I've checked all my local stores, there has been nothing new except for a single pack sun runner. The rest is just wave 1 and 2 hanging around in pegs.

2 segment antennae Thrillipede vs 3 segment antennae Thrillipede.

errors are not for us, but someone on this site may be interested to check their local shops for 2 segment antennae Thrillipede.

this is not our posting, we dont sell our skylanders.

Wasn't aware of this. I'm still waiting for eggcitted thrillipede to get out at my country. If i see a two antennae one, I'll probably get it,just for feeling of having an error variant in my collection.

Here's the press release about the Power Blues:

Quote: Press Release
SKYLANDERS AND AUTISM SPEAKS PARTNER FOR AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH WITH LIMITED-EDITION SKYLANDERS SUPERCHARGERS TOYS

Leading into World Autism Awareness Day on April 2,
Collaboration Brings Attention to Important Cause
that Supports Affected Kids and Families around the World


SANTA MONICA, Calif. - February 29, 2016 - To support the millions of families affected by autism, Skylanders®, the beloved kids videogame franchise, and Autism Speaks, an organization dedicated to autism science and advocacy, invite fans to "Light it up Blue" with one-of-a-kind toys. Through this creative collaboration for April's Autism Awareness Month, Skylanders and Autism Speaks are raising awareness for an important cause -- and in true Skylanders fashion, are having fun while doing it.

"Autism affects one in every 42 boys and one in 68 children in the U.S. We're proud to work with Skylanders, an iconic franchise that's known for bringing joy and magic to kids and families," said Peter Morton, vice president of Corporate Development at Autism Speaks. "This year's Light it up Blue campaign for World Autism Awareness Day marks our first alliance with a videogame and toy, and we couldn't be more excited."

The new series of Skylanders SuperChargers toys are blue and white to reflect Autism Speaks' official colors. The "Power Blue" Skylanders SuperChargers feature Splat and Trigger Happy, as well as their SuperCharged vehicles Splatter Splasher and Gold Rusher -- all of which appear in-game as their special colors. The toys are on store shelves now at participating retailers in the U.S. and Europe and will be available starting April 1 in Canada.

"When my son was diagnosed with autism, I felt very alone. From my first Autism Speaks Walk, I felt the power of community, and this partnership with Skylanders will bring awareness and belonging to kids and families in a unique way," said Matt Asner, director of Corporate Development, Autism Speaks.

"Since the debut of the franchise, we've heard from parents that Skylanders plays a special role in the lives of their kids on the autism spectrum," says Josh Taub, senior vice president of Skylanders Product Management, Activision. "The entire Skylanders team was deeply committed and proud to bring these special toys to life. If they can put a smile on a child's face, then we know we've done our job right."

In addition to creating the Power Blue Skylanders SuperChargers and bringing them to life in game, Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI) is launching employee education and employee-donation matching programs in connection with Autism Awareness Month. Additionally, in recognition of World Autism Awareness Day, employees will have the opportunity to participate in the Autism Speaks Walk on April 2 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Activision is also making donations to non-profits that are making a difference in the autism community.

Oh, so it's Activision's thing, not just collaboration with TFB. Well, creative is lacking in those variants, and now that there's a press release, time to really brace for outsiders thinking the fans are "problematic" for "supporting" because if you know tumblr and friends they have to let people know they don't like it.

Yuuup it's starting, skylanders tag on tumblr full of people now saying that the franchise and its creators are totally at fault for this. Flame shields at the ready if any of them decide to wander here.

I've tried to at least damage control with a PSA to the tag mentioning we've got nothing to do with this, but it probably won't work for the man/womanchildren that just want to kick somebody while they're down. But they're not harassing any kids on my watch(as in where I can run into it) >:I

Back to topic, that said they didn't even explain yet what's Light It Up Blue. It doesn't light up, and it's kind of a melancholic pattern on them that doesn't feel like it'd cheer up anybody's day especially when they're usually colorful.

Those are some odd packaging designs. Not only the background makes the elemental backdrop disappear because it's the same color, Trigger Happy has eletricity behind him for some reason?

You'll pay a bit loose, all trophies are as expensive as a figure last time I checked on ebay, not including shipping since for me that bumps up to paying the whole pack for just that.

Getting a Land Trophy cheap will be tough, given it is new and is unlikely to be sold separately for a price low enough to justify it. I'd just try and get a Land Racing Pack for half price at Gamestop on Saturday, then sell the figures you do not want if you can, you might even be able to trade in Trigger Happy and Gold Rusher back to Gamestop on the spot if you don't want them - but not for very much. Or you can wait a few months for the price to fall as people tire of the game and sell it off used.

The other problem with the land trophy is you actually need it on the portal for some events, it's not a register and be done. So I'm guessing it's unlikely someone will simply part with it.

People with no interest on villains can though, since you only need it once to unlock The After Party and Triggs' challenge.

That electricity effect looks exactly like the one in supercharged vehicles' artworks.

It could be a mistake or it could mean that Double Dare Trigger Happy is so cool and extreme he doesn't need Gold Rusher to be at his best.

Eh, could be. smilie

PB Splat and Splatter Splasher were the best done.
The other two could've used a bit more paint

They got themselves into this. It isn't the first time a company went into a promotion with a charitable organization that generates some controversy. Chili's had one set up a few years back with a more explicit antivax autism charity and after backlash they had to outright cancel it and admit they didn't do their homework. Too often is the case where a corporation does this thinking about little more than the tax deduction and the publicity.

I'm glad it generates attention, honestly some of these charitable organizations play on sympathy to forward bad agendas or to outright enrich a small group of their executives.

Nah, this isn't bad on Skylanders - the problem is more with them not doing their homework on the organization than anything. And the fact that the money could be much better used at a more worthy autism charity. But, this sort of stuff happens all the time.

I just got PB Splat and Satanic, I mean Eggcited Thrillipede and wanted to say something about their figures. PB Splat looks gorgeus just like her regular version, though unlike the regular one her staff isn't bent. As for Eggcited Thrillepede.... well he's certainly a variant of his own. I like the pearl white coating though they could've added more shades of white. Good work on painting the bunny part and eggs, it looks very clean. I'd recommend PB Splat to everyone and E Thrillepede only if there aren't anymore variants that speak to you (and will eat your soul).
