thomas and friends mini series

Does anyone happen to have the 2019 Advent engines [url=https://thomasminis.fandom.com/wiki/Adve...dar_(2019)]with the dates they appear[/url]? I like to be able to list them in date order, but it's not critical (I haven't done it in all years).

Here are some more 2019/4 engines from the description of a youtube video:
- 402 scented-2 thomas
- 404 x-ray gator
re-releases:
- 25 spooky thomas
- 60 space gordon
- 127 henry
- 131 belle
- 407 spooky salty

Medieval James and the re-release of Space Bert are on the Collector's Sheet but haven't appeared in any waves yet (at least, not that I've seen here). Has anyone found those?

Pets Cargo Car, Sushi Cargo Car and Holidays Cargo Car are on the Collector's Sheet but haven't appeared in any waves, which is in line with previous years which have had 4 blister pack-only releases. That does imply there should be another Cargo Car coming that isn't listed on the Collector's Sheet. Has anyone seen 7-packs #3 or #4 (which I haven't listed yet)?

Both my interest in and time available to work on my page are flagging. I've been contemplating ceasing updates when the 2020 waves start coming out (the site itself wouldn't go away, just stop getting updates). Watching for blind bag numbers and getting them complete and correct is enough work already, and adding in all the other releases just makes this too much. There are also other ways for minis fans to track their collections or find all this information in one place, which wasn't true when I started my page, so I feel like my page is less useful nowadays. If anyone has any good suggestions (including moving to some other site or format), I'm all ears.

Space Gordon and Space Bert are not in 2019/4 . Medieval James ( King James ) is there

The cargo cars are only available in the 7 packs once again. Only 2 of the 7 packs have been released so far in the US/Canada. I think they have been released in Japan. On your list you can remove the AFL minis and the TMNT minis. Those are no longer happening. The translucent minis power rangers have only been released in a 4 pack and only 3 of them are translucent: blue, green and pink. 

I would have to say that your page is the most valuable checklist page out there. I’m sure there are numerous members in this community that would be more than willing to step up and help out updating your list

Thanks for the picture, it's a nice confirmation! :-)

Can you confirm the numbers for 127-Belle and 131-Henry? They've been released in the past with 131 for Belle and 127 for Henry.

I appreciate all the updates, that was helpful. I'm especially glad you pointed out that Percy is in the Power Rangers pack, I had just blindly put in Hiro without paying attention!

jdogman: pablo392's picture shows Nia as #6 and Christmas Toby as #7; they are reversed on your page. I'm going to go with what's in the picture but thought you might be interested in the discrepancy.

Thanks all for the kind words. Be careful what you offer, though, I might take you up on it! ;-) I'm not giving up immediately, just trying to figure out how to manage this in the longer term with less interest. It's not like the minis line is getting any less complex! If I'm going to maintain this on the same site I'd want to look for someone willing to provide patch/diff files to the html: half the work is getting the list of new minis but the other half is figuring out exactly where to put them and making sure to maintain backward compatibility for all the users. If it is going to go to another site, of course I'd help get it ported over and make sure users can take their lists with them.

Also did Rebecca and Holidays Charlie ever get blind bags? I don't have those listed for them.

3 new packs released with Glow in the Dark Engine, Crate and Creature/Cargo Animal, along with a pack of slime.
Glow in the dark Thomas, Scruff and Salty.


 

 

Drew, i want to thank you for all the work you have done with your checklist. I know many of us here would have been lost without it, and i know several non-BPT collectors personally who use it regularly.

Thanks also to the members here who have shared info over the last 3 or 4 years. I would have given up ages ago without you guys. As it is, minis is the only current thomas range i collect.

Are the glow minis in those slime packs new designs or repeats?

looks like the glow in dark Salty and Scruff were in the 5 pks . Glow Thomas is new

My error Switch the numbers on Henry and Belle

All of the trains are re-issues. Thomas is from the glow 5 pack that was released a few years back. The back of the package does say that the mystery creatures ‘glow’ so they may be different from the ones released with the fizz ones. The silhouettes are the dragon, alien and monkey.

Unless i am mistaken the styles of the two different glow releases are entirely different .

Hi rekp,
They are the same engine, newer vs older chassis.
