Quote: Rand O MQuote: Nibelilt ^ If true... Maybe there'll be Wave 2.5 with just the second Battle Pack? Like when they just released LTH and Dragon's Peak?
Quote: Takadox360Thats toooo much for a wave I think wave 3 is Battlepack
Thumpback*crossfingers*
Eruptor,PrismBreak Drobot WreckingBall,StealthElf
Chill,,Shroomboom Light-core
EDIT:Who else thinks that the waves are comming too fast last year wave 3 was in january.
Quote: ZapNorrisI think it is the full release of wave 2 and Thumpback.
He was shown in the Wii U trailer
Quote: Eyebrawl4616Last time, here were the waves:
Wave 1: Game Release Date
Wave 2: November 11th or so
Wave 3: Mid to late January
Wave 4: Early April
Wave 5: Sometime in June
There's at least 2 months between waves. For Giants, there wasn't even a month between wave 1 and 2
Wave 1: October 21st
Wave 2: October 23-28
Wave 3: Predicted to be mid November
Wave 4: I'm guessing early-mid December
I guess kids were losing interest between waves, so they shortened the length.
Quote: TheLurkTRU Bellevue, WA will be open 8pm Thurs 22nd for Black Friday deals and will have wave 3 then. ''' I just called them a few minutes ago and confirmed it.
Ok problem. I'm not trying to say anything to offend you, but I just dont believe any of this would happen at all, except for taka's post.
@ Nibelilt: I highly doubt a wave 2.5 just to release the second battle pack.
@Takadox360: Your post seems logical. The release of one giant is good along with two Lightcore
And a few s2 along with the battle pack. But, it makes the most sense if wave three for giants comes out around that time. IMO
@ZapNorris: like I said, why would they make a wave 2.5 JUST to release Thumpback and the battle pack. Dumb idea for them to do that IMO.
@Eyebrawl4616: Just no. Your list is innocent, but they wouldn't release it in a four month period, then they would be done for. Most likely wave 3 in Janurary and wave 4 in Feburary or march.
@TheLurk: see you just cannot go off what an employee says. They could be absolutely wrong and just saying you called and confirmed doesn't prove anything. Why?
Reasons:
1)I just can't believe it because this is just from one person, not from a majority.
2) There is no physical proof other than you just putting it out there that it is.
3) You can't go off what employees say most times because they get confused and they may not even know at all.
It's just hard to grasp that that will happen seeming how wave 2 JUST came out less than a month ago.
I've been checking for anything physical to prove the release date, but nothing yet. I think I talked with a manager for the Bellevue TRU. I DID find proof that they're definately opening Thurs evening though.

Click on the Official Rules link on the contest page. It tells you that the winner will be allowed to shop an hour before the official Black Friday opening, and in a later part of the rules that the time would be between 8pm and 9pm Thurs. I think there's probably easier ways to find this out...or there OUGHT to be...I don't know about you, but I'm kinda ticked. I checked EVERYTHING just to get this....are they waiting for it to be a week away or something?!
I know I don't have physical proof of the 22nd being the release date, but....it really does make logical sense. Right now TRU still has SSA figures for sale. They also have the earlier waves of Giants to deal with. Considering the demand on Black Friday, they could easily clear out a significant portion of those figures, while selling the new ones within hours. Add the WiiU into the mix too and you have lots of excitement. I think the better question than "why would they do that?" is "why WOULDN'T they do it?". I doubt the other stores will feel differently about this. Activision wants its moneh for the season, and Black Friday is a HUGE portion of their sales. The economy has been in the tank too. Last year, they slowed their momentum and lost buyers due to lack of new figures at the right time. They won't make that mistake again if they can help it! They want you to buy and buy NOW! Stores are gearing up to have early sales coming up to Black Friday and even up to Christmas. It sounds crazy, yes, but from a retail position, they may feel they don't have a choice.
