Disney Planes DVD Review Removed

I removed my review of Disney Planes from my You Tube channel because the Disney reward's code or the movie reward's code might have been showing.

I will re uploaded a new version without showing the pamphlet. The video had over 180 view's, but I had to protect that information. The new video will be better made anyway.

My YouTube Channel: TWR Discussion - Porter

This is my discussion on the 2014 Wooden Railway Porter. Porter is a new character seen in season 17 in the episode Away from the Sea. He helped Salty with work while he went to get repaired at the diesel work's. Porter has three sand dome's on top to make sure he doesn't slip on the rail's. I got porter for $16. 95, and that includes taxes, were I live. Enjoy the video.

More TWR Discussions Coming to My You Tube Channel

Over the next few week's I will be doing some more Thomas Wooden Railway Discussion's on my raretwrhunter You Tube channel. The discussion's will include Porter, Peter Sam, Terence, Bulgy, Bertie, Lady, and  the Chinese Dragon. I just bought Porter, and the other engine's are my older one's that have been discontinued. My Porter discussion should be out latter this week. The Thomas & Friend's Fan-Base new's show is delayed because there isn't enough new's to make it an hour long talk show.

Tale of the Brave DVD Cover Revealed

A 2014 toy fair showed the new Tale of the Brave DVD along with a new Trackmaster set to go with the movie. The DVD cover can be seen below. It looks like there will be a regular DVD and a Blue-Ray combo pack like Mattel/Hit Entertainment have always done. This is Hit Entertainment's last year in charge of Thomas & Friends. The DVD cover is a cleaver design because the cardboard slip cover say's All-New Movie, but the DVD underneath say's Feature Length Special on my copy of King of the Railway.
