A few weeks ago my Grandma excitedly called to tell me that she had found a whole set of Thomas trains in a collector's case at a yard sale. (Those of you who know her know, yard sales/flea markets are her THING!) Anyway, she was so proud that she had bought $150 worth of toys for $40 and she was coming over ASAP to bring it to Rylan. I told her that would be a wonderful Christmas gift but she wouldn't have it. She wanted her gift to be exclusive, without the distraction of other gifts, and wanted him to enjoy it right away! Of course Rylan was overjoyed and continues to get a lot of playtime out of the new set! After hearing the story, he tells people this is his $65 train! Ahh, inflation! Anyway, thank you Grandma!
