New figures Nov 18th??? [CLOSED]
Earth-Dragon Blue Sparx Gems: 972
#1 Posted: 15:42:42 04/11/2012 | Topic Creator
The buzz on Oahu is that new figures will be out on the 18th of November. Anybody else have anything on this? Is this just possibly a full release of wave 2, or is this a possible wave 3 date?

This thread is meant to find information not cause further confusion. If you don't have decent info please don't post.

This has to be Wave 3.

Thumpback was planned for Wave 2.

^ 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?

That would be good.. but Thumpback would also be included.

This was something I heard from a gamestop employee and then from a toys r us employee in separate conversations without mentioning the other, but again, this could just be the main dose of wave 2 since all those figures are still super spotty, Hot Head in particular. Please don't get overly excited and overly speculate.

There we go. That was the solid piece of info I was looking for. Nintendo may have struck a deal to have a few goodies saved for them and the Wii U. But this may just mean Thumpback or something if what people are saying is true and he was supposed to be packaged with Hot Head originally.

Well, for SSA:

Hex, Dino-Wrang and Wrecking Ball were out near or right after the game. When the game actually launched (excluding Wave 2 guys) there was really only like 9 more that were left. (brought across like...6 months)

So it's not too crazy I'd say. There's still a lot of characters left, not to mention the variants and stuff.

I'd guess that Wave 3 will probably be out December or so though. So this might be like a soft release of some new stuff. Thumpback would be neat and I'd run over small children for S2 Spyro.

It's hard to remember sometimes because it was new and we weren't all trying to get ahead of the scalpers last time like we are this time. Hot Head validates our paranoia. It's rare and it seems like more copies go to eBay and amazon versus directly into the hands of actual consumers.

Hey, if people are gonna pay for it, why not release them?? It's more money for Activision to precede the Holiday sales! Seems like lots of people are getting their holiday shopping done BEFORE Black Friday this year, instead of starting their shopping then... so they could potentially miss out on more money if people were done shopping by the time wave 3 hits for Blk Fri... I'm not complaining, sign me up!! lol

A few reasons for that.

* Skylanders proved itself last year. This year, they're fairly confident that "if you ship it, it will sell."

* Games in general haven't sold as well this year as in others, with them dropping from $60 to $20 in a couple months. The more Skylanders are available, the better Activision's 2012 Sales Revenue will look. And the better the sales are in Skylanders this holiday season, the more likely stores will "buy deep" and carry a lot of product for NEXT year's game.

* Even if all the standard figures are out, there's no reason why they can't have a wave or two of "special" figures during the spring and summer months. You've got Punch Pop Fizz, could Ketchup-Flavored Hot Dog be far behind? (Granted, it's more likely you'll see figures that just show up as "special" since there's no name data in the game for a Ketchup-Flavored Hot Dog; like maybe a complete set of Glow In The Dark Skylanders for collectors to track down.)


That last point is actually my biggest fear. I don't expect it this year, but NEXT year's game may be where they push the envelope too far, come out with too many 'exclusive' figures and rare gimmicks, and make it so even the most hardcore collectors give up.

"Rare" is in the eye of the beholder. I saw a Hot Head in Target yesterday when I wasn't actively even looking for him. On a MONDAY, so it's not likely the shipment came in that day unless it was delayed from the hurricane or something. Didn't manage to get him (because I figured giving it to the 7-year-old actively eyeing him was more important than ME keeping it), but he's out there.

It's just common sense that the last few will be harder to get than the original wave - your "casual scalpers" have woken up by this point, and by the holidays a lot more kids will have the game open and will actively want more figures. If you want to have a complete set, buying them early before your competition wakes up is the way to go. smilie

Last 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.

So we have either the 18th or the 22nd? So Sunday the 18th vs Thurs the 22nd (aka Turkey Day for those in the US). While I'd rather it was on the 18th for many many reasons, I think it's probably gonna be the 22nd, at least in the Continental US. Thanks Activision. Like I'm not helping out with our Thanksgiving dinner, or need to go to a location further than down the street for the celebration itself. Did you note the sarcasm? Good. I meant it!

I get that they want the monehs and all, but could they NOT make it conflict with a holiday? Of course, the 23rd would be 10 times worse, but at least they could place it on the 21st....

At least I can say I have less to find, but that's assuming TRU doesn't cancel them....they did with LCHex...

Really? My assumption is that they are releasing as much as they can, so their sales will skyrocket (no pun intended) come Christmas time. It's ingenious really. ^^

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.
