Got this at Toys R Us yesterday. Now I have both 2014 Bill and Ben!

Is that the same type of launcher that the Mini's are going to use?

Not sure, but a bit of a size difference, though...

The MINIS ones are close in relation, but these Take-n-Play ones can connect to each other and form a pretend engine sheds.

Oh, I also recently got Phillip at a local Wal-Mart, though I haven't yet got around to getting pictures of him.

Also, at Wal-Mart, I saw the strangest thing... The packaging was for "Caitlin's Passenger Express" but it had Donald/Douglas(the decals were all missing), with Hiro's tender(decals missing on one side, faded on the other), and a open truck! Huh

Did you buy it? Big Grin

probably a sneaky return by a customer and put back out for sale by the store, it happens

ive heard the same in the cabbage patch world. dolls from the early 00s returned, but the doll was replaced with an 80s one. still a cabbage patch kid, but not the right one.

That is quite a strange find. As Ucwepn assumed, it could be a return that went all wrong. I once remember seeing a Talking Thomas in a Talking Salty box.
