Glad to hear most of you all had a good day finding stuff. Massapequa, Ny let us in at 12 quite a few ppl but nothing crazy. I didnt even think to look at starts past the 1 dark edition I was getting or I might have seen this "golden" one.


Quote: UncleBob
This is the first time in the history of the franchise that I didn't go out and buy *everything* on day one - simply because I couldn't justify paying launch-day prices on six starter packs, two of which would be for systems I don't own and never will. I'd been mulling the decision for awhile, but when faced with the product in front of me last night, I couldn't do it. I *did* buy four starter packs (Wii U, Wii U Dark, Wii Dark, 3DS) and one of everything else (except for Best Buy/GS exclusives, as they don't open for another hour...)

Hoping I don't regret not picking up a non-Nintendo Dark Starter... but I still occasionally see TT Dark bundles out there... Guh. Activision, I put up with a lot out of you... this six starter thing is pushing it. smilie


Pretty much same here, I walked out with the dark ps4 copy and fiesta and his car. Went to target and bestbuy for their exclusives.I went to gamestop and it said the Halloween Fiesta is early there, does this mean he's coming out later at other stores? I got my son it cause i had a 9.99 off from skylanders club.. Normally I end up getting like x2 of everything but this time around I feel a tad overwhelmed with the starter pack issue and plan to sit back and see how things unfold.

Sliiightly disappointed in my run myself.

I couldn't find the Shark Tank anywhere and I really wanted that.

Having no Target here, couldn't get Nitro SS either.

The game is amazeballs though. Love it so far.


Could try ordering both from target.com maybe?

Did anyone find wave 2 figures? I'm at my 3rd store, and...nothing. WalMart didn't even have anything Superchargers related on the shelves. Where is wave 2????

My target at like 1pm still had nothing out until my son asked about it and then they were like oh and started to pull down the trap team things and labels and set up the whole thing. I got to check with my son for chase variants as they put them out, they had a few things. The worst was they had 2 xbox one copies AND NO OTHER ONES. Yes new game and they put two out for a next gen system and nothing for the others. I went back at 10:30pm to get something else we forgot to get and still no change. Im not surprised thou this store got no amiibos on the 11th but got them like a week late.


Quote: Matteomax
Got everything I needed except for the Double Packs and (of course) Golden Hot Streak.


It's somewhere!!! I plan to look all over long island for one, thou I wonder if I want to keep this sealed as it's yes a chase variant of sorts but also it's in a game hmm.

Best Buy had everything that I could tell. Some stuff on a small little display in the main aisle across from the video games, and then down the aisle there was a cart with pretty much all of the toys on it. I spotted some of the Steel Plated Smash Hits on the very bottom. Saw a few adorable kids grabbing everything and marveling at Terrafin. ("Look at dis shark shooter terrafin!" "I LOVVVEEE SHARK SHOOTER TERRAFINNNNN!")

Walmart was absolutely pathetic. I rolled in after noon and nothing was on the shelf. Like really? Were stores not told it was launching today because some of you guys have mentioned stores haven't put anything out and it's really bizarre.

Target had nothing out on the actual shelves too, but no one was really looking at it except for one kid who mistakenly showed his mom Short Cut as a "new" figure. I walked around a bit and over by the cellphones there was one of those rack carts that had a bunch of boxes in there opened. One had already been opened and I was able to pick out a pristine Stealth Shooter with the foam stuff and everything around it. So niceeee.

Frightful Fiesta and SPSH are en route to me, should be here Monday or Tuesday maybe. So not bad, got everyone I wanted. I'll be picking up the game on Black Friday I think, maybe I'll get the 3DS one later on next year.


See above, Walmart sucked this one. Also to note target was surprised i didnt want the starter back when i bought just the nitro item. Trying to explain its for a new game and i "need" to buy it.

You know, I didn't think about that. Didn't think they'd ship over here, to be honest. I might try that with Best Buy's Smash Hit too!

Seems like everyone got what's they wanted! Great! A lot said fiesta and his ride wasn't out. Well it was at my Walmart. If you live in Canada Toronto I'll give you the adress. They had a pretty good stock which is unlike Walmart. No duel packs but I fiesta and his ride.

It was pretty frustrating and underwhelming.

Went to TRU first. With my BB being so...poor...at inventory, I decided to buy everything and return what I couldnt' get at BB at a better price.

No wave 2.

So of the two characters I actually liked - Fiesta and Nightfall, I could only buy one. On the flip TRU DID have the Wii U Dark starter to go with my Wii Dark Starter, so price wise I had a good deal on those.

Then being a family man kicked in and the rest of the morning went to hell. Went to Target where son (4 years old) couldn't act right, got Nitro Stealth Stinger which looked better in person than the pictures (like legendary Jet Vac), and randomly came up on Fear for DI3.0 who I thought was an Amazon exclusive. Went to McDonald's to get the family breakfast hoping that would help matters, wife was edgy, son had gone full tilt 'straight jacket', and daughter (7 mos) is teething and super irritable. Went to BJs to kill time, had the baby blow through clothes, the boy act a fool to the point that after being in BJs for over an hour we had only ONE thing one the cart. Notice its 10:59 and dash to BB. No one seemed to care about Skylanders, so they had everything. So I grabbed everything so I could return the stuff to TRU that didn't make sense to keep. Had a bright spot talking to the guy at the 3D Printer...gawd I want one.

Went back to TRU to return stuff (saved about $20 doign this). Family was burnt out and irritable. Went home spent a good hour unpackaging everything while watching season 2 of Clone Wars. Started playing with son when was forced to watch daughter who doesn't spend anytime in basement (hard rock floors), couldn't enjoy game as I was watching her, driving in the game was HORRENDOUS to control, between being frustrated with the game, frustrated with family, and super tired from the poor sleep cycle I've had lately, I said screw it and took a nap.

Woke up and had to do grown up things for the rest of the evening, so after spending $400+ on Skylanders, I played it for like ten minutes, and my son was so frustrated with the controls that he quit playing and switched to Mario Maker.

Not a great day at all...

I don't disagree that the controls take a bit to get used too--this coming from an adult. Then again I'm not a huge vehicle driving/racing fan. I would argue the controls need to be on inverse.

I will say the game's racing competitiveness will make for some unhappy players in general; happened to my kids yesterday.

Sorry to hear the day went bad. We've all had them. Go back to the game when things quiet down.

Yeah I just know that I won't get to play it for a long while, and my son won't play it without me. Most of my free time isn't free, as I'm working on tons of music and trying to possibly get a new job (don't want to leave, but if the ship is sinking...), so I'm a bit 'agitated' as the bad taste of Sunday will likely lurk until Friday. Maybe by then I'll get my hands on Nightfall...

Went to Target pretty late because we live FAAAAAR away. When I got there, all they had were sea racing packs and Dive Clops. (I can't afford the sea racing pack and I don't want Dive Clops) I was kinda mad because I wanted a Nitro SS

I found the Nitro Copter at Target this afternoon. They still had a lot left, but knowing Nitro releases I bet they won't even get another shipment. I have to say, I find it odd that this is the only way to get Stealth Elf's vehicle right now considering she was a pack-in on many starter packs.

My Day 1 haul was awesome! I bought the Wii U Starter Pack, the Sea Racing Action Pack and the smilie SuperCharged Combo Pack, plus I put the 3DS Racing Starter Pack, the smilie SuperCharged Combo Pack and Sea Shadow on layby. The only other toys I'd like from the first wave are smilie, Sky Slicer, smilie, Dark Hot Streak, smilie, Dive Bomber, and maybe smilie and smilie (the last two aren't out yet, though). smilie

I managed to snag the Wii U starter pack, the Wii starter pack, the sea racing pack, Dive Clops, the Dive Bomber, and the Sea Shadow. My parents always complain that I'm so hard to shop for during the holidays so I gave them a list and they got Frightful Fiesta, the Crypt Crusher, Stormblade, and the Sky Slicer for Christmas gifts.

I'm going to go out tomorrow to try and find the two combo packs.

My Day 1 haul was great.
I got the Wii Dark Edition, the Wii U regular starter pack, Legendary Hurricane Jet-Vac, Dive Bomber and Shark Shooter Terrafin.
I could've gotten more, but my mum didn't let me.

He's currently exclusive to the EB Expo event in Australia, which isn't till October. Needless to say I'm unable to attend, so I won't be getting him anytime soon.
