About LEGO Duplo Thomas and Friends

Thomas and Friends is a LEGO DUPLO subtheme based on the Thomas the Tank Engine television show, train toys and The Railway Series books. The theme was released in 2005 in North America and later in 2007 in the UK and was discontinued in 2010. Fifteen sets in all were produced.
2008 LEGO Sets
2008 celebrated two milestones: the 50th anniversary of the LEGO brick and the 30th anniversary of the minifigure. LEGO Cuusoo (later LEGO Ideas) launched in Japan, paving the way for fan-designed sets. Indiana Jones joined Star Wars as LEGO’s second Lucasfilm theme, and Speed Racer appeared briefly alongside it. In-house lines included Agents and the debut of LEGO Architecture, aimed at adult collectors. The Green Grocer (10185) further elevated the Modular Buildings line, confirming its status among LEGO’s most prestigious collections.
