Thank you...
I was going to say: no model is anywhere near indestructible. The buffers even bend to begin with. There is no way to make the products stronger unless you are willing to pay more money. I think this would also affect performance because they would have to use a mold of a something other than plastic...
Honestly, they are really fine in terms of durability. I've heard many accounts of Thomas trains falling 3 feet and being fine... (Not sure if I believe it, but meh.)
it depends hoe they land if they land on their cab or wheels they will be fine.

CAB?! Wow, I'm surprised. I did drop James on his cab once and he's fine, but that really surprises me. I thought I just got pretty lucky.

That
has broken them? I would think that few YouTubers that actually treat them like
models break their engines. When you see an engine flying off of a table and three feet to the ground... the trains are not meant to survive without some destruction/damage.

Most Youtubers (just like anyone else) treat their models physical state with care (despite the sometimes horrifying repaints).
Sorry, but if you're doing things to your Thomas models to where they frequently break, then it's easy to assume you're using them as toys, and thus have no right to complain to the company for your actions.
