Thomas Wooden Railway Thumper Although he was built by the Sodor Mining Company to speed up operations, Thumper often goes out of control, causing minor disruptions when he works with Rusty. His manner is cool, and no job is too big for him. Compatible with other leading wooden train systems. Ages 2+ 99173 Learning Curve RC2
Customer Review: Poorly designed toy
My 3 1/2 yr old son LOVES Thomas and Friends. He was thrilled when he received Thumper because the Boulder video is one of his favorites. Unfortunately, I agree with the other review, the tread constantly comes off Thumper. As soon as my son pushes Thumper the tread slips off and I have to put it back on. This is extremely frustrating for anybody much less, a toddler. He went from being thrilled to chilled. He occasionally comes back to Thumper and tries to play with him, but of course, the tread slips off and he is disappointed. This is definitely not a well designed toy when it comes to the treads and their fit. The rest of Thumper is just as cute and durable as all of the other wooden Thomas trains. Skip buying this one if you can, otherwise your child and you are in for frustration and disappointment.
Customer Review: Pain in the neck!
My 3-year-old son has a ton of the Thomas vehicles and loves them, but Thumper is poorly designed. The treads fall off the wheels right away, and you will be spending your time replacing them every 5 minutes! I’m not sure why the previous reviewer gave this item 5 stars while complaining about the treads coming off. This is my major complaint with Thumper.
