I saw an opened box of Scarlet Ninjini. On the side I saw W5. So I assume she's the beginning of Wave 5.
Lightcores Pop fizz, Chill, Hex, Drobot series 2 and Polar Whirlwind should be here sooner than you think. She's definitively not wave 4 as a few of you seems to suggest.

^ great news

Wave 5 Giant boxes started appearing at stores about a week after Ninjini hit. It doesn't signal the beginning of wave 5 for every type of figure, especially when they can't get rid of the massive amounts of wave 3 singles and Lightcores they have (GR and GL).

Molten Hot Dog was in a box labled GRE(W5), and Scarlet's in a box labled GSE(W5).

How can we get wave 5 Lightcore here in the US, when no store has seen a single box of wave 4 Lightcores, or wave 4 Triple Packs?

Ya sure is wave i noticed this also here in NY.

I think that the wave system has been a bit debunked lately with the sporadic mixes between X getting Y, Z getting A, etc. It isn't as simple as it was in SSA(where the only huge out-of-place differences were Legendary Trigger Happy which Canada got first, Dragon's Peak which America accidentally got early and Europe got a month late, and Camo/Warnado vs Wham-Shell).

I was just at TRU and an employee showed me 5 boxes of Scarlet Ninjini's and said they are being sold on Sunday morning. She said an, "E-blast Toy Alert" would be going out soon. If this is old need to some--sorry, didnt read through all the SN threads.

There were 3 Scarlet's at Gamestop and 8 at my local Wally World today. I picked one up for my boys and one for my nephew.

Nope!
"Wave 5" boxes of Giants have been shipping and stocking for about a month now already. The standard Wave 5 shipment contained one each of Thumpback, Ninjini, Eye-Brawl, Crusher, Swarm, and Hot Head.
The Scarlet Ninjini shipment boxes are a special edition continuation of that "Wave 5".

I found 6 Scarlets at my Game Stop on Tuesday. I went in Yesterday (Thursday) and there was still 5 left. I got mine last month when Amazon had it out (the first batch). There is one Scarlet at GS that looks like she has a booger on her nose. I took a picture and will post tonight.

Got my Scarlet today, everywhere i go they had them except walmart has no Scarlet.

They're an event item currently, we got two boxes in but they came up Sale not Allowed. They're also a different assortment from the regular Giants, similar to GITD Sonic Boom and Molten Hot Dog.

The "Sale Not Allowed" restriction was lifted at all Walmart stores across the country sometime this afternoon. All WM stores (that have them in stock) are now authorized to sell them. It sounds like they were originally planned to be shipped with a street date, but that plan changed somewhere along the way.

While I will agree to having never seen a Fright Rider/Wrecking Ball/Flameslinger triple, the only wave 4 lightcore is Legendary LC Chill. I've seen her all over the place. Pop Fizz, Chill, and Hex should be wave 5.

I have seen types the FR/FS/WB triple once.

It's a good thing Target has it online...there's a ton of people going to Target today that will be disappointed especially with the Sunday ads out today.

I went to two targets, right at open time, and they each only had one box of W5 labeled boxes with 6 Scarlets. Limit 2. I'm guessing by 10a0m they'll be sold out.


FYI if you need the DCPI it is 20701148.

I went to Target this afternoon to look for Adventure Packs (got Dragon's Peak) and the only Giants they had were like 50 Swarms and 1 Bouncer. Glad I already got a Scarlet. While at a local ComiCon before that though, I saw 1 dealer who had a Scarlet. He wanted $40 for her, and someone actually bought her at that price.
