very odd find at a distant shop the other day... series 25! the side of the box shows all repeats. there were 20 bags left, so we bought them all. have updated pablo's sheet, but it is not complete sorry. have included the names of the others on the sheet, but have left the numbers off as no clue what they are. photos of the box etc tomorrow.

still no sign of series 24 anywhere...

[font][font]Hello, nice to meet you. I am a researcher at TFMini on Twitter.

I've been watching threads so far, but I've heard some very interesting information so I posted a comment.

Would you please tell me about Series 25 if you like? I'd like to know information about new vehicles, even in words, please!

hello, tf_minis. i have long been a follower of yours... i joined twitter specifically to follow your page.

this is the info i have for series 25 so far. the color for this series is a dark orange, almost brown. all are repeats from old series, and there are no obvious differences between these and the earlier releases.

Thank you for the information!

From the existing information, it seems that the ones produced in China (resale products) have the same number, so some characters can be understood at this point.

It's looking more and more like MINIS is about to come to an end after seven years.

Super

Wow, has it been seven years? Seems like only yesterday this Thread was started and grew to the biggest Thread at BPT's

Seems like it. The selection of product has been reduced to blind bags and the advent calendar. Even with that, there is virtually no presence of the product in toy aisles. It’s more of an afterthought now. Really too bad. The excitement for Minis has stopped as well. This message board was always so fun of exciting information.

found another box of 25 this afternoon, in my home town this time. i bought the remainder of the numbers. the metallic thomas is also a repeat, sadly. will update the remainder on the spreadsheet.

Series 22 is still at my local warehouse for months. Never seen series 23, 24 and 25. Nothing in other warehouse that I rarely visit as from yesterday. I don't collect them but I do look for it. It pretty lacking around here.

Plus the fact that the latest wave is the first to be 100% repeats and does not have any new characters or themes.
I'm sure they'll stop the range and either end it or replace it with something that resembles All Engines Go.

i found series 23 in march last year. saw them once or twice in local shops, then they were gone and only 22 until this most recent find of 25. hopefully 24 shows up at some stage.

It sounds like Sun has all this info already, but if not I’ll mention that the metallic Thomas is bag number 622. I had to search for it just in case it was different.

Although, maybe I’m mistaken, but this metallic Thomas is new, isn’t it? It falls in line with the recent metallic Percy and James with their names written on it. Which are near copies of the first year’s metallic series, but that particular metallic Thomas was gold and not blue.

Closest metallic blue Thomas’ I can think of are the 75th anniversary one that has that almost a camo blue body and the day out with Thomas mini.

well heck, i have been corrected!! thank you, reivax. i best go rescue mine from the for sale pile... lol.

Saw this photo on the tf_minis Twitter page. Looks like it might be a part of a fan club or something (MFC). Keep your eyes out for these this year. Looks like there might be about 20 of them.

sunhuntin

sunhuntin

looks like we are getting another advent calendar this year...

Maybe this will be the only way they produce minis going forward? Haven’t seen any news on any other blind bags or package options…
