RE: thomas and friends mini series - rekp - 08-07-2020
Tootally has full box of 48 for £127.50
RE: thomas and friends mini series - sunhuntin - 08-07-2020
too expensive. even without shipping, its $250NZD, more than twice what i would pay locally when they become available. one place sells minis for $2NZD, and buying all 48, including the duplicates from the advent, thats only $96NZD.
RE: thomas and friends mini series - mikedaws - 08-07-2020
Totally agree. I can get the full box for about $96 Canadian. So about the same as New Zealand. Will wait until then. If I can get a sealed one, I’ll just get that. If I have to sort through it, I’ll pass over the ones that came with the Advent calendar
RE: thomas and friends mini series - sunhuntin - 08-08-2020
i guess its worth if you cant wait, or are somewhere supply might be limited. we might never get them here, but will wait and see first. spending $154 more than i would locally is just crazy, and thats without shipping added on.
mike, i will likely just grab the box, unless i have time to sort. i have crossed out the advent ones on my list that stays in my wallet, but if i am pushed for time, will just count the bags and go.
RE: thomas and friends mini series - rekp - 08-08-2020
The difference is that the rrp of a blind bag in the UK is £2.79 .

Sun..I’ll most likely do the same. If I find a full box, it will most likely just be easier to get the whole thing. Having a few extras isn’t a big deal
RE: thomas and friends mini series - sunhuntin - 08-08-2020
rekp, so is tootally's price the uk retail? in that case, it makes sense to buy through him. not so much for overseas collectors.
RE: thomas and friends mini series - Pablo392 - 08-16-2020
Does this remind anyone of anything? Now I wonder if that invisible Henry with deformed glasses was not a misprint?
Never seen this before, unless this is some pop culture reference that I am sadly not familiar with?

They are actually selling it.

RE: thomas and friends mini series - mikedaws - 08-16-2020
That’s pretty interesting! Good to hear from you! Hope you’ve been doing well!
RE: thomas and friends mini series - Pablo392 - 08-30-2020
Hi Mike! All good, just sad that stores are still not getting Series 2 blind bags.
I finally had a chance to go to Target last week for the first time after a long time, despite having a long line outside, noticing how it kept moving, I got on it, and waited. Promised my son some beyblades, so we went in. I noticed there was not a single mini (no blind boxes/bags, and no 3-4 packs either). They didn't have much of anything to be honest. I ended up taking him to a walmart next day early morning, we walked in and I noticed they still had Series 1 boxes, and at $3+ each I didn't think it was worth getting any more than I already had in my trunk.
I was hoping we'd see blind bags but still no sight of them. I doubt we'll see them anytime soon.
In other news, Amazon just refunded my advent calendar order claiming "it was returned by carrier". How weird, they can leave $300 items on my door, which is few steps from a busy street, but not $35 toy trains? The good thing is, price went down by $5, so I can re-order and save a little.
Otherwise, I am pretty discouraged with what I am seeing, not being able to tell which box has which engine I really don't feel like spending $3+ for something I used to get for $1, which eventually went up to $1.50 and I think highest I've seen was $2 each after tax.
