Loving this thread! It has been a great resource fire duplicate prevention. My son is 2 and (obviously) loves Thomas. I have come to realize that I would have been a train lover as a kid if I was exposed!!

We are in Florida, so can only buy the minis online and in Walmart. I despise Walmart, so we are at 35 trains in 3 trips.... I also have 2 coming from ebay, but am already regretting not waiting, since a poster reported seeing wave 2 in a US Walmart!

Hello JettsMom

Welcome to BluePlasticTracks 🙂

JettsMom

Where did you get wave 2???? I'm ready!

Can you tell us what number corresponds to which engine? Would like to know what lies ahead! Just picked up all of wave 2 in the US.

That was an epic fail on my part.... I was attempting to reply to someone's post and it did not work out for me!

Checked one of the 5 local WMs yesterday, no wave 2 yet, but they were low on stock. Maybe they'll be restocked soon, and hopefully with wave 2.

I guess I'll try to rotate between stores until they show up. 1 of the 5 I don't go in to from March until September, I hope I'm not missing out, but I don't think I can deal with all the tourists.

If it helps the missing ones are;

H12A/20 - Percy (Classic)
H12A/21 - James (Dino)
H12A/31 - Charlie (Robot)

At least that's what I got in my packs 🙂

and H12A/28 - Bash (Neon)

Nearly missed that one lol!

Just joined after lurking for months. I have been checking 4 walmarts for months waiting for wave 2. Most walmarts have been restocking wave 1 but last night I found wave 2 at the walmart that is considered to have the highest volume. There appeared to be 2 of each train. Most of wave 1 was sold out so this may be why wave 2 was found at this walmart only.

I also noticed the playwheels have been rolled back to 9.97 on the website but still ring up as 12.97 in store.

I referenced the postings to get all of wave 2 except Millie (missing from box). There was also a new shipment of 8-packs in a shipping container but it was the same wave 1 8-packs.

1 interesting thing I noticed is some of the walmarts now have a collectible display that has blind bags only and this contained some new wave 1 thomas blind bags and new display boxes that are not bolted down.

I took some pictures of a shipping container in case anyone wanted to see what they look like. Sometimes I have to pull these of the pallets because the employees don't finish stocking until 4am.

I guess images did not work. I will try to figure that out.

Now I'm off to check my Walmart! Fingers Crossed!!!

I scored everything but 36(dino Gator) and 37(Classic Samson)

JettsMom

I've checked 2 of our 5 local Walmarts over the last 2 days, but nothing new yet. They were both low in stock, so I guess I'll keep checking!

I went again today to try to Find my two missing minis and I have found that not only do they have blind bags in the Thomas isle but they also have them in another end cap area where they had several different types of blind bags all together. In our 2nd store I found just wave 1 in the Thomas area but found 2 whole boxes of only wave 2 on an end cap full of blind bags. If you go again I would just scan all the isles and end caps.

Hi all,

New to the forum! Many people from the UK here?

Me and my little one are collecting the Thomas minis. We have 52 so far! Had to have ones shipped from America and Australia to stay up to date!

Will post a pic later, also just bought the SDCC box set!

sunhuntin

<Waves> I'm from the UK too, my main interests are the PlaRail (i.e. non-Thomas) and PlaRail Advance - although I do have Thomas items and some of the mini's too 😃

Welcome, nice bunch live here 🙂

Just wanted to inform that Mattel's San Diego Comic-Con afterparty is starting on Monday if you want what might be the best price possible since for Super Friends MINIS all those eBay sellers are almost doubling the price.

thanks for that, j. have two sets and two badges coming thanks to geri, but may grab a set from matty as well. wonder if they would resell ok over here? might get a couple and try them, depending on whether they sell out before i get online or not.

any idea how many to a case? it says max of 3, but that doesnt mean thats the case amount.

Here is a list I have compiled of all of the minis and their corresponding number as far as the blind bags are concerned. The checks are the minis that I have, 1 check for a single and 2 checks for any doubles. I also listed the blister 3 & 8 packs and their contents. If anyone sees any errors in my list or has any more to add please let me know. Hope this is helpful to everyone. I'm new to the group, so hello to all.

Hello from the UK!!
We are collecting these great mini trains for my 2.5yr old son who is obsessed with them. We are enjoying finding all the different trains. Could you perhaps clarify a couple of things?
Could I get the whole set by just buying blind bags or do we have to get the 3/8 packs?
Also on the list above (which is so helpful, Thanks) what are the 10 trains at the bottom of the blind bag list before the 3/8 packs list - Including Classic Gorden / Classic Spencer. How do I get those??
Thank You

You can get the whole set just by buying the blind bags. Although some are in the 3&8 packs that haven't been released in the blind bags but they are coming.

cou10gar

The 10 at the bottom are minis that I have but I do not have a number for the blind bags yet. The blind bags have only been released through #27 in the U.S., so the only way to get some of the higher numbers right now is to buy the 3 or 8 packs. They will all be available in the blind bags eventually I assume. The Golden Thomas can only be obtained by buying the vollector's Playwheel.
