Both mikedaws and yeahright reported that the eyeballs seem to depend on region, and one (different?) person left feedback on my site asking for a no-eyeballs variant. That's enough for me, at least for now (I haven't seen either: I just report on what other people have found).

Oh, mikedaws I added that original picture of yours into my Variants section, and roberte I used your picture of Shazaam!'s 'Arry vs. Bert. I have been assuming that anything posted on this board is fair game for me to use, but please let me know if you don't want me using your pictures and I'll remove them right away.

P.S. as mikedaws has shared, there are different names on the bottom for eyeballs ("52BM Thomas") vs. no-eyeballs ("BTM Thomas"). That, along with the region differences, is what makes me guess it's a legit variant as opposed to a factory error.

Drewbenn,

Absolutely you can use the picture. Would you like me to add a better one and one that shows the names on the bottom?

Looks like 2017 wave 4 has been released in the U.S. Happy shopping!

Anybody know what new ones are left for 2017/4 ??
It's been known for some time on here: http://www.fisher-price.com/ja_JP/thomasmini/index.html

You need to click the fourth tab to see them.

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with what's there, it shows the difference well enough; if you're not and want to take a better picture, that's fine Smile. The bottom matters but I'm not sure it's worth extending the picture. If you post one, I'll probably get around to adding it eventually.

It turns out my 2 Chillin Skarloeys have different smokestacks (it's a good thing I went out to get a 2nd copy of my favorite mini!), so I'll try to take a picture of that variant later this week.

I found that I did have both versions of the classic Skarloey with the different smokestacks if you want a picture of that as well Smile

Yes please! I think the classic will show the difference much better than the clear plastic will.
Is it these:

Or is there another variation?

Perfect! I forgot there were already pictures! I will use those, thank you!

I had a few extra Chillin Skarloeys but unfortunately they were all the same.
Finally saw one brave TRUS carry the Super Station in stock, they had 3 on shelf.
Surprised to see the exclusive James was not really special. It also did not say anything about Exclusive Engine on the box, is it possible we will see this James in blind packs?
