Oh, you are bringing back memories. My son loved his wooden Thomas train set! Sorry, but I'm storing them away for him to have later. Call me crazy! My Mom never saved any of our toys so I have a really hard time getting rid of any of my kids!

My son also loved anything dinosaur. He watched all of the Jurrasic Park movies over and over again. He was only about 3 at the time! I know, crazy. I couldn't believe he actually liked them! He was never scared of them, just fascinated.

I want to save my kids little people toys, which I believe we have almost all of them:blushing: but my DH keeps telling me NO!

I keep thinking it's time to get rid of them. Then they start playing with all of them.

Something has to give, we have way too much stuff! Sorry I don't have any Thomas.

It's not Thomas, but the Toys R Us circular for 9/2-9/8 has an Imaginarium Sound City Railway Train Table for 71.98, marked down from 149.99.

Wow! Thanks for the tip Ann...I will look to see if it would be a close match. I want something that as he gets older he can "build" and change around the track so he has to think about it!

It's this one: Toys "R" Us - Imaginarium 115-Piece Sound City Railway Train Table with Two Storage Drawers

Ann...

You are THE BEST!!! I just called my TRU here and they have them in stock. They put one back for me and we will be picking it up tomorrow after church!! I looked at it on the web, and it IS compatible with Thomas track pieces and trains! Cool! I am so excited!!

BTW-

If anyone else is thinking of something like this (even for Christmas) I gotta tell you...this sale one that Ann found is a SUPER DEAL! I have been looking online for a few days and NOTHING touches this price. Read the reviews, too...almost all of them are 5 stars!

 

[chefann]

I thought it would be compatible. My sister was in town last weekend and was complaining because they have an Ikea train set, and it's the one set on the market that's not compatible with the others. I made a point today, while at Ikea with Mom, to pick up their expansion sets for my nephew, since I bought him the basic set last year.

I just dug through my kids old toys and found this bunch of Thomas Trains left over from when we passed the Thomas stuff down to a new baby cousin.

It's 7 cars in all - all well loved.
If anyone wants them, make an offer - I'll probably find a few more in the downstairs toy bucket - but as it stands right now the lot of them weighs just about one pound so shipping should be reasonable.

Kelly, I'm sure your DS will love the Imaginarium train table... my dad bought the Function Junction table for my son a couple of Christmas' ago. Since then he's gotten several of the wooden Thomas toys, and I love that they're compatible with the table and tracks he already had! I'm so glad that he's not the only little Thomas addict out there! lol Now my youngest is starting to like Thomas, so I guess it's a good thing we have some duplicates! Trust me, I wish I could get rid of some of their Thomas stuff... it's taking over the house! lol Sorry I can't help!

Does anyone know if you can buy replacement panel for the tables?? Ours are looking very worn.

 

[KellyTheChef]

Just PM'd you Carolyn!

Ashlee~

Yes, I found replacement boards for sale when I was researching prices the other day! Just do a google search for Thomas the Train table inserts!

 

[ahammons]

Really? Do you happen to know where?

Here is one link...looks pretty expensive for the "Thomas" ones!

Look for other brands!

 

[ahammons]

Thanks so much!! I kept meaning to look for them, but completely forgot until I read this thread! lol

Toys "R" Us - Thomas & Friends Island Adventure Playboard

Here's one from TRU

 

[ahammons]

Oh, I think I like that one... it looks like it's all one piece! The one we have now is split into 3 sections, and my youngest DS likes to pull it up while his brother is playing! (yep, he's our little trouble-maker! lol) Thanks again!
