Between my house and my ex's my son has more Thomas stuff that I could ever believe was made, all the brio type stuff is at his mother's and we have the smaller plastic, carry stuff here with a while different set of trains and such
For this year the big thing is a Roboraptor (I got off easy)

It's very cool, rec for ages 8+ and he's a bright 4.5 year young so we'll see how he does with it, guess he'll get a little frustrated with it at first, learn most of it and come back to it. Hoping it will help improve his motor skills and manual dexterity (he's got to learn the remote for it)
Also got a crazy big lego castle, a Fire and Ice Dragon Mega Blok set, we all got our very own doodle monster, additional Lego's, a lego viking ship and dragon, floam, a matchbox haunted house set, (because I was forced to ride it's a small world TWICE on vacation he's getting) a small world ride play set (complete with ride and sound), nightmare before Xmas set, Chicken Little set, sets of disney cards with geography and assorted stocking stuffers.
He'll have Christmas at our house Christmas Eve morning and then have another Christmas with his mother
Really do work at not spoiling him (Know it doesn't sound like it),
he was not allowed to write "I've been good all year and would like this" to Santa. He had to write a proper letter and inquire after the elves, Ms. Claus and the reindeer
and we built a Gingerbread house to leave for Santa as a snack because Santa wrote that he likes ginger snaps (the reindeer like oatmeal and raisin cookies and the elves will eat about anything)
