Stop being greedy!

You got Wave 2 and Wave 3 early. You have better stocks on characters. YOU GET ALMOST ALL OF THE VARIANTS.

Stop complaining about no Thumpback, when you're already getting things better.


Sincerely, the rest of the world.

Well, apparently next weeks Target ad has an image of Thumpy in it, so nobody has to wait long.

Remember the adverts when the game came out with Thumpback in?

Well, of course we get everything first, it's an American game published by an American company for an American market. I don't complain that Japan gets Final Fantasy first, because clearly our Final Fantasy is a ported version of a game designed with a different market in mind. So, really, I think their efforts in Europe and Australia have been awesome, and in Canada, absolutely exemplary. The fact that you're getting figures even close to when we do should be something to get excited over, not curse at them for. I wish we all got the figures simultaneously as well, but let's be frank here; anywhere but North America (because Canada usually gets equal distribution; some things early) is a secondary market for them.

^ THISSSS

Yeah, but you get non obese people!

Well, I'm not obese, so that aspect of being here doesn't bother me. People can be fat if they want to be fat; it's not my life, and it doesn't affect me. Besides, the obesity gap is closing anyway. We jumped out way ahead of the rest of the world, but many other countries are catching up fast.

Variants are easier to find in countries outside of the US. So, I say that's a fair tradeoff, for those of us in America who are never lucky in finding variants on the shelves, thus we flock to Ebay.

Honestly, I'd rather find the variants of each wave, if it meant not getting the figures at the same time as other countries. I would trade for that, because the figures WILL come out at some point in time.

And it's not hard to import them anyway if the condition of the blister package is unimportant to you.

THIS!

I'm not complaining, we'll have them around the 1st. People who are complaining are spoiled. I haven't seen many Americans complaining about this, in fact I've yet to see it.

Enough with the complaining about America getting things first. Not only is it an American game, but our customs process is a lot easier. You want things faster, complain to your government. Enough with the self-entitled "we have to wait, so you should too" whining. It's just selfish.

That's not true GM.....it is not easier to get variants outside the US.

I personally think that the title of the topic should be changed. Everyone around the world wants Thumpback, including me and im not American.

YES!!! And now!

I guess I should whine over the fact that Japan and Europe got Xenoblade and The Last Story first, with the very real possibility that America wouldn't even see those two games. THEN, Japan and Europe got a game I really want to play, but can't unless I import it like I did Xenoblade (until it came out down here), which is Pandora's Tower.

Japan got Fatal Frame 4 and we didn't. Europe got Disaster: Day of Crisis and the US didn't (I had to import that one too). Europe got Rising Star Games' Under Defeat months before they finally announced it in the US, and in the US it's an amazon.com exclusive.

Canada got Legendary Trigg and Stealth Elf early, and GITD Fright Rider is still exclusive to the PAL regions. In the PAL regions, anyone can just stroll into a store and find the variants, while those of us in the US don't even get a chance unless we have contacts inside a store who will check for us before putting them on the shelves... if they don't take them for themselves.

None of that matters, though, in the face of REAL problems. A local story just broke today. A mother and her 3 daughters died in a house fire this morning, here in Oklahoma City. Ages of the girls ranged from 2 to 6. While people are here complaining, these 3 kids didn't get to play with their presents for more than just a day. One of them was born after all of us here, and they died before all of us here. One of those kids didn't even last until the age of 3, but again, the complaints by people on the internet just keep piling on.

If it isn't fanboys arguing on Gamefaqs.com about which systems are better, it's people on various sites complaining about the things they don't have... yet (in other words people who absolutely HAVE TO HAVE Thumpback now). You know, some people would just be happy to have their lives, but no. They get to be buried in a box, unable to enjoy the good foods of life, see the world, drive their first car, graduate school, have kids of their own, get married, or experience the things some of us have in life. They're lives were denied, and they must be buried in a box until the world ends (whichever way it does), all because of a space heater malfunctioning.

I can't ask everyone to see life the way I do, but Thumpback not being out, is the least of our problems in life. Let's show some respect to the dead in this world, by not taking advantage of life everyway we can. Let's live for those who can't, but live without constant complaints.

I wasn't complaining about how they get things first.

Can't those people be happy with what they already have?

You mean over-used excuse? No, it's not. It's used to get people who should have common sense to do so anyway, to see the perspective of life's real issues people face. Sometimes, though, us humans need to have our memories jogged, because we sit here and make big deals over such trivial things.

It's just a Skylander figure, and this is coming from a huge fan of the game who wants them all (I'm sure we all do). Fact is, no one (even me) is gonna get everything we want in life. Everyone in life wasn't born to walk on eggshells for one another. However, the thing us humans can do, is learn to complain or feel the way we should when faced with real issues.

Now, if people want to give constructive criticism, that's fine in my eyes. However, I don't see any of that, honestly.

I get where you are coming from. However, the problem with this line of thinking is that it overlooks the very human trait / flaw of being trapped within one's own body. We can say that one should look to the larger tragedies in life for perspective, but alas that does not make the smaller things--I forgot my wallet; the car broke down half way home on a two hour drive; I had to take my dog to the vet; my (insert person of importance) just died... Anything can be made trivial by an outsider, regardless of what it is, because they are not the one currently living it.

Should the dead be respected? Sure. But last I checked, someone whining about a game figure is not the same as someone robbing a grave. Should the dead be lived for? No. Life is for the living--the dead have their own path to take. Remembering, loving and honoring those who have gone is fine. Living for another person means giving up your own life in the process, and that's a dangerous thing indeed.

Anywho, that's a bit more deep and philosophical then I thought I'd ever get on this forum, and the above is strictly my own opinion. I get the point the poster is getting at--and if a Thumpback-less Christmas is the biggest problem you're facing, you probably *are fortunate--but going to quite the extreme demonstrated presents too easy a way to dismiss any and all situations, which does not actually succeed in creating the desired end result. (Which I am guessing is "Don't sweat the small stuff.")

Okay, time to stop rambling, put in Giants and see what I think of it. Hope I didn't offend anyone.

I was at gamestop, and an employee went up (because I was looking at skylanders) And told me that they were getting a new wave of skylanders, including Eye Brawl, Thumpback,Ninjini, and the scorpion striker in the 1st. I asked her about the 9th release date, she said she didn't know about it. I'll go back on the 1st and take pictures

REJOICE.

America already has Wave 3, and some people are complaining that Thumpback isn't part of it. This topic is complaining about those complaining that Thumpback is not in Wave 3.

Why must the community argue over things like this over Christmas time? Activision are the ones that chose the distribution of figures in different regions, thus taking the choice out of the hands of fellow fans. It's not as if fans are compaining for certain figures in their region - it is just the luck of the draw really. It is painfully enough not being able to get figure X in a local store, without having arguments about it.

I live in the UK, only recently did UK stores got Wave 2 and have absolutely no idea when Wave 3 will land. I'm not complaining as my wallet is still crying over Christmas and Wave2.

All other BS aside from this.... The topic title does need to be changed. When you say "To those americans... that makes you come off like you think you are better than everyone else. Someone else made a topic about not getting wave 3 yet or something along them lines that had You Americans in it. Do you really need to sound so petty?

In all reality GM78 did say some correct things, it is a game and we will all get a chance at most figures eventually. If this is all you have to worry about is people on here complaining about when you are going to get wave 3 or not getting a certain figure, I wish I had your life. I have to worry about my job, bills, mortgage, my diabetes, and my wife making sure she is happy. Those are just a few things.

I want all of the giants and other figures as the next guy. However, I realize they will come. I don't get upset about people complaining on here. It goes in one ear and out the other.
