Lord Dirt Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Can you really count Hothead as being released as it seems like they just gave every TRU two and that is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Dirt Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Hmmm, my Gamestops didnt get any. Where did you get the release date in Nov. from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Dirt Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 You mean Wave 3, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Dirt Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I have all of Wave 2 already but Hothead. Why would TRU say release Wave 2 on the 16th when they have already released them? Wal-Mart has also released Wave 2 so your info is a little off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmporerDragon Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Small suggestion: If you're going to be using pics heavily, you might want to edit them to a more reasonable size, because as they are, a large chunk of the pictures are bigger than most people's monitor resolutions.

gdmann Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I see WAVE 3/4 is still TBA, but does anyone know when the last 4 are going to be released (Hot Dog, Ninjini, Thumpback, & Eye-Brawl). B 4 Christmas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Dirt Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 "3) For the original Skylander's game, Activision released all the waves within a month of each other" they dragged out releases for the original for over half a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmporerDragon Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 "3) For the original Skylander's game, Activision released all the waves within a month of each other" they dragged out releases for the original for over half a year And they never released them in sensible quantities. Even now, guys like wham-shell are still a pain to get. Also, they had a nasty habit of releasing figures in low quantities in single packs, then several weeks later, release them in mass quantities in 3 packs.

You can get Wham Shell in the $30 carry case at Toys R Us. They have plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That still results in me paying $30 for a Wham Shell. More if I factor in that the nearest Toys-R-Us is 100 miles away. I just want a Wham Shell at a decent price, but I don't want to pay a scalper's ransom or be forced into buying a glorified trapper keeper.

caseysrodeo13 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Update on series 2 new character "chill variants"......the day after the launch I picked up the triple pack that had "chill" with the blue lips, there were also singles "chill" with blue lips. I didnt even pay attention to the variants until I read on line there was a difference. Today at my local gamestop I picked up "chill" with the red lips so there you go everyone. There is a variant........! I cant believe I found one. I checked on ebay and found several where people were gouging the price way up....some as high as 500 dollars. I dont think the character is really worth that much. I did see a very few reasonably priced with free shipping.... any way thought I would share, happy Skylanders Giants hunting this weekend.....

I just called my local TRU store and they were kind of cryptic as to what was really being released tomm. 11/16. When I asked about wave 3 I did not get a no or we have no information and they went on to say that it is one of two possibilities: 1. They are releasing wave 3 either tomm. on 11/16 to coincide with the Wii U launch. or 2. That the wave 3 figures will be released on or around 11/30 because Activision is not that dumb to release anything on Black Friday and cause a mass panic and problems. When I asked how the salesperson said they had this information they real quietly said shipping manifests and then hung up. It is like they were not supposed to say anything or something. All I know is that TRU has an exclusive contract with Activision that they get all the new wave characters before any other store gets them. That has proved true in my area as TRU has received all characters at least 1-2 weeks before any other stores. So there is a tid bit of info. Also if you look at the skylanders club house you can find out all of the wave 3 characters. They are: Giant Eye Brawl Giant Scarlet Ninjini Giant Ninjini Royal Double Trouble Legendary Chill (TRU) Legendary Stealth Elf (TRU) Hot Dog Molten Hot Dog Polar Whirlwind Jade Flashwing Speculations: Spyro Wrecking Ball Lightning Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Dirt Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) Didnt think wave 3 was supposed to hit until Dec. EDIT: went to TRU and no new Skylanders, if they do have a new shipment it might come out on the 18th when the WiiU comes out as they might help promote it Edited November 16, 2012 by Lord Dirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseysrodeo13 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Well the new wii came out around the first week of November,.... I went TRU this morning and there were no new skylanders on the racks.....I work there and we got a new shipment in this past tuesday? go figure......anyway I spoke with one of our managers and apparently TRU isnt going to release any new skylanders at my store until Thanksgiving day at 8pm......makes no sense and I work there,.....oh I work there but Im treated no differently on purchases so I have to wait like everyone else...totally blows....

caseysrodeo13 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 True it does, I was thinking of the gnarly tree rex with the baby blue wii console.....sorry about that. Im still hoping that at least my store will release earlier than turkey day.....We have new skylanders they just wont release them. I'll be there bright and early sunday just to make sure. Im unloading trucks tonite {saturday} so I'll be checking all the boxes as they some off the truck or trucks....alot of the stuff coming off the trucks are meant for blk friday so we will see. I'll keep everyone as up to date as possible..... Just to share gamestop is doing a exclusive on buy two skylander giant characters and get the third for free......of course you have to have a power rewards membership with the code. It ends november the 20th..... Once again good skylander hunting this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseysrodeo13 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Hit TRU this morning...nothing new out accept collector cards....The cards are pretty cool, my daughter will love them....I'll attempt to keep everyone posted. Just a reminder walmart likes to release things right after midnite.....so maybe someone will get lucky and buy a wiiu skylanders giants starter pack and be able to pick up either the rest of wave 2 or the beginning of wave 3 characters....who knows right? LOL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseysrodeo13 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Well everyone I helped put out the new legendary stealth elf early this morning {TRU}. Left work went home changed clothes went back up there to buy LSE and "bam" they wouldnt let me buy it because the street date is the 22nd of November, so I helped them take all 6 cases back down off the shelf.... Turkey day.....totally blows......Now Ive got to wait until then...hopefully then I'll be able to pick up the rest of wave 2 and wave 3......thought I'd share......
