Kmart.com has Ninjini, Hot Dog, Spyro, and Wrecking Ball up on their site; however, they do not have an image available and they are not in stock. They also have Lightcore Hex and LC Pop Fizz listed with an image but not in stock.

Not sure if this is just something Kmart online does (i.e. list placeholders for everything) or if it is an indicator that these will be available in the next Wave.

Same thing for Gamestop online. Figures are listed but the images are not of the actual bubble packs and not in stock.

Last time this happened thumpback and eyebrawl showed up in GameStop 2 days later. Not saying it couldn't be a coincidence....but web developers (like myself) tend to update ecommerce sites ahead of inventory arrival. That way they don't have to here people call web and IT departments freaking out because "we cant enter it into the system...it's broken...my computer has a virus....etc." lol

Gamestop.com has all the same placeholders even a couple sparkle variants but they have had theirs up for about a week or so now

Yea, GameStop has had theirs up for a while now. But they always have theirs up relatively early.

discshop.se in sweden just added Wrecking Ball, Spyro, single pack Shroomboom and single Hot Dog to their website today for pre-order with the only date given as March 2013

no Ninjini, no LC Hex, no Drobot S2

Well, this week was a big dud in terms of Skylanders. Not that I knew it wouldn't be, but still...

It gets kind of frustrating when people post false info and dates, which gets people checking/wasting gas, only to be met with no results.

WOW! Nice find!

LightCore Chill too!: http://www.gamestop.com/toys/s...ter-pack/106038

Lightcore Pop Fizz!: http://www.gamestop.com/toys/s...ter-pack/106008

Ninjini!: http://www.gamestop.com/toys/s...ter-pack/105999

!!!!!!!!

Being up on Gamestop's website like that means Ninjini could be in any time now. Back when Hothead, Flashwing and Sprocket were only supposed to be a TRU, Gamestop had them on the website like this 2 days after TRU released them. Showing online only but unavailable. I found one of each at my local Gamestop that day.

Looks like the window was accurate. They didn't quite make Friday, but I would be shocked to see them any later than Tuesday of next week....

YAY!!!! and s2 !!!!!

release them NOW! cant wait and excited hehe gl and happy hunting all!

How come other countries are able to preorder figures and we can't? This hunting wouldn't be so full of bs and scalpers if they would just let us preorder figures and have actual release dates. I hope they fix this for swap force. Do they rely think we enjoy all the bs we have to go thru to find their product?

Funny how people predicted Walmart and TRU, but it's GameStop that appears to be the place...

There is no indication that ALL the remaining characters will be released in W4...here are the new figures to expect:

Of the remaning characters: Spyro, Wrecking Ball, Shroomboom, Hot Dog, Ch... (can't remember if I was writing Chop Chop or Chill), LC Pop Fizz, LC Chill, Ninjini. The rest will be previously released characters. Scheduled to be released on 3/1 plus or minus a week.

This info wasn't hard to come by if you spoke to the right people at the Toy Fair

As stated before, slated for 3/1...which is a Friday. If trucks don't get the product there by Fri, then Mon 3/4 is more likely.

@bluerosedruid
Which shop did you go to? Please be specific...

A friend of mine in NYC got her for my family at the TRU giveaway. Just got it in the mail today thanks to east coast blizzards and slow postal service. Sorry I don't have a shop to tell you I got her from, all info I have seen says she will be available soon though, Gamestop has her up on the website now though still unavailable for orders

Well it looks like we should see em' march 1st.

Ninjini? Ninjini! When in the US? WHERE??? I MUST KNOW!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to err on the side of optimism and say that, if the estimate is plus or minus a week, it will probably be minus that week given GameStop's history. I've got to caution everyone not to wait until Friday to start calling them, because box art to product in store with that particular company has historically been only two or three days....

I guarantee preorders will be BS from now on to.

When Giants first came out, preorders were hardly filled. Now, most EB Games have more preorders than stock.

I'd be shocked if my store alone doesn't get at least 30 Ninjini preorders. They had 15 Eye-Brawl preorders but 14 in stock. Now that people in my area obviously know it's possible to preorder word will spread more and they will fill up the slots fast.

My EB Games are babes to me- if they hadn't CALLED me when they had their last two of those Giants in stock I'd probably still be hunting for them.

This was all on the day they were released. At about 2 PM is when I got the word.

I expect california sightings wedensday.

Well, they did have package art up on Gamestop.com for EB and TB for about a week before they showed up, if not 2 weeks.

I will be calling my friend at Gamestop everyday this week, just to be sure. However, I am leaning on by the end of the second week or March before we start seeing new stuff.

the window is...

3/1/13-3/10/13

Yeah, I'll be calling them too. No harm in that. Fortunately, though, I'm in Texas, so there's no such thing as figures showing up by complete surprise. California will be my warning that I need to physically start going to the store the following day, but it would be crazy to expect the first sightings to be where I live, so I'll at least have some advance notice. I'm calling Tuesday in Cali, Wednesday or Thursday here. I could be wrong, but really, every "insider" prediction we've seen so far has ended up being substantiated. Even the 22nd was proven valid when Molten Hot Dog appeared as if from nowhere, so I know better than to doubt certain forum members at this point.

I know there are ALOT more game stops in my area then I thought.

At what point will Gamestop know whether or not they have them in stock? If I arrive at 10:00 every day next week, will they have gone through their boxes yet?

Boxes usually arrive between 11:00 and 12:30 pretty much nationwide, from what I can tell. That's the window you're aiming for.

I'll call around then.

According to the manager at my fave Gamestop, they pay for early delivery. Usually the boxes get there anywhere between 10 and 11 but they don't have time to get them into the system until around an hour or so later. I plan on calling to talk to him to see if he will hold a Ninjini for me when she comes in, like he did for Eyebrawl and Thumpback.

Someone here HAS THEM. they are shipping out NOW.

No proof of your claim. Attention-seeking~

Stock images on GameStop

areyou****inblind~

TRU has doubled down on their "buy one, get one 40% off": it extends to this week as well. Doesn't bode well for predictions that wave 4 will arrive this week. More than likely a final week push to clear shelf space for wave 4 (I hope).

I will post this for people who think that Spyro and Wrecking Ball are for sale in the netherlands... Saw this on ebay last night.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/TOY-FA...=item20cf7d5a27

Notice that this is a EU version of the Exclusive Toy Fair Chop Chop.... Maybe instead of giving out Ninjini they gave out wrecking ball and Spyro instead. The Chop Chop also came from the Netherlands.

But we have stock images on GameStop.

been waiting for that new spyro. it is the only variant i am getting this time...

Yep!

Spyro!!

You've lost all the respect I had for you. He wasn't attention seeking, he was trying to bring news.

And I see you didn't read the previous comments before this page. My comment was made when Zap didn't post any proof of his claim and before he added in the stock images.

I wouldn't be suprised if these showed up Monday.
