F.i.n.a.l.l.y. I've been calling TRU Times Square for months on end.

This means that I can finally finish my Giants collection!~ smilie

But, still, why exactly did they choose this September, nearly two years, after the game was originally released?

Didn't the super late crystal variants spell it out? You'll NEVER be done with ANY collection, because they can do this type of stuff WHENEVER they feel like it.

Why now? Remember PEB? They tend to release a new old character immediately before release is what I've seen. I'm shocked it's not a Swap Force character, but whatever. I find it EXTREMELY odd that they would bother with this since we have a Series 2 around the corner.

RIP GhostRoaster. He's reanimated as TakeYourLemons but occasionally is resurrected from the beyond when needed.

They are bothering with it because Series 2 Shroomboom is right around the corner. He becomes much less desirable to anyone other than a collector the moment Series 2 comes out. This way they can sell the green one to you, then the Series 2. smilie

Hey everyone, got three today. Almost proud of myself that I got one before Matteomax since it seemed like we were the only ones trying to track down our last varient. If I can figure out how to post a photo on here, I will gladly show proof.

My TRU is too good when it comes to release dates. I called and nothing.
Looks like I will have to wait until the release date.

Thanks for the UPC Matteo! It helped a bunch. Turns out my TRU's delivery truck is carrying them and wont be in until tomorrow. So at least I know it's coming. Kid is happy that he gets to go to a "sorta" skylander morning release, lol .

Cleveland OH here, the TRU in Mayfield Hts had about 15-20 of them. Grabbed one for myself lol

Edit: oh ya its worth noting that I was able to use my Frito Lay $1 off coupon on it. Your mileage may vary per store.
EDIT2: Now that I'm home;

So did the one I went too today. They had a box of 12 of them in the back, but couldn't sell me one because they're dated for 9/13. I'll have to see if any of the other TRU's by me have them out. Otherwise, guess I know where I'll be the morning of the 13th! lol

TRU in Princeton, NJ had them street dated in the back as well. If you guys are able to purchase them, please list the locations that are selling them to help fellow forum members out. Personally, I'm looking for NJ locations that have them out for sale...any info would be greatly appreciated.

TRU in Columbia, MO. had them out as soon as delivery tuck dropped them off. According to my counts only 1 case of 12, could've been more in back... but only 12 on shelf. Grabbed 2 no problems.

Haven't checked my TRU, or peruse here on the forum. I had a feeling they were out since ebay had them with BIN for $15.00. If I can't make it to TRU in the near future then for sure will remember to check on 9/13. I'm sure my son will want to complete the green metallic variant collection.

I checked my TRU in Boynton Beach, Florida yesterday. They said they hadn't gotten them in yet, but that the truck should be here today.
They made no mention of a street date.

Got mine tonight. The green looks off on mine compared to the Green Gil Grunt. So glad I didn't sucker myself into buying these when they were "chase" variants. In fact, they're more or less conditioning me in not buying ANY chase variants until well beyond their release cycle. Prices will likely be lower, and if they pull a chase / mass distribution option I won't be left holding the bag.

But if you wait to buy a chase....and it really is a chase variant... More then likely you will pay more the longer you wait...look at flocked and gitd variants have gone way up as of late!...just something to keep in mind

Dropped in to pick one up yesterday, they had plenty on the pegs. No muss, no fuss - in and out in about two minutes. Got it for $6 with a $5 off coupon, too.

I picked the one that was the most green, most of them were kind of yellowish. I call them "trophy" Skylanders, because they look like trophies.

I'm not talking about years...it's a timing act. Didn't do SSA variants outside of Spyro and Cynder and Hex because the rest are easily copied.

Got mine tonight. They just got them today (1 case)
They had BOGO40% also.
I also noticed that some had darker paint than others. I picked the one that was not as dark, it had more of a shine to it.

How do you folks get your hands on the chase variants? I've never seen one physically, aside from users putting up pictures of theirs. Is it sheer luck?

As soon as I heard TRU was going to release him on 9/15 and already had their cases of him in store, I started looking often. I knew the store here wouldn't put him out on time because the staff is mostly high school kids who don't know any better. I thought about snagging up a couple more and keeping them stashed away, but then I wondered if he was gonna be like QuickDraw and be everywhere.
