The Best Collection is a Japanese DVD featuring four second series episodes, two third series episodes, and two fourth series episodes narrated by Leo Morimoto. Each episode was chosen as the best episode from each of the 8 DVDs in the Nice to Meet You, Thomas! DVD series.

Episodes

1. トーマスあさごはんにおじゃま (Thomas Comes to Breakfast)
2. パーシーとハロルド (Percy and Harold)
3. あかはなのジェームス (Buzz, Buzz)
4. トンネルのなかのかいぶつ (Henry and the Elephant)
5. がんばりやのエドワード (Edward's Exploit)
6. みんなのだいひょう (The Deputation)
7. しんじられるきかんしゃ (Trust Thomas)
8. ゆうかんなきかんしゃ (Gallant Old Engine)

Trivia

• Because the episodes were chosen from the Nice to Meet You, Thomas! DVD series, certain characters can be seen in episode title cards despite not appearing or only making a cameo in that specific episode. This is because the DVD series often included multiple characters on the same DVD.
  • Toby in Edward's Exploit
  • Bill and Ben in The Deputation
  • Harold in Trust Thomas
  • Rusty, Sir Handel and Duke in Gallant Old Engine
