I've gone through 4 boxes of 5.1, and I didn't see any variants.

It does make me wonder, though. E3's figure wasn't Gill Grunt, and Gill Grunt doesn't seem to be in wave 5. We know there is a Special Gill Grunt, thanks to someone checking the files from Spyro's Universe.

Wonder if this Special Gill Grunt will ever be released?

Hmph.

Maybe the second part of the wave will have him in it?

Sad to see people taking advantage of store employees by making price matches they know are wrong.

Which price match? Both of the TRU sales will work for Wal-Mart since it lists the first items price and its not a percent sale.

Unless you are referring to people trying to use the SSA sale with Giants.

You must have some nice folks letting you sift through boxes like that.

Well, the people working there have known me since before that store was ever a Supercenter (so back in the mid-late 90's).

This.
People are talking about using the 99 cent promo withb S2 Drobot.

Went to Walmart in Simi Valley, CA last night and they had 2 boxes out of the 5.1 assortments. There were two S2 drobots (non lightcore) and one S2 Slam Bam among others. They also had multiples all of the SSA adventure packs except there were no Darklight Crypt.

FOUND HIM I used the Buy 1 Get 1 $.99, they could only honor that one as it was the closest price. The box is labeled as Wave 5.1, and has
1x Spyro
1x Wrecking Ball
1x Double Trouble
1x Hex
1x Slam Ban
1x Drobot
1x Hot Dog
1x Lightning Rod
1x Stealth Elf
1x Fright Rider

That's only ten. What are the other two?

The other two are Flameslinger and Shroomboom.

There is a wave 5 box, which has single pack Jet-Vac, but it seems no Walmarts are getting those in, outside of one poster who said he spotted a single pack Zook, when he found his S2 Drobot.

I bet it's a six pack box, like they did with wave 4, where only six figures are in the box. If that's the case, we know two of the characters in that assortment, which is Jet-Vac and Zook.

Since when did Spyro's Universe necessarily correllate to physical figures? I know most of the variants appeared on there before it was shut down, but if there was a variant Gill Grunt of that type, it should have been discovered long ago when the code for Giants was hacked and all of the other figures, variants, etc. exposed. As I never heard or saw anything about such a character in the Giants code, I have a feeling it was more like the special variant characters in the mobile games like the flowery Wrecking Ball, the Valentine's Day Flameslinger, etc.

Saw another s2 drobot in walmart in frddricksburg, va. It was the omly one they had.

Lucky me, I went to a far away Walmart and scored him!!

They had 2. Also had 2 Slam Bams, 2 Flameslingers, 2 Double Troubles, and 2 Spyros.

Picked one up in Massachusetts, so I'm gonna guess most Walmarts in the US have at least received the shipment, but maybe not shelved them.

Found him today in Jackson, MI and a friend also found him today in Lansing, MI.

Means they put out 2 boxes of 'em I think bash was the final one in the box if I remember correctly.

Nope, didn't see any of him at all.

I stopped at three Walmarts in the Detroit area today. Managed to score a Drobot at one. The other two hadn't received any new stock yet.

Got 2 Drobot's, a Slam Bam, and a Bouncer in Bellingham, WA today.

Wow, so they're stocking this thing like it's nothing. Which means unless I'm waiting like an impatient nutcase when they get there I can hang it up for a while. Oh well.

Ya, the box:


Comes with what Ghost said along with shroom and flame. I picked ou these 6 today from them:



The rest were in the box and I even took the box home Using it to store my sealed ones.
I can see the final box of singles to have zook, ignitor, bash, slam, drobot, jetvac and a few others. Those would be my guess.

Just picked up a S2 Drobot (non LC), S2 Slam Bam and S2 Spyro at the Walmart in Turnersville, NJ. As of around 11:30 PM EST (June 20) there was still left:

Drobot x 1
Stealth Elf x 2
Hot Dog x 2
Wrecking Ball x 2
Fright Rider x 2

Grabbed a Dino-Rang at the Walmart in Deptford, NJ about a half hour before the above time. Had left:

Camo x 1
Warnado x 1
Zook x 1

walmart in kansas city on barry road had exactly 1. and he was just sitting on the front of the shelf waiting for me to buy him. first place i tried and he was there. YAY DROBOT S2

Don't know if this is what you're talking about, but a store here that sells (amongst other things) used video games has a clear green Gill Grunt in its display case. Is that it?

No, that clear Green Gill Grunt came with an xBox360 starter pack that was released on Black Friday 2012... it has a green base and is technically a S1 figure despite being released after Giants

Went to Walmart today and WOW
5 drobot s2
wrecking balls
Spyros
Slam bam x 4
Stump smash
Lots of others

Ninjini x 5
Many others

S1
Warnado's
Camo's
Zook's
Dino Rang's
Double Trouble's
Stump's
On and on

It was fun to see so many new ones.

I havent seen a Ninjini (other then scarlet) in over a month.

Man, thats just wrong intentionally taking advantage of a sale you know doesn't apply to the item. The .99 cent deal, as others have said, is for the SSA core Skylanders. The Giants are, I believe, $2.99.

I just got S2 Drobot at a Walmart in Indy if anyone in the area would like to know... he has arrived (fashionably late) to the Indy area!!! lol

I just got Drobot 2 and Slam bam 2 at Centerville OH Walmart cool beans...

Just got S2 Drobot at Palm Coast, FL. Wal-Mart. They also had one S2 Slam Bam, 5 Ninjinis, 1 Spyro, 1 W.B.

Striking out at my hangouts. Might overspend on eBay because I think Polar is going to send me over the edge as it is having to deal with Gamestop.

S2 Drobots found in MN at Walmart. I bought one and left two behind.

Any spotted on the east coast? (NY in particular?)

Any sightings anywhere in Los Angeles...

my friend got one at tru here in milwaukee...i still need one -.-

Any spotted on the east coast? (NY in particular?)

Yep, NJ.

So has Drobot only been appearing at Wal-Marts, or has he been appearing at other stores that usually sell Skylanders also?

Look at Ace's post.

Oh, missed that, sorry!

So we've seen him at Walmart and one TRU so far, any other stores?

Nope. I have a feeling GameStop might have him.

looks even moar butt ugly than evah... but i need the speed heroics becoz giants to slow, so must pick it up...

He's not, actually.

His Wow Pow on Clockwork Dragon is extremely powerful.

I hope he's at GameStop.

Got S2 Drobot and finally S2 Slam Bam at Walmart.

Just picked one up in Fayetteville, nc

got him and slam bam at toysrus.

Quote: TheBakonBitz

Any spotted on the east coast? (NY in particular?)

Yep, long island, ny

Checked tru today along with a couple of gamestops. None had anything newish. One had lc chill and lc pop fizz, but the rest has older waves of stuff, no drobot other then lightcore which they didnt seem to understand was different from series 2.

Me too! On the way home from GS with my PW! This was in Hammond IN but they only had one.

I got him on eBay for $17!

Walmart in New Smyrna Beach, FL near Daytona Beach had a box in the back everything stated here was in it! Slam Bam and Drobot mine yey!

PS
If you really want one these Skylanders Giants at Walmart dont take the "we have none in the back" line cause they are definitely lying i went to 3 walmart and 2 walmart said that and i told them i still wanted them to check and when they check boom the box was in the back unfortunately it was missing slam bam so i had to go to the next walmart the 3rd walmart refused cometely to go check anyways in the back so i got a manager and stated that i just wanted them to check and boom and unopened box in the back. So show those Walmart employees who the customer really is!

I had a really helpful employee talk to me yesterday about this. If the shelves are full then apparently they will "bin" the boxes, in other words - put the boxes on the upper high shelves to get them off the stockroom floor. Not every employee can access the upper shelves since it is a work hazard to get them down. She said they had to wait until someone that could get them down was going to be there. It isn't always because they are lazy/mean, but yeah it sometimes is because of that.
