Thomas' MSRP was $209.99-219.99 but then magical amounts of stock show up and demand a $130+ markup... It's all so tiresome.
