I found a NEW Thomas & Friends My Busy Books and it's based on All Engines Go (Thomas AEG). I compare this new book / models to the classic Thomas And Friends My Busy Books. Apart from a massive price difference there is a disturbing lack of detail with the AEG My Busy Book. When doing a hard up comparison between Thomas, James, Percy & Nia the differences are ASTONISHING. All the models from the Thomas AEG My Busy Book are incredibly disappointing. I have always spoken very highly about My Busy Books but sadly this Thomas & Friends AEG version is absolute trash. And to put the icing on the cake the way this book was sold in store was more akin to a trap sale. So yeah all this makes me very angry.

I also look at the Thomas & Friends and Hot Wheels stock at my local KMart twice, first at 14 days to Christmas and then 10 days. It's amazing to see what sells and what's not for sale. The Thomas & Friends area is now only 1/3 of a shelf cell in a aisle. There was once a time when Thomas & Friends toys occupied one side of a whole aisle.

I purchased a 1/2 Ounce Silver Disney 100 Collector Coin. This Silver coin comes in a display box and once it's out of packaging is quite small. One side has Queen Elizabeth 2 and the other a Disney 100 motif. Honestly the side with the Queens head is far more impressive Vs the Disney stuff. Do these unusual Silver Collector Coins have any real investment value?
