Thomas & Friends: The Classic Collection

Thomas & Friends: The Classic Collection is a US Blu-ray and DVD release of the British children's program(me), Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends. The collection is available in both separate complete series, or complete season, sets and a bigger pack containing all seven Blu-rays and DVDs, a bonus disc featuring all thirteen completed episodes of the Jack and the Sodor Construction Company mini-series, and a book with information on the making of the show and the history of the Thomas franchise.

Similar to the remastered versions seen on the British DVDs and the American The Early Years DVD, each episode will receive all-new high-definition transfers derived from the original camera footage.
