Welcome Debbie_lee88! I agree the list in this thread is great and was absolutely essential in my collecting of the second wave blind bags so I could just get the ones I wanted 🙂 I love the hunt as well!

sunhuntin

welcome, debbie! glad to know these little lumps of plastic have helped renew your love of collecting. i hear you on reducing double ups. im quite lucky in that i have a young friend who i can pass any doubles along to.
when i bought wave 2, the site i bought from had them all listed by name, so i bought around the blister packs i had got first. i will do the same with wave 3, assuming ive got the 3 new 3packs. there are some i like to get 2 or 3 of, like the metallics.

i found this mentioned on the thomas minis wiki: Twist-n-Turn Stunt Set. google brings no results. by s43, are you thinking of the san diego comic con minis/dc engines, as seen at the bottom of this page: http://ttte.wikia.com/wiki/Minis#comm-206047

Ahh yes, that must be it! I thought it said Twisting Plank (or something like that) Stunt Set.

The S43 is just what it looks like to my eyes on the picture that shows the new Warriors series.

your eyes must be better than mine, lol. all i can see is mini-shaped blurs. 😃

Sunhuntin - are wave 2 blister packs out in your neck of the woods? I think I read somewhere that they would be coming out in the fall in US/Canada.

I am collecting for my son, so will be opening all of them for him to play with. I may buy some duplicates of his favourites (he's gone through the picture checklist that comes with the blind bag and is eyeing heroes thomas, or what he calls "thomas glasses" :p), esp if he misplaces them. These guys are so small I've already had to rummage through the house when he lost one!!

debbie, we dont get the blisters down here in new zealand. the ones ive bought, i got from ebay.

the heroes range is really good looking. they are all nicely detailed, but for some reason i like the robos best

Debbie_lee88

Sunhuntin - I kinda wish we didn't have the blister packs. That way I can buy all the blind bags in one go.
I much prefer the "classic" look of the classic and metallic trains, though I agree that the detailing on these toys is quite remarkable considering how small they are.

I zoomed in a bit... it might say something completely different though!

Super

I actually had no idea of how popular these would become but by the looks of the length of this thread "VERY" popular. I am curious as to the safety of these very small trains and infants. Wouldn't there be a danger of small parts coming loose?

oliver's dad... these links came up on facebook. looking forward to the christmas ones. will likely try and get several sets of those. the warrior ones dont seem to fit the family friendly view of thomas, but time will tell.

super, i havent heard of any issues with these coming apart. they seem very well made, and i recall one reviewer doing his best to pull a wheel off and failing. other than that, you need a screwdriver to remove the axles

http://ttte.wikia.com/wiki/Minis shows pictures of all the new advent, warriors, etc.
It even shows the picture of the exclusive percy that comes with the Twist-n-Turn Stunt Set! (I'm really curious what the SET looks like)

Just so you guys know, 2nd wave is available now at WalMart in Canada. Our store received the new shipment yesterday.

sunhuntin

found a site which says the sdcc dc minis will retail at $30USD. heres hoping theres some left for sale on matty. no way am i paying $70+ per set on ebay.

sunhuntin

i will just leave this here....

daftande

The video of the box was so cool, love how it also lights up!!
Also they said all of the SDCC minis except dark knight diesel batman (it will be a classic batman?) will be at walmart later this year. Just not with that rad box.

If anyone is interested I found wave 2 blind bags in the UK 🙂

I went back to Sainsburys to get some more of the wave 1 blind bags I found last week only to find bags with numbers up to 36 on them. So I bought as many different numbers as I could find in the display.

I now have most of wave 2, although still only a few of wave 1 - guess I'll have to hunt round some more stores 🙂

2 new 8packs are out in Canada

jdogman

First releases of James, Mono Salty, Luke, Special Percy, Robot Millie, Winter Gordon, and Racing Spencer.

Do you know what the item numbers are?

Anyone find Wave 2 in the US? My store just restocked wave 1 :dodgy:

Hopefully they still have them when I'm back at work on Sunday.

We've had 2nd wave in Canadian Wal-Marts for few weeks so you should be getting them soon. Try another store if possible as the selection varies between them. The one I work for, in centrer of the city, quite often doesn't have the stuff the stores on the outskirts of the city have.
