I think set wise, I don't think we will get any "Special Edition" sets. Unless if it was something like Thomas and Bertie's Great Race or Percy Proves a Point set, etc. (Something that doesn't have an engine in a different sort of condition, (IE Thomas Comes to Breakfast, A Better View for Gordon, etc.)
Oh and some responses to donaldengine9's suggestions:
Hank, Flora, Hiro, Kevin, and Victor - WAY too soon to assume that they are coming out, maybe in the future. I have my doubts on Season 12 and 13 characters, the only new Thomas character I can see having a chance being made would be Stanley. Though I'm sure in time chances of Hiro being made will be much higher.Hiro looks like an awesome character, and I can definetely see him coming out, but much later though.
RWS Donald and Douglas - Big no... Bachmann focuses on the TV series characters, if they were to make Donald and Douglas they would be in their original black colors like in the TV series.
Gordon's Special coaches - Spencer's Special Coach has been done and they are pretty much the same model, just used for different purposes.
Breakdown Train pack - I can see the breakdown train and works coach being sold seperately, not together though.
Narrow Gauge Engines - Not possible I'm afraid, I'll show you a post from our good friend Guilford Guy (modified post) who gave reasons to why the Narrow Gauge Engines will not be made:Quote from: Guilford Guy on August 01, 2008, 07:27:39 PM
1. They don't make HOn2, and aren't going to start anytime soon since its an obscure scale in this country, very few model it, and they already are pleasing the narrow gauge crowd with On30, and 1:20.3.
2. So many more people by their Spectrum Equipment as opposed to the Toy Thomas Equipment, which is why they don't announce as much for Thomas as they do for their other HO equipment.
3. Its an obscure line in the show, so why would they focus on something seen less often.
4. It would require thousands of dollars to make the molds for something that won't sell well.
5. They'd have to engineer another line of track for the HOn2 stuff to run on.
6. HOn2 is too small for the market of small children that Bachmann is aiming to sell to.

Vollmer is an entirely separate company from Kader, and Kader would face lawsuits like Sanda Kan, if they were to use another companies toolings to make a profit. That sounds like a great idea, right?
I'm really hoping that Bachmann is using the Vollmer Roundhouse as the base of Tidmouth Sheds to give it that real TV Series look.

i heard Boomer was cut because there was a guy that was arrested and his name was P.T Boomer. i found that on sodorisland.net
not entirely true.
While there was a guy that was arrested, it was due to the fact that there was a recent bombing, and also the fact that the children in the test audience were scared of the character.
