With all of this made in China stuff going around, I got on a website to research and the Trackmaster is ok but still made in China. The website also said that the safest toys are made in Germany. There are these play sets called Play Mobil. Has anyone heard of these? I am interested and think I want to purchase them but not if they are not safe.

I have a 22 year old son that was the 1st generation Thomas.. I actually have every piece boxed up still. He turned my 8 years younger nephew on to them.
I can tell you that after seeing these two boys with Thomas, if he really wants it, get it. I don't know what it was about Thomas but they were really into them too. They would both be very dissapointed had they not gotten them. I had no problems with ours as they were made really well. I don't doubt they were also made in China.
My son's Great Aunt bought him another set of trains, it was a whole layout with wooden tracks called
Brio. My son loved these just as much.
