Hi Guys and Gals, here we have the Trackmaster 2 Gator engine from "Tale of the brave". This Engine has allot of good and bad points.
I Like:
*The tarpaulin on the front truck
*Gators face
*Gators shape
*Gators color
I don't like:
*The stupid wheels (the holes, lack of rubber tires)
*The stupid chassis is the same for all engines?
*The bad running
*Lack of detail (no front & rear ladders, only top of funnels painted black)
*The low hanging activation/locking tab
*The fact is uses twice as many batteries and a more expensive type
I wont say any more I don't like this new range, I know there are some who like it and others that don't care either way but I put this to you, if they drastically changed the wooden or take n play range so all engines had the same bottom half and same number of wheels would you think that was ok? Because I think mattel is killing the Thomas franchise overall. The toys used to have outstanding quality and craftsmanship, sadly nearly all gone.
