Attn Canadian Minis Collectors. I just found 2018 7 pack #’s 1 & 2, as well as the DC 9-pack reissue and the SpongeBob 9 pack reissue at Walmart in Vancouver, BC. No sign of the 3 packs or the Blind Bags. Still it’s a good sign to be seeing 2018 product as there was minimal 2017 product.

Just something interesting to note. In the 2018 7-Packs. All the trains except for the “Classic” models no longer have names printed on the bottom. Names have been replaced with numbers or lot/manufacturing codes. I’m not sure if this is the same with the 3-Packs and Blind bags as I haven’t seen them yet.

Some of you may have already seen this but toysrus.com and amazon.com have a Thomas & Friends micro vehicle mega mat for sale that comes with 2 minis. No new minis just reissues of Thomas and Percy at toysrus and Gordon and James on Amazon. Worth checking out if you’re looking for something for your collection or a fun playing surface for your kids.

Looks like Amazon has taken down the links for those new light-up minis...

This is what the items say in my cart for Amazon. They will be released in April.

An ad in Japan has shown the full 2018 blind bag line-up. You can see Victor, Emily, and Hiro twice on it.

Keep in mind that Pencil Troublesome Truck, Pop Art Cargo Car, and Neon Splatter Cargo Car are exclusives to the three 7-Packs. The Thomas as a globe is not there either. Perhaps that is exclusive to a 20 or 30 pack and it got used by mistake. Who knows.

Thanks for the picture! Looks like we’ll have most of the 2015 classics reissued. Guessing we’ll see the other 2015 themes over the next few years too. Fingers crossed we see more at the New York Toy fair at the end of this week.

Good luck, I hope they stay in cart because last time we had a similar item, they suddenly disappeared or never shipped.

Is anyone seeing the Dynamic Thomas set on sale anywhere? I am still hunting for that.

I've been seeing the boost n blast set on toys r us sites (canada and usa) for a little while now. It looks like its only available in store and not for shipping yet. Although when I check nearby stores they aren't in stock yet. It at least gives me the impression it should be available soon.

On a side note, is there any American collectors out there willing to find me the 30 pack with the 3 Slimes. I'm willing to pay for the set and I would only need the 3 trains sent to me, you can keep the rest. Any way to save on shipping as I live in Canada. It looks to be on sale on walmart.com for 27.82. As far as I know it never came out in Canada.
