thomas and friends mini series

So I have gone through three sets of wave 3, two from Walmarts and one from AUS. The one from AUS was spot on for the UK list posted on WiKI and Thomas mini Zone however when going through the NA blind bags the numbers did not always match. I also found two rogue trains which don't match either list properly. The rogue trains are #51 on the bag but on the list was #42 which mind you was the number I picked when I purchased my set for myself from Walmart. This is Creature Dash. #51 on NA list was supposed to be Racer Spencer. The second train is #49 it is Sweet Charlie, but on the NA list it is supposed to be #50 yet the bag I have for #50 is a Racing Spencer.
Some more discrepancies are #47 was supposed to be Classic Edward but it is Electrified Hiro, #48 is supposed to be Electrified Hiro but it is Graffiti Victor and again #49 is sweet Charlie not Graffiti Victor.
41,42,43 the beginning of the NA list is supposed to be Breakfast Thomas, Creature Dash, and Bumble Bee James but beware I did find a Creature Dash in a #51 bag that is supposed to be Racer Spencer. I have a bag that is # 50 which should be Sweets Charlie yet is Racer Spencer. Now that I have confused you best to copy my list when you go hunting to check against what you find and hopefully avoid purchasing the wrong trains or getting doubles.

Here is my list against the one posted on Thomas and friends mini zone and on the Wiki pages.

Here is list of trains from AUS that is spot on, so it seems product control has had some problems with trains getting in the wrong bags, mistakes perhaps ?

Just found 2016/3 at Wal-Mart. Brand new box. Wish there was more consistency in the releases. I'm in Wisconsin.

Great, thank you! That matches what had been posted on eBay a while ago and what I've got on my own checklist page. I had never seen confirmation for the other list (what was shown on the wiki): I think someone was just speculating what the order would be and their guesses got picked up by other sites (partly because it was a pretty good guess).

Now, I just need to figure out a better way to explain the regions on my site so I stop confusing people in Europe and Australia Huh

I think these may be missing on your list (they are pictured in the wave 3 collector's list)
Electrified Henry
Graffiti Paxton
Core Moments Victor (Victor is yellow)
Platinum Thomas

Thanks, I added Graffiti Paxton and Electrified Henry to the "Coming soon?" list at the bottom.
I'm assuming those will all be coming in Wave 4, along with:
  • Double Bubble Gordon
  • Iron 'Arry
  • Creature Troublesome Truck
  • Sports Edward
  • Creature Stanley
  • 4 or so DC engines

That would be 8 (9 in North America) "new in 2016" engines, after 11 in Wave 1, 12 (15 in North America) in Wave 2, and 9 (12 in North America) in Wave 3.

And to head off the inevitable questions Big Grin no I have no idea when Wave 4 will be released! But it seemed like it was about 2 months between Waves 1 and 2, and about 4 months between Waves 2 and 3, so I'd guess that Wave 2 just accidentally shipped a little early and Wave 4 will arrive in about 3 months (early- or mid-October).
