I remember some people here were crying foul when someone showed a pic of a normal Dragonfire Cannon Battle Pack that wasn't GS exclusive.

Well, I can say it's not fake. Why? Oh, no reason, but...

http://www.toysrus.com/product...ductId=15854536

... toysrus.com has it instock for shipping right now.

EDIT: They also have 1 of the three new Mega Bloks sets instock for shipping.

Whelp... There you go...

I'll let you guys know if it does anything different to the Golden one...

Wait, this means I'm going to have THREE CHOP CHOPS AND SHROOMBOOMS! What sorcery is this?

Yeah, I got my order in as well. Time to see if toysrus.com honors their listing. I just ordered 2, because I have 3 of the Golden version on preorder at Gamestop.

I wouldn't worry about the Cannon so much because the silver version probably isn't an exclusive.

Yeah, I only plan on opening one of them. I still want 1 of each variation to open and keep sealed. So one normal cannon open and one sealed, as well as one golden opened and sealed.

I'm gonna try to do that, but it'll just be so hard, if all the variants like Nightmare Ninjini and Mustard Hot Dog ARE different figures/characters. It's not that I don't like variants, it's just that they are making way too much in this game, not to mention the six new Legendaries, Mold Rex being a PS3-set exclusive, and the possibility of others being even more exclusives. I just wish they make all the variants obtainable in all countries, at least, for once, but with Glow Cynder only being UK exclusive so far I doubt it.

I hope they do variants like they are so far with this game, in that when a variant is released, it's released exclusively to a store (ie Granite Crusher, Gold Flameslinger, GitD Cynder).

It makes it so Activision can maximize profits off of repaints, but those who want them, don't have to pay too much for them.

The only problem is there are six big skylander providers just in the states alone. If you do one exclusive variant to each one per wave it adds up fast

That Mega bloks set sounds like that set we saw with chill.

They have 3 sets listed on toysrus.com, but only 1 is instock.

*slams face into desk* these darn variants, man! I'm tired of making life decisions of which store to go first at which time to get which character let alone variant..... time to stock up on java monsters for the big day.

Is that mega blok set still going to happen or was the idea scrapped?

There are three Mega Blok sets listed on toysrus.com as we speak. One of those is instock.

I will just wait until I see them at the store, before I buy them.

Glad this isn't a Gamestop exclusive, since I really don't care about the battle item, and only wanted it for Chop-Chop and Shroom Boom anyways. That's one less stupid exclusive I have to worry about not getting in Canada. : )

I got a shipping confirmation. I can no longer cancel the item. Looks like this is the real deal. I am getting some Skylanders Giants merch in early. I will take pics and post them here, when I get them in.

It's still hard to believe. I ordered one, but I'm still skeptical until somebody has them in hand.

I'm sorry, but I am NOT buying this. I love the way the regular one looks, but all the new Giants stuff is burning a hole in my pocket. Maybe I could ask for this for Christmas...

Interesting... If its available at the stores, I'm gonna have a seizure..

ok here is my plan of action
- get all giants
- all new figures
- all legindaries
- 3 lightcore
- 10 or so seires 2
- maybe a few variants

All of the Mega Bloks are now "out of stock" and only available in stores... when I looked at the local store they didn't even have a place for it on the shelves yet... I just ordered the cannon pack tho even though I preordered the golden cannon pack from GameStop, I wonder if it will really arrive before the Giants game is released!!! *fingers crossed*

You have a camera GameMaster.
Take a picture and make sure its the correct kit.

Wait, what does the regular Cannon Battle Pack look like?

It's silver and it has blue fire instead of red fire. Someone posted it on a Spanish (?) site, but I'm too tired to find the pic...

Its a grey/silver version and it has blue eyes/flame instead of orange.It acttuly looks way better

I agree, it looks far better. Even if the paint is just gonna be grey, heck, it doesn't need to shine, the overall theme of it is so much nicer.

The Mega Bloks "Troll Mech Ambush" is now in stock for shipping and there are pictures of all three sets up finally.

Too bad there are not two sets in stock at the same time to get the 40% off... :-|

Enjoy.

Could you please post a picture?

WOW! Mine shipped as well. This is too funny. They can't keep Wham Shell in stock, but a street date broke Skylanders Giants Battle Pack isn't sold out? Sigh, only us humans.

Heres the only image I could find.Sadly its the golden one but just imagine its grey and has a blue flame

Well, I saw the GREY one somewhere. Come on guys! Let's search!

^ Here it is =):

I just got mine. It stinks that i cant play with shroom boom though

Mine shipped as well. I'm completely shocked. Did they get permission to sell these early?

I geuss. Shroombooms figure looks so cool up close. I can't believe i already have him.

Post pic PLEASE?? I need to see the physical thing!

Has anyone tested S2 Chop Chop in the game?
Also, post pics of the silver cannon!

If they come up on eBay, expect the first one to go for a LOT.

If they just shipped this afternoon, how did you get yours today?

dspyro - pics or it didn't happen

I know a guy at toys r us that gave me 1 day expedited shipping. I ordered it August 26. A day before this topic was up.

^ Sounds suspicious.

I would highly suggest editing that post.
