Preorder status on EB Games website now says April for wave 4 figures.

https://ebgames.com.au/any/any/preorder?q=Skylanders

They always take at least a month to release a new wave here. The waves seem to come out subtly shorter and shorter each time, but I've just given up on doing anything but waiting for EB to announce dates, since Acti haven't worked out anything for Royal and we're still missing a lot of items including Sidekicks. It seems that they don't really mind about making people outside of the US wait so much longer, and even the EB dates have been off by a week or so each time so far. I honestly just want Ninjini and S2 Drobot to get it over and done with and sell my Giants stuff. *sigh*

Also, ugh... Ninjini is still a TBC. She's supposed to be part of Wave Four, why isn't she dated April?

New member here collecting SSA and SG for the boy childs in the house. 7 year old, 5 year and and 18 month old (yes he loves them too!)

Scored a bargain today! JB Hi-fi Parramatta - someone had made a mistake pricing the Battle Arena. It scanned at $65 but I pointed out the price tag of $29.95 and they had to give it to me for that. The guy that served me was one of the managers and he straight away called someone over to go and correct the other stock. He was a bit annoyed that someone had made the mistake but he said "that's good for you!"

Managed to get the Legendary Bouncer and the triple pack from TRU last week too.

I have a treasure box of skylanders (well 2 actually...one SSA and one SG)......the boys better start earning their rewards with some star behaviour because I have most of the ones they are after!

EB Games have updated the release dates of Wave 4 on their website to 28 March 2013.

They have NOT yet done this for Ninjini.

I was just in EB games, and the girl in there had heard that Ninjini might be coming in May, next wave of figures 28th March, Swap force in Aug-Sept.

Got 2 pencil cases however......

MAY?!?!
What the heck... My birthday might come sooner than Ninjini... I guess I'll just stick to Scarlet instead.

Hot Dog, Shroomboom, S2 Spyro and S2 Wrecking Ball out now at Target. No signs of the rest of Wave 4.

Which City® are you in(State©, if not willing to tell)? It seems like one State© gets them first and it takes within a week for the rest to get new figures, and I'm wondering if I should bother looking at my local store... Then again, my sister did want to tell me something she learned from there, where she works, and I am going to EB Games tomorrow for Monster Hunter... I'll check my local spots in Melbourne™...

P.S. Sorry for the TradeSnarks, I've just been reading TVTropes today

Edit: nvm, just checked the last few pages and see you're in VIC also... Looks like I'm checking Target today

I saw them also in Target. I only saw them at Target Helensvale in the Gold Coast region of Queensland.
I recently also checked other nearby Target stores but they do not have them yet.

I can vouch for the fact that they actually exist. LOL, same day my Wrecking Ball from a friend arrived!

None are in WA yet. Also are Toys R us exiting gaming? As they seem to have most of their games on clearance. Also the range of new games they get seem to be shrinking.

I noticed the same thing. I hope their gaming section lasts at least until Legendary LC Chill is released.
I think they are getting rid of their gaming section which I think is a shame as it was my favourite part of the store.

Spyro's Adventure 3 packs on sale in Aldi from Wed 27/3

Any interesting packs?

No skylanders stuff is on clearance but most of the gaming section is (even though the clearance prices are pretty crappy)

I just got back from K mart and they had wrecking ball S2 and spyro S2.

Chill is on the system huzzah

no date yet...booourns

I went to toys r us this morning and they said they can't look it up and he also told me that toys are us aren't doing games any more.

oh that is weird cause i live in Queensland and i went to my local kmart and they had 1 s2 gill grunt single i hot dog single and that is it no other shop had wave 4 weird hugh and i got a hot dog single

My Target restocked on the Series 2 Wave 2 Skylanders, which was kinda good as I was sick of finding Trigger Happy, Zook and Fright Rider everywhere. That took up at least 50% of all the Giants stock (excluding Giants).

We are stopping games, but we will be stocking skylanders and infinity as well, just nothing else, no need to ask them though, I'll keep tab on it see if there's an update, only noticed it on today so Ill say a month or so and she'll be around..hopefully.

update

we have wave 4, only singles so far, no giants

chill is coming mid april.

Sircopycat do you know when Lightcore Pop Fizz be released?

The lack of information around when this stuff will come out down here (New Zealand) is depressing.

A worker from an EB Games store told me that Ninjini will be releasing in Australia with Wave 5 instead of Wave 4.
Also Wave 5 should be out sometime next month. At least that is what I have been told.

Also no sign of Jade Flashwing, Molten Hot Dog or Legendary LC Chill yet.

Looks like we aren't getting the McDonald's toys just yet either. They have just started Croods at the same time as the US, but next up is Teenage Mutant ninja turtles for the boys.

No idea on LC pop, I forgot to check tbh, I'll check Monday at work

Again LC Chill, mid April.

No further word on when Ninjini might be seen in the wild?

Not sure what's coming, but looking yesterday a lot of stores were getting light cores, so it sounds like its something, but again not sure if we're getting them today or Monday, check with your nearest store see if they've got a delivery of them.

ok i just got s2 spyro and i saw a single shroom boom and sprocket and gill grunt

Hmmmm.....I just checked the EB Games website. Lists LC Chill and Pop Fizz available from 19/4. But Ninjini doesn't appear at all any more! I hope this is just an error.......
My boys are desperate for a ninjini!

I preordered Ninjini from EB Games and when I click on my preorders, it states: 'This product is not available for purchase online.'
That is all that is stated. Also it does not state a release date but I am hoping it is also 19/4.

Is there a chance that we'll miss out on Ninjini altogeather? I understand that happened with Whamshell.

Tel: Lets hope Activision aren't so silly as to not bring Ninjini to Australia at all!

Weren't there only 8,000 Wham-Shells sold in AUS? I could've sworn someone posted that.

Well I'm in New Zealand, but I heard that Whamshell was super-rare in Australia. My logic is that if it's rare in Auzzie, then Kiwis will totally be out of luck. If there is a chance that Ninjini might not show up at all, I might bite the bullet and try getting an imported one from Trade-me/Ebay.
And, honestly, the lack of information and lack of preorder date from EB Games, isn't filling me with a lot of hope.

Chill is in the Warehouse, so expect it in the next week or so.

Actually while i'm here, lets say I was going to sell my collection of Skylanders, mainly GITD Fright Rider, Crystal Cynderand Dark Spyro) What's the best prices I could look to get for them?

Wham shell was released here although the last wave was quite limited, He was also released again when K mart had a heap of Spyro's adventure stock for $5 each a couple of months back. I have the remaining giants figures pre ordered so I am all good.

I doubt we will miss out on Ninjini, but I am guessing that EB Games removed it
from the website probably due to too many preorders for it. However I am doubtful
that the variants (such as Molten Hot Dog, Scarlet Ninjini, etc) will arrive in Australia.

Fortunately there is always ebay as a way arround this, but it comes at a higher than
retail price.

Yeah - thinking I might ebay it...

Did Wrecking ball come out in the recent assortment? I have only seen a few Spyros, nothing like the regular packed out shelves when a new wave is due.

Wrecking Ball has been available as early as March 21 in some stores.
He was released at the same time as S2 Spyro, Hot Dog Single and Shroomboom Single.
They are fairly common although I must admit I haven't seen any in the past week.

Thanks Dragon Master. I frequent stores quite a bit and have never seen a Wrecking ball in store, just unlucky this time I guess.

Lightcore Chill & Lightcore Pop Fizz were released today.

Here is my image proof.

So far I have only seen them in EB Games.

Please show us how they light up!

And holy crap 18$ For a Lightcore Figure!?And the AU dollar is worth more than the Canadian dollar!

To think I thought skylanders were expensive ._.

Ok, update, LLC will be in cat 8 which starts 1st of may, if we get her before that I'm not 100% she is in the warehouse but they may hold off until then.

As requested pics of the lightcore effects of Chill & Pop Fizz

I did not use any flash so I apologise in advance of the picture quality,
however it does allow you to make a good comparison.

Did we get LC/pop fizz and L/C Chill before the US?

Yep...

Was just at Target Tea Tree Plaza (SA) and they had LC Chill, LC Pop Fizz & Fright Rider/Wrecking Ball/Flameslinger triple.
