I think it means that while this cross promotional train stuff will sell decently, having a year or two's worth of just train related merchandise wouldn't give Bandai the number they want.

Well...Okay then.

These will make decent gateway drugs to get really young kids into the franchise. It's a very narrow focus product that really doesn't reflect at all on the decisions made in reference to ToQger.

Much as I like these (Thomas was a huge part of my childhood), if you're planning on this, DON'T F--KING SKIP TOQGER!

I have to agree with this.

This announcement just comes across as a bit odd considering that they've glazed over ToQger almost completely.

Then again...maybe this could be testing the waters, to see how Power Ranger trains would sell over here?

I'm starting to wonder if I'm caught in some strange delusion between this and Ex-Aid.

Oh no... Ex-aid's weirdness is spreading to America! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!

...As absurdly neat as this is it's a dumb idea to do this considering they skipped Toqger.

Id be up for Thomas beung a zord for that megazord.

This. Well, as well as just being a weird oddity that only diehard fans will feel a need to buy.

It's hella weird, but every big franchise has something like this somewhere down the line
