Pros: Realistic looking characters
Cons: Performs horribly (see review)
Summary: We knew we didn't want this toy in our house - it just looked like a pain and not worth it. Plus our son has a mountain of wooden track, and so we really didn't want additional track (and plastic at that!) that couldn't be linked in the house. 5 is ...

Pros: Very creative toy. Perfect in its simplicity.
Cons: The black balls are a choking hazard.
Summary: When I first opened the box at Christmas, I have to say that I was a little frustrated that I only had one car and three 'caps'. When I finally figured out how to put it together and saw how the train functioned I was fascinated. Repeatative? Yes, but ...

Pros: Watching Percy Thomas and Terence do their work is mesmerizing.
Cons: Limited amount of interactive play.
Summary: My wife always sees the child in me and I was given this toy as a gift. In actuality it did not seem too interesting to me when I first looked at the illustrations on the box. I expected some track with props and a couple of trains to take on and off ...

Pros: It carries the Thomas name
Cons: Not very interactive for the kids. Hard to put up and to store.
Summary: My son is a huge Thomas fan, but this toy was a little more than a passing whim for him. Younger children won't be able to set it up, so the parents have to, and then once it is up, all they really do is watch it. Once the initial excitement wears off...

Pros: Entertaining, fun, exciting
Cons: None that I can see
Summary: I bought this toy for my nephew who is almost 3. He loves it and I have never seen anything like it.
Basically, there are 3 trains that work together in succeeding to gather "rocks", then unload them, then scoop them up, and then transport them to...

Pros: Its Thomas and it's affordable
Cons: It doesn't work well
Summary: My son is 3 and he just loves Thomas the Train . I saw this Big Loader set on sale one day for only 14.99 so I thought - wow I have to get this for him. Well he was more than excited when he saw the box.
When you open the box it is a...

Pros: My 3 1/2 yr. old son likes it a lot
Cons: Choking hazard; not configurable; repetitive; limited interactivity; the engine sometimes gets stuck; no auto-off
Summary: My 3 1/2 yr. old son has been playing with this toy for about a month now (and for a while it even supplanted his Reader Rabbit PC games for popularity).
The Thomas Big Loader consists of a track with a groove down the center that can...

Pros: clever design, fun to play with
Cons: small balls are easy to lose
Summary: When I got this toy about a year ago, my son was three years old. He still enjoys playing with it, which is more than I can say for most toys.
The version we have is the one pictured, not the "Thomas" version, which is essentially the same...

Pros: Fun set for kids to watch.
Cons: Parents have to put it together, and have to keep kids from taking it apart!
Summary: One day I was scanning through the Digital Cable Guide, and discovered a show on QVC that surprised me. It was an hour of Thomas the Tank Engine! I called my mom, and she came over, and we watched it. Most of the stuff on the show that they showed was...

Pros: Fun, fun, fun!
Cons: Coal pieces can be easy to lose.
Summary: My son had so much fun with the Big Loader when he got it 5-6 years ago that we bought a second one to combine the two and try to make our own new tracks. It has lasted really well and brought my children hours of enjoyment. (my husband and I

Pros: Teaches patience and observation skills.
Cons: small parts can get lost.
Summary: I am surprised that so many people are having trouble with this toy. My husband brought it home for our 2 and a half year old and we all love it. It isnt a hands on toy, but do all toys have to be touched? My son and I just sit and watch it, and cheer

Pros: If it worked it would be a cute toy.
Cons: Toy does not work well. Much to difficult for a child to operate.
Summary: My son received this gift from his grandfather for his second birthday. We put is away for awhile because of the dangerous choking hazards. My son is now almost 3 and we took it out to play it with him. It took forever to put together the first time. The
