The kids are more familiar with Rocky. The whole having a face thing is substantial. I stand with what Chaz. I wish the breakdown train would be made but Rocky may come first.

Rocky - (Sorry Sparks), but out of all the characters in the newer series, Rocky seems to be extremely popular with the kids.  If it has a face on it, Thomas fans go crazy. :P  As much as I PREFER the breakdown train.
My own childhood contradicts this. I remember being more excited for a Wooden Breakdown Train than I was Catherine or even Peter Sam. I don't see Rocky in many YT videos for Wooden Railway or Trackmaster videos (nor is he a popular character to model).


Maybe it's just me not wanting Bachmann to make a character that screams "commercialism" and -generic- kiddie quality..  :P

Quite true. The same for me.

I don't care what the crane is like, just as long as I can have a Sodor BreakDown crane, trust me that won't be cheap.

Just a tip. You can edit your post. No need to double-post. I don't understand what you mean by "Lady and Diesel 10 have same amount."

As for the rare characters, they haven't appeared nearly enough times to be high up on the list. Stepney is a classic engine and has appeared more than once, so he has more of a chance, but as for the others, it is a slim to none chance in my opinion. I wouldn't mind any of the rare things being made; I'm just stating an educated opinion.

Shining Time Station

It seems like everyone is forgetting a couple of engines!! everyone is so quick to jump to the new series or the recent movies that have been made to try and predict what will be made after duck finally comes out! If bachmann is going to finish off the first few seasons and make the long time fans happy i would love to see boco especially with the release of bill and ben this year kinda works hand in hand if you can still remember that first episode where boco meets the twins for the first time. If bachmann plans to go that route then they can change the size a little and make daisy as well. These 2 engines where involved a lot more in storylines then most of the engines being suggested. Honestly tho if i had my way it would be nice if bachmann was to focus on more buildings then making new engines right away after duck comes out. maybe a few new rolling stock but come on it would be nice to have the farm everyone is suggesting and some of the smaller stations on the line would be nice as well. Or even if bachmann wants to get really nice they could make the mine that bill, ben, and mavis work out. Later me now what you all think!!

P.S. I would love to see a flat car come out with the dragon on it for the carnival!!

PerfectPercy

I don't know if they could create a whole quarry and/or mine. Duck and Boco are very good thoughts considering the engines being released this year. Daisy is a good one too. I wonder when Oliver will come along as well. After these releases I wouldn't mind some more rolling stock (more vans, trucks, ESPECIALLY coaches). As for the buildings, I would like to see a 2/3/4 road freight shed made. That would be a nice layout edition.

I never got this.. Rockys been in.. how many episodes compared to the Breakdown Train, and how many seasons?  :P

Rocky- about 1-2 seasons and 3-5 episodes

Breakdown train: almost every season and about every other episode.

True, but who knows.  Obviously a lot more of us older fans would go crazy if the breakdown train came out.  I would get it without a doubt, I never liked the Hornby model.  I barely used it, so I sold it to a friend who's put it to better use.  My actual wishlist would involve Oliver replacing Whiff and the breakdown train replacing Rocky... and maybe some room for the old coaches or red coaches. :P

PerfectPercy

Ah, that's a good argument as well. The breakdown train has been around for longer. Breakdown train has been a cameo for a number of times, but Rocky has appeared a decent amount as well. He has been around for more than one to two seasons by the way. He appeared in season 10 (his debut), every season after that, and Hero of the Rails.

What's this about Whiff? Is he being made too all of a sudden?

I have a bet for you Sparks. We on the Wikia know of a character who is to come out in season 14 (We're not to sure about the season, but it should be season 14), named Den. We have this info from a "secret source" before even SIF knows! So the bet is, when Den is officially announced, you have to not say anything bad about the Wikia again. If I'm wrong and Den is not released you can say anything you like about the Wikia! So, do you agree? If not that's OK. I'll still have the last laugh! :D Den's page: http://ttte.wikia.com/wiki/Den

And do not ask me who or what the "secret source" is. I can't, and won't, tell! :P

Anyway what I want. (Not what I think will be released but what I want.)

First of all the name Den, just sounds plain lazy to me.  They already have a Dennis....

But seriously, can we please not make bets like this on the forum and get back on topic?

Whiff has never been announced or confirmed, it was some rumor that was said by another user that he was being made or they were making plans with him.  But we don't have any confirmation on Whiff so don't get your hopes too high.

Also, even if wikipedia was right this time, that doesn't mean they wont always be right after that.  No teacher in my school lets us use Wikipedia on projects because people can edit it with false information whenever they want.  It just could be some guy on his computer bored out of his mind just trying to spread lies and rumors.  :)
