@@leokimvideo as of now it’s an online exclusive here, I had to order it directly from Lionel themselves, but I believe you can also get it on Amazon now
@@Dieselhere Years ago I did contact Lionel USA direct and simply asked to review a Thomas & Diesel O scale, I explained these models are not sold in the Oz marketplace. All I recieved back was a email to their online ordering site, basically here pay up. To this day I have no Lionel O Scale.
Say what you want about AEG, but lionel did a pretty impressive job at turning something that was 2D into an actual fuctioning 3D train set, even the faces are on point with the original, when I first saw this I thought it was just a couple of really cool custom models 🤣
Honestly such a stunning model and set! Im hoping this comes to New Zealand Amazon, as i went to get this set from Lionels website, and was told i couldn't because i didnt live in the USA or Canada
It looks like a really fun toy! I wish it was track powered, but other than that it seems like a great set. Lots of adults in the comments getting mad that a baby show doesn’t do fan service for them lol
Hm.. What if someone designed and made a 3D printed coupler that can connect to Thomas's main coupler and allow a normal o gauge rolling stock to connect?
Battery operated, can run on 3 rail, won’t ruin my track….I think I’ll pick one up just to repaint and remove the face to use as a switcher on my layout when we have storms and the power is out. Just got to modify his rear coupler.
Am I the only one who wants to buy AEG Thomas merch to fix it? Either making them into the ideal Thomas Or something like the "baby" version of Thomas, like how wooden railway did it at one point I'm starting to notice that only Thomas ranges that have had a bad downgrade are being turned to AEG and turn off makes me want to fix them more *I'm looking at you TM2*
Honestly I like the look and workings of the set The fact that it's compatible with O. gauge and Thomas smokes, it looks like a good set The only thing I would complain about is the coupler
Little known fact: The old Thomas episodes from the beginning were filled using G-Scale size models. So that Bachman G scale model is the EXACT same size as the one on TV.
After seeing this is actual O gauge, I'm disappointed lionel didn't make their ready-to-play line like this! The ready-to-play stuff is not proper G gauge so it won't work with what dad, grandpa, uncle, or the model train club has. Making this O gauge means it can work on the electric stuff that model train clubs run or what dad, grandpa, or uncle might have. It's also more affordable than an electric O gauge train set so it's an easy starting point for families with kids who might end up getting into electric model trains later on.
I don’t really care that much, but why is the Lionel’s Aeg Thomas super mega accurate, But the regular is semi accurate. Aeg Lionel faces look really well made too.
@@gabrielquinones3343Lad, they have done toy trains for years, and them doing some wacky cartoonish trains even in their electric lineup is nothing new.
@@gabrielquinones3343It’s doing fine, it’s a new set to go with the rest of their O scale plastic toy range, so of course it will have a new shape which will be more accurate to what is currently on the screen.
Ngl I thought Mattel rid of old style toy train on half realistic rails and they made cartoon engine engine on half realistic track the faces looks like classic but reminds of weird Al ha movie Jurassic park claymation
7:40 Another reason why I don't like it is because the coupling is too low for it to connect to other Lionel Rolling Stock which makes it incompatible bad move Lionel
Which is true this is the worst Thomas model in existence. I’m surprised people like the video on TH-cam all about the AEG era on TH-cam and some kids even watch it on Netflix they’re gonna regret it.
They did for MANY years starting back in the 90s up until at least some years ago. I have an early o-gauge Thomas (no moving eyes) in my collection, but don’t run it much because of the coupler design.
@@MrAwesomedude808 Lionel 'classic era' toys are okay, but not as polished and show-accurate as this one. They did play around with the switchable faces even back then though, a really cool idea that fits with how expressive Thomas characters are. Be neat if they had another go with classic Thomas, it seems like their quality has upped since then. (Weird this has the CGI era music and voice though. One major oversight there.)
Pretty cool.
If only we had gotten model and CGI merchandise with this level of accuracy to the show.
Finally, we got a perfect looking Thomas from Lionel. Sadly, it’s the version from the reboot that nobody likes.
It’s the same principle as Bachman Oliver. The toy is practically perfect; it’s just based on a thing we don’t like.

For a Lionel AEG Thomas this actually looks pretty nice. Not to Shabby! Just the basic style!
I'd imagine they're probably gonna get a new soundchip on later models because I believe they're just using leftover chips
That’s most likely the case
That Spongebob impression has me shook! wth that was insane!
I like the smoke affect but the AEG style just grinds on me. Just sad where I live we never get this Lionel stuff.

I hope Lionel make Percy next! They hit hard with this model! 😃

Great review! This set is definitely a lot of fun.

Ive never seen a better model replica from a Thomas line. He practically looks better than the actual thing itself. (Maybe because its a model)
Hm.. What if someone designed and made a 3D printed coupler that can connect to Thomas's main coupler and allow a normal o gauge rolling stock to connect?

This just reminds me of the Thomas into the multi verse thing and this is now possible because we have the normal Thomas and the AEG Thomas

Lionel needs to do this for something that's like not Thomas related. Like do this for a mini affordable Polar Express or something else.

Soup: ah poop here we go again
It looks great soup but I don't have one yet but i do have the lionel ready-to-play thomas one.
At least Mattel acknowledges that Thomas Annie and Clarabel are an unbreakable trio at least one thing from the original series carried over
Kids will probably get nightmares from being able to remove the faces 😂
After all engines go ends we need an actually good reboot that respects the source material
Agreed.
All right man nice video by the way
The Thomas version of Help is a beautiful song for the beginning.
Annie is the one with the orange eyes and Clarabel is the one with gray eyes
Can you make a video where you got this from?
@@silviasorto4325the show, yknow, the thing this toy is based on

I don’t really care that much, but why is the Lionel’s Aeg Thomas super mega accurate,
But the regular is semi accurate.
Aeg Lionel faces look really well made too.
From what I remember from the few AEG episodes I've seen, Clarabel's decals are longer, and she has gray irises.
Hope that helps!
