The chuggers may have more detail, but that's just means more paint scrapes, Thomas one have a more simpler design yes but enough to indicate a decent toy for kids. Nice work Leo
i think the reason why details are simlar on the chuggington toys and not the thomas toys is because all the chuggington toys are owned by learning curve and thomas is own by learning curve and fisher price
lets show some facts: Learning curve makes the thomas and chuggington wooden toys, the wooden thomas is older than the chuggington wooden and uses less plastic which makes shuggington more detailed and chugggington sucks, great video!
@cubeproduktion whats your thoughts on the new Thomas sets with loads of plastic in them, how much plastic to you need before a railway stops being called wooden?
i know the chuggers playsets are super loaded with plastic
I'm really sorry for the delay in getting the winners up of the Action Thomas contest, there have been a number of personal problems going on and I just have not had the energy to get videos made. Hopefully the weekend will see the winners video up, and how I would have entered my own contest.
Tubers who keep hammering me for updates please back off I beg you. I always endeavour to do uploads which are worthwhile, i don't do fleeting moment vlogs.
@leokimvideo still featuring the contest video on my channel. How's the judging coming along? My kids fear they will never know the results and check with me frequently. What should I tell them?
@DAVE01568 all you should tell them is even mad bombers get sick, i am doing the best i can to pull together a winners video
i have known for a long time now i can't perform miracles like the vloggers do on the tube, my videos are not slapped together in front of a webcam like so many are
i also have to show how I would have done a entry, because on youtube we all learn from each other
@leokimvideo thx for responding to my past message im a huge fan also in chuggington wooden review and action thomas contest at 7:59 he says why?! cause of the low quality tomy thomas [please make a video about that] and cause chuggington die cast and thomas takealong dont connect. also my hornby thomas does not have traction tyres why is that? anyway got to go bye
@DAVE01568 as i said in my message please don't hold me to that date...!!!!!!!
i will be announcing quite a few prizes to hand out in one hit, at the moment i am struggling to make videos as I have been quite ill and youtube does not pay you sick leave
I recently paid a visit to hobbytown usa here in tennessee in the us. This hobbytown store was in johnson city tn. They have wooden chuggington toys there.
Your boy's choices and actions towards his decisions reminds me of ...when I was young. Thomas IS PRIME, many boys in similar scenarios look at their choices through a seemingly naiive 'Code of Honor,' regarding respect for THOMAS.
Ac.T looks great, has features to be longed for, but seems TABOO. (Like girls)
It's kinda dripping in sarcasm, but I love your Thomas voice.
I think wooden Thomas Toys have seemingly longer axles, in terms of scale, for tighter curves. Having smaller bodies that are "squatter" helps distribute the weight on the bogies better. They are shorter in length, and importantly, width.
That plastic Ring around the Chugger's magnets limit sharp arcs, with the bulky frames, and bodies wider than their axles.
Sorry, Leo, if I am not entering since it's now closed: I was looking for a battery powered Brio Thomas and other toys from that brand. I might also need Chuggington Wooden Railway sets and Chuggers as well. If I DID enter, I did not come to win; I would've come to see how my video was. Anyway, once I have the materials, I'll create a short starring Thomas and Brewster (not in contest!).
Possibly best way for all of us to see a comment is leave it on my channel I will remove the approve comment filter, please do not PM me on this as I want the Thomas community to see all the thoughts you have here.
Should I let the audience decide who becomes the winner?
One entry as copyright music in it, should this entry be allowed to win considering the rules related to copyright music on youtube?
Only one of these tubers was seen by me to autoplay my Chuggington review and it was part of the rules to gain bonus points, should this play out in dividing the entries?
Both entries have outstanding stories which have real surprises in them.
Also, for example do you like Keanu reeves in the matrix or johnie nemonic .same actor right? but the story is better. No one can beat a great story and visual effects.
@DAVE01568 your picking the wrong person to have a war here, how about the Shawshank Redemption, ranked as the best film of all time by IMDB top 250 films and is devoid of '"visual effects" to keep it alive it's just a fantastic story.
sadly i feel the days of a good story without visual tricks is over
You chuggington videos are more popular because of you and the fact that your one of the only one who is making great chugger videos. But even your son will agree that he rather play with Thomas trains. Thanks
@DAVE01568 i don't choose who watches my videos, why would the hard core Thomas army ever watch a Chuggers video. I'll be honest here I rarely ever see positive comments related to Chuggers
Maybe consider there is a third force on the tube, and it's something which we are witness to every day of our lives. In a way it has transformed youtube compared to it's format from a few years back.
I like to add to the conversation here. My kids and I decided to make our story with a third character, a dinosaur! Who represents the fans and foes of both franchises. And how the Dino chooses to have a big Thomas collection and to use Brewster a sole chungington to deliver more of what he desires. Just like most train fans. It also shows chuggington as a weak choice and given the dilemma Thomas if a force to be reckoned with. Even with your eyes closed your will get it and be entertained
@DAVE01568 can you explain to me why my chuggington videos are more popular than my Thomas videos? I see all the data and believe me the chuggers pull massive amounts of views, my first chuggers review is a massive viral video one of my biggest videos ever, who would have ever guessed this could happen!
it's something that no one has been able to explain, if you want a force on the tube make a chuggers video
I have judged all 29 entries, youtube simierski will also fill out a judging form.
I judged these entries without looking at the video but listened carefully to the story, there are two outstanding entries BUT only one followed the rule of having this video as autoplay on their channel, only 9 out of 29 entries complied with the autoplay aspect to entering, again it looks like it will decide the fate of who wins
I looked a week before close and a week after when checking for autoplay
@meg0n00by well tell me who do you think is the winner, remembering the rules of the contest, are both characters involved in the video?, does the story have a end result?, does the story stand out all alone without needing to watch the video?
It is a story strength contest and visual content is not part of the score, there is another tuber looking over the videos as well to assist me in finding a winner.
part of the rules laid out in the info area said this..
To score good points what's really important in this contest is your story making sure Thomas and Brewster have clear roles to play. In no way is this a contest about amazing video production or special effects.
so who has complied to this really important rule?
i also hear copyright music in some entries, should they be allowed to stay in the contest or even win?
@123ilikelego interesting... there are some characters who always seem to miss the boat, and then there are the missing in action characters who you just don't see anymore.
i think from the latest sets getting about in the take along series Percy seems to be the main in set character.
in the trackmaster Thomas is the most featured character.
the tender engines tend to always be left out of playsets
@DAVE01568 a very small number of people entered this contest, so this makes it very exciting, I will really miss my custom Action Thomas, just hope it's going to a home which will love him for what he is.
@DAVE01568 I just did the bonus points check, as it stands now only 5 entries had the contest video up as autoplay, I left comments on all the channels, dare say it's a wake up call for some but it comes too late.
those entering in the final days receive a reduced credit of bonus points if they are seen to autoplay the video
I have been getting some questions why the tuber Thomas4trainz was pulled from the contest.
This tuber asked me to remove his first entry and that was done, he had a second entry which had a running time of 14 mins, this was removed from the contest as I can't class that as a short video which is stipulated in the contest info.
This tubers first entry was amazing to watch but lacked a vital element which it needed to be successful. He's blocked until after the contest closes.
I do ask if your thinking of landing late entries in this contest all I ask you to do is please read the rules, I hate removing entries because of tubers who entered have not done this very simple step
I would also think you should look carefully at what has already been entered, don't copy previous stories!
I have just removed the last two entries from this contest, I felt to be fair to all others who entered it's best if this tuber now sits this contest out on the side lines as he's had two stabs at a entry, his second entry was rejected due to duration
I do ask for a short video, 14 mins is not a short video duration
As I see it the contest is again WIDE open, remembering it is story based, in no way do production values command a score here
Is it possible for me to upload an entry but not claim a prize if I win? I've started filming, and would love to finish and enter, but as much as I would love the rare prizes, I don't feel the need for it.
@TheRyanCarMan yes you can enter and not claim a prize, in fact I have had so many unclaimed prizes from competitions it's not funny, never really ever found out why people reject a prize
no offense to anyone who likes chuggington but I think that Chuggington is a thomas knockoff. disney probably heard about Thomas and how popular it was and created Chuggington
@TrackMaster555 from what I read Chuggers was started by ex Thomas staffers! Thats what's stated in the wiki article on Chugg
Ludorum (Chuggington) was founded in 2006 by Dick Rothkopf, Charlie Caminada and Rob Lawes. Rothkopf had previously been the chairman of Learning Curve International, a company which designed and manufactured educational toys. Caminada and Lawes had previously been executives for HiT Entertainment, the distribution company behind Bob the Builder and Thomas and Friends.
One of my favorite chuggington characters is Zephie. She is one of the cutest characters in my opinion. Her face almost reminds me of Tiny Kong from the Donkey Kong games.
this contest is all about your story, in a way it's the easiest contest I have held for the Thomas fans. I know many fear they will be smothered by those who make amazing looking content, I also know so many have excellent story telling ability and this contest is for them.
to enter go to the comments here, click in the box and to the right you will see in blue the option to add a video response, it's that simple
And by that i mean the one your son always chose first and tried to gave to you, bumping the camera lens =)
I dont know if that was a Tomy one when i think about it. Im not so good on model types apart from the Ertl range and the hornby and bachmann stuff. I just like to watch your Thomas Videos for the good old Childhood Nostalgia. The show was a big part of my growing up =]
@TheRyanCarMan the contest is still open, once we hit 20 entries I will put up a closing date
it does seem like a fail contest, not many tubers interested in entering, one good aspect is all the entries so far have been amazingly good and that's really nice to see.
always remembering the key to winning is in the story, it has nothing to do with the production values of the video..!
@berboma i see via the CGI they can do storied like Splish, Splash, Splosh, which would be difficult with models, but I fell the real action and great crashes have gone from the series which were great in the stories done with models.
I'm also not comfortable with the crazy virtual camera positions used in the CGI version
my heart is with the great model work which built the Thomas a fantastic empire to sell toys, dare say those days are now in the past.
@illiniguy34 i don't mind the in between series where the trains had moving faces on real models, in a way it was the best of both worlds but would have incurred extra production costs as both CGI and model departments would be costly
dare say the answer was eliminate one department and look what we have today
just somthin quic but b4 i say anything this is not in offence to you leo i watch most of ur vids and thin they r good. What is some littleid gonna care if a chuggington has betta stripes or not. just stuff to see as far as they care. they want to chug em and play with em. AND chugginton is practiclly copying thomas just bacwards. speaing moterized regular moterized wooden. WHATS NEXT A ERTL VERSION. if that comes out i will be SO mad. Thomas isnt for flash. hes for fun and use of imagination.
@simierski the big question is which company takes me to court for this cross over, it seems thats the thing some tubers are alerting me to these days
interesting how little people like to fell large trees, possibly they have far too much time on their hands or take out their lack of success on someone else
@leokimvideo - first one, I can't see that being the case. Once you've bought the model in question, you own it and can do as you please with it as a consumer. The only thing that may have any bearing on that is the recent Sony lawsuit against the owner of a PS3 who modded his later on. Second one - it's not me, and as always, I am grateful for all your help.
@simierski and we both know where Sony fits is in the consumers eyes, they have a record of some very poor decisions in relation to those who use their technology
microsoft would be a very close second and it looks like apple are trying their best to join the club

Is it possible for me to upload an entry but not claim a prize if I win? I've started filming, and would love to finish and enter, but as much as I would love the rare prizes, I don't feel the need for it.
TheRyanCarMan 8 months ago
@TheRyanCarMan yes you can enter and not claim a prize, in fact I have had so many unclaimed prizes from competitions it's not funny, never really ever found out why people reject a prize

no offense to anyone who likes chuggington but I think that Chuggington is a thomas knockoff. disney probably heard about Thomas and how popular it was and created Chuggington
TrackMaster555 8 months ago
@TrackMaster555 from what I read Chuggers was started by ex Thomas staffers! Thats what's stated in the wiki article on Chugg
Ludorum (Chuggington) was founded in 2006 by Dick Rothkopf, Charlie Caminada and Rob Lawes. Rothkopf had previously been the chairman of Learning Curve International, a company which designed and manufactured educational toys. Caminada and Lawes had previously been executives for HiT Entertainment, the distribution company behind Bob the Builder and Thomas and Friends.

One of my favorite chuggington characters is Zephie. She is one of the cutest characters in my opinion. Her face almost reminds me of Tiny Kong from the Donkey Kong games.

@alexandthomas hi
this contest is all about your story, in a way it's the easiest contest I have held for the Thomas fans. I know many fear they will be smothered by those who make amazing looking content, I also know so many have excellent story telling ability and this contest is for them.
to enter go to the comments here, click in the box and to the right you will see in blue the option to add a video response, it's that simple
hope this helps

Looking at the Tomy Take along Thomas, im wondering, does he fit on Wooden Tracks by any chance? His wheel gauge looks very close.
OwenDWF 8 months ago
@OwenDWF
And by that i mean the one your son always chose first and tried to gave to you, bumping the camera lens =)
I dont know if that was a Tomy one when i think about it. Im not so good on model types apart from the Ertl range and the hornby and bachmann stuff. I just like to watch your Thomas Videos for the good old Childhood Nostalgia. The show was a big part of my growing up =]

Oh no. I've fallen into procrastination again, and completely forgot about this one. I hope it's not too late to enter?
TheRyanCarMan 8 months ago
@TheRyanCarMan the contest is still open, once we hit 20 entries I will put up a closing date
it does seem like a fail contest, not many tubers interested in entering, one good aspect is all the entries so far have been amazingly good and that's really nice to see.
always remembering the key to winning is in the story, it has nothing to do with the production values of the video..!
a good story will always in the end be a winner!
leokimvideo 8 months ago
@leokimvideo Oh! Thanks for that! I was focusing more on the set building for this. I'll enhance my story a bit!

@illiniguy34 correct
leokimvideo 8 months ago
@leokimvideo then why would both compete if they're made by the same company?
illiniguy34 8 months ago
Great video! Good comparisons and its a shame that thomas has moved to cgi. What do you think?
berboma 8 months ago
@berboma i see via the CGI they can do storied like Splish, Splash, Splosh, which would be difficult with models, but I fell the real action and great crashes have gone from the series which were great in the stories done with models.
I'm also not comfortable with the crazy virtual camera positions used in the CGI version
my heart is with the great model work which built the Thomas a fantastic empire to sell toys, dare say those days are now in the past.
leokimvideo 8 months ago
@leokimvideo I miss those days, other than Splish, Splash, Splosh, Stop That Bus and Misty Island pulls it off good with the insane bridge.
illiniguy34 8 months ago
@illiniguy34 i don't mind the in between series where the trains had moving faces on real models, in a way it was the best of both worlds but would have incurred extra production costs as both CGI and model departments would be costly
dare say the answer was eliminate one department and look what we have today

The action thomas is a very curious thing indeed. Is it simply the colour and the face? Does shape actually have little effect on the model?
simierski 9 months ago
@simierski the big question is which company takes me to court for this cross over, it seems thats the thing some tubers are alerting me to these days
interesting how little people like to fell large trees, possibly they have far too much time on their hands or take out their lack of success on someone else
leokimvideo 9 months ago
@leokimvideo - first one, I can't see that being the case. Once you've bought the model in question, you own it and can do as you please with it as a consumer. The only thing that may have any bearing on that is the recent Sony lawsuit against the owner of a PS3 who modded his later on. Second one - it's not me, and as always, I am grateful for all your help.
simierski 9 months ago
@simierski and we both know where Sony fits is in the consumers eyes, they have a record of some very poor decisions in relation to those who use their technology
microsoft would be a very close second and it looks like apple are trying their best to join the club
