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
In 2008, LEGO celebrated two major milestones—the 30th anniversary of the Minifigure and the 50th anniversary of the LEGO Brick—marking half a century of creativity, innovation, and expansion. This year also saw the launch of LEGO Cuusoo, an early version of what would eventually become LEGO Ideas, allowing fans to submit and vote on set concepts for potential production. This initiative paved the way for some of LEGO’s most collectible and fan-driven releases in the years to come.
