I've not seen that 40 pack before, but it doesn't sound worth buying if you already have most of the trains. I also bought the gold cargo van yesterday in a 7 pack for $8. That pack also had steelworks James which I still needed. I'm not sure if the gold cargo is available in any other pack, but $8 is a much cheaper alternative to obtain it.

Also found this keychain link on Walmart(US) website. I apologize if it has already been discussed. My daughter is getting over her Minis phase so I am out of the loop?

They haven't been discussed on this forum yet Smile

I'm pretty sure there are just 4 trains in the set. Thomas, Percy, James & Hiro. I picked one up last week. They're pretty cool. Might be worth while to track down the other ones I don't have. Great thing to pick up to have in your collection. No new trains but fun nevertheless Smile

Thanks for posting the link!

The gold cargo car can be found in the 4th 7 pack released in 2017. I've seen them at Walmart Canada.

If anyone is looking to overpay for the new Boost N' Blast playset...it's currently listed on Amazon for $67.38...don't pay this price. It's going to be available for under $25 soon enough.

Is Shane a “returning favorite”? Or is this a typo? Why isn’t there an *asterisk by the Tootsie’s?

Shane is new. Tootsies are returning. But they were originally exclusive to North American Bilnd Bags. They may now be available world wide with the 2018/1 release. Haven't seen any reports of the 2018 wave in Europe or elsewhere as of yet.
