Note: this may be taken as speculation as the most part.

confirmed by a friend in the netherelands these are advertised on store flyers ...

Giant = Ninjini

Lightcores = Chill, Pop-Fizz and Hex

Singles = Hot Dog, ShroomBoom, Jet Vac, Zap, Drobot, Spyro and Wrecking Ball

also the Scorpion Striker Pack (was not released here yet)


Be ready

Wave 4 is not scheduled to be released until 3/1, plus or minus a week, but the assortment confirmed by t7gga is accurrate.

Also, as posted in the Wave 4 thread, Walmart should also be getting Wave 4 around the 22nd of February along with Toys R Us (which is also confirmed by a great lady I've known from there since I was a tyke myself.)



UncleBob is a reliable source. He knew about MHD and the GITD starters before any of us.

t7gga is reliable

KaBoomEr works in the industry.

I can't say I understand all the skepticism. We've seen pics of Spyro and Wrecking Ball. A poster here HAS them. Doesn't matter if they're from the Netherlands or not, it means they're shipping. Remember last year when Wham-Shell showed up in Australia and everyone was freaking out, then they showed up on the US coast just two or three days later? Or how L. Trigger Happy came out in Canada almost one year ago exactly, then showed up in the U.S. the following week? Yeah, precedent's set. Wave 4 is out. Deal with it.

Granted, we'll see what's actually out, but we already have confirmation of three figures and there's really no pretending they don't count just because they're in foreign countries.



Remember Wham-Shell? LTH? Even LSE? Things like this have happened before.

And that's if they don't show up even earlier! Personally, I'm calling California sightings no later than Wednesday.


I think this is how it goes.

Monday, TRU employees should be getting these on Monday and posting pics on CAG.

California sightings should be no later than wedensday.

HTA should come Thursday night.

Friday is the day. Come early.

It seems Derek was confused when I said Monday. I was predicting the boxes to come.

I also spoke to an employee at TRU in Ontario and he also confirmed that Monday they will be receiving a huge shipment of skylanders (wave 4) and they won’t be able to put them on the floor until Thursday or Friday morning

One reason I don't believe we'll get Ninjini this wave is the press release for the free Ninjini. They did say "MONTHS BEFORE ANYONE ELSE HERPDERPHURP C:" So why would they just release it weeks after .-.

Honestly, I'm of the mind that they don't really have releases on a schedule for the most part, exclusives being the obvious exception. They just ship what they have in the warehouses, and the suddenness of Wave 4 probably just means that they ran out of Wave 3 stock in their distribution centers and are now shipping what they've got. They have orders to fill, and stock actually has been a bit problematic lately, so I suspect they're doing it to meet the expectations of retailers that have already bought and paid for cases of figures sight unseen.

I know the "Original" press release said "months", but did the actual press release hosted on Toys R Us' website say that?

They lied.


But I'm planning this out now.

Press releases are often written by people who have no clue what they're talking about. I've written press releases myself as a freelancer, and oftentimes all the information I'm given can fit handily on a 3.5" card. Anything more than a scant couple of sentence fragments is largely the result of the writer's artistic license and not some intricate master plan.

The other thing that no one has mentioned is that wave 3 set a precedent. The single figure boxes and lightcore boxes were on the market way before Giant, triple pack and battle packs. We know that Legenday Chill and the single cases are imminent. There is really nothing to prove that the giant or LC boxes will be out before March or possibly even later.
