I haven't been able to find it. Is it exclusive to a certain store?

No. It isn't an exclusive.

If you look around, you'll see tons of Wave 1 triples. My guess is folks can't get rid of the triples this time around as they made the bad decision of including two reposes in the packs.

Sorry to need some hand holding, but I'm not able to find it on Amazon, target, Toys "R" Us, or Walmart.com. Where did you see it?

He's talking about wave 1 packs. The Scorp/Chop Chop/Sprocket pack is wave 2 (or at least has wave 2 characters) and hasn't been released yet as far as anyone knows.

Oh! Should we refer to it as wave 2.5?

No, it's in Wave 2 along with Riptide and Fire Kraken, Boom Jet and Night Shift. At leasts they are in germany.

In the USA? Probably nowhere, at least not yet.
Keeping in tune with the lagging sales of Triple Packs during the Giants release cycle, once again the Triple Packs in this new release cycle are also sucking in sales (at least when compared to Single Packs).
There's little-to-no chance that we'll see the next "wave" of Swap Force Triple Packs until the current inventory of Triple Packs at retail stores sells better.
This is one possible explanation for why the Bash-Spyro-Hot Dog Triple Pack has still not been released in the USA ... thanks to TONS of Sprocket-Stump Smash-Sonic Boom Triple Packs *still* littering the shelves at most of the major USA retailers. The other reasonable explanation is that Activision simply wishes to keep the artificial demand for Bash controlled and high.

I completely agree. I think people have wised to the repose thing and a three pack now seems less like a great deal and more like a repose delivery scheme. I'm wondering how strong Black Friday is going to be. I'm sure it will be big, but shelves are WAY more stocked now than either of the last two years at this point. They have two sections still at my TRU, one of which as of yesterday was three quarters Legendary figures (all four in big numbers).

You know, the sad thing is that I'd actually LIKE to get the reposes that are in Swap Force. Yeah, reposes aren't that great in general, but at least they handled it a lot better this time around than they did in Giants. This time there are just 24 reposes and only 5 of them are reposes within the current set (Lightcores of new characters). Giants, on the other hand, had 32 reposes and all 8 Lightcores are reposes which are doubles within the same set!

Personally, I would have GLADLY bought the two triple packs from Wave 1 and saved $10, but I got suckered into the Dark Edition, so I already had Swap Force copies of Spyro and Slobber Tooth. In retrospect, I kind of wish I would have just gotten the regular edition of the game since the main reason I got it was for the Dark Edition poster and it ended up being a piece of crap. I essentially paid $25 for two extra figures and some decent alternate paint jobs.

But anyway, that's kind of off topic. I really hope they release more triple packs in the US soon so I can actually buy them.

Good post, Pluvia. I don't think you're off-topic.

Sadly, I don't think we'll see additional new releases for Triple Packs until the first "wave" of Triple Packs actually starts clearing off the shelves. The holiday season grandparent-gifting may soon help ... but I'm not sure. A lot more kids now are being specific about which Skylander character they want from their wish list ... rather than just asking for whatever character, as we saw more frequently in the past.
