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!

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 Smile

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.

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!
