Job Lot of Thomas Mini's

Hi Super,

Yeah I used to collect them quite religiously until 2017 (I think) when they removed the weights from them, originally they were weighted so they felt like diecasts, but you know FP, if they can save a few cents per model they'll do it. Combine that with the price increase that came along around the same time and all of a sudden they didn't seem value for money to me.

But recently a store chain called 'Poundland' in the UK was stocking 2018 series 2 & 3 blind bags (at a £ a pop instead of £3) so I bought a bunch. Having completed those sets I've been picking up the odd job lot off eBay to try to fill the gaps between 2016 and now - along with some 2019 ones I bought in blind bags at full retail.

Although to be fair I blame 'Sun' as helping fill some gaps in Sun's collection it sorta re-awakened my interest in the first place :p
Happily collecting things all my life... Big Grin
