I really wish they would release their older sets first before releasing so many new things at once.
If they haven't even considered finishing the Giants with Ninjini, I highly doubt we'll be getting all 16 Swappers.

I have to agree, here in the UK I have yet to see any MB Swap Force product on the shelf, and there's still a few Giants sets that haven't seen release here either.
On a different note, I really hope the Prism Break BP hasn't been cancelled.


EDIT: Apologies for double posting!

I found sprocket's heroic turret at big lots, the price tag said $12.00 but when it rang up it was a whopping $5.00. I might go back for Troll tank gun down. On a side note I've seen normal hot dog, stump smash, and eruptor battle portals but no molten hot dogs yet.

MMMUUUUUSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTT GGGEEEETTTT


So, apparently, one of the sets (Another Battle Arcade, this time including Hot Dog and possibly Zook or another Life character) went unreleased in the Giants line. I wonder if they'll release it in SWAP Force packaging? I also wonder if there were any other planned sets that never saw the light of day?

That set was completely cancelled when Mega realised the Battle Portals weren't quite catching on. It's going to be the new spinners from here on out.

Was it Zook?

And do you know about any other cancelled sets?

I'm fairly positive it was Stump Smash as I remember seeing a pic.

Wasn't it on here? A Mega Bloks employee posted a picture of their "Skylanders room", and it had a few sets on there.

If it was somewhere else, could you post a picture?

There is no Zook I remember the pictures from the Toy Fair/Comic Con.

I wish the thread still had a Mega Bloks correspondent. It's easy money, guys! I'm doing your job for you.

I miss good ol' Matt.

Same, he was really helpful.

Thanks for doing all of this, Diggeh! It's been really fun.

^ Yeah, thanks Diggeh! I love this useful thread!

Same here. And according to a Mega Bloks rep, we likely won't see any of the other exclusives over here either.

I spied the Collectors pack thing at Target the other day.



Pretty cute little set, but I'm a bit surprised that it was the only Swap Force branded thing they had out.

Is the Color Change Spyro or Silver Eruptor sets out yet? I really wanna grab those things if I can haha.

Oh snap I saw these too. $5 though? Thats amazing. I gotta go and see if my Big Lots still has those. They had a bunch before Christmas.

Finally was able to find Boss Tank Gundown today... Really cool set and I like both figures, but my Wash Buckler isn't too impressed...



(If you can't tell from the pic, the paint on his eyes is messed up so it looks like he's rolling his eyes).

The two that I have are similar to that.


Has anyone found the Legendary pack? I. NEED. IT.

It looks like the champion figure pack is available on amazon now!

^Matteo my TRU has 3-5 of them. You mean the Bouncer, Chop Chop, and Jet Vac set?

Nah, I meant the one that we just found out about.

EDIT: ToysRUs has the Spinners listed on their site, but they aren't in stock yet.

And the Champion Figure Pack is in stock there!

AND the Rattle Shake Spinner is in stock!

Oh wow, somehow I missed that! It looks fantastic!

I have yet to see any Swap Force MBs at Walmart or Target (I've seen the Hex 4 Pack in SSF branding but that doesn't count to me). I'd say that doesn't bode well for the longevity of the line. Even if they do eventually get to Target/Walmart they most likely won't sell well as interest in 2013 title will be on a steady decline. I just don't understand why they wait so long into the game's cycle to release the new styled toys. The SSF MBs should have launched on the same day as the game.

At least here, Target and Walmart have yet to re-set since Christmas (not unusual, the new fiscal year starts Feb. 1). I wouldn't worry about it unless they're no where to be found in the new year's resets.

UPDATE: I haven't found the Spinners yet, BUT someone else posted a video on YouTube, showing off all 4 of them.

What channel?

I found the Freeze Blade and Rattle Shake spinners at TRU yesterday (the rest were gone), but I passed for now. Can't afford spending $10 on one Swapper figure and a top right now.
If these had come out around Christmas time, I would've bought them all on sight!

C'mon, Prism Break!

I still haven't been able to find any of these new sets. It stinks that they take forever to ship them out.

Well I know rattle shake won't be at my walmart anytime soon. They haven't even stocked zeppelin airship attack yet.

All of the Spinners are IN-STOCK on ToysRUs.com!

50% off on battle portals at walmart! My mother got me molten hot dog and drobot as an early valentines gift!

Maybe someone can help me.

I am looking for a green package series 3 gil grunt.

I have the series 2 orange package but looking for the series 3 green.

Also most of the new ones that are out seem to never come to Minnesota.

I just got the 2013 Toy fair exclusive Washbuckler I will post a pic later

Prism Break battle portal may be out in the wild... in Canada, and maybe the US.
I'm apparently being sent one from Canada so I'll let you know if it turns out to be true or not when it arrive to me, in the UK.

Also good news for UK people:
I found listings for the Champion Figure Pack on woolworths.co.uk, so when it arrives in the country it should be available to buy on there

I want the purple cynder!

I saw the champion pack and Swapforce-packaged battle portals at Toys R Us today.
There was a small display box for battle spinners but they didn't have any.
They didn't have any other other Swapforce-packaged sets.

I bought a Blast Zone spinner a week ago, and it came today. It's pretty cool.

Yep, Prism Break must finally be starting to trickle out. Just found a listing for one on eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mega-B...=item25897119c2

I have that one really cool!

This is what I know so far of the 2014 line-up:

- More 'Spinners'
- More 'Hero Figure Packs'
- 'Cut Throat Carnival' set
- 'Fire Fortress' set
- 'Pirate Cove' set

Pictures to follow in a few days, from NYTF.

Can't wait! Fingers crossed for Spy Rise and Doom Stone to make an appearance!

Cutthroat carnival may finally have regular swarm!

@ Matteomax: They probably will have night shift because he has a legendary mega blok.

Another year, another hope for Sonic Boom and Whirlwind!

Prism Break's Portal just arrived! He's pretty cool.

and hope for the Warcraft bloks

According to Mega, the Warcraft and Starcraft lines still have no planned releases for 2014. It seems to be a dead line, but Mega are being very vague about the future of it.

It seems as though the sets are finally making their way to the UK. Hamley's in London had almost all of the new Swap Force sets.

I've read a bunch of mixed rumors, from "fans will look forward to 2014" or the entire line being canceled, etc.
But there's basically a full wave that's been in limbo so far, so who knows.

This is the URL to keep an eye on.

With my local Targets and Walmarts still not having any Mega Swap Force stuff (Sans the exclusive 4 pack) I'm VERY suspect about the longevity of the line and won't trust anything they show at TF to actually make it to the shelf until I see it there. Just look at all the Warcraft stuff they showed last year and it never made it to the shelf.

I just don't think that TRU sales could possibly prop up the line given that the big two seem to luke warm to it.

They need to print out newer characters and more mini-sets.

Bad news guys, no pics are being allowed of the Skylanders sets at Toy Fair.
All I know is there were castle-y sets and they only showed 1 new character from Skylanders 4;
'The character I saw was a lion and was completely gold colored. It was a metallic gold and it seemed to me the lion was a character that always had walked on the 2 legs. A king of some sort. It’s mane was impressive, similar to that of Aslan from the Chronicles of Narnia'

I wonder which SWAP characters were there

Wow, looks like Toy Fair was a total bust this year. Thanks, Acti.

And, wow. Sounds cool.
