I haven't seen anybody post about this yet. I got mine at Target in Canada last night.

Is there a chance you could take a picture of it? I'm just curious to know what it looks like and just so no one has to jump the gun on this. I personally believe you and am just curious is all.

I will when I get home tonight, it looks really nice, the boxart looks better than the Easter version.

Good to hear this. Looks like we'll finally be finished with SWAP Force after this and Quickdraw Rattle Shake are released.

Awesome. My daughter has been looking for Punk Shock and Rip Tide... Now we just need a sale and I'm in

Cool, i saw an easter one yesterday and was thinking about this.

I dont understand . Was Punky never in a single pack before ?

Punk Shock was released in "easter packaging" around easter. We are all talking about her "normal" single pack release. there no differnece other then the packaging.

Ahh i see now . Well there is no Punk Shock over here or probably ever . If i want her i will have to do the Ebay .

hello?

Sorry guys, I've been insanely busy these last few days. Punk Shock is featured in this weeks Target Canada ad, it says available this Tuesday so I guess my store jumped the gun but it's not blocked for sale in their computers.

The games in the background - you have them in hard plastic cases? Doesn't really look like shrink wrap. Where did you get them?! I need one for a GBC game...

Around that leftmost Legend of Zelda (the one half off the picture), it does look like shrink wrap.

I bought them from Ebay originally although the guy that sells on Ebay has his own website with better pricing. The cases are fantastic I have them for all of my game boxes.

I came across this for the week of 8/17/14




Looks like punk will be at target by then along with the start packs being 29.99 again and the buy2 get 1 deal.

I prob will pick up disney infinity for the xbox since ive been looking to get it finally for myself and 30 is cheap Wife and kid got starters on disney launch i decided to wait.

Just because it's not exactly clarified in the thread:
Target.com (USA) says the Pop Thorn and Punk Shock singles are Target exclusives.
It's on a banner in the Skylander category: http://www.target.com/s?search...ders&category=0

Thanks Slayer....

Haven't seen the regular packaged one where I live yet, still keeping an eye out for it.

I was wondering what was happening with this punk. I hope I can get one this weekend.

I'll be jumping on Infinity at $30 though.

Just a bit of an update: I wasn't able to find her today, and no stores nearby have her in stock.

They did have her barcode out, but for some reason, it was under the name "Battle action role play figure."

A similar thing happened with Quickdraw Rattle Shake code, but listen to this; it was under the name "Skylanders Minis."

You really shouldn't bump a 6 month old topic.

Yeah, this thread is pretty old..

Looks like this pack was cancelled/recalled before it was released, so there's no reason to speculate about it.

Unless... are people still able to purchase this in Canada?

isnt this simiar to the dark spyro single that was suppost to be out during spyros adventure that the us never got

Target in Canada had it up until a few weeks ago, but with them all closing and 'clearance' prices I'd guess they are picked over.

Hmmph, I haven't even seen her on eBay Canada like this. Wish I could get my hands on one.

FYI, I bought about 5 Punk Shocks in original package a while back off EBay. They are out there, just wish I didn't have to get them that way.

I have some good news on this front. My wife just found them at five below here in NY.




My guess is stores didn't want them so late in the cycle (it looked for awhile target was only getting them) so maybe they got dumped to five below since we knew from the ones ppl found in canada that some were at least produced in the regular box.

That's nutty. But worth a shot!

Holy crap. That's just plain odd.

I was actually at Five Below earlier. They had Jade Fire Kraken there..

EDIT: Success! Snagged her at a local Five Below! :3

I saw her at Five Below today in NY also, along with Jade Fire Kraken and Quick Draw Rattle Shake!

Wish we had a Five Below down here...my brother wants her as well.

A thought.

These were shown to be Target Exclusives at one point. We saw an ad scan and everything.

These had been found in Canada. That's where mine came from and I seem to think a few other folks mentioned seeing them in Canada.

Were these formerly an exclusive to Target in Canada? And with Target in Canada going out of business, they're ending up in close-out stores?

Makes sense, but US saw ads for these too and they never appeared...now by the truckloads for 50% off at a thrift shop. Bizarre.

Bought 3 pack of SSA guys for basically $6/$10 each with BOGO40. They REALLY want to get rid of these guys now. Bought a 3DS Giants for $10 just for the Punch Pop Fizz at Best Buy. Cheap, Cheap, Cheap.

I got to say though, for anyone who doesn't have Punk Shock, be excited that more of these are entering circulation. She's awesome. After playing Swap Force through again, I think she might be the best character that came out in that game. Wide piercing projectiles, very strong close-range finisher, ranged AOE ground puddles, shocks nearby enemies automatically, fast movement speed, AND stuns things for long periods of time. She's one of the few characters where I routinely use all of her abilities.

Absolutely, as she says: "The best there is". I'm looking forward to replaying Trap Team with my Swap Force favorites to see how they fare. She is on my short list.

Must check mine tomorrow for this. Hated the egg pack for her as it didn't match up with the rest of the girls I have on the wall. >.<

I checked a Five Below near me for Skylanders, and sure enough they had some. Mostly Hex, Ninjini, and tons of PUNK SHOCK!

Yeah, they're spilling all over eBay now. Cat's out of the bag.

The price on her has already dropped from when I was trying to buy one, which I think is a pretty great thing.

Yeah $25 is a bit much. Still kinda PO'd that Giants Bash hasn't seen much love in quantities. Other figures have a sea of overstock...meanwhile this fig goes for $40 new or $20 used on eBay?

S2 Bash definitely went the way of S1 Wham-Shell.

Mine had a bunch of her as well as Jade Fire Kraken and Quick Draw Rattle Shake.

Luckily I found a mistake Punk Shock! Her blue crossbow part wasn't painted gold. i doubt that would make her extremely desirable or anything, but I thought it was rather neat to have a mistake to go with my variant lipstick Chills so I bought that one.

I also noticed that all the packages had tape around the blisters. I'm guessing they finally had enough of them falling apart this late in the run.

Five Below in Princeton, NJ didn't have Punk Shock, but tons of QuickDraw Rattle Shake and Jade Fire Kraken. I checked the ad on the counter which begins March 21st and it specifically shows QD Rattle Shake, Jade Fire Kraken, Wind Up, and Punk Shock with the standard selection may vary disclaimer.
