Yes, I planned to, but I didn't remember the prices and I was too tired to check. Updating the post now, though.

Can you buy the dragonfire cannon from the stores or preorder?

The Golden one can be preordered from EB Games, but if you want the silver one, you'll have to hunt it. However, the Big W catalog confirms that we are going to get it.

I'll probably also add a list of everything you can preorder at EB Games since I'm going there today to do that myself, I can clarify exactly what is in their system.

Alas, my Target didn't even have the stock in yet. Oh well.
On the plus side, EB Games gave me five posters and confirmed that everything except exclusives that aren't the GDC and the regular Cannon can all be ordered, I've changed the PREORDER BONUSES section to just FIGURE PREORDERS with bonuses noted below.

Yeah, Wasn't one I was Fond of to start with but a collection can't grow any other way, was tempted to grab Terra, Slam, Trig as well but not enough cash and I have the already except Slam but wanna grab the adventure pack).

Oooo, Forgot about this, We got our Skylanders delivery 5 big pallets..one of them Legendary Triple Packs...missed chance to open it to see but interesting non the less (TRU BTW)

Veeeeery tempting to visit TRU at launch now... But it's such a pain going there... Ugh... I'll probably feel obliged to go after my more local areas, sigh. Yeah, I think my new plan is to go to K-Mart then TRU before my local areas now. At least it confirms they'll probably be a launch set, which is good.

Also, if anyone from Aus wants the Glow set really, really badly, since it isn't confirmed to be available locally in any way, if you have an Amazon account you can order it here from Amazon.de, but be noted that this is much more expensive than the standard pack: it converts to around $88 WITHOUT postage included.

Edit: I ordered one and the postage was 9 euros, I live in Melbourne. That would make the total price approximately $99.

KMart opens at 8am
Big W opens at 8:30
TRU at 9

also a who..2 whos in fact
The Harvey is Gerry Harvey who is the 13th richest guy in oz (worth 0.8 billion)...he's a really fluffy guy..he described giving charity to the homeless as "a waste", and said that it was "helping a whole heap of no-hopers to survive for no good reason". what a lovely chap.
No I'm not going to Harvey Norman regardless.

Preordered Legendary Bouncer from Toysrus cos it's an hours drive away so the $10 postage saves time and money (and going into Knifepoint Shopping Centre..sorry...Highpoint in Melbourne)
I'm regular checking for TRU to sell Legendary Triple online but I might have to bite the bullet.
I've also got a thread running at Whirlpool so I'll transfer anything I find from there smilie

I called up two JB's today and there is good news and bad news...

The good news is that stores will get more than two each - one store just said quite a few more and the other actually went out the back and checked. She said 24.

Bad news is that both said first come, first served and they can't officially accept pre-orders. The first store originally said they would hold figs for pre-orders but then later clarified that pre-orders were not allowed.

Sorry for the bad news but at least there is some good news.

If they don't give it to me, I will be in utter rage mode, because this means one; they have taken my money for a false guarantee, and two; I'll have to hunt for him AGAIN and it was so PAINFUL doing it today.

You should be fine but I can only go by what two independent stores told me, especially given that the first store was initially so adamant that I could pre-order and when I got there he said that he was wrong.

Well, I'll call them tomorrow anyway. I really hope that it will be set for me, because otherwise I'm gonna need to hunt hard for him and I only have two JB stores within a reasonable length(and it would also be quite interruptive of my TRU visit because then I would be stuck between going to him or Legendaries).
chaosworrier Yellow Sparx Gems: 1555
#44 Posted: 12:00:03 12/10/2012
I am in luck as not only is there a JB in the shopping centre where the TRU, KMart and Big W is (and Harvey Norman), there is another one literally 3-4 blocks away and then another a further couple lms further (so only a few minutes up the road by car).

I would be happy to try to get one for you but would not want to double up.

Given that you have an official receipt with the GITD fig specifcally stated on it, I would say you are golden. In fact, I will show that to my local store to try to pre-order myself.

I actually have a JB Hi-Fi in the same area as my TRU. However, I get the awful feeling that TRU will have a long line on Wednesday and will sell out of the Legendary sets because mine gets terrible stock numbers without exception. I'll call them tomorrow, and if it is off, I guess I'll just end up going to the one near TRU first... I guess I'll probably be going around for the Green Power sheets tomorrow anyway, so it's not too out there to go on the way and show the receipt to ask.
