3rd party seller making money on it by over charging postage. One and only customer review is.....

This toy looks cheap and is obviously a cheap and nasty replica of Thomas tank. Unlike on the picture the actual toy says 'Train and friends' not 'Thomas and friends'. I doubt very much that this product satisfies any safety standards, I won't be giving it to my child to play with!

Be careful !

It's the toy that has one review ..
Seller has 4 and a half stars

I'm happy for it to be taken down if it prevents filling pockets of copiers

From the review it's a cheap knock off hence the price, seller on amazon seems genuine going by rating.. still, u could prob pic up a similar set in a € shop here

If it's too good to be true...

from the review if nothing else it's the worst looking piece of crap in the world and it is likely to be so poorly made as to be dangerous for any child to be near.

I bought one of these in kusadasi during the summer. Grand for the bar table to keep him happy. Broke the next day. Worst bit was that I was ripped off by paying 5 lira!

Dozen Wicked Words

I like the fact the seller went to the trouble of putting lots of photos up of Thomas/train and friends. Sadly all exactly the same photo.

Have a look at 'Dark side Thomas' on You Tube- its a channel an Aussie guy put up dedicated to knock-off Thomas the Tank Engine toys. My two children could watch his videos for hours on end- and love when he crashes the trains........ Actually on second thoughts- if either of them work for CIE when they grow up- I am not going anywhere near public transport..........

My sister got us a Santa train set and it looks absolutely identical. Same tracks, same crappy plastic trains, same kind of box.

One word - avoid.

The trains are really hard to get onto the tracks so they end up being frustrating for the kids.

And the amount of cheap crappy plastic bits that fell off them meant we binned it with an infant on the loose.

Bargain alert? I think you have just been ripped off.

You would do everyone a favour by taking some photos of what you have received and sending them to Amazon pointing out that what you have received is a knock off. You will probably get a refund and the seller should hopefully be removed from Amazon marketplace.
