Wave 3 got a Toys R Us exclusive early release, so that's the only place you can find most of it. The Adventure Packs for Thumpin Wumba Islands and Enchanted Elven Forest have been spotted at GameStops and Targets around the US.

Were they the same situation though? Was it just the figures were never released or only a few people got a hold of them? I thought the Thrillipede situation was different from the Yawns but then again I never really paid attention since Thrillipede and the Yawn Traps were two things I wasnt concerned about. But can someone explain the difference if any?


Both of them were supposed to release on a certain event (Skylanders Day for the Yawn Traps, end of the school year for Thrillipede), both got an extremely limited release in one country, both shortly got pulled from stores for unknown reasons, both were never acknowledged again by Activision, and both had any future shipments canceled and are still likely sitting in a warehouse somewhere since Activision has shown to have yawn traps to give away in the past.

I think the thing with Yawn Traps and Thrillipede is that they both had perfectly usable options out previously, and stores weren't all that hot on having more stock that wouldn't move. You could already trap all the elements the Yawn traps covered, and Easter Thrillipede allowed you to use that character. I know Thrillipede's Easter variant wasn't all that popular (those eyes...), but he was easy to obtain. The problem was the regular one was then considered an extra variant - which sucks for collectors, but kids and normal players can make do just fine.

Grave Clobber does not have a variant, nor does anyo of the other four remaining - so you cannot "make do". If the last one is a regular Chompy Mage and you didn't get the Amazon pack, that might be a problem - since he has a variant out now. The interesting thing this year is figures are in boxes of just them, so nothing would prevent Activision from changing up the figures in a Wave (other than the "W" labelling, but who cares about that). They might just shift some around if the sales really are that bad in order to move as much as they can before the inevitable clearance drop off (which may come even earlier this year). They don't "plan" to short-sheet any of the items, they are stuck with what stores are willing to order. Stores didn't want more traps because they had shelves full of them (and due to the non-unique SKUs, they were unfortunately all water) and Easter Thrillipede really wasn't selling all that much - so why order more of those to have to clearance out?

If you are collecting crystal molds or all figure variants, you probably have something to worry about though.

Newest issue of Skylanders Magazine is out.

SO happy I bought last month's issue while it was still there(no tracking so no I don't have it yet). Doesn't seem like this one has anything useful or any sign of Wave 3 lore yet. Flashwing comic tho...

I've just about had enough of all the doom and gloom around this time of year with every game. Every single year we get some piece of info that indicates Skylanders is doomed for SURE and it's finally getting canceled. Then what happens the following year, every time? New game, yet again. Not saying they won't cancel it, but again, I'm saying that NOTHING IS CONFIRMED, IT'S ALL PURE SPECULATION. If it's confirmed, then I'll panic, but as of now I'm hyping myself up for what we could see next year, from the last senseis to Skylanders 7.

No, we do not have "official" confirmation, Activision would wait as long as possible before confirming that - likely for their quarterly reports in February. It is more than idle fan speculation due to clearance sales this year, and it is a legitimate topic of conversation for people looking to invest more in the franchise. I'm sorry it gives you the sads, but whining about people whining isn't helping anything.

I just opened up Trap Team for a bit and I realized that I completely forgot about the Kaos Doom Challenge. This was by far my favorite type of arena mode by far. Anyone else desperately want this mode back in some form someday?

No. If you really think talking about this on here has bearing on whether the franchise continues or not you are very foolish.

Bottom line, this is General Discussion and this is a 485 page thread, so stop "Mini-mod"ing - that actually is something that is prohibited by Forum Rules. Discussing the inevitable end of the franchise and recent information pertaining to such is not. It is a legitimate discussion and a concern for players, even those of us that are still invested in the franchise and actively buying figures. Skip those posts if it upsets you.

Are the core triple packs at Walmart any different from the original release of the characters? Do they register differently in the game? I noticed that minis with different base colors register differently, so just wondering.
Bifrost Diamond Sparx Gems: 9943
#24872 Posted: 21:12:00 07/12/2016
At this point we had more of "you stop talking about the cancellation!" "No you stop complaining!" Than about the subject itself. I'd say the panicking added more to the discussion than this.

Pezskylander, the cores are the same S3s as before. No changes, they don't have stickers and cards either.

After hearing all the people saying Chompy Mage is a somewhat subpar character, I definitely have to disagree now that I've tried him out. He isn't meant for spammy, close-up combat. I like him because he's a much more strategic character. You've gotta balance which chompies you should send each direction all while keeping a distance and shooting staffs. If enemies do get close, the secondary attack is strong enough to take most of them out in a few swift hits, or finish off any enemies the chompies failed to kill. Chompy Mage is amazing if you want strategic gameplay.

On Kaos, the Skylanders Magazine is canon, but it doesn't really have much you miss out on - there was the whole Ask Pop Fizz edition, the comics with some lore, the mail questions, but you can live without them. He probably just has a bunch of references to Book of Kaos and Mask of Power.

I FINALLY FOUND WAVE 3!!!
Opinions on gameplay are coming on Saturday, now it's just figures.

Flare Wolf is by far my favorite. The colors look much better in person and I picked one with good eyes. Amazing details on the bazooka and the fire is made nicely too. One of my favorite figures this year.

Buckshot is rather simple but still nice. They did a good job on his fur and the arrow isn't bent like Wolfgang's. Also love his tail and pose.

Pit Boss has some really nice details on his robe, like the golden snake at the back. His staff is gigantic and it could be an issue in my smol shelf, but I like the figure nevertheless.

Lastly Solar Flare Aurora. The fire is well made and really fits with the black. It's not such a big change but it's one of the better variants imo.

It's not a glitch, just a freeze frame. And the opposite of nasty - dumb stretching makes the animation look much smoother and saves frames that would be showing them fall like a normal person, which would be OP as he'd be a whole half second invulnerable or sitting duck.

It's no glitch, I took a picture the moment he drops down from his Thunderslam attack. Advance it two or three frames forward and Voila, you've unlocked the secret 32nd Sensei character, chin racshun.

#24885 Posted: 21:09:00 08/12/2016
There's probably more, but Cortex and Tri-Tip do similar in the selfies too. (Maybe Crash as well?)

I do like how it makes the animation look really smooth though, and thankfully we don't really see it happen in the gameplay. Glorious capture though.

I'm underwelmed with him so far, but what you speak to doesn't disprove other people - it enhances it. The fact that you HAVE to play that way is evidence in itself of how weak and limited he is. the other characters can be spammed or played strategically, or somewhere in between.

CM has just been...ugh...its been disheartening as he was my second most interesting character behind Pain-Yatta.

You could still win by spamming chompies left and right, but I'm just saying you get the most out of playing with him defensively. I really like it because I don't have too many defensive characters, so CM is a breath of fresh air for me.

Yes, the secret technique is based on class not element. All you need is one character from a class to unlock the Sensei secret technique for that class. That technique will be unlocked for all elements when you make an Imaginators of that battle class.

Well, Wave 3 is now out and most people have everyone at this point. So now that we're more than halfway through the roster, who's your most anticipated character to release at this point? Mine's Pain-yatta. He looks like a lot of fun.

So, who's yours?

Also, who's your Top 5 Villains and Senseis? You can include Guest Stars if you wish, but I won't. Here are my lists:

Senseis:
1. Chain Reaction
2. Buck Shot
3. Flare Wolf
4. King-Pen
5. Pit Boss
HM: Starcast, Air Strike, Tri-Tip, Mysticat, Aurora

Villains:
1. Kaos
2. Pain-yatta
3. Chompy-Mage
4. Tae Kwon Crow
5. Bad Juju

HM: Blaster-Tron, Grave Clobber, Wolfgang, Krankcase, Hood Sickle
