dUSt Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 My son got the working town railway set from Santa. We love it. I think we'll be getting a lot more add-ons. Probably the best toy ever invented in the history of the world. Let's discuss everything GeoTrax.
franciscanheart Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 what are geotrax? we have thomas the train everything.
dUSt Posted December 28, 2005 Author Posted December 28, 2005 Dude. [url="http://www.fisher-price.com/us/geotrax"]http://www.fisher-price.com/us/geotrax[/url] WAY better than the Thomas train set.

Sojourner Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 I always wanted a train set when I was a kid.

dUSt Posted December 28, 2005 Author Posted December 28, 2005 Man, I wish we had all this stuff!

franciscanheart Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 looks like thomas the train stuff only... plastic.

[right][snapback]837771[/snapback][/right] [/quote] There's no comparison. GeoTrax rocks. The Thomas train set looks like the pieces don't stay together as good, and it doesn't look like the trains are remote controlled like GeoTrax. Also, the GeoTrax trains interact with the buildings and stuff--everything moves and is controlled with the remote control and levers. It's AWESOME!!!
Sojourner Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 Is your son actually going to get to play with it?

[right][snapback]837784[/snapback][/right] [/quote] I can assure you the pieces fit well together and as long as you dont have a kid taking them out and throwing them everything works fine. Thomas is not run by a remote control but by human hands. I'd have to say Thomas is a bit more complicated, way more expensive (I'm going out on a limb here), and not nearly as cool as GeoTrax, that is, if you like the remote control v. the older classic stuff.
dUSt Posted December 28, 2005 Author Posted December 28, 2005 I mean, c'mon... honestly... which kid looks like he's having more fun: The Thomas train kid: [img]http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/1c/2a/bd90024128a09311fbbf3010.L.jpg[/img] Or the GeoTrax kid!!!

franciscanheart Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 hey! thats not fair! you've got the kid with the complete geo trax v. the kid with the starter thomas the train kit. let me make this even....

franciscanheart Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 okay here we go.... now who's having more fun? this group of thomas the train kids.... [img]http://media.lansingcurrent.com/img/photos/2005/07/19/Thomas_-_toy_train_t450.jpg[/img] or this lonely geotrax kid with his remote control airplane stand? [img]http://www.phatmass.com/sarah/proof1.jpg[/img] not to mention thomas has his own line of books, movies, and plush toys to accompany his line of trains and accessories.
dUSt Posted December 28, 2005 Author Posted December 28, 2005 Woa. The prices on the Thomas stuff are like double of the GeoTrax stuff.
franciscanheart Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 I figured as much. Thomas can be pretty pricey.
dUSt Posted December 28, 2005 Author Posted December 28, 2005 The only reason those kids are playing with the boring Thomas train is because of the parents. It's obvious i n that picture that the parents standing behind those kids are forcing them to play with the boring train for the free buy one get one free Burger King coupons.
