It's never gonna be better than the first 3 2016 waves in terms of ease of collecting. I'm looking forward to the new minis for 2017, especially the classics. I do wish they would double down on the selection of classics though.

Totally agree about getting more of the classic trains Smile

Wiki lists few trains (and other vehicles) like Bertie on the website, were these prototypes.

I've never seen Bertie as part of any package before, or Duck, Clarabel,

When you guys say Classics, do you want them to re-release the classics that you missed, or to release more of the classic trains that weren't released before?

I actually want them to start releasing tracks. At NY Toy Fair two years ago they had these minis on white tracks on shelves. It would be amazing if they can turn the Minis into track supported trains and we can use those to run them around the house like Hot Wheels... Ooooops I take that back, honestly last thing I'd want to see Fisher Price turn Minis into Hot Wheels' like bottomless pit of trains.. Imagine that.. You know what, don't.. I hope they don't do that.

Looks like U.K. Is getting a ton of new minis two of the new DC 9 packs were found at asda


RE: thomas and friends mini series - Ksthomas209 - 10-14-2016

Walmart.com has the 30 pack, the new Advent Calendar, the new case that holds 50 minis and the spencer launcher. Found them on the Walmart App. Wish they came out with the bigger case in the beginning. The boys are going to like those better than the bead boxes!


RE: thomas and friends mini series - YALLLOW - 10-14-2016

The Bertie bus looks sooooo cute!!! Would love to see that, Harold, more troublesome trucks - skiff

Wasn't Spencer launcher with Racers Spencer available at TRUS & Amazon for a while? Or is this something else?

In reference to the 50-mini case, while it looks really good, I like the see-through nature of the bead cases, plus at $4 when on Sale, for storing 30 of them, it's a great deal. I just picked up 6 more of them at Joann's and they also have smaller 20-slot cases for $2.50 if we want to store those special collections without mixing them with others.

Do we know what is included with the new advent calendar, it doesn't say 2016 on the box, which is listed as a different item.
