Why isnt there a Chuggington themed train set?

I just realized that there has not been a Lego, or even a Duplo set on the Chuggingtons. If you didn’t know, the Chuggington is a children’s television show revolving around a group of trains and their wild adventures. Does it sound familiar? Its premise is the same, or even copied from Thomas the Tank Engine. Chuggingtons is computer generated, while the original “Thomas and friends” television shows, used real model trains, and used stop motion and lip sync to have the characters talk. Thomas and friends is beloved by children, and now adults all over the world, compared to Chuggingtons, it looks like another rip off. But surprisingly enough, I prefer the Chuggingtons over Thomas and friends, because I never got why people liked that show so much. In my opinion, the train models from Thomas and friends look kind of out of place, and kind of creepy. Stop motion has that effect to display very inorganic movement, and Thomas and friends was no exception. Almost every kind of vehicle has that weird gray square or circle, with that creepy face in it. It would be a lot better if they were not as detailed, because it was kind of creepy they have a permanent smile on their face. I prefer the Chuggingtons more, because it has a lot more vibrant colors, smoother animation, and the trains don’t look half bad. Thomas and friends would have faces on the front of the train, but in Chuggingtons its more of using the model of the train, and arranging the train so they look different from one another. Then why wasn’t there a Chuggingtons Lego or Duplo set? There are certainly a lot of Chuggingtons themed toys, like tracks, buildings, and of course trains. Couldn’t the Chuggingtons be like a regular train set with minifigure like train cars? Cant it be like a alternative if someone doesn’t like Duplo, or Thomas the tank engine? Well, 2011 is still young we can still hope for this holiday season.
