Comments on: Thomas the Tank Engine Wasn’t Enough? https://whynow.dumka.us/2007/08/01/thomas-the-tank-engine-wasnt-enough/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Sat, 06 Oct 2007 19:18:56 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2007/08/01/thomas-the-tank-engine-wasnt-enough/comment-page-1/#comment-28209 Fri, 03 Aug 2007 15:12:16 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/2007/08/01/thomas-the-tank-engine-wasnt-enough/#comment-28209 Mattel needs to look at the real cost of the outsourcing.
