thomas and friends mini series

Hey, Pablo. Glad all is safe. It’s a shame you weren’t able to acquire any 2020/1 before all this got crazy. I remember the first time i even saw a 2020 box was right when this covid stuff started becoming serious. I wasn’t able to go back myself for a long time to look. Although recently it’s been fairly normal to go to stores like Walmart and feel safe with the limited amount of people allowed in and most everyone respecting distance.

I’ve been lucky as the Walmart I frequent the most has been stocking new boxes quite frequently recently. There was a new box there today, in fact. Unfortunately my phone broke on the weekend and I didn’t know which of the final 8 I needed off the top of my head. So I grabbed 2 I knew I needed and will go back soon to hopefully get the final 6 of the 41 trains released in the wave. If I’m lucky.

Speaking of which, I really like many of the themes this year. Galaxy, snow and ice and music are almost all really cool designs.

Some of the Hawaiian, farm and even cowboy can be a bit muddled and aren’t always super interesting, but some of them are.

Farm being probably my least favourite.

If it weren’t for the fact that the box says 2020/1, I’d assume that was all the trains released in bags for the year. Hard to imagine they’ll release another wave after releasing so many in the first one. I’m personally ok if they don’t release another wave. I would assume; Pablo, you’ll be able to eventually find some boxes whenever you feel comfortable and safe to start looking again.
