Are we absolutely sure all 4 are going to be in a single pack? Think of it like this. TFB/Acti want people to buy their Magical Items (ie DFC and SS in Giants), so good incentive is to keep those figures exclusive to the Battle Packs, that way parents won't get mad if they end up buying single packs of said characters, only to find out their kids want the Battle Packs for the Magical Items, thus said kids get 2 of those figures.

Think of them like Adventure Packs. To this day, there is no way to get Series 1 Terrafin, Slam Bam, Sunburn, or Ghost Roaster outside of the Adventure Packs. Why wouldn't they do the same thing with Shroomboom, Hot Dog, Chop Chop, and Zap?

Also, if you think about it, Jet-Vac already has a single pack release, and Shroomboom will in about a week. Sure, they may be Lightcore, but they are there for those wanting Shroomboom without buying the Battle Pack, or Jet-Vac without buying the Starter Pack.

This makes a lot of sense to me. Don't forget about Molten Hot Dog (as a probable single too). All that would leave is the S2 Chop Chop and Zap.

I kind of hope they leave Chop, Shroom, Zap, and Hot Dog as exclusives to the Battle Packs for 2 reasons -

1: It gives incentive for people to get some Magical Items
2: I am re-arranging my room, and my wall only has room to line up 11 single packs in a row, hahaha.

So, going off of number 2, I need there to only be 22 single packs for Series 2, so they will fit side by side, so I can do what I am trying to do to my wall now.

Actually this is what I was theorizing a while back as well. Pretty much every (new) character should have a single release at some point for Giants. The only one who'll probably be an exception is Tree Rex because he's available in both game packs so it's impossible to NOT have him.

Not counting variants, I assume?

I mentioned this in another thread, but looks like I should drop this here as well -

I never trust kmart.com. One time they were listing Human Alliance Transformers Mudflap and Barricade on their site, for sale. Mudflap was the hardest to find, so everyone jumped on the kmart.com bandwagon. Anytime someone got an order in, it was either Human Alliance Bumblebee or Human Alliance Skids.

So, kmart.com doesn't have a great deal of trust going on with their site. They just list things to list them, as a lot of us Transformer fans found out.

I don't take stock in stores' web sites at all...especially when their search engine can't even find their store exclusive items. (I'm looking at you Target and Wal-Mart)

I really hope so...I don't think any of us are gonna know for sure till it gets closer to the wave release.
Its highly doubtful though I'm afraid.

Ah, my mind slipped from that one. I have a feeling though that not many people honestly picked up the whole wii bundle. (regular people, not collectors) Generally I'd imagine that everyone should have Tree Rex.
