2017-1 has finally hit Walmart on the westcoast of Canada. Also found the James Launcher and the Glow-in-the-dark 5 pack. One thing I noticed is that the 5 pack seems lighter now. Thinking the trains may no longer have weights in them. Happy Shopping Smile


RE: thomas and friends mini series - Reivax - 02-08-2017

That's good to hear. I feared the glow-in-the-dark set would only be available online and possibly in short supply, so I made sure to immediately order 3 for myself and a couple family members who also collect minis.

The launcher James is a really cool train, too.

Also included is the organizing and sorting of my Mini collection for the moving guys who are coming on Friday! My husband says I'm obsessed!


How did you get the advent calendar? I thought they stopped selling those.

I think you are local to me if you want to meet up to pick it up. Shipping with Canada post ain't worth it. As for DC packs most toys r us has the older ones. Walmart tends to get them first and I know they are updating their toy section.

Also saw a post that the power rangers 4 pack and 3rd DC 4 pack was spotted at Big-W in Australia


Non of my local stores had the new 3 packs, so I had WM order with ship-to-store, I have to drive about 45 minutes to pick it up, hopefully I can grab them soon before they cancel my order (they don't give you a whole lot of time).

I also ordered the DC friends from Amazon, should be here by Friday but we are expecting a snow storm, so it might get delayed.

Received my third pack from Amazon with Aquatic Percy, Shark Tank, Construction D-10, etc. The quality seems so poor... like it was printed on and it's streaky.

It really is a shame how much the quality has diminished. The paint is just not as crisp and the lack of weights really makes the minis feel cheap. Picking up a blind bag and feeling like there's now nothing inside really no longer makes me look forward to getting them. Really hope people have contacted fisher price to complain. I have and I highly recommend fans of this product do the same.

Just grabbed the 9 new releases in 2017/2 from my local Asda, being put away for Easter, but that will bring his count up to a fairly ridiculous 225.....now to find the new DC 9 pack and power rangers Smile

More Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Minis! I'm not sure if this means there will only be a 9-pack made as we have already seen the turtles. Maybe there will be 4 others released.

Here's the Amazon link https://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Minis-Teenage-Mutant-Turtles

Thanks,
If Krang is really that detailed, I will be very happy. The details look amazing on these.
But I am sad to see Splinter is missing from debut set, while they have Bebop and Rock steady, I wonder if they are going to release more, who else is really left? Casey Jones?

Should have made it 10 pack with splinter, still very exciting. Thanks.
