no worries. one of these days, i will get there. if you make it, please share photos!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundhouse_Park

glad you found the james. i am puzzled as to why on earth he is pink?

Reivax

There’s a book I read to my kids where James is painted pink briefly (like a primer or something) before getting a new red coat of paint. But he has to pick up some kids for a birthday party last minute while he is still pink and he’s embarrassed to be seen pink. But he ends up liking it because it’s a little girl’s party who lets James knows it’s her favourite colour. Or something like that. I’m certain it’s an episode of the show.

The “new look” trains I believe follow that sort of theme. Which they’ve done in the past with the chocolate Percy and wet yellow victor covered in algae and stuff. I like the lines of minis where they reference the show.

sunhuntin

ahhh, thanks for that. i dont follow the stories so much, but that makes sense. 🙂

this years advent calendar is on amazon for order, but not able to be shipped yet.

i need to work out who is new and who isnt, as $89 for only a few minis is too much!

Looks like Canada is getting bag releases while US is stuck with almost no Stock and on rare occasion still boxed releases with no numbering.
The re-release changes look nice but I think they are too subtle to be variant, but still cool.

I’ve found wave 24 in bags. Minis tend to be hidden in small conspicuous sections these days….

sunhuntin

my advent calendar just arrived, 5 days early. for what i think is the first time, the doors are not in numerical order. as such, i have edited that section pablo's sheet and put them in the order the calendar says.

i dont have the bulk of my collection here, so cannot say if the other repeats have changes or not, except for thomas and percy having rivets, and salty maybe having had grab rails added.

spotted these online... has anyone seen them before? seller has 9 different ones, with the backs appearing to depict waves 1 and 2 from wayyyyyy back when.
seller gives no information on where they are from, size, material etc.

are those... mousepads?

i have no clue. i think they might be cards, so about the size of a credit card, but no way to be sure. the auctions close in a few hours, so depending on how one very important one goes, i will throw bids at these as well, just out of curiousity!

i found another seller that has 4 in the same lot, so will try for those.

these are the ones i have found so far

These might be header cards from Japanese vending machines that sold minis.

sunhuntin

thats a good point, mike. good idea!!

jdogman

Do we know any of the names of the Series 24 MINIS?

sunhuntin

Hi Drew,
I wanted to check if you have any idea about how much has been released since your last update to your list at the end of 2020?

drewbenn

I don't know... it seems like multi-packs have fallen out of favor, so I assume just 4 waves and an Advent Calendar, but I haven't been following closely enough to know for sure. During an episode of Prodigy I saw a TV ad for a big playset (with the great feature that it can easily be picked up and carried away with one hand!) that looked like it might have come with some minis and mini tracks.

If someone else wrote up a list of the 2021 releases I could probably be talked into adding new sections to my site.

sunhuntin

everything i have acquired this year i added to pablo's spreadsheet. i dont have series 24, but found a list of names so added that on. pretty sure i am up to do date other than that.

i can provide photos of everything except series 24 if needed.
