Thomas Content has gotten..BETTER??

3:45 BLOODY HELL THAT IS EXPENSIVE! Too Expensive. I'd only give 20 quid for a Tomy Donald, AT MOST.

6:15 James never mentally recovered after seeing that.

A fantastic video! Good job, I really like how at the ending Stamp said: "I never sell Oliver for $150." lol

Finally. A based Thomas youtuber. Also, since I live in Poland, Thomas merch is super rare to see in the open. I have to resort to online stores. Though, most of the prices are fairly cheap, some prices can be very.. Unfair.. To say the least. Some singular engines can be online for 50 PLN (Polish currency.). But for stamp, the prices converted to PLN is.. Oh god.. So expensive..

Wow did not expect to see my old OC drawing here at 2:18 other than that good video

Why am I only now finding this channel? That opening bit was hilarious

stamps prices are to high and also plus there mascot is ai genrated

Being an Australian tomy collector we get the prices much worse down here... i will say i'm quite happy with stamps business, but admittedly the prices are really bad in some cases. but stamp is honestly pretty good i most other aspects. they did mess up and order of mine once and made sure it was fixed free of charge. Again though, due to the prices stamp is really more of a treat myself seller rather than a regular shop i purchase from. I remain perfectly in the middle in this topic.

Thomas Merchandise (Pre-All Engines Go) in the market during the recent years had gotten worse. The economy in general is so terrible after the Covid pandemic. And the Thomas merchandise had took a major hit in the online sales.

As a long time Stamp buyer, I had 0 knowledge that the Stamp character was AI generated, and as time has gone on, I’ve found better deals with equal quality on stuff like the Facebook Marketplace and Vinted, and have been tempted to buy from those places instead, especially knowing all this new information. The argument of model trains being cheaper than the average Plarail item, yeah. I agree. That's an eyebrow raiser. Will keep all this in mind when buying Plarail in future.

7:25 If I go to a Japanese Second Hand Store, I'd probably find a Plarail Thomas for a fiver in pretty alright condition. But the rolling stock will probably be separate.

Personally I feel like fans when getting sponsors should at least check Sponsor itself and this applies to all youtubers too not just Thomas ones.

Okay In my Opinion, Stamp has Great Customer Service and shipping. The price is the problem, although yes I would love to own the Trackmaster BoCo. I aint gonna drop 50 bucks for just a Train and a Tank car and Box car.

9:55 can't get over the $60 vinnie in the listing directly next to this one

I love how you made garfield your avatar for the sps rant Also cool video

When it comes to collecting Thomas merch, I think there is a lot to consider. The price is the first thing, and it can be tough to find good ones sometimes. Secondly, the condition of the item. If its all scratched up or is missing parts, you shouldn't have to pay more than retail price. Depending on some items that are still in box or un-used, than it can be justified, if you keep it reasonable. And thirdly, its age. If an item is rare or ended production long ago, it will become more rare as time goes on. But just because it's old doesn't mean it should be expensive. I try to consider all these when I look for a new item to add to the collection.

Guys use my stamp plarail store code for 10 percent off your next deal

This is genuinely so real omg. I've seen plenty of complaints about SPS but this is the first I've seen hit YouTube. It feels like almost every Plarail/Trackmaster review I see now is advertising this embarrassment of a "store." I don't care who's offering the 10% off coupon, I ain't buying. I'm better off trying to win the iPhone out of the claw machine then try to find a good price on Stamp. Frankly, the people who give into the prices are a bigger problem than the sellers themselves. I'll admit, every once in awhile I have a purchase I'm not so proud of. But I feel that it evens out because: 1. Its not from stamp lmao 2. I'm usually good with finding the best prices possible I'll tell you what I am an absolute sucker for Facebook Marketplace. I got two RC Flip Face Thomas at Tidmouth Sheds sets on there for less than $20. On ebay, you're lucky to get the sheds alone for less than like, $80. Anyway all I can say is thank you for bringing this matter over to YouTube. Hopefully, this can rival some of the Stamp Plarail Suck-ups.

$130 for Oliver is crazy 😭

I totally agree with what you have to say, Stamps prices are so high a model train is probably about the same price as the toy made for kids which is crazy, Kaikki also suffers from the same problem but along with some of the items being expensive they don’t really have much Thomas merch that isn’t sold out, and lastly TotallyThomasTown is actually pretty good if it weren’t for the shipping price (I know it’s from Canada but still at least drop the shipping fees for it). And on eBay is so much worse, the capsule plarail items can be very expensive, like 50+ dollars expensive and the items there are at the same height as a regular mini (I’m basically paying for an expensive Thomas mini). All I want is for the prices on selling sites with Thomas merch to be at the very least reasonable and affordable that’s how people will buy your stuff, overprice them and now one will buy them because of the price. But that’s all I have to say on the matter Also what the heck is this 6:15
