BRIO’s catalog for 2019 is out, and I’ve posted a copy of the dealer version to Issuu. It’s part of my BRIO catalog stack.
All in all, this looks like a lackluster year for BRIO, though there are a few gems in the rough. The #33963 Safari Airplane, #33472 Tank Wagon (a returning car with a new design) and #33436 Loader are real stand-outs. The safari animal wagon collection is also pretty appealing.
Reader Jean-Christophe from Canada discovered that many of the 2019 items are available for pre-order on Amazon’s UK site. BRIO is continuing the tradition of a dated special edition train, and the 2019 release is the Freight Locomotive in a red and chrome livery which is just begging to be paired with #33472.
Hi John,
Thank you for sharing the 2019 catalog with us !
I am a little bit disapointed about the new items, excepted the very nice #33472 Tank Wagon and #33963 Safari Airplane . In comparison, 2018 with #33887 Lift and Load Wharehouse set and #33889 Crane and Mountain Tunnel, was exciting.
In the other hand, the fact that Brio adds some expansion to the safari theme is a good thing. I’ve always thought that the set #33720 was not easy to mix with other themes, even if they illustrated it to be part of the Luna Park’s sets.
I love how they’re finally bringing back the eight-wheel tanker after being retired for so long, AND it looks even better than before!
It will perfectly match the 2019 Special Edition train.
