Swap Force Day One Plans? [CLOSED]

Baww at not being able to buy the game because A)Only enough money to buy a Hoot Loop at most,B )It'll get here waaaay after Day One,C)I'm prioritizing Rayman Legends since I won't have enough time to play SSF before the end of the year anyway :I
I wish good luck to the guys who live in the US though,at least you guys live close enough to good games stores instead of Brazilian game stores that take 2 months to release anything after the right date and then have no idea about games that aren't shooters or the possible GOTY.

Sorry if this has already been done, but what are you gonna do when Swap Force comes out? Who will you put on the portal first? Who will you buy?

I'm gonna pick up the game from Game Stop with Free Ranger (Magna Charge too if I have enough), then put him on the portal first. I'll probably play two chapters and save the rest. I like making my games last.


Gonna buy it.
Gonna let me kids choose who to put on the Portal.
Gonna let my kids choose who they want to buy, but with a pre-determined budget, so that they'll be forced to make "hard" choices (relatively "hard", for very young kids, that is) and learn that they can't have every single thing they want, because money doesn't grow on trees, etc.

Multiple retailers were concerned about how top heavy the giant assortments were and informed activision if they wanted to retain product space year round a figure distribution system that encourages both casual and hardcore fans to buy skylanders all year round had to put in placed. Distribution was asked directly by several MAJOR buyers to distribute key figures more evenly. Remember last Christmas when TRU promoted having new figures and consumers were angry when the NEW figures were all just rereleases of versions they already had. Now imagine if there were key figures that provided content not yet unlocked in the game. It will be interesting to see how consumers react to this and actually continue to buy if key figures are not seen until next summer.

This decision may make consumers angry but it sustains buys for figures throughout a calendar year from a retailer perspective.


I actually want to believe that this information is true, despite any "negative" impact it might have on me as a collector. Nonetheless, I'd like to know your source on this, ItsJustMe. Not because I doubt you, but because I'd like to know where to look for such information in the future.

^Lol.
Will take kids to school, then go pick up pre-order from asda. If they have any of the figures I will buy there as will be cheaper. Then down to tru to get what asda didn't have. Then home for a cup of tea and wait for the kids to get home so we can play it.
The boy has saved plenty enough to be able to afford pretty much most of the swappers and the newlanders.

I am going to the store to look at the lineup, waiting 6 days until my birthday (ya, its always this close to mah b-day) and getting the starter pack for the wii, at least. I might get the dark edition instead. Then the next day with all the birthday money I get, probably around $150 ish, I will buy Hoot Loop, Free Ranger, Nitro Magna Charge/Rattle Shake pack, Countdown, Popthorn adventure, Bumble Blast/Terrafin battle, Roller Brawl, Slobber Tooth, and Zoo Lou. I will wait for S3/2

I know I will be going to Gamestop for Dark Edition and Target for Nitro Magna Charge. Depending upon the deals that are being offered will determine which other stores I hit. My wife will probably be involved in the buying to ensure we get everything. My kids will determine which ones will be first placed on the Portal. I know that they will be playing Swap Force most, if not all, day since they can't do video games during the week.

I'm planning on getting:

The game for the Xbox 360, I'll use the frito lay coupon so that is $65
The guide for the game which is another $20

S2 pop fizz: $10
Slobbertooth: $10
Roller brawl: $10
LC Grim Creeper: $11
LC Flashwing: $11
LC Warnado: $11
Magna Charge: $15
Rattle Shake: $15
Tower of time adventure pack: $25

So that comes to $173, which I luckily have! I can't imagine the tax TRU is gonna give me DX. I'm sad stink bomb, boom jet, trap shadow, spy rise, Scorp, S2 camo, wind up, fryno, and rip tide aren't in the first wave, but hey, I'll just barely have enough to get this and Pokemon Y. That's all that matters.

I'm waking up at 7:00 am, driving to target, and sitting in the parking lot playing Pokémon Y until it opens at 8:00. Then I'm going in and picking up the Wii U starter and the Nitro Magna Charge/Free Ranger double pack. Then i'm gonna go hunt for enchanted hoot loop at Wal-Mart in case it's available before the 18th.

1st: Walmart. I hit them up last time, and they had several chase variants there. Getting up at 5:00 to get there before opening, since they get bombarded with eBayers there. Snag what I need, get Enchanted Hoot Loop, and, if lucky, score a chase variant.

2nd: Target. Snag Nitro Magna Charge and Rattle Shake.

3rd: ToysRUs. Get the Legendaries (again, if I'm lucky, grab a variant.).

4th: GameStop. Whatever exclusive they get.

5th: Best Buy. If they get something exclusive, which is unlikely.

I think I'll put Star Strike on the new portal first, and then admire her until my daughter comes home from kindergarten. Then it's probably time to admire Pop Thorn for quite some time. Then ask my swedish friend, who is also past 40, how his Star Strike admiring is coming along, and if we should admire her together online.

My plan is to get Enchanted Hoot Loop at midnight. Go home and sleep til 7:25, head up to Target when it opens at 8, buy my starter pack, swaplanders, and newlanders. Play for a few hours, get a little work done, run to Gamestop to pick up Tower of Time & Fiery Forge, then probably get some other stuff done to start the week.
