I don't know about who's going to be right, but one thing I do know is that better be there whether it's any of the dates everyone mentioned. I mean I would have been patient if it was Sprocket or even Crusher who was not out in the beginning, but seriously, my most wanted figure had to be the last one I need to complete my new Skylanders collection.

Eye Brawl MUST come out in wave 3

@ Nibelilt: I highly doubt a wave 2.5 just to release the second battle pack.

No, I think it's pretty likely. Dragon's Peak would like a word with you. And I would guess they'd kick in LSE with it.

No, dragon's peak was apart of wave 4 and the same with Legendary trigger Happy because if you recall. They were released the same time Zook and lightning rod were. however, the two didn't make it to all stores.

Well, all I know is that I have read a couple places that Thumpback was supposed to be packaged with Hot Head at this point, so either they didn't have enough for wide release so he was delayed or they broke a deal with Nintendo to give consumers another reason to be in stores the day their new system is released. Both could land that figure coming out on this mythical release date listed. They are likely to sell another 2500 units across the states or so first day if that is the case. Now, you have kids playing the system at someone elses house before thanksgiving and then what do they want for Christmas?

I won't be surprised if it is only Thumpback. Water is one of two elements that still has more then two standard figures (non-variant), so this also makes sense.

They didn't. They came out a couple weeks later, if I remember right.
LR/Zook: Early April
DP/LTH: April 10-22?

Thumpback... my precious lie... cake back...

^ If true... Maybe there'll be Wave 2.5 with just the second Battle Pack? Like when they just released LTH and Dragon's Peak?

Quote: Takadox360

Thats toooo much for a wave I think wave 3 is Battlepack
Thumpback*crossfingers*
Eruptor,PrismBreak Drobot WreckingBall,StealthElf
Chill,,Shroomboom Light-core
EDIT:Who else thinks that the waves are comming too fast last year wave 3 was in january.

I think it is the full release of wave 2 and Thumpback.

He was shown in the Wii U trailer

Quote: Eyebrawl4616

Last time, here were the waves:

Wave 1: Game Release Date

Wave 2: November 11th or so

Wave 3: Mid to late January

Wave 4: Early April

Wave 5: Sometime in June

There's at least 2 months between waves. For Giants, there wasn't even a month between wave 1 and 2

Wave 1: October 21st

Wave 2: October 23-28

Wave 3: Predicted to be mid November

Wave 4: I'm guessing early-mid December

I guess kids were losing interest between waves, so they shortened the length.

TRU Bellevue, WA will be open 8pm Thurs 22nd for Black Friday deals and will have wave 3 then. ''' I just called them a few minutes ago and confirmed it.

Ok problem. I'm not trying to say anything to offend you, but I just dont believe any of this would happen at all, except for taka's post.

@ Nibelilt: I highly doubt a wave 2.5 just to release the second battle pack.

@Takadox360: Your post seems logical. The release of one giant is good along with two Lightcore
And a few s2 along with the battle pack. But, it makes the most sense if wave three for giants comes out around that time. IMO

@ZapNorris: like I said, why would they make a wave 2.5 JUST to release Thumpback and the battle pack. Dumb idea for them to do that IMO.

@Eyebrawl4616: Just no. Your list is innocent, but they wouldn't release it in a four month period, then they would be done for. Most likely wave 3 in Janurary and wave 4 in Feburary or march.

@TheLurk: see you just cannot go off what an employee says. They could be absolutely wrong and just saying you called and confirmed doesn't prove anything. Why?
Reasons:
1)I just can't believe it because this is just from one person, not from a majority.
2) There is no physical proof other than you just putting it out there that it is.
3) You can't go off what employees say most times because they get confused and they may not even know at all.

It's just hard to grasp that that will happen seeming how wave 2 JUST came out less than a month ago.

I've been checking for anything physical to prove the release date, but nothing yet. I think I talked with a manager for the Bellevue TRU. I DID find proof that they're definately opening Thurs evening though.

Click on the Official Rules link on the contest page. It tells you that the winner will be allowed to shop an hour before the official Black Friday opening, and in a later part of the rules that the time would be between 8pm and 9pm Thurs. I think there's probably easier ways to find this out...or there OUGHT to be...I don't know about you, but I'm kinda ticked. I checked EVERYTHING just to get this....are they waiting for it to be a week away or something?!

I know I don't have physical proof of the 22nd being the release date, but....it really does make logical sense. Right now TRU still has SSA figures for sale. They also have the earlier waves of Giants to deal with. Considering the demand on Black Friday, they could easily clear out a significant portion of those figures, while selling the new ones within hours. Add the WiiU into the mix too and you have lots of excitement. I think the better question than "why would they do that?" is "why WOULDN'T they do it?". I doubt the other stores will feel differently about this. Activision wants its moneh for the season, and Black Friday is a HUGE portion of their sales. The economy has been in the tank too. Last year, they slowed their momentum and lost buyers due to lack of new figures at the right time. They won't make that mistake again if they can help it! They want you to buy and buy NOW! Stores are gearing up to have early sales coming up to Black Friday and even up to Christmas. It sounds crazy, yes, but from a retail position, they may feel they don't have a choice.

Well, a new variant may be released..

Deleted. My bad. Most variant bases are the color of the skylander.

i dont care about any of this. i just want thumpback!!! hes the only other skylander i want. him and slam bam s2

Ok the reason I believe that wave 3 will not be released this year is because.

1. Leaveing parents to many choices at shopping time and then spending less than if they would spread it out.

2. Because people like me have pretty much sent what they are going to and don't want to spend more right now.

3. Last, lost islands has skylanders that you can unlock and the only ones that are not out yet are L stealth elf and royal double trouble. It takes a lot of work to update those apps. If they were coming out that soon then it would be in the app.

So tru has confirmed black friday ??????????????????/

I'm on the fence with this one...half of me wants Wave 3 out but the other half is grumbling about hunting again...

i'm guessing

I was one of the ones predicting a wave 3 on Black Friday when America got wave 2 in the first week.

I do not think this is a good idea anymore.

Waves do two things: They introduce unreleased material but sometimes more impotantly they rerelease older figures allowing the figures on the shelves to change and older characters to become available again.

With all figures from wave 1 still being available on the shelves and wave 2 just starting to become prominent on shelves wave 3 from a marketing stand point is a bad idea right now.

We will see GITD Sonic Boom, and L Stealth Elf plus perhaps another exclusive but we will likely not see wave 3 until after Christmas at this point.

AND Glitter variants, MAYBE..

I think Thumpback is in wave three cuz he is in 2 commericals and Hot-Dog too same with S2 Eruptor and Ninjini and Eye Brawl arent in any of them.

Here may give some confirmation that we are a few days away from the release of a new wave....

Well, Thumpy must be out in black friday AKA Wave 3 because he dish out a crud ton of damage.

Blasphemy, I tell you!

My guess, actual wave 2. WiiU release the same day helps everybody's sales. The key here tho is the possibility of iOS pack coming out too. Putting all that out just before Black Friday would be epic and hopefully mean plenty of stock.

Also, EYE BRAWL NOW PRZ!!!!!!!

I highly doubt wave 3 will co e out on black Friday.

You can't be serious. I wish they would just release everything at once so that I could buy everything I wanted right away.

@SPARXisAWESOME

That last pic isn't EyeBrawl. The iris is different....I think that's from Darklight crypt?

@Bazinga OMG OMG!!! I'm gonna check again with TRU and if it's true I'm gonna be there!!!

Kmart.com has Light Core Shroom, Light Core Hex, Light Core Chill and Light Core Chill available for in store pickup at the moment. Soooo....uh....hmmmm

And I ordered 3 of each...we will see when I can pick em up.

!!!!!!

Thanks Xero! My nearest has them, in stock (somehow..)


I'm going there today..

i havent even seen wave 2

Matteomax, don't go today. They weren't available when I went...order online for in store pickup and wait for the email saying it's ready to pick up

Okay, I'm going to do store pickup..

Someone confirmed to me that they just got a call saying they are putting her order together. So this looks to be confirmed. Will know soon if my order is ready.

kmart is awful for stuff like that you will get eruptor, drobot, and prism break. It happens all the time with transformers.

Hmph, I dunno, they have the actual images of them, but I guess we'll just have to wait..
For some odd reason, LC Hex cannot be found near me..

^ LC Hex isn't out yet.

So...I guess it might be a glitch...but my order is placed...so...we shall see what happens with it. Will keep ya updated.

Quote: weebbby

^ LC Hex isn't out yet.

Neither are the other ones that Kmart says you can order for pickup. That's kinda the whole point here

idk about Kmart, but when I pre-ordered from TRU I got my items early (even though they weren't officially released yet), I had the Dragonfire battle pack before the Giants game was even out!!! So don't be too quick to disregard it... like Xero said, we'll just have to wait and see what happens with the order... it's not impossible, TRU did it!! lol Sometimes it's more about customer satisfaction and admitting someone screwed up on the retail end (shouldn't have activated the link so early or something) to retain business... time will tell!!

I placed an order for LC Shroomboom. Will be going to Kmart once it says my order is ready

Just got a confirmation email. Heading that way now. Will update later.

hopefully you'll get lightcore !

So I get here and they pull the order and its LC Drobot. So I tell them it is incorrect and one of the guys is now in the back looking for LC Shroomboom. If you look at the UPC on the item, it is LC Drobots UPC so apparently there is a problem on the website. This is probably why it is showing up in stock.

Can someone get the UPCs of the other new LCs on Kmarts website and see which ones those are.
