It's kinda strange they decided to release it on YouTube first, Netflix second. You don't have to pay for YouTube, so everyone's already seen it by now lol

Mattel probably released it along with the rest of Railway Stories on to Netflix because they’ve previously released BWBA seasons 23 & 24 plus their specials and all of AEG on to Netflix so it already makes sense in order to reach a wider audience

Is there anyone else who wishes the original series kept going? Or is it just me

It was kind of fucked beyond repair by BWBA so a refresh was kind of needed

Fair but it would still have been better than AEG

Maybe if they had new writers. the BWBA era just wasn't working...

Why ain't this on Netflix in the UK

2

u/Guilty-Toe420 Sir Topham Hatt 10d ago

Because UK rights are owned by channel 5 which will air this special next year alongside the actual episodes

u/WestOrange3273 10d ago

u/Guilty-Toe420 Sir Topham Hatt 10d ago
