And the 50-pack is just 24.97 at walmart.ca. Too bad I got mine in-store few weeks back Sad


RE: thomas and friends mini series - sunhuntin - 01-20-2016

the 3 launchers have been found at farmers stores in new zealand. $15NZD each. my local store only had 4 in total, so i bought them all, since it was buy one, get one half price. the extra thomas will go to a friends son for his birthday.

no clear photos yet as i havent had time, but will post some later tonight.


RE: thomas and friends mini series - sunhuntin - 01-20-2016

photos, as promised.
theres a pair of "jaws" inside that clips onto the rear coupler. they seem to fair fly when the button is pressed. the ramp/door clips properly shut, meaning if the button is activated while hanging from the supplied clip, nothing is going to get lost.
one touch i liked was the jaws inside being the same color as the engine it belongs to. they could easily have used black or a neutral color across them all.

the engines have either steam clouds or sparks. pleased they arent just repeats and that fisher-price have gone that extra step.

Great buys Sunhuntin. I thought the Launchers were just in the colour scheme but I really like how they actually take on the shape of the engines. It shouldn't be long before they turn up in Australia, and now I'm keen to get them.

May I please use three of the Diesel 10 Launcher images on the wiki before official pictures come?


RE: thomas and friends mini series - sunhuntin - 01-20-2016

flick me a pm with which 3, jdog. Smile

edit: have uploaded a new photo i took of d10 that better shows his detailing. http://ttte.wikia.com/wiki/File:D10cutt.jpg

and this one showing the launcher too. i love they included pinchy! http://ttte.wikia.com/wiki/File:P1020455.JPG

Thomas, Percy and Diesel 10 Launchers are available to ship on Amazon in the US. The seller isn't Amazon itself and I refuse to pay 17.99 plus shipping each. That's a rip-off.

A heads up to all the Ontario collectors: I was in my local Walmart this evening and saw that they had put up some papers showing what products are going to be on the shelves in the near future. Naturally, I checked it out. It shows that they'll be stocking the DC 4 and 9 packs as well as the launchers. No ETA though.


RE: thomas and friends mini series - exile90 - 01-29-2016

SquareOne WM in Mississauga, ONT has the launchers already. Just saw one of each but at least they're starting to come.

I saw the new modular setups at our WM today too. The deadlines for the setup for those papers you've seen is the 1st of the next month (I know I've been busy in our department trying to work on them). There is no guarantee the product will be there on that date but having the product listed means it's on order for the store.
