Exactly! Personally think that's dumb. It's the same way for ordering blind bags. I tried to request specific numbers and was told that would not be possible. How is that serving the customers needs?

finally found Wave 2/2016! Target, Clifton, NJ.. They actually have the new 3 packs too.. Which of course are mostly repeats.. I noticed also that the 3 pack prices went up.. It used to be cheaper to buy the 3 packs @$3.99.. Now its $4.49 at target and 4.99 at TRU..

Target and TRU have slightly higher prices than Walmart. But Walmart has not had the 2016 blind bags. They do have the new DC 4 pack (only some right now) which includes Salty as Aquaman. This is the only new train other three are repeats. But packing this way serves two purposes. FP still makes money of older collectors and new collectors can get some of the harder to find 2015 trains.

the new DC 4 pack with aquaman for me has only been seen at WalMart, and at that it was only 1 pack and it was by chance.

Hello everyone - I'm brand spankin' new. Collecting Thomas minis ... I'm reading that you all haven't found all the DC comics ones yet. Those are what I need next. The 4 packs... I have them all before that with exception to spencer launcher. I found wave 2 at target last week (Michigan).

So far of the 7 Walmarts I used for sourcing products only one had the new Aquaman 4 pack. I bought up a bunch to resale. $10 plus 2.54 shipping. I have 3 left.
I know people in several states and for some reason these have not shown up there. But I do know they just hit the Asada stores in UK, not sure of individual stores but confirmed reports from my sources. Here all the DC ones are avaiable.

You got the addiction! If you need help with DC trains right now my Walmarts have plenty, I can help you get them.

Thank you!!

It's been exactly six months since I uploaded my checklist page. I never would have started it if it wasn't for all the information shared by everyone here, and the community you've all created. When I made it I thought it would be a success if 3 or 4 other people used it: so I've had an absolutely amazing time watching it grow over the last 6 months and be visited by thousands of people.

Once again, thank you all so much!
