Nibelilt I have no interest in Metallic Cynder since she literally has no eyes



You should be happy with an exclusive variant,some places don't have many variants at all,such as Australia and other countries in the EU

EU has 1/3rd of variants and Australia gets GITD Fright Rider since they aren't getting the starter pack with GITD Cynder

2/2 Stone Variants Zook and Whirlwind and Polar Whirlwind

I need Scarlet Ninjini

Europe has one third of variants?
No.
Regardless, let's not argue over that here please, this topic was designed for what IS coming to AUSTRALIA, not what ISN'T coming to OTHER places.

I would rather have Granite Crusher, I do not care for GITD figures, so I am happy my country gets Granite Crusher, hopefully Sapphire Flashwing, Sidekicks, and Blue Bash, because those are the only ones I care about.

Has it been proven Australia isn't getting Granite Crusher as Target hasn't released their catalouge for the skylanders yet.

Looks like we won't, because Target's catalogs all lack it and nobody else is announcing it. I reckon Big W would have had it in their latest catalog, JB probably won't get two exclusives, TRU already gets Legendary figures, and EB Games has GDC.
mantez Emerald Sparx Gems: 3167
#61 Posted: 22:32:30 12/10/2012
But there will be a new catalouge that starts Thursday the 18th which should be online Monday night and I reckon Skylanders giants will be in that one.

The jury is out on Target/Granite Crusher. Target have not had SG featured in a catalogue yet but someone rang head office and they said no. Then again, HO have been wrong before, so that is not necessarily conclusive, either.

I popped into my local JB and she is holding one for me but showed me on her screen that does not have the option for the fright rider exclusive available like your store did - she did not know why.

I should be golden but it is still strange.

Other store is the same as yours now, chaos. They said they're getting about a hundred in, so I actually took myself the liberty of moving my Wii Starter there so I get two. *dodges tomatoes* Sorry if it seems greedy everyone, but at least it means one less scalper has a chance. smilie

But Nibelilt is pleased! ~ smilie
I went to EB Games today and guess what they had?
Eeyup! The Wave One stock was in! smilie
Including Slam Bam, Whirlwind, Zook, Ignitor, Trigger Happy, Pop Fizz, Fright Rider, the 3DS POP, the console SPs, both triples- and a first- the GOLDEN Dragonfire Cannon!
I didn't really get a good ton of looks, and didn't even hold Chill or Pop Fizz or Fright, nor any pictures, but tomorrow I will go in with my Portals (to test out the LightCore effects) and snap pictures if they let me. Words cannot express how relaxed and calm I am right now.
Everyone else still says stock will come in on Monday/Tuesday (and EB clearly lacks some of theirs) but, yeah! smilie

#66 Posted: 05:17:49 13/10/2012
I thought it was strictly one GITD fright per customer.

Are eb selling the figures yet or did they just get stock in?

I put that one under another name. I know it's sort of silly, but hey, if they have over a HUNDRED, I think everyone will be a o k.
No, I mean, I put one on preorder for me, and one for my mum. smilie
Seriously, though, may as well. smilie The opportunity is too large.
In fact, I reckon that JB will get OVERSTOCKED on them, because everyone will probably buy the game and figures from the nearby TRU instead. I wouldn't have if there were a very low number coming, though.
... Is doing this wrong?... I know it's cheating, the limit was to keep stock in, but they're going to get a lot of it. What do you guys think, is it bad I'm doing this?

EB Games won't sell them yet, but they have everything except console POPs, 3DS SPs, the three Giants Singles, and standard Dragonfire in.

Well, considering that you need to buy the Starter to get him, the fetish of scalpers is inflating prices, and he isn't announced outside of Australia, I'd say initially about $100, eventually rising in price like Silvers and Golds to a final 210-ish. All speculation of course.

Buy an extra 3DS starter then trade the portal and game back to eb games and sell the punch pop fizz aswell

Hey guys, I was just curious about what the Aussie hunt was like at release last year... I only started with Skylanders this year with the final wave and was wondering what is was like last year. Was it hard to get certain figures? Did places sell out? Were scalpers a big problem? I just have no idea what to expect :/

Just got back from Work, the Skylanders setup at front of store looks amazing, forgot to take pics but if you're at Moore Park Tomorrow, you can't miss it it's as you come in, looks great.

Got My Legendary Trip/Bouncer and Lightcore Eruptor saved..not sure weather to grab, gonna hopefully grab swarm and Crusher, didn't see ninjini/thumpback and eyebrawl..although we did have a lot of boxes and it wasn't full yet.

But yeah, I got everything except the Legendary Triple today, and Gnarly Bundle who is coming tomorrow who I will get.

83AU dollars gets you the starter pack and the GITD Fright Rider +99 cent shipping

So I bought everything I could find today, the only variants I got were GID Fright Rider, the triple pack legandaries from TRU and Legnadary Bouncer also from true. Target did not have any Crusher Granite variants.

BTW the game rocks .. my two boys haven't let me play too much yet, but it is awesome!

I was in Melbourne Tue evening and got all excited as I saw in the CBD:

1/. An interactive display at a Dick Smith store where people could press a button to see the video for one of several figs (been shown before in another thread)

2/. A giant 3 sided poster thing in front of a Target encouraging you to take a photo in front of it.

3/. The empty box for the PS3/SG bundle at the same Target - the bloke had no idea when stock was coming in but still cool.


However, yesterday morning was not as exciting:

The KMart had no stock out when they opened and after I waited, only a small amount of stock was put out, even though they had quite a few boxes of stock.

Big W only had a small amount of stock and the manager said that was the only stock they had.

The JB Hifi I had my pre-order at did not get any GITD Fright Riders in and the next store closest no longer existed. I got a call late yesterday from the original store that they had arrived but I had already sourced mine by that point.

Dick Smith only putting stock out that morning.

I checked several Harvey Normans out of curiosity and none had stock out; the best I saw was one store with boxes still packed and in a metal cage on wheels.

Confirmed no Granite Crusher at Target.

Glow Fright Rider? Yes - I even finagled it so I was not out of pocket for another starter pack that I did not want. I will not go into details but let's just say that JB are not happy with me but I did not do anything illegal and I am not losing any sleep about it.
