No...sadly Giants isn't my top priority...Halo 4 first, THEN when I'm done with that its on to Giants...but only after...

I am more pumped for Giants, but Halo 4 will be cool too!

I just realized my trip fails to go by Big W... So I'll probably go to Highpoint someway heading back, cause there's one there. I think there MIGHT be one near TRU. I need to confirm what stores are near me cause I plan to visit at least one of each type to check for exclusives.

Edit, my mapped plan is to go to these places and stores in this order.

Area 1: K-Mart
Area 2: Toys'R'Us -> Big W -> GameTraders -> Target -> EB Games
Area 3: Big W
Area 4: Big W -> Target -> EB Games
Area 5: Target -> EB Games

Yah, I have a lot of EB Games stores near me. Too bad I only have one Toys'R'Us, though, I would have loved to go to some other stores first.

I would give GameTraders a miss if that involves a dog leg in the trip. They are simply a franchise specialising in the 2nd hand gaming market and have no clout to obtain any exclusives.

Indeed, there is no longer one near me but the one that is the closest now actually buys their SSA figurines from Big W / KMart when on special to sell at RRP or a bit more - lame! I don't think they ever got wholesale stock in?

I'm not even sure GT gets the figures, but they're right next to Area 2 Target anyway, so I will be checking them.

I'll be going to wal-mart first as it opens at 10am. Buy some figures before I go pick up the game which i pre ordered at eb games. because i know the manager and i pre order almost everything there. They open at 11 or 12 here on a sunday, i forget but will find out soon. Then i'll be going to toys r us which is in the mall, and i know theyll for sure open at 12pm.

What store opens first

Walmart stores are open 24 hours daily so I'll see what new Skylanders they have there on the release of Skylanders Giants

So i cud go at 12 am to get skylanders

But cud I

^ I would call up and ask all of your local stores that sell Skylanders when there are only a few days left until the launch of Giants, just to play it safe (I don't think that too many stores will be doing a midnight release, if at all).

K thanx

^ No problem =)! I wish you good luck finding information on that and hunting for Skylanders =).

Now that I know my EB takes instore preorders, I'll only be checking one of each kind of store for exclusives, rather than visit everywhere. Though I will be visiting two Targets as I have a feeling if they sell Granite Crusher here, he will come in increduridiculously low stock.

Okay, new plan: Head to Area 1 K-Mart, head to Area 4 Big W and Target, and head to Area 5 Target and EB Games. Going to TRU simply isn't worth it. This plan still covers all the stores except GameTraders and TRU and it looks like the former isn't getting anything and the latter is not getting the Legendary Triple so soon in Australia.

With all the preorders going around I don't need to worry about not getting Legendary Bouncer(I'll wait for him to ship to me cause he's just a reskin), and even if they do get the Triple on the first day(which I doubt at this point), I reckon they will have at least a few left for the next days.

If any other Aussies find the Legendary Triple, please tell me so I get it before it's out of stock, though.
