Today I decided it was time to buy my son his own Thomas the Train set. He has one at my mother in law’s house and is completely addicted. After hours of searching online and in stores I discovered a few things about these play sets. First of all my son seems to prefer the wooden classic train play sets over their plastic Take N Play type. Also, 1) The wooden trains and tracks are much higher quality and 2) the wooden trains and tracks are much higher priced!
After doing my research and physical visits to stores like Walmart and Toys R Us, I found that if you are in the market for Thomas the Train sets then Toys R Us Canada Online is your best bet. Right now you can shop at ToysRUs.ca and save 20% off of all Thomas the Train toys for a limited time.
I purchased the Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway 5 in 1 Up and Around Set. This 20 piece train play set includes lots of track, a tunnel and a bridge as well as Thomas the Train for only $47.97 which was much more appealing to me than the regular price of $59.99. It is a fantastic price considering the regular price of just Thomas the Train alone is $15!
Not to mention that you will also enjoy FREE standard shipping on all orders over $25 from Toys R Us Canada Online.

FYI, the Ikea wooden train sets are compatible with the Thomas wooden ones and the tracks cost a lot less.
Wow! Thanks Stephanie 🙂 That is a great tip actually. Will save a lot of people a lot of money.
Maybe I will buy the IKEA tracks and the Thomas Trains.. my son will never know the difference.
