thomas and friends mini series

I really wasn't planning to collect the figures, since they are not really "thomas minis" and not related to any episodes or feature length movies (as far as I know), so I thought I don't have to collect them... But, now that you added them to your page, I guess I have no choice but to start buying those. Although $8+tax is kind of steep for what they are, maybe I can trade some of my engines with the cargo creatures if anyone is looking for old engines/variations/etc.

Well I really went back and forth on adding those. Seeing Sir Topham Hatt re-issued in the Fizz 'N Go Mega Pack is what pushed me over the edge to include them. I can always remove them if it's a problem for collectors ....

I agree, $8 _is_ a lot, I really wasn't sure I wanted to get that. But it was fun to get it one time and treat it like a bath bomb rather than a toy to collect. One's enough for me, though, I'm not planning on getting more.

This is something to think about...it says it comes with 3 extra packs. So might be a way to get the other animals. Unless these have different animals in them 

I'm definitely curious if the extra packs will be random or not. If they are, that pack would be the best way to start collecting the figures (especially since that's probably the only way to get the Fizz 'N Go James) then fill up the rest of the figures with the individual packs.

PS: I saw you added 5 x 3 packs, I thought there were going to be 8 of them this year.

jdogman has the other 3, as well as 2 more 7-packs and some other themed multi-packs, listed on his wikia ( https://thomasminis.fandom.com/wiki/2019 ). I'll add them and the Fizz 'N Go Mega Pack as they become available in stores.
