Looks like there will many new Minis in 2021!

sunhuntin

oooo, liking the look of the new james and percy! following the taobao link shows them as being light ups.

makes me wish i knew how to buy from that site [and trusted it enough to do so...]

Finally found a box of 2020 series 2. Fresh unopened box and grabbed some of them including the diamond Thomas. Just my luck the first ever train I’ve ever opened out of the bag that’s damaged. I don’t even know how that’s possible. Cool train otherwise. 😛

sunhuntin

ugh, that sucks! what a shame. hopefully you can find another box.

Series 23 MINIS. Time to find some names.

Bought the rest of the series 22 box I saw the other day. There were 43 total from the box. And for some reason there was one double. Anniversary James. Mike, that’s the one you said you needed, so I’d for whatever reason you struggle to find it, I have an extra. So just need 6 more from the series. And recounted my series 21 trains and realized I do have them all. I thought I was missing one.

Noticed a small error on the checklist, Drew. The 3 little pigs wolf is diesel and not diesel 10.

Looks like we’re in it for another year I guess with series 23.

Thanks so much! I actually had the anniversary James and didn’t realize it. Sunhuntin pointed out that he came with the advent calendar...which I had. I really do need to get organized!

Reivax

Oh, man. I really made a mistake by not grabbing an advent calendar when it was available on Canadian amazon. I gambled and hoped it would remain post-Christmas and get it for a discount. I just ordered it from America amazon. The price wasn’t too bad considering.

Think all I need now that I haven’t put on hold or ordered is that final fizz n go Thomas and 5 trains from series 22. Not sure how to get that final fizz Thomas. 😛

someone on facebook found a case of the new 2021 minis at target usa. they were in the trucks, and are labelled as "series 3".

mattel really needs to sort out their series numbering and go back to the old style.

rekp

if that's the case it explains why there were only 24 listed on the new sheets as that's how many trucks per carton

sunhuntin

quite likely. they got doubles of everything except metallic percy, which was only one, and a third of the james with jelly or whatever on him.

sunhuntin

would this class as an error, and if so, is it worth grabbing? spotted on a local auction side.

thanks

minis have officially been sighted in new zealand, at long last! a fellow collector 5 hours away messaged me and said she had found a part box. i immediately made contact with a friend of my partners asking him to check his branch, where he found a full box. it will be on its way to me tomorrow.

just need a list of the newest releases to update my "wallet list" and we are good to go again.

Reivax

Wasn’t expecting to see this in the store. There were 21 of the 24 new ones in here.

sunhuntin

nice!! metallic percy?

where abouts are you, reivax?

Reivax

I’m in Ontario Canada. It was in an old rundown Walmart I almost forget exists. Figured I’d try and find the last train I need in series 22 and found them.

I did get the metallic percy luckily. Just missing 2 slimes and the bill/Ben cat.

And the numbers on the front of the bag. I think I kept track properly. I can take picture of any of you want to see up close. I don’t dig the animals and stuff, but the camping, breakfast and slime ones have some cool trains.

(Sun I answered your original question on the previous page)

sunhuntin

nice one! did you buy the whole box?

i wonder how long until we see it down under. i am tempted to get hold of some friends there and get them to go hunting for me. they are mostly central ONT.

That’s great to hear! I haven’t seen them in Vancouver area yet but I’ll keep my eyes open for them! Thanks for letting us know!!

Reivax

Sun, I didn’t quite buy the whole box. There was a small handful left. It seems like there’s at least 2 of each in a full proper box, but I did take home the box with me since I bought so many.

Good luck, mike. It’s certainly promising. I have somewhere around 10 walmarts and 4 toys r us that are fairly accessible to me and I’ve had random lunch at least once in each of them. There never seems to be any rhyme or reason why one store has the new stuff and the one down the road has 2019 boxes still. It’s always random.

sunhuntin

sweet. i always try and grab the boxes, and also the outer shipping box if its there.

we are getting an advent calendar again this year.
