#1 Posted: 22:19:46 26/12/2012 | Topic Creator
I was at gamestop, and an employee went up and (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

Get a pic if the employee has a list of some sort, and it has pictures and character names on it.

I doubt the rest of the Giants will be released then, but if they do, then at least all of the complaining about not having all of the Giants will stop.

Employee doesn't know it's pushed back so at the very least they might possibly be out on the 9th.

GameStop did get their unannounced exclusive RDT and the GDC before we even knew about the regular.

I'm not trolling. I wouldn't troll you guys.

Just be like Mori and smilie

#20 Posted: 02:15:57 27/12/2012
Yeah and I distinctively remember Gamestop being some of the first stores to get guys like Zook, Lightning Rod, Camo, Warnado and even Wham Shell from the first game before anyone else. This could actually be true, but whether it's the 1st or 9th, everyone keep their eyes out and report anything they find on any of the remaining giants and let the best Giant come first.

It all depends on the timing. Activision and TFB can still pull a trick on us. Secondly, where did she get the information about the wave?

I believe zaps story cause its zap. He's very unlikely to troll. What I'm skeptical of is the employee. We will see tho. I have plenty of gift card left over for gs so I hope they do get it/them.

I find this kind of funny. My Gamestop automatically assumed that the Battle pack was still coming out on the first until the guy looked in the computer and saw it had been changed to the 9th and he didn't say anything about new figures coming out aside from that. They get emails ahead of time when they are getting figures in.

If only Gamestop would allow us to pre-order ALL Skylanders...

But then you lose out on the thrill of the hunt. I enjoy searching for new figures with my kids. My daughter's eyes light up with pure delight when we find a new figure on the shelf. Then she runs off excitedly with it "Mommy look! A new Skylander!"

We got the TRU exclusive collector's case with Wham-Shell. She didn't know he was in it. We opened it up and she got all wide-eyed...
"WHAM SHELL! Oh THANK YOU, Daddy! That's the one I NEEDED!"

It's these moments that make the wait all worthwhile.

I wouldn't get all excited. I don't believe this at all. When we know the date has been pushed back for the battle pack. Also, I am going to assume TRU is going to get atleast a few day head start on those giants. May not be exclusive for a month, but I say alteast a few days.

Well, it technically wouldn't be the rest of the Giants since there are the other Ninjinis coming out.. but I agree with you at the same time.
It sounds awesome and I hope it is true, but it seems unlikely.

IT'S BECAUSE THIS!


Ninjini
Eye Brawl

It's proof they are Producing the last 3 giants.... COMING SOON!

#48 Posted: 17:41:45 30/12/2012
It's proof they're producing...but which are gonna be in the next wave is yet to be known. What's really got my goat is how they made it so hard for stores to even TELL what could be coming or even WHEN a wave will be available till maybe a week, sometimes less for the date itself! I'm sick of rumors already...I'm sick of trying to explain to clueless employees which skylanders are which....are they trying to keep them ignorant on purpose? Cuz for a game that's THIS popular to have so little info available for stores to recognize, for instance, if someone has switched figures in their starter packs and returned them to get the money is ridiculous! At the very least, they need a promo poster for EVERY store that sells skylanders, big enough to make figs recognizable and with their names clearly shown. That would cut down on the false sightings and scams at least. And seriously, I thought that retail always has some training required for new and popular items so they can help their customers.
