Attn Canadian Minis Collectors. I just found 2018 7 pack #’s 1 & 2, as well as the DC 9-pack reissue and the SpongeBob 9 pack reissue at Walmart in Vancouver, BC. No sign of the 3 packs or the Blind Bags. Still it’s a good sign to be seeing 2018 product as there was minimal 2017 product.

Just something interesting to note. In the 2018 7-Packs. All the trains except for the “Classic” models no longer have names printed on the bottom. Names have been replaced with numbers or lot/manufacturing codes. I’m not sure if this is the same with the 3-Packs and Blind bags as I haven’t seen them yet.

Some of you may have already seen this but toysrus.com and amazon.com have a Thomas & Friends micro vehicle mega mat for sale that comes with 2 minis. No new minis just reissues of Thomas and Percy at toysrus and Gordon and James on Amazon. Worth checking out if you’re looking for something for your collection or a fun playing surface for your kids.

Looks like Amazon has taken down the links for those new light-up minis...

This is what the items say in my cart for Amazon. They will be released in April.

An ad in Japan has shown the full 2018 blind bag line-up. You can see Victor, Emily, and Hiro twice on it.

Keep in mind that Pencil Troublesome Truck, Pop Art Cargo Car, and Neon Splatter Cargo Car are exclusives to the three 7-Packs. The Thomas as a globe is not there either. Perhaps that is exclusive to a 20 or 30 pack and it got used by mistake. Who knows.

mikedaws

Thanks for the picture! Looks like we’ll have most of the 2015 classics reissued. Guessing we’ll see the other 2015 themes over the next few years too. Fingers crossed we see more at the New York Toy fair at the end of this week.

Good luck, I hope they stay in cart because last time we had a similar item, they suddenly disappeared or never shipped.

Is anyone seeing the Dynamic Thomas set on sale anywhere? I am still hunting for that.

I've been seeing the boost n blast set on toys r us sites (canada and usa) for a little while now. It looks like its only available in store and not for shipping yet. Although when I check nearby stores they aren't in stock yet. It at least gives me the impression it should be available soon.

On a side note, is there any American collectors out there willing to find me the 30 pack with the 3 Slimes. I'm willing to pay for the set and I would only need the 3 trains sent to me, you can keep the rest. Any way to save on shipping as I live in Canada. It looks to be on sale on walmart.com for 27.82. As far as I know it never came out in Canada.

mikedaws

The boost n blast, the 7 packs and the 9 pack re-issues have been showing up at Walmart here in Vancouver area. I’ve seen tags for the new 4 packs and blind bags but no product yet. Will update when I see something. Fingers crossed as we never received 2017 wave 3 or 4.

Pablo392

Boost and blast showed up on amazon, but at $30 I am not sure I want to buy it just yet for 1 engine.
Has anyone spotted anything out of Unnumbered 2018 series? They seem to be coming out in 3-Packs mostly, but seeing that all local stores still have 3 packs from 2016 on shelves, I seriously doubt we will see these anytime soon. Generally 3 and 7 packs go to Canada and Asia first, while blind bags get released in US first.

Also, if anyone managed to get 2018/1 - 232 Fantasy Rosie, the wheels and plastic trim looks a bit different than the picture. The plastic area has lots of sparkles, and it's one of the best looking engines. I am planning pick up a few and give it to my nieces.

mikedaws

I just picked up the 2018 3 packs here in western Canada. Found them at Walmart. Still no sign of the blind bags but it’s so great to actually find new product!!!! Happy hunting.

mikedaws

Looks like 2018 wave 2 is hitting stores in the US...

Orangepill

Wave 1 and 2 are out. Special Edition Thomas is def on my list!

HiMyNameIsNick

My Walmart just put up a big box of Blind Bags without any sort of dates. It has a list of the Minis including a few Metallics. Just wondering what they might be. No year or Wave number anywhere.

mikedaws

If it has metallics. It’s from 2015. The first year the minis were released.

HiMyNameIsNick

Wow It's a big Hanging box usually they are just on the shelve in a small box. I should have taken a picture and gotten a few but they were literally following me because it was past closing. I'm going back. Isn't that rare to find? It was so many trains on the box it would seem to be All 4 Waves.

Pablo392

It is one of the earliest boxes, possibly when Minis were WM-Exclusive, I took a picture of that a while ago, must be more than a year ago in this thread somewhere.
