Bluebell

*“When the ERTL toys were on the pegs there were always stacks of Bluebell engine not selling. The poor ERTL engine without a face but looks just like Thomas. Imagine the anger building up in Bluebell to be left faceless amongst the other toy trains that had faces. That anger would be motivation to be The Mad Bomber. To me it's obvious, but no one ever saw that Bluebell was the bomber.”*
―Leo's comment on Bluebell.**Bluebell** is a faceless green tank engine who desperately wanted to be Thomas.

Poptropica Figures Review Saga

**Poptropica Figures Review Saga** is a toy review by Leokimvideo. It was uploaded on April 14th 2012.

## Description

It's not often when I get really grumpy about a toy, well done to Poptropica as they have set a new low in my toy review books. Lets hope those behind Poptropica see this video and have some investigations into quality control.

**The three sets seen in this review are**

* Shark Tooth Island
* Super Power Island
* Skullduggery Island

Now I am wondering who else has had the same problems with the swappable heads and stolen codes from toys. I know stolen codes this is a constant problem with Club Penguin toys. It seems some children and very keen to steal codes, coins and tokens and use cheats to gain items for these online games.

A very pear shaped review and I need to speak to Toys R Us to get to the bottom of what's happened. In the end after daddy did some alterations to the toys it all works fine. But when I pay $17 for a toy I expect a much better product considering the small size and simplicity of the toy.

Sadly I have to rate this as a fail toy.

## Plot

Leo and his daughter review some Poptropica toys. Leo sees them as a fail toy as the toys do not fit together.

Christmas Time Early Easter Eggs - EPIC FAIL

**Christmas Time Early Easter Eggs - EPIC FAIL** is an educational video by Leokimvideo. It was uploaded on December 31st 2011.

## Description

Confirmed retailing madness..! My local Coles supermarket had a very early Easter egg display over 3 months before Easter falls. Is this retailing madness or is it standard fare to have Easter eggs in stores while Christmas Decorations are still up.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/more...

All the shoppers I spoke to were very surprised and shocked to see Easter eggs out so early. I ask Coles Australia to explain to me the need for such forced retailing and also ask how does this respect the religious aspects of Christmas and Easter.

My contact e-mail for Coles is: leokimvideo@gmail.com

SANTA has barely left town and Easter is already on the way.

While weary shoppers make the most of post-Christmas sales, thousands of Easter eggs have already pushed yuletide leftovers off supermarket shelves as retailers move to cash in.

Supermarket giants Coles and Woolworths are stocking Easter fare three months ahead of the April 8 festival.

Both shoppers and supermarket workers have been shocked to see Easter items replace festive goods so quickly.

One Coles worker said Easter eggs started arriving at the supermarket's warehouse before Christmas, and were shipped to stores on Boxing Day. Hot cross buns hit Woolworths stores yesterday, with Easter eggs expected to become available over the next fortnight. The move has angered some shoppers.

"Don't they know we're still enjoying Christmas? I've still got leftover ham and pudding," one said.

"It's way too early to start thinking about Easter."

"It's just opportunism."

But Coles spokesman Jon Church said the supermarket was trying to meet demand.

"Our customers, especially larger families, tell us that they like the opportunity to spread the cost of Easter by buying products over the next few months," he said.

Woolworths spokeswoman Siobhan Quinn said hot cross buns were one of the store's highest selling bakery items in the lead-up to Easter.

"There is also a strong demand for small eggs, even this early in the year," she said.

## Plot

Leo complains about Coles selling Easter Eggs right after Christmas.

## Trivia

* This was the last video of 2011.
* This video foreshadows NO CHRISTMAS GARFIELD I'M A VERY UPSET TOY COLLECTOR :(
* This is the first time Leo shows interest in a Christmas Garfield.

## Quotes

* "I am disgusted by this."
* "Yummy!"
* "Maybe I'm crazy."
* "I've actually got my eyes on this little Garfield guy."
Dizzy Dancers Dance Off Fun

**Dizzy Dancers Dance Off Fun** is a short video uploaded by Leokimvideo on July 27th 2012.

## Description

Dizzy Dancers are loads of fun, especially once they get into dance battle mode. Yep it's like beyblades for girls without the anger and they look so cute. You can do lots of things with these mix n match dancers, my daughter loves to do dance contests. The secret to winning is choosing the Dizzy Dancer who has the best balance.

## Plot

Leo and his daughter make their Dizzy Dancers battle to the death.

Thomas And Friends Diesel 10 Talking Take N Play Vs Take Along Face Off

**Thomas And Friends Diesel 10 Talking Take N Play Vs Take Along Face Off** is a toy review and a comparison video by Leokimvideo. It was uploaded on June 30th 2012.

## Description

The Thomas & Friends Take N Play toys are excellent, so will having these toys talk improve their playability and appeal? I do a hardcore comparison between a 2011 Take N Play Talking Diesel 10 and a much older 2002 Take Along Diesel 10, what I uncover is fairly interesting considering the massive changes to the Thomas characters since the CGI transformation.

Hmmm, now how does this new Diesel 10 fit in The Dieselworks..!

Diesel 10 is a villainous Diesel with a roof-top hydraulic grabber named "Pinchy", he's one of the most popular characters in the Thomas franchise.

## Plot

Leo compares the 2011 Talking Diesel 10 Take 'n' Play toy to other Diesel 10 models, such as the 2002 Take Along Diesel 10 and the 2000 ERTL Diesel 10.

## Quotes

* "Give us back the old face!"
* "All in one and you won't lose your legs"
Ladies at the Charity Shop

The **Ladies at the Charity Shop** are an important factor of Leo's many Thomas collection videos, they make sure Leo gets his monthly supply of Thomas Goodness. They are never seen but are occasionally mentioned.

Around 2018, the regular Ladies at the Charity Shop were replaced because Leo's usual Charity Shop had closed down.

## Trivia

* The former Ladies at the Charity Shop gave Leo special deals on Thomas the Tank toys.
Cannon Bamboo Island Style

**Cannon Bamboo Island Style** is a video showcasing a bamboo gun made by a group of kids in Fiji, Melanesia.

## Synopsis

Leo showcases a firing cannon device constructed using bamboo.

## Description

Respect for fire is something sadly lacking in modern day society, its great to see these kids enjoy the adventure of a fire breathing bamboo gun.
Play with fire, either you win or you burn.
Not recomended for home use, extremely dangerous, hazardous, but heaps of fun.
G Scale Black Canyon Express Outdoors & Newquida Track Run

**G Scale Black Canyon Express Outdoors & Newquida Track Run** is a video about a G Scale back garden railway that Leo had.

## Description

Considering I also have a Newquida garden railway layout I ran the light weight Black Canyon Express on some foreign tracks. It was interesting to see what problems started to happen. My son also tried some Thomas & Friends Take n Play trains on the large G scale tracks...choo, choo. UPDATE, the train you see in this video died shortly after this video was produced, that strange sound coming from the locomotive was the beginning of the end. First forward movement failed then reverse. I was unable to fix whatever had happened to the train. It was given a good two weeks of hard use by my son before it developed the death rattles.
Buy cheap, buy twice.. so I did, and now I have a massive railway layout and a ton of rolling stock.
How To Turn Hail Into Snow

**How To Turn Hail Into Snow** is an educational video by Leokimvideo. It was uploaded on December 25th 2011.

## Description

High speed video footage of a hail storm which for me was my first white Christmas. Hail is a form of solid precipitation. It consists of balls or irregular lumps of ice, each of which is referred to as a hail stone. Hail stones consist mostly of water ice and measure between 5 millimetres (0.20 in) and 200 millimetres (7.9 in) in diameter, with the larger stones coming from severe thunderstorms.

## Plot

Leo tells us how to make hail look like snow using video editing and tells us about the weather in Australia.

Finn's Monster High Adventure Time Leg Repair UFO

**Finn's Monster High Adventure Time Leg Repair UFO**is an educational video uploaded on the 21st of December 2012.

## Description

This video will show you how I repaired my 5 inch Adventure Time Finn after the leg broke within hours of being opened. I also investigate how other toys do leg and arm articulation and focus on my Daughters Monster High Dolls for inspiration. I'm pretty sure there are loads of people out there who have a Finn with broken legs, I hope my video can assist some to a repair and get Finn back on his own two feet. It's sad that this toy is so poorly made considering how much I paid for it. There is also some footage of a really strange hyper speed UFO, looks like those mystery chemtrails just keep happening. Lets hope it's not another Chinese stealth fighter.

## Trivia

* The broken toy was from Adventure Time FAIL Finns BROKEN Leg.
* This video was uploaded on the same day as Thomas Ride-On Fix & Water Warning
Angry Birds FREE Web Game Trap Parents Shopping Nightmare Caught On Camera

**Adventure Time FAIL Finns BROKEN Leg** is a complaint video uploaded on the 7th of May 2014.

## Description

Angry Birds free game makes for a VERY angry tantrum Son and angry Dad. My pet hate when shopping is trap positioning and packaging which is set at a height to attract children for a easy sale. My son thinks there is an Angry Birds toy in the Nestle breakfast cereal when in fact it's a stupid waste of time web game and codes on the cereal box. Breakfast cereals tend to be pack loaded with sugar, it's something I try to avoid at all costs because much of my weight problems were directly related to foods with very high sugar amounts. Luckily I was able to loose a huge amount of weight when I did my McDonalds 30 day diet challenge..this taught me much about the EVILS of sugar in a diet even if you claim your breakfast cereals are low in sugar.

This was filmed at Coles Australia in a Sydney store, I can report the Nestle Angry Birds free game breakfast cereal sold very fast on that end aisle position. It was a very nasty promotion place and obviously set up so children could see Red Bird on the breakfast cereal boxes. This is trap product positioning and it's very wrong, especially when it's aimed directly at children in the store.

Shame on you Nestle, shame on you Coles and shame on you Angry Birds. Who ever makes these decision to sell sugar loaded foods always remember all you are doing is showing us just how desperate you are to pull a sale. Please never let this happen again, looks at the trouble it can cause.

## Plot

When Son Henry notices a cereal display with Red Bird on it, and thinks there is a toy inside, but in reality the promotion is only about a web game. Disaster ensues when Leo refuses to purchase him the cereal and throws a massive tantrum.

Leo also showcases the sugar content that the cereals contain.

## Quotes

* "Hey, you wanna wave goodbye to Angry Birds? Buh-Bye! Bye Angry Birds! Bye! Goodbye, good ridants!" - Leo to Son Henry.
Thunderbirds Tracy Island & Rescue Pack - Matchbox Toys

**Thunderbirds Tracy Island & Rescue Pack - Matchbox Toys** is a toy review by Leokimvideo uploaded on July 24th 2012.

## Description

A retro toy review of the Matchbox Thunderbirds Tracy Island and Matchbox Thunderbirds Rescue Pack. These toys were part of the revival of the Thunderbirds TV series when it was released on DVD in the 1990's. Overall these toys are stunning, any Thunderbirds fan would be happy with these toys which exhibit amazing playability with sound effects which ties directly into the Thunderbirds TV series from the 1960's. Thunderbirds Are Go.This Matchbox Tracy Island toy has a curious history of being extremely short supplied to the consumer. A BBC TV series Blue Peter did a episode on how to make your own Tracy Island. It's a excellent project and the link to the build info PDF is here.

I also show my rare Matchbox Gold Plated Thunderbirds Box Set compromising of 6 unique pieces including the International Rescue badge. Sadly these collectables are showing some signs of corrosion even though they have never been out of their display box. Has me wondering if this problem exists with other collectors who have this set.

## Plot

Leo shows off one of his favourite pieces of his large Thunderbirds collection. He reviews the Tracey Island set and sings it's praises.

## Quotes

* "Thunderbirds are go! DRH DRH DRH DRHH" (x10)
Potato Head 'Behind The Scenes Video Secrets'

**Potato Head 'Behind The Scenes Video Secrets'** is a video showing the making of Leo's short film, *Potato Head*.

## Description

It was shot over two days at a exclusive Sydney waterfront address the editing took well over a week of work.
This video was produced one year before Rolling Stock and it proved to me that making films with people is far more difficult than using model trains, all the people who appear in the video are playing themselves apart from Laurie who is Dr Walker. And it would be honest to say that Laurie was my only real actor.!
This video was put together for a video club promotion on aspects of video making, and hopefully it will have you looking a little more closely at the video Potato Head.
Attention to detail is a key aspect to film making, its often something overlooked by the biggest hollywood blockbusters, but not here.
Personally it is my favourite video for many rerasons.
Thomas Tank Dark Side Knock Off Toys Ep4 My Preciousssssssss

## Description

Welcome to Thomas Dark Side episode 4, a curious look into the dark realm of copy and knock off Thomas the Tank products. Thanks to youtuber simierski for posting to me a very nice copy Thomas.

It should be a very clear reminder to all of us just how good the licensed Thomas & Friends products are.

## Toys Shown:

## Video Description

Let's investigate the 33rd St Lukes Model Railway Exhibition. Lots of amazing model trains and miniature detail to wonder at. This video was saved from scrap after my Apple iMac Fusion Drive failed. I had to employ a data recovery company to recover the video then deal with damaged video files that would crash Adobe Premiere. One of the biggest nightmare videos I have had to pull together.

Noel

**Noel** is a green engine.

## Biography

Noel was a green tank engine who was working on the railway when Thomas was blown up by the Mad Bomber. Noel was present when The Fat Controller broke the news about the bomber being on the loose, Noel was accused by Bob of being the bomber. Noel was amazed by the features on the new video cameras given to the engines and suggested that they could start a video club. Noel would appear in Earl, Scottish John and Thomas' videos, pulling the LPG tankers in John's and idling around the rail yard in Earl and Thomas' videos. Noel would also be the one to notice the bomb on the turntable in Thomas' video and would be there when Thomas is congratulated for his heroism and calls out the Fat Controller on apparently being the bomber.
Sleeping With Diesel 10 - Insight Into Playtime

**Sleeping With Diesel 10 - Insight Into Playtime** is a educational video by Leokimvideo uploaded on June 24th 2012.

## Description

This video is a really important one which plays out in a upcoming video. Hopefully you can see how my son (age 2 years 8 months) plays with Thomas & Friends and Chuggington trains as a mixed railway. He does not see them as two totally different brands. But why does he still struggle with Chuggington's character names remembering it's said a child's mind is like a sponge for information. His struggle with Chuggington's names has had me curious for a long time now. What is it about the Thomas characters which make them so easy to remember?

Watching children's behaviour with toys is something the toy giants do all the time as it's a key indicator to the effect and playability of a toy. Children tend to be very selective in what they play with.

I get loads of ideas for my youtube videos by watching how both my children play with their toys. I am always eager use their ideas in my reviews. My series of mash up toy videos have direct links to watching my children play with toys.

Sparklers Warning

**Sparklers Warning** is an educational video by Leokimvideo uploaded on the 28th of July 2012.

## Description

The humble old party sparkler seems to have suffered a nasty downsize. Who knows what has caused this, maybe it's connected to 9/11. Over the years in my field of work I have used sparklers many times, it's really sad to see how they have changed and lost much of their safe fireworks effect.
Maybe the downsize is designed to lower the risk when making sparkler bombs. Sparkler bombs are constructed by binding together as many as 300 sparklers with tape, leaving one extended to use as a fuse. In 2008 three deaths were attributed to these home-made devices, which can be ignited accidentally by heat or friction. Because they usually contain more than 50 milligrams of the same explosive powder found in firecrackers, they are illegal in the USA
The "classic" type of sparkler consists of a stiff metal wire approximately 20 cm or 8 inches long that has been dipped in a thick batter of slow-burning pyrotechnic composition and allowed to dry.

## Plot

Leo compares two brands of sparklers and notices one brand has downsized in recent years.
ALDI Smoke Machine Problems and Fix Z400 Model

**ALDI Smoke Machine Problems and Fix Z400 Model** is a video about fixing an ALDI smoke machine.7

## Description

Many people ask me about the two Aldi smoke machines I use. The 2010 model stopped working and this made me take a look inside to find the pump was rusty and that stopped it from working. But that was only part of the problem as there was a blockage in the tube which goes through the heating element. The 2011 model is going strong and has no sign of any problems. I use both my smoke machines a fair bit, I also use a thicker smoke fluid than the Livingstone brand which comes with these machines. Possibly my problems were related to the use of different smoke fluid. Considering these smoke machines are only $30 in Australia that's amazing value. Overall I am very happy with these cheap smoke machines considering the punishment I land on them. These machines tend to appear in the Aldi shops around Halloween time in Australia. Heats up in 8 mins 300mL tank capacity 400W heater Includes 1L of fog liquid Wired controller Size: 23 x 11 x 11cm

## Plot

Leo shows us how to fix a smoke machine using wire and shows us the differences between a 2010 model and 2011 model.

Thomas Tank Collection Mystery TOMY Playset Toy Review Part 4

**Thomas Tank Collection Mystery Tomy Playset Toy Review Part 4** is the forth instalment of Leo's Thomas Tank Collection series. It was uploaded on June 22nd 2012.

## Description

A very delayed split video (part 1) upload which looks at a selection of Thomas & Friends toys collected for me between December 2011 and January 2012. There are some beautiful examples of Thomas toys rendered in so many ways. Has me wondering how many variations of the little blue engine are getting about.

I investigate why Thomas toys sometimes have that splash of white under his boiler which really transforms any Thomas model. If only this feature was on every toy produced as it would make a huge difference to the overall appeal of the toys.

The giveaway is over and youtuber's chosen from the video responses.

I have a strong relationship with my local Lion's club as they receive from me many of the toys I review on youtube and they turn these toys into cash for the work they do. Lions Club programs include sight conservation, hearing and speech conservation, diabetes awareness, youth outreach, international relations, environmental issues, and other programs.

Thomas Adventures Salty Store Escape Retail Horror Toy Story AMAZON Oz is Coming!

**Adventure Time Figure Collection 2 & 5 inch**is a complaint video uploaded on the April 18, 2017.

## Description

Amazon Australia has just explained it's plans to wipe out retailers and the problems you see in this video. I purchase many Thomas & Friends toys to do Thomas toy reviews. If I see a new Thomas toy I do my best to grab it. Thomas Adventures are the new toy trains that Mattel are making to replace Take N Play toys. Stupidly I shop for toys in real retail shops and not online. But there is one retailer I constantly have problems with when purchasing a new Thomas toy. I go to this company's stores every week and some staff at my local store know me really well. All too often a toy will not scan at the checkouts, this can trigger a lot of confusion and delay but not always. But on this Easter Monday (17 - 4 - 2017 @ 2.33) after finding a brand new Thomas & Friends Adventures toy featuring a Talking Salty I was told that this toy could not be sold to me at the checkouts because it did not scan. The staff said it had to be pulled back into the store. I suggested to double scan the other same priced Thomas toy to quickly resolve the small problem. Sadly this could not be done. This is the story of how I was treated at the point of sale and how I finally released this Thomas toy from the store which is a major retailer across Australia. For legal reasons this company is not named by me in this video. The way I was treated will make sure my days of spending many thousands of dollars in their stores is over. Amazon Australia is about to kick off a full service and I will be doing my best to use them to buy toys I show on my YouTube channel. I will make sure this retailer see's this video. They need to get their systems together and the correct prices on the shelves. This is not the time to be stuffing over loyal customers. Amazon Oz is about to change everything.

## Plot

Leo explains about the worst shopping experience he ever had on Easter Sunday 2017 involving a Thomas Adventures Salty that wouldn't scan at the checkouts of a store he regularly shops at.

Throughout the video, he breathes in and out using a paper bag.

## Quotes

LEGO Star Wars v MEGA BLOKS Halo - Smash Labs

**LEGO Star Wars v MEGA BLOCKS Halo - Smash Labs** is a toy review by Leokimvideo. It was uploaded on April 21th 2012.

## Description

Has MEGA BLOKS delivered a LEGO killer via the very impressive HALO UNSC Shortsword (set 96835) which I compared to the LEGO T6 Jedi Shuttle (set 7931)

I'm pretty sure the crash test results will have the Lego fanboys searching for answers as it's very clear Mega Bloks have a strong and good looking design here. I am highly impressed with the HALO UNSC Shortsword. As always LEGO have outstanding play features and attention to detail.

Lego need to address the Australian retail pricing considering the now long term strength of the AUD v USD.

## Plot

Leo compares two construction sets, LEGO Star Wars T6 Jedi Shuttle and MEGA BLOCKS HALO UNSC Shortsword.

## Quotes

* "So away I go, with my fat little fingers."
$5 Toy Challenge - Value Play Collect

**$5 Toy Challenge - Value Play Collect**is a toy review uploaded on the 10th of November 2012.

## Description

In a series of toys all worth $5 where I live, which one presents the best value for money, play-ability and collect-ability? Toys seen in this video are. Elmo, Mighty Beans, Star Wars Fighter Pods, Hot Wheels, Lego Minifigure, Barrel of Monkeys, SpongeBob SquarePants, Littlest Pet Shop, Club Penguin, Tech Deck and Squinkies. Some of the toys I show are known classics, some are new to the market and some may fail. Could I pull a return on a $5 investment on any toy if it was put away mint in box for 50 years? Does a fail toy become a collectors item? Are toys now so mass produced it's impossible for them to be worth anything in the future? This giveaway is now closed.

## Plot

Leo shows us lots of toys you can buy for $5 and then gives them away.

## Quotes

* "Theres Elmo's big feet!"
* "Its got a hole up its bum."

LED Lights Fixing Cheap K-Mart Crap - SHOCKING

**LED Lights Fixing Cheap K-Mart Crap - SHOCKING**is a video by Leokimvideo uploaded on the 12th of July 2012.

## Description

A report and how to repair the malfunctioned LED lights I purchased at K-Mart for $15. I certainly uncover some real nasty low quality work in these low voltage lights. Is this what we really want in our shops or are we all now addicted to buying extremely cheap Chinese made goods which seem to be the staple of so many retailers. Buy cheap buy twice!

As a consumer I am within my rights to return faulty goods which are sold to me, but it's always interesting to investigate exactly what is being sold. Especially when more than one item goes faulty. This is often a indication there is a much bigger problem linking the common cause of failure. The get out of jail aspect to all this is these lights are low voltage, and it seems almost anything goes in the way these devices are put together.

## Plot

Leo fixes and complains about some faulty lights he bought from K-Mart.

## Quotes

* "Hellow, I just realised I could be another one of those crazy vloggers"
