Nibelilt I have no interest in Metallic Cynder since she literally has no eyes

You should be happy with an exclusive variant,some places don't have many variants at all,such as Australia and other countries in the EU

EU has 1/3rd of variants and Australia gets GITD Fright Rider since they aren't getting the starter pack with GITD Cynder

Europe has one third of variants?
No.
Regardless, let's not argue over that here please, this topic was designed for what IS coming to AUSTRALIA, not what ISN'T coming to OTHER places.

I would rather have Granite Crusher, I do not care for GITD figures, so I am happy my country gets Granite Crusher, hopefully Sapphire Flashwing, Sidekicks, and Blue Bash, because those are the only ones I care about.

Has it been proven Australia isn't getting Granite Crusher as Target hasn't released their catalouge for the skylanders yet.

Looks like we won't, because Target's catalogs all lack it and nobody else is announcing it. I reckon Big W would have had it in their latest catalog, JB probably won't get two exclusives, TRU already gets Legendary figures, and EB Games has GDC.

But there will be a new catalouge that starts Thursday the 18th which should be online Monday night and I reckon Skylanders giants will be in that one.

The jury is out on Target/Granite Crusher. Target have not had SG featured in a catalogue yet but someone rang head office and they said no. Then again, HO have been wrong before, so that is not necessarily conclusive, either.

I just called the same JB and they said they're still going to honor the preorder and that they haven't been told that they absolutely can't.

I popped into my local JB and she is holding one for me but showed me on her screen that does not have the option for the fright rider exclusive available like your store did - she did not know why.

I should be golden but it is still strange.

Other store is the same as yours now, chaos. They said they're getting about a hundred in, so I actually took myself the liberty of moving my Wii Starter there so I get two. *dodges tomatoes* Sorry if it seems greedy everyone, but at least it means one less scalper has a chance.

But Nibelilt is pleased! ~
I went to EB Games today and guess what they had?
Eeyup! The Wave One stock was in!
Including Slam Bam, Whirlwind, Zook, Ignitor, Trigger Happy, Pop Fizz, Fright Rider, the 3DS POP, the console SPs, both triples- and a first- the GOLDEN Dragonfire Cannon!
I didn't really get a good ton of looks, and didn't even hold Chill or Pop Fizz or Fright, nor any pictures, but tomorrow I will go in with my Portals (to test out the LightCore effects) and snap pictures if they let me. Words cannot express how relaxed and calm I am right now.
Everyone else still says stock will come in on Monday/Tuesday (and EB clearly lacks some of theirs) but, yeah!

I thought it was strictly one GITD fright per customer.

Are eb selling the figures yet or did they just get stock in?

I put that one under another name. I know it's sort of silly, but hey, if they have over a HUNDRED, I think everyone will be a o k.
No, I mean, I put one on preorder for me, and one for my mum.
Seriously, though, may as well. The opportunity is too large.
In fact, I reckon that JB will get OVERSTOCKED on them, because everyone will probably buy the game and figures from the nearby TRU instead. I wouldn't have if there were a very low number coming, though.
... Is doing this wrong?... I know it's cheating, the limit was to keep stock in, but they're going to get a lot of it. What do you guys think, is it bad I'm doing this?

EB Games won't sell them yet, but they have everything except console POPs, 3DS SPs, the three Giants Singles, and standard Dragonfire in.

It's not bad. It's good really. But uh, how much would it cost? I'm thinking of holding one with my murderous fingers.

Well, considering that you need to buy the Starter to get him, the fetish of scalpers is inflating prices, and he isn't announced outside of Australia, I'd say initially about $100, eventually rising in price like Silvers and Golds to a final 210-ish. All speculation of course.

Buy an extra 3DS starter then trade the portal and game back to eb games and sell the punch pop fizz aswell

Is Series 2 Terrafin a Big W exclusive? As I can't find on the EBgame website

^ Nope.

Sorry I didn't want to edit a on topic post for Nibelilt with a post that is slightly off topic. but lets move on in any case shall we..........

Hey guys, I was just curious about what the Aussie hunt was like at release last year... I only started with Skylanders this year with the final wave and was wondering what is was like last year. Was it hard to get certain figures? Did places sell out? Were scalpers a big problem? I just have no idea what to expect :/

My area was very pleasant and scalper-free but got stock less often than most.

Just got back from Work, the Skylanders setup at front of store looks amazing, forgot to take pics but if you're at Moore Park Tomorrow, you can't miss it it's as you come in, looks great.

Got My Legendary Trip/Bouncer and Lightcore Eruptor saved..not sure weather to grab, gonna hopefully grab swarm and Crusher, didn't see ninjini/thumpback and eyebrawl..although we did have a lot of boxes and it wasn't full yet.

I just want to say good luck to everyone hunting tomorrow.

You too Nibelilt Im hoping to find a legend bouncer & triple pack a gitd cynder & fright I will be over the moon with those I have to travel 90km to do this so I hope luck is on my side

May the luck be with you...............

Is the Glow in the Dark cynder available in Aus? If so Where?

not sure on GITD cynder..isn't it at EBgames here?
I have Giants starter pack Swarm and GITD fright rider from JBhifi. Leg Bouncer is coming from TRU. Anyone any ideas on legendary triple at TRU?
My son is SO excited I swear he's gonna burst something!!!

It's there, I got mine put away last night before i left work, we had a fair few of them in as well.

tnx

I'm hoping they might pop up online to save me a LOOOOONNNGG journey

My TRU didn't have any one Legendary Triple. Sad days!
If someone from Aus could find and ship two to me, I would be eternally grateful. (PM time I guess...)

But yeah, I got everything except the Legendary Triple today, and Gnarly Bundle who is coming tomorrow who I will get.

Thought I'd share this...if you can't make it to store on launch day...here's an option...sorry if it's a repost...kinda in a hurry but wanted to share.

83AU dollars gets you the starter pack and the GITD Fright Rider +99 cent shipping

My JB didn't have any of the glow in the dark fright riders but I have it pre ordered.

Got everything else I could today though and Big W aren't selling the PS3 Bundle Until tomorrow.

On my break, holy crap its busy, our store is packed at the front, its good though.

So I bought everything I could find today, the only variants I got were GID Fright Rider, the triple pack legandaries from TRU and Legnadary Bouncer also from true. Target did not have any Crusher Granite variants.

BTW the game rocks .. my two boys haven't let me play too much yet, but it is awesome!

I saw one GITD Fright Rider today in JB HI FI and i got the last Fright Rider in Big W today. I also got the rest of the figures (not including reposed/lightcores).

I was in Melbourne Tue evening and got all excited as I saw in the CBD:

1/. An interactive display at a Dick Smith store where people could press a button to see the video for one of several figs (been shown before in another thread)

2/. A giant 3 sided poster thing in front of a Target encouraging you to take a photo in front of it.

3/. The empty box for the PS3/SG bundle at the same Target - the bloke had no idea when stock was coming in but still cool.


However, yesterday morning was not as exciting:

The KMart had no stock out when they opened and after I waited, only a small amount of stock was put out, even though they had quite a few boxes of stock.

Big W only had a small amount of stock and the manager said that was the only stock they had.

The JB Hifi I had my pre-order at did not get any GITD Fright Riders in and the next store closest no longer existed. I got a call late yesterday from the original store that they had arrived but I had already sourced mine by that point.

Dick Smith only putting stock out that morning.

I checked several Harvey Normans out of curiosity and none had stock out; the best I saw was one store with boxes still packed and in a metal cage on wheels.

Confirmed no Granite Crusher at Target.

Just got my Gnarly Tree Rex I defiantly like his look better than the normal tree rex

Gnarly Rex is epic.

chaos, you did get the Glowie, right?

Glow Fright Rider? Yes - I even finagled it so I was not out of pocket for another starter pack that I did not want. I will not go into details but let's just say that JB are not happy with me but I did not do anything illegal and I am not losing any sleep about it.
