thomas and friends mini series

More pics relating to 2020 wave one... bag and leaflet. Possibly 38 new minis for wave one? No more numbers revealed, and i didnt find any during a weekends worth of hunting at stores several hours away from home.

Don't they normally have 2 waves on one sheet? 2019 1/2 or 2018 3/4 etc.
They have done this the last copy of years I think, plus that would mean 18 per wave, which is about the same as the normally do.
Happy to be wrong.

That's what I thought. Normally they show only two waves in the inserts. I think this time they put everything in this insert by mistake.
I think these are all we will see in 2020. If you break them each wave it comes out to about 9 to 11 new engines per wave plus rereleases unless they release many more new ones with each wave this year.

Mike, you are right, cant tell from this picture though. Sun, does Thomas have any markings on that silver one?

Here’s a picture I found



The previous ‘platinum’ Thomas had solid wheels. This one has clear wheels and appears to be a bit shinier. So could be the same or could be silver now.

I dont have them, another kiwi on facebook does and she is only buying a few every couple of days. Will update when i get more info.

More numbers she has posted:
478 - galaxy ashima
490 - 75th percy
508 - farm diesel

Repeats:
113 - bertie
367 - rainbow shane
378 - rainbow belle
386 - rainbow emily
401 - harold

Looks like same body with a different roof over the cab. Wheels may or may not be different, depending on final production. Good catch.

Until we know about what's released in 2020/1, I dumped the engines to a shared spreadsheet, you are welcome to edit and add numbers if you spot them anywhere.

A new series of MINIS for next year will be blindly packaged with TrackMaster cargo cars. Hilarious.

Does anyone know what the individual SKU's are for the 2019 blind bag MINIS?

Will be interesting to see if the track master/minis is just a supplemental way of selling the 75th anniversary minis or the only way to obtain them. I know they are on the insert for the blind bags, but it’s also strange that the insert seems to not list specific waves like how it’s been done in past years. Guess time will tell. Would be nice if we had some information as to what’s being released and when each year. 2019 was brutal with releases. It’s quite the team effort to figure it all out. Thanks to all of you that post the tidbits of information and photos as they roll in.

Edit: just noticed that there are 75th anniversary minis in blind bags based on the numbers that Sun had posted.

More numbers, team...
