I feel you, sun. While I’m caught out to 2018, I’ve still got a ways to go to catch up with ‘19. I think last time I was fully caught up was in the 2017 trains.

thanks, mike. the iron man and hulk are interesting, but i am really relieved its not the start of another mash-up.

Very interesting that this showed up in Best Buy of all the places.
Looks like they are clearing them out at clearance price $0.49/each. I had no idea they sold them until now. One more place to check for blinds now.

HI All
Just found a 2019/4 Box in New Zealand.
Below is what came out of the packs I could find.

286 - Yong Bao
379 - Christmas Percy
384 - Kevin
385 - Rainbow Emily
387 - Sushi Troublesome Truck
395 - Cockroach Bert
389 - Booger Ben
403 - Parrot Millie
406 - Spooky Porter
408 - Spooky D10

Unfortunately it looks like some had already been taken so I will look around for more boxes soon.
I tried not to look at the low numbers so can't update on which ones they are.
We just skipped 2019/3 for some reason.

Hope this helps someone.


RE: thomas and friends mini series - sunhuntin - 07-27-2019

thats interesting, AO. what store was that at? once again we have missed a wave, which means more expense to bring them in. shall keep an eye out up this way.

i have patchwork hiro for you too, so shall get them sent in the next few days.

For those of you that may be interested. Here’s the link to the Thomas and Friends Collectors Poster for 2019

RE: thomas and friends mini series - drewbenn - 08-01-2019

I've gotten way behind on updating my page, but I'm working on it now. I've come up with a few questions as I'm working on it:

Does anyone happen to have the 2019 Advent engines [url=https://thomasminis.fandom.com/wiki/Advent_Calendar_(2019)]with the dates they appear[/url]? I like to be able to list them in date order, but it's not critical (I haven't done it in all years).

Here are some more 2019/4 engines from the description of a youtube video:
- 402 scented-2 thomas
- 404 x-ray gator
re-releases:
- 25 spooky thomas
- 60 space gordon
- 127 henry
- 131 belle
- 407 spooky salty

Medieval James and the re-release of Space Bert are on the Collector's Sheet but haven't appeared in any waves yet (at least, not that I've seen here). Has anyone found those?

Pets Cargo Car, Sushi Cargo Car and Holidays Cargo Car are on the Collector's Sheet but haven't appeared in any waves, which is in line with previous years which have had 4 blister pack-only releases. That does imply there should be another Cargo Car coming that isn't listed on the Collector's Sheet. Has anyone seen 7-packs #3 or #4 (which I haven't listed yet)?

Both my interest in and time available to work on my page are flagging. I've been contemplating ceasing updates when the 2020 waves start coming out (the site itself wouldn't go away, just stop getting updates). Watching for blind bag numbers and getting them complete and correct is enough work already, and adding in all the other releases just makes this too much. There are also other ways for minis fans to track their collections or find all this information in one place, which wasn't true when I started my page, so I feel like my page is less useful nowadays. If anyone has any good suggestions (including moving to some other site or format), I'm all ears.

Hi Drew,
I just took a picture, but by the time I came to upload it, I saw you edited your post, but here it is anyway. Smile

Nothing is as detailed and organized as yours, unless I am missing something.  
If you stop updating the website, I think a lot people might get lost, unless you are considering turning into an open source type where we as a community can keep it up to date somehow?  
When anything gets released, personally I don't open the packs until you add them to your list.
