Have either of these guys made appearances at Best Buy or any retailers other than TRU as of yet? With the prior wave, we saw the new characters trickling into stores within days of the initial TRU release.

They're not online besides from websites like eBay. Although on Walmart, there's a preorder for them. For some reason though, it said that the preorder shipping date is 12/31/15.

The initial shipments to TRU were confirmed to be only boxes of the new guys. Now that they're starting to hit other stores, the regular shipments should include Echo and the assortment promised with this wave. TRU had their couple days of exclusivity.

Just found these guys at my Walmart in east Texas. Was shocked as normally my Walmart is way behind on getting new Skylanders.

Flip Wreck has to be the worst painted figure ever. I found two in my TRU that were missing one eye....actually they weren't missing, they were planted firmly on his snout!! 90% of the others he had some serious cross eye syndrome. Who paints these?...Stevie bloody Wonder?!?. My 10 year old could do it better. I went through 20 or so and managed to find one that was ok I guess. Also Fling King wasn't great either. Area around his hand attached to the throwing disc was really bad on most. The quality of the paint jobs on these figures is going totally downhill especially when compared to the quality of say the Infinity figures. I don't know what is going on but seriously it's not good and it puts me off carrying on with this franchise!

My TRU had over 12 each but a lot of them had cross-eye or lazy-eye. I picked up the best paint job for both, some had sloppy paint jobs (splatter here and there).

Fling Kongs looked very good, but it took me a while to pick out a Flip Wreck. I had my pick from three new cases and had to look at all three before I found one really acceptable. I even found one that I almost bought for sheer laughs with his eyes going in opposite directions.

Found Fling Kong, Ship Wreck, and Enigma at the Nintendo World Store in NYC today. Lots to choose from.

My Gamestop had one of each. After reading this thread, surprisingly my Flip Wreck is perfect, but the only Fling Kong they had was so bad(paint, and a massive gauge out of the disc slashing the air logo in half) I didn't even get it. So This week I'll have to drive 40mins to the next shopping center with stores that carry skylanders to check for another smilie .

Both were at the local Best Buy and GameStops, but all had terrible, terrible paint applications.

I just ordered mine from amazon. It was easier for me than trying to track them down at the brick and mortar since the nearest ones are over an hour away

Fling kong should be called flimsy kong as his tail is so fragile.
