I'm really getting fed up of all these users with their constant "Oh yeah, the other day I picked up all of wave 2, it's no big deal" Seriously! Some people buy like three of each!

You could wait till November

I went to TRU but all the Wave 2 were gone except for some S2. I got those though. And besides, I don't think I can wait that long!

Well I don't get the game Christmas so you sort of know how I feel

Oh. Well, when you get it you'll get all sorts of wave 2!

It really seems like Wave 2 wasn't even realized here...Everyone is fully stocked with their launch stuff, but I've checked both TRU & Walmart for Wave 2 and have got nothing.

Tl;dr I feel you, bro.

not to rare they might get another shipment soon call and ask they might hold someone for you

If they get another shipment...

I think it's already quite nice for them the US get a shot at Wave Two before anyone else so if they got an extra batch instead of them getting sent out to other places it would just be pure greed from Activision.

from what i understand...........

Shipment of Wave 2 was more of a teaser than actual full shipment. it was defiantly 1/5 of Wave 1. And was only send out to places
that didnt have enough of Wave 1 that they ordered.

But you should go to electric section and asks when they usually get a shipment... my Toys R Us told me Friday/Saturday so i was thinking of rechecking on them than =)

flashwing is probably rare at the moment since not everyone has received wave 2 yet. I know i sure havent here. Our stores are fully stocked with wave 1

TRUs in my area only got something like 4 of each of wave 2. Keep in mind that it is still launch week, so I imagine the big shipments will be coming soon.

My TRU had probably 20 of each Flashwing and Sprocket but only 4 Hothead.

Aww when will Europe get Wave 2??? DX CAUSE I NEED TO BE READY FOR CHRISTMAS! If it comes out after Christmas...

Hot Head seems to be the one that they shipped less of. I went into TRU an hour after opening and they had 3 left but about 20 of the other wave 2s.

I went in yesterday to see how well they sold and all that was left was lightcore jetvac and some of the wave 2 s2s.

It's a tough world. My Tru had plenty of all Wave 1 and 2. You just gotta get up early after an email indicating this

I got there at opening time! A pack of five year old shoved us and took everything!

Really? Ugh... Should've done the 1 per customer thing again. Sorry, man

Have you tried other stores? I've been to both Walmart and Target and they have both had full shelves. Granite Crusher is SICK from Target. I had to ask an associate to check in the back and she brought up four...Before anyone rants I only got the one...I might have bought two if I wasn't so broke lol.

Well, yeah, but only TRUs got 2 in Hawai'i. One of the downsides here is that most stock sucks, except for the NEX, main TRU (Not express, the small kind), and Walmart.

Do you think there will be more flashwings out soon or should I try to get one from EBay. I remember last year whirland was a b@@@@ to get him.

Evilbay has some decent prices. Depends how much you like her.

Flashwing will be the new Drobot. People will want tons of her at first, but then she'll become as common as... Um... Soup, because I have yet to describe anything using soup.

I hope so.

Or like Whirly and the Whirly 3-pack. I cannot tell you how many I've seen since mid-spring as opposed to the stock last fall.

Sprocket is the new Boomer and anyone who objects needs to screw it.

By this you mean the least understood and most disliked? Boomer was awesome...never understood the hate.

Toys with high female appeal always go fast and then fizzle out later. it's due to both the nature of having fewer toys with direct female appeal so they are in higher demand and girls wanting things "NOW" but then easily distracted by the next thing.

Exactly.
And I can tell she isn't gonna sell well after the "scalping period" for Wave Two when people will want her just cause she isn't supposed to be out.
She is the new underdog of Skylands... Well, actually I'd say even more than Boomer- because I see a lot of people who judge the characters off looks say stuff like "Sprocket made me like Boomer"(though I think the person who said that particular line likes her a little now).
From what I hear she also has pretty fun gameplay... Just makes her more and more like Boomer. (And I still love that shipping picture. )

Apparently, wave 2 was released one day after the original release of the game. Despite this, I haven't seen any copies in any of the stores i've been since. And while Sprocket isn't my favorite Skylander, she is nowhere near as terrible as Boomer.

I want to give her a try when I can get her....hopefully tomorrow. Her game play trailer looked sick. Her tank mode looks AWESOME. She's the last small giant I need based on what's out. I take it back I still need Shroom but I think I'll wait for his light core....not real crazy about another Chop and a cannon...dumbest idea ever Activision.../facepalm.

Can you guess who it is?

The new underdog from Giants is clearly Shroomboom.

At least Sprocket has a small cult following.

Nobody seems to care about Shroomboom. Heck, I even forget he exists at points.

I used to like him, but yeah, he lost my interest. I like Sprocket better than him, and that's saying something

okay guys my buddy owns his own shop and buys the figures to sell. He told me straight from the manufacture that wave 2 was gonna be out 36 days from toys r us releasing it. And no one could order it any sooner if it showed up it was okay but no place could ask for it.

I still like ....

Again we have to read this from you? We get it ... The U.S. gets preferential treatment with the figs. Get over it.

I thought would be terrible, once I got him, he turned out to be one of my best, next to S2 which is a beast

I think Shroomboom is more like the new Wrecking Ball.

Well excuuuuuuuuuuuse me, princess but it's not much better that you keep picking on my opinion. :T Besides, it's not like I'm trying to say "All Americans suck cause you have Skylanders first!!!1!".
Also, in the TRU topic you told me if I was going to pin the blame on someone, to put it on the cause- Activision- so I did. >.>;

It's not just Skylanders. The USA gets special treatment on a LOT of things, and it's a frustration that only non-Americans can really understand.

WOW...

I saw that in the other thread, but...
Oh my, I'm still laughing harder than I should

Most of the first roll out seem to be readily available, with the exception of three..... I am having a hard time finding Sprocket, Hot Head and Flashwing. Do note that these seem to be the only characters selling for more than their retail value on eBay. It would appear that this "shortage" isn't just in my area. I have been seeing Sprocket characters sell for $20+, plus shipping. And for the record, Shroomboom reminds me a LOT of Wrecking Ball!

Am I the only one who finds it sad that by day two all regular sized Skylanders except for has been released in some way?
Pop Fizz, Fright Rider, and Chill: Wave One
Jet Vac: In the starter
Shroomboom: Dragon Fire Cannon
Sprocket and Flashwing: Wave Two TRU exclusive

^ Nope. I agree. It's just too many. But then again, I like most of them, so...

That's a tough one, really! I agree that you can't play them all at once, and leveling up takes a lot of time. With that said, having to wait for the releases in version 1 was a real pain! Wham Shell was one of the last one's that I got, and a friend on the forum snagged it for me. I really don't know why they wouldn't make them all available at the release, and let people buy them when they are ready?

Deal with it. It's not the fault of Americans that we get the goods. And you can stuff your picture in a sack.
