Oh, it's another set - I saw a flash of this and wondered was it was doing the rounds again.

Looks like Bluey $2 coins the only bubblegum $2 coins of 2026 so far, apart from standard $2.
Is it just now that the 5 other coins are NCLT only and not standard till coins.

Has the mint realised that people are getting sick of the more Juvenile themes.

I hear you.  Although, I also think that if these young kids can get interested in collecting coins, then there is a chance that some of them will develop into true collectors.

I'm hoping that it going to be good for coin collectors overall, even if we don't collect them.

The mint has leapt on Australia Post's model of Fleece All The Suckers and Fleece Them Hard.
It killed stamp collecting. It will likely kill coin collecting too. I have virtually stopped getting any new coins.
