1. TnA (all of them... But probably D10)
2. Lost and Found HIRO
3. D51-498/D51-200 Steam and Sound
4. 50 phrase (again all of them, but probably HIRO)
5. Oliver

I do love the Disney sets now, despite initially thinking they were "cheesy" but now really like the different ones like Minnie Sweets, Musical Parade, etc..

I am thinking I will love the 65th Anniversery Thomas, should be arriving soon.
