I used to love Thomas, I have a billion models of him and his friends. I like the idea, it looks pretty good so far. Good luck!

I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM! Haha no, I only buy them when stores put them on clearence, I can't bring myself to buy them regularly when I could instead buy battlepacks, etc...
