Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends - Platinum Collection (Best of Thomas/James/Percy)

Summary: A great collection, but there's something missing
Review: A bonus 3 disc set containing; Best of Thomas, Best of Percy, and Best of James. But can you see whats missing? Best of Gordon. Why isn't there a Best of Gordon on here too. Well anyway, its still a great set. All these DVDs had great episodes on them(Well of course, its the best of) and I'm sure it is a better deal instead of just buying them individually. But they should make a updated version of this, what will that be called, the Titanium Collection. Here are the stories featured on each DVD:

1) Best of Thomas:

-Thomas Gets Bumped
-A New Friend for Thomas
-Thomas, Percy & the dragon
-Thomas Saves the Day
-Trouble For Thomas
-Thomas & Stepney
-A Big Day For Thomas
-Thomas Meets The Queen
-"Really Useful Engine"(Music Video)

2) Best Percy:

-Percy's Ghostly Trick
-A Scarf For Percy
-Percy Takes A Plunge
-Percy's Predicament
-Thomas, Percy & The Mail Train
-Percy Runs Away
-Percy and the Signal
-Percy Proves A Point
-Percy's Promise

3) Best of James
-A Proud Day For James
-James In A Mess
-Old Iron
-No Jokes For James
-James Learns A Lesson
-Percy, James & The Fruitful Day
-James Goes Buzz Buzz
-Time For Trouble
-"Don't Judge A Book By It's Cover"(Music Video)

Well there you have them, I hope this review has been helpful to you.

Summary: Excelent!
Review: I bought this set of DVD's to my son and he loves it. Each DVD has many different stories and my son loves them all. I also like them. Each DVD also includes like three sing along sons. I recommend it to all Thomas fans.

Summary: My 3 year old loves these DVDs!
Review: 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.

Summary: Thomas, James and Percy
Review: Our daughter loves her Thomas the Tank Engine, Percy, Lady and Salty trains. They look so sweet with their happy little smiles. Luckily, the trainset we bought for her came with a free video because I would have hated to have spent the money on buying the DVD for her. As one of the other reviewers mentioned - these trains are always "cross" and just all around grumpy. Everyone in Thomas World is miserable. So, we still let her play with her trainset - she just can't watch the videos.

Summary: These could have been so much better!
Review: 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???!!!

Summary: Toot Toot
Review: This is a good series for a Thomas fan starter. The best of Thomas is very good, Percy's is excellent and James's is satisfactory. Cumulatively it contains a lot of different stories, which is good. It also has some extra features such as a computer video game, dvd game, songs (really good), an introduction to the different engines, and read a long thomas books. (...)Overall it is a good starter, but long time fans might want something that introduces other engines.Enjoy.

Summary: Disappointing Purchase
Review: This was a disappointing purchase! I bought the Thomas videos on the recommendation of a friend who said they had good stories and a must for THomas fans. We were disappointed to find that the engines are always "cross" at each other, trying to get back at one another or in bad moods. Best of Percy has a ghost in it that scared my kids. I would reconsider this purchase!
