When I saw the Spencer launcher on Walmart.com it gave me a description for a Flaming James Launcher. To be honest I thought it was wrong!! That is soooo cool!!

Wow, that is cool! Did you get the product code, by any chance?

That's my friend who came across it while on the hunt for 2017/1. I don't remember reading anything about new launchers for the upcoming year, did I miss the memo?

Got my new 4 packs from Malaysia today, so excited!

This was the first I'd heard about it, too. Somewhere, some Fisher Price folks are celebrating tonight that they got a product out without any information about it leaking out first! Big Grin

Got to an unopened box and had lots of strange looks from people as I looked at my list and searched through the whole thing!! Stocking stuffers! On a different note also found Hot Wheels Minecraft Minecarts. Very happy and they were MUCH cheaper than eBay. Happy hunting everyone!!

Finally! Some 2017/1 in my area, Sacramento. Box was pretty picked over but I have got a start and managed to get two of the Tootsie's for this wave.

Agree, let's be creative and make a distinction please!

And Annie should be facing forward, Clarabel towards rear.
It wouldn't matter with actual coaches since they can be mounted on either direction, but with directional minis, I hope they pay attention to that detail, although I doubt it.

As for the same face, if I recall correctly, two different variations of wooden railway coaches had same faces:

As well as new generation Take & Play

Interestingly the older generation (bidirectional magnet) had different faces.
