Although TRU will open at 5 AM on Black Friday, the Swap Force sales are on Thanksgiving. The Swap Force starter will be $37.49 from 5 PM - 9 PM on Thanksgiving (not Black Friday) along with the B1G1 70% Swap Force characters. The B1G1 Free Giants/SSA figures are from Thursday 5 PM - Sat close. If you wait until Black Friday, then Swap Force will be $49.99 and the B1G1 70% Swap Force characters will be over.

I thought the WiiU exclusive Wash Buckler was exclusive to Gamestop. I believe this is cheaper, so all you who preordered at Gamestop should switch over to TRU. And for those like me who already have the WiiU, let's hope this is like the next Gnarly Tree Rex and will be sold as a single figure in the future (although I doubt it). Wasn't it just a year ago that all stores got the Wii bundles with Gnarly Tree Rex?

You mean 5pm on Thursday.

While I would love to get the 3DS Starter for that, it would involve blowing off Thanksgiving dinner with the family and that isn't happening. Late evening openings are bad enough, but afternoon? You have to sacrifice one holiday to try and make another one better? No thanks.

John Stewart was right, Christmas is becoming so big it is starting to eat other holidays.

I've been waiting for this so long. The starter pack price is such a steal. And the buy 1 get one 70% off... wow. How many wii u starter packs do you think will be in stock? Because it says the sale goes on into Saturday, the price just goes up. So they must have a good stock for the sale right? And im really hoping wave 2 hits around this time for the sale.

It will certainly be hectic and crazy with the lines in store and parking outside, but no need to wait outside the store before it opens...there will be plenty of starter packs to go around...now about the figures, I say expect a total mess of Giants figures and wave 1 of Swap Force!

Hmmm so many ways to work this.

So basically everything is on lay away now with the whole 40% bogo.
Saved some cash there.

All I need to do if pay that all off, come in during those hours, and return/get the difference for the sales.

Won't have to fight over figures, fight lines, and I'll get some cash back.

Good deal.

You can do it online at TRU:

-We did this a few years back to obtain a 3ds at the 'special' price with some accessory kit. Our TRU had a line wrapped around it twice over.

Wow so you can pretty much get a Starter Kit for $30

$37.49 - $10 Frito Lay Coupon (Expires 11/30/13 If you saved them) = $27.50

I was wondering the same thing. I don't know why they released both Zoo Lou and Night Shift a week apart the beginning of November... Maybe wave 3 is supposed to hit around then so they wanted to save them for Black Friday...

Unless they have new figures for the B1G1 70% off, I'm just going to get the starter pack which should still be in stock around 7PM. So I still have time to do what I normally do that day.

I've been collecting SWAP FORCE for Christmas presents. Is it bad if I am now contemplating returning ALL OF THEM to save the difference? OMG. Would they still be on shelves at 5:02pm, I wonder?

No,
That's what I and others are doing.
Esp, with the bogo on the other two series which run all weekend.
I'll load up now and discount later.
Its within the rules.
Even to the point you may only need the receipt and they take off the diff.

Basically. Most of the ads don't have anything new on them, except for the Wii U bundle.

We've been through this before, everyone. The pictures in the ads don't mean anything. These ads are prepared months ahead of time using whatever Skylanders the promo people have access too. Come on guys, you need to stop reading into every little thing.

This was my thought. I wondered if new information came available about wave 3 not being available on time.

Black Friday is essentially the end of the month. Wave 3 has been widely rumored to be out in November. So any date before the end of November and the figures will be there just fine. I'm not concerned. smilie

YES! Possibly bumped to November 30. Maybe Amazon makes this stuff up. http://www.amazon.fr/gp/produc...=A1X6FK5RDHNB96
