 These could have been so much better! Dec 16, 2004
By An Opinionated Reviewer
"Lillian"
The stories in these DVDs are our favorite classics which is why it gets 3 stars. The problem? Whoever put these together put no thought into them whatsoever! These would have been GREAT if they had put the stories in chronological order. It would have been so easy! Maybe the kids don't notice, but the parents who have to listen/watch repeatedly sure do. For example, the James video has several episodes mentioning James' problem with bootlaces before showing the episode with the bootlaces. Another problem with the James video - they had an excerpt of the James song in between episodes but did not play it at the end. Why wouldn't they play the James song on the James video?
Overall, very disappointing that they did not put a little more effort into these DVDs (this includes the Gordon video which we also have). What a wasted opportunity!
Can you tell I've watched too many Thomas videos???!!!

I'd Question How This List was Made Nov 29, 2005
By Mr. Bey
I know you're always going to find a person who will argue whether or not something is the best but I'm trying to find someone who agrees with the episode list. After the Ringo era was re narrated by George Carlin they decided not to even include the old episodes in the new DVDs. I think if you're going to buy a Thomas DVD these days you should go out and buy the early days set. I individually wrote reviews for each of these DVDs but I'm disappointed by the 5 minutes of useless commercials that come before the DVD. Not only that but sometimes you have to wait 2 minutes to actually play the DVD itself.
Of the three greatest hits sets, the Percy set was easily the best. The Thomas one was alright but the last few on it weren't' very good. I have mixed feelings about the Best of James but I am glad the Best of Gordon was not put on because that set was a disgrace. This set may be good for you if your child is just getting into Thomas but try and find the earlier ones if you can. It's not very easy to find the best Thomas sets but if you can, they are worth it.

 My 3 year old loves these DVDs! Nov 15, 2004
By Mother of preschooler
I have to disagree with those who feel that the engines being "cross" with each other is not something they want their children to watch. I too was not sure about the content until my son misbehaved and later apologized for being "cheeky" (a common term used in the DVDs). Although the engines are cross with each other, they always learn a lesson: it's not nice to tease, everyone makes mistakes, the engines are "grounded" when they misbehave, etc. My son loves to watch Thomas, and often acts out the stories with his own train set.

too long introduction Oct 27, 2005
By L. King
I got this for my friend's boy- so I think I got the review toned down. She said it had the SAME preview that lasted forever before the actual video came on. The 2 1/2 year old saw it so many times that he just would get up to do other things...and she couldn't fast forward through it. She sold it later on Ebay. HA HA HA.

 Fantastic 3 disc box set for Thomas Fans May 06, 2005
By Kath "Purple"
I bought this for my 2 year old son who loves Thomas & Friends. The set is great value for money - and we particularly enjoyed the sing-a-longs on each disc. I think the DVDs all have wonderful story lines and the lessons to learn as well. Overall I am very happy with the purchase and my son is delighted with his DVDs. I am sure they will bring him many hours of enjoyment :)
