I think some places did and some places didn't. It was supposed to launch on/before Black Friday and ended up pushed back to right at Christmas Eve, if I remember correctly. However, it's been a while, so my dates may not be as accurate as they once were.

Pretty sure we'll see stuff on Jolly Bumble Blast soon, like what store will stock him.

As for the rest of the Wave.. I have no clue. Probably the beginning of December in limited quantities, and then a full release during the last week before Christmas.

Given the number of characters in Swap Force, I think it's safe to assume Wave 3 will be before Christmas. I think we'll have at east six waves.

RIP GhostRoaster. He's reanimated as TakeYourLemons but occasionally is resurrected from the beyond when needed.

Geez, can they at least throw us a Sneak character early so I can complete the second level?

So should we be seeing another wave in November, or will it skip a month because we had two in October?

Hard to say. If there's anything predictable about Skylanders toys releases ... it's that they're unpredictable.

It's hard to imagine Activision wasting the opportunity to release a "wave" during the peak holiday shopping season, but one never knows until just a day or two before, it seems.

Well whether its Black Friday or day before Christmas, the whole time in between the two dates is perfect for selling. I would assume black Friday. I remember a legendary release at that time last year and can see that happening again this year.

They did last year, wave 3 singles/lightcores hit on the 23rd/22nd respectively, and only in very small quantities. I almost wonder if they had some manufacturing issues or shipping problems. Because so far the waves are matching last year to a "T". If it goes the same we might get a new legendary (prob Zoo Lou) for Black Friday, then nothing until right around Christmas.

Didn't we get Wave 3 for Giants on Black Friday or was that only Legendary Stealth Elf?

TRU had the Legendary, Walmart had the GITD Sonic Boom and Green Gill Grunt, and I believe GS had the Royal Double Trouble Starter all on Black Friday.
** RDT might have came out that week but all stores had them by Black Friday.

i talk about the swappers areas... you need one top(like earth) and bottom (like life) but we got no earth, so no access to swap areas... its quite easy to understand.

#24 Posted: 16:23:56 20/10/2013
We did not get an Earth Swapper before, but they are not necessary to open the gates. Getting a Sneak Swapper is what we needed as UncleBob said. Earth is not a swap only attribute. Also easy to understand smilie

Or hook up a 2nd controller and use 2 cores. Then remove the 2nd character to go through it. You could still get in.

This. Dual Element zones simply require two elements. Only the SWAP zones require SWAP figures.

Hence why I'm getting no Air/Earth Swaps. (chance, might get Doom Stone or Free Ranger, unlikely)
Hopefully one of them too, to get 100%.

And if you did not get Gorilla Drilla when TRU got them, you will need the DIG element also.

Terrafin is in another 3 pack? You were already forced to get him in the Adventure pack...why would they do that?
