Does anyone know if the advent calendar for 2016 have the same holiday trains as last year?

Everyone I've heard so far seems to think they're the same (but with a different lineup for the other 18 engines... see http://ttte.wikia.com/wiki/Minis and search for 'Christmas Advent Calendar' under a 2016 bullet point for one take on it), but as far as I know all anyone has to go off of is a promotional picture or two of the box. It's not available yet so I'm not making any assumptions about it until people start buying it and opening it up to see what's inside.

Found it on fisher price website, just wondering if I should order

if you have last years, i wouldnt bother. the christmas ones are the same from what i can tell, and the rest can be easily bought in blind bags or multi packs. the only really new thing is the box design.

personally, im not going to bother, but if i can find someone selling the box and tray on ebay for not too much, then i may get them. but the rest would merely be more duplicates.

So what we should do it wait for them to go on clearance ?

its up to you. i dont know how the american clearance system works. over here, licensed advent calendars never get reduced.

I got a 2nd box for 7 after Christmas. Could not pass it up.

can anyone post the list for 2016 wave 4?

i used this one, and it was correct for the ones i bought. there are 7 new releases in this wave. the numbers are the same as in previous waves, so double check that it says 2016/4 on the front.
