23 figures in total on day one.
No Sprocket.
No Flashwing.

perfect meme pic for the perfect time.
I like the round up i guess, but
about all my top faves are not there.
atleast we have pop fizz and shroom boom.

On the plus side, I like all their choices for Giants.
BUT, of the new characters I'm only looking foward to playing Pop Fizz a lot,
And I DESPISE all their choices of Series Two and LightCores.

I also noticed the LightCores have holographic cards and that they still say they won't work with SA on the box. smilie

light core prism break and eruptor.
how suprising.
Nibelilt Ripto Gems: 401
#7 Posted: 08:26:22 01/10/2012
I'm so annoyed they're bringing out Drobot, Eruptor, Trigger Happy, Drobot, Prism Break and Chop Chop all out on day one AGAIN. Not one of the available LightCores will be a new character, either. smilie

I hate that too, they could've done light core chill, and done a wave 3 character in 1st wave, and a wave 1 or 2 skylander in one of the last waves for variety.
we could be lucky that they may have forgotten a skylander or a few...

And they also could have put in LC Pop Fizz. If they put in LC Pop Fizz and Chill instead of LC Drobot and Prism Break, they could have put in Flashwing and Sprocket with them with no Elemental loss. smilie

Everything went...
Worse than expected.

yes, I really expected flashwing and light core chill to be in first wave.
it's camo and cynder all over again.

The only other suitable option I can think of is if they were released as exclusives to some store like Whirlwind and Drill Sergeant, but I'm pretty sure we would have heard something about it by now if that were the case.

Oh wow. Your triple packs are much better value compared to your single packs than over here in the UK.

EDIT: Actually looking at conversion rates your single packs are overpriced and your triple packs are underpriced. Saves you a lot of money by only buying triple packs I suppose.

EDIT2: And your games are way overpriced. The triple packs are about the only thing worth getting for that money. But I suppose it's what you're stuck with.

Yes, I usually don't even bother looking at Singles outside of collecting.

I want Flashwing and Sprocket to both be available as at least store exclusives. smilie
Neither's Triple friends are also available... So it might happen.
That would just... FIX everything for me.

#17 Posted: 10:31:58 01/10/2012
You know what I just noticed?

Whirlwind, Zook, Ignitor in Triples- but, not Singles.

Yeah. I wonder if this means... Anything. (THOUGH I DOUBT IT D:<)
crystalhero37 Platinum Sparx Gems: 5536
#18 Posted: 10:33:54 01/10/2012
OMG, you're right.
Maybe EB is just trolling and not showing ALL the figs smilie
Nibelilt Ripto Gems: 401
#19 Posted: 10:35:50 01/10/2012
There is STILL HOPE for Day One Sprocket and Flashwing! smilie
crystalhero37 Platinum Sparx Gems: 5536
#20 Posted: 10:37:16 01/10/2012
target or Big W exclusives c:
Nibelilt Ripto Gems: 401
#21 Posted: 10:38:47 01/10/2012
Or GameTraders exclusives, for once, maybe?
crystalhero37 Platinum Sparx Gems: 5536
#22 Posted: 10:43:03 01/10/2012
they never get exclusives, but I rather them not as the closest one is 2 hours away.
Nibelilt Ripto Gems: 401
#23 Posted: 10:52:55 01/10/2012
Well, I'll be checking at least K-Mart, TRU, Target, GameTraders, Big W and EB so if I do find any exclusives that we don't know yet I'll let all of you know.
crystalhero37 Platinum Sparx Gems: 5536
#24 Posted: 10:55:03 01/10/2012
awesome sauce, if game traders has an exclusive, atleast I have an excuse to travel smilie
crystalhero37 Platinum Sparx Gems: 5536
#25 Posted: 11:01:23 01/10/2012
I'll get both regular and gold dragon fire canons.
yeyeyeyeyyeyeyeyeyeyey!

I might even just pre-order the packs I'm only collecting on their site, cause then I don't have to worry about carrying them around... Does anyone know how reliable EB's shipping is?
Nibelilt Ripto Gems: 401
#27 Posted: 11:05:42 01/10/2012
Knowing Acti, I think they'll just be reskins.
If someone can post the regular's pic here we can compare it to the pictures on the Golden one, yah?
crystalhero37 Platinum Sparx Gems: 5536
#28 Posted: 11:05:55 01/10/2012

Judging by these images:

It looks like it's not even going to be an Arena reskin. smilie
crystalhero37 Platinum Sparx Gems: 5536
#30 Posted: 11:10:59 01/10/2012
atleast the art is different smilie
but yeah, the arena looks same accept the cannon, maybe the actual gold cannon is more powerfull?

It means "quest for more money" in the short term but nothing in the long term as they will be in singles in some wave, some day.

If you have an EB close, just pre-order from them.

I would, but they've said that they only accept figure preorders online... Maybe they changed it for Giants...
As for the art:

Okay, pre-ordered all of the available figures from EB Games this evening. I also pre-ordered the 3DS game so I can strip out the Punch Pop Fizz and resell the remainder.

I pre-ordered the Legendary Bouncer from my "local" TRU on the weekend so I have all of my bases covered except for finding someone in the UK who wants a cheap PS3...

Partly, but I didn't expect him to. I figured at LEAST Shroomboom would be available. I don't really want the cannon unless it does something cool or if the arena is good.
