Idk why they just don't charge a $14 none refundable preorder fee. You get LC hex now, you skip town they got the money for her. You come in for swap force you get $14 off.


Also 39.99 for a starter, going ahve to see if anyone I know wants one as I still have like 3 McDonald coupons.

So you'll get the game for 10$???

I've had hit or miss on this. two different toysrus let you stack them, the 3rd didn't. Still at $29.99 it aint so bad a deal. Walmart also has them at 49.99 now around me.

Honestly, this is what they should do, except charge $20 or $25 for the reserve and make it non-refundable without returning the figure. That way you are paying way more than just the figure for the deposit, encouraging people to keep it. You also kill the scalper market (who might consider eating the cost for the resale value), because anyone can do a pre-order and get one. You also appease the collectors AND rope them in for the next game.

$20 works too. It should be. "Skylanders swap force pre-order: Reserve yours today and receive bonus never released lightcore Hex with mini $20 down payment. Reserve yours today!

The only problem i see here is that they would need to have the supply on them of hand to give out and if they didnt have one they would lose a customer to another store etc. Might be the reason for not doing it this way.

It would be if you follow through with your reservation, other wise you pay double the price. The $20 would go towards the price of the Starter Kit ($75 - $20 = $55 on 10/13/2013

This price senerio is how a few of us think the Pre-Order for Swap Force should happen so that they can give us LC Hex and not have to wait.. The only requirement in place at this time to Pre-Order is to put $1 down and wait for Hex at the time of Swap Force release date.

I would gladly take a non refundable down payment of $20 to get her now, imo. That would give them assurance we won't bail and at the same time give us access to a character that's 8 months late to this party!

Just like her monthly cycle, Aunt Flo is turning out to be VERY unpredictable!

I would be up for that too.

What I cant stand is you put a preorder for the game at, lets just say, gamestop, but then like 2 months away somewhere like walmart gets a better preorder deal or just a better set in general. Like walmart with the GITD bundle.

Waiting on line at gamestop here in ny. 5 groups in front of me.

First in line here!

^

What time is it over there? It's 6:00 in the morning here!

I live in CA

9:43 in Jersey!

It's exactly 6:43 here in California

10 more minutes..

Hope something else is here.

8:12 here. Wow, now I REALLY know how different time zones are.

Ugh.. Wanted a gold horn Whirlwind but I got a terribly painted one.

Time zones are an hour apart each. There's 4. West, mountain, central, and east. I think that's the names. I live in the east, so I'm 3 hours ahead of peeps in Cali.

Matteomax--what do you mean "gold horned?" Are there different colored horns? Regular or polar whirlwind?
Thx

Got mine today. First store was sold out ("I had a line about 20 people deep at 10 this morning!"), so he told me another Gamestop in a shopping plaza had more boxes than they did and had some left. I got over there and they had about 10 left plus about 5-8 Ninjini sitting on the counter behind the register.

I was told that I could get a Sidekick with a Swap Force preorder- so I did for $5...didn't get a poster though lawl. I forgot how cute Gill Runt is, but since this is an extra he's going up online for sale.

The guy checking me out also told me they had a "Swap Force case" that I could get when I picked up the game that retails for $14.99, but with another $5 I could get it with Swap Force. I didn't intend to get Swap Force at Gamestop though so I said no.

Well online info sucks, gamestop.com website said my mall store opened at 8..yeah it wasnt opened. So i went to my store back in levittown and was 5th in line.

I was 5th in line with my son, they had 1 scarlet and a few ninjini, but those were gone by the time we got up there on the line. They were allowing two of each. We scored our two polars, but sidekicks were for a giant only it seems. I did also get a golden battle cannon for my kid even thou he has the silver, figured at $10 its like getting the shroom and chopchop for free.

Needed 2 more polars so went to two other gamestops and scored one at each and 2 ninjinis (one at each). Got two sidekicks terra and trigger snappy. Might head out again in a few before $10 as the wife now wants the golden cannon since its $10 and might as well see if i can find the other two sidekicks.

LOL---Sidekicks for Swap Force pre-order? Apparently anything goes.

Was able to pick up a Skylanders Polar Whirlwind at GameStop yesterday - here's the vlog showing her
