I assume that anywhere they celebrate Christmas, he'll be there, and on time, but with limited quantities. I don't see a lot of those selling in July.

What would be awesome is if they had a little hook on top so you could put him on your Christmas tree like an ornament.

Wrap a string under him, and Boom!....Instant ornament! (did you like I how I thru in the 'Boom' lol, sorry had to be done!)

He is now available in Smyth's toys in uk

Was at Best Buy yesterday preordering Final Fantasy XIV for PS4 at the touch screen game kiosk. I noticed they had Jolly Bumble Blast up for preorder too. I printed the preorder tickets and went to check out. Their system would not let you put just $5 minimum down. Had to pay the entire amount for the figures. It was a still a good option to ensure I would be able to pick them up later on the 8th.

Picked up Jolly Bumbleblast yesterday evening from my local EB. I had looked at both Brisbane CBD stores to no avail but when I rang my local one, he had 4 in stock and put one behind for me. When I got there, there were still 3 on display.

Price matched it for $12 based on the KMart catalogue.

Good to see a fig come out in Oz at the same time as USA (or even a tad earlier).

Available in Canada now too, picked him up today.

Was just at BestBuy here in the States and they had 5 Jolly Bumble Blasts on the shelf for sale! Just snagged one!

Not sure it was suppose to out, but they had them sitting on the shelf. Might want to check your local Best Buy. Worth a shot.

Good lcuk!

Looks like he may be at Best buy on the 8th?

This thru me off as well. I called to see if I could 'pre-order' one for the 8th. Since the Best Buy here is doing a huge PS4/Xbox one second wave release on the 8th. Didn't want to get mixed up with those people, and having them think I'm trying to sneak in and grab a system when I was only going to be there for a Skylander. When the lady answered the phone, she said "It's suppose to be out when? Because we have a few on the shelf.". So off I went and sure enough, they had them sitting out!

I just got off the phone with my local Game Stop and he is on the shelf for sale right now. Gonna go grab one later this afternoon.

Went to my local Target today(Pinellas Park, FL) and they had 6 Jolly's out. Attempted to buy one and was told they couldn't be sold until 12/8(computer wouldn't allow it). SO CLOSE YET SO FAR!! Be there first thing Sunday morning to get it!

TRU has them now too.

Amazon has it in stock.

Can anyone confirm or deny if Jolly BB does shoot Candy Cane bees?

no candy cane bees.

Just picked him up today! He has a candy cane bee in his beezooka, but only shoots regular bees.

Well, sold out. That didn't take long. Maybe they scaled back production of these things.

My local Best Buy had three...

Kinda anticlimatic since Best Buy and others are selling them today.

Picked mine up at gamestop. I see he doesn't shoot candy cane bees SAD FACE. Oh and if you pick the triple bee path he even loses the candy cane bee in the beezooka altogether...Definitely going honey path on this one and switching regular BB to the Queen bee path.

Just picked JBB up at a Gamestop near Avondale, AZ (I was out in that area). They had a bunch lined up behind the counter. Asked the GS drone about wave 3 and he looked in the computer and said that there was nothing in there about new figures, but admitted that JBB was not in there until this past Monday.

That's a good tip to keep the cosmetic aspect intact. Avoid Queen Bee path on Jolly!!

I liked the honey path better anyways

Aww I already got him fully upgraded on the Bee Keeper path

Meh the cosmetic change isn't that noticeable and picking the honey path for normal BB

Could always you know, buy 2 have them on both paths...

his soul gem makes him look like he has a toy sack if you look at it right! Except it filled with bees...

This might not bee (sorry, had to) the right place for this, but the Bee Path color-change is yet another example of Vicarious Visions' lack of attention to detail with this franchise. I seriously hope Toys For Bob does a better with Skylanders 4. Anyway...

The bees should be candy-colored. Period. Seriously, how hard could it be? There is also (on the PS4 version anyway) a dark ring that appears under his chin during certain parts of his animation that then just miraculously goes away. I didn't notice it with regular Bumble Blast, but the white hive chin/beard makes it blatantly obvious anytime you can see him from the front in-game. Distracting, and no good excuse as to why it is even there.

These kind of small 'unpolished' glitches like this are rampant in Swap Force. The easiest (and smartest) thing Vicarious Visions could have done (since they clearly were rushing this game), would simply have been to make the game patchable. Their limited foresight, horrible attention to detail, and lack of patching stance tells me that they have no long-term interest in this game; they did not want to pay the developers to continue to work on/refine it (despite it desperately needing it).

I realize they had to coordinate six consoles' development (with they themselves doing four), but that is precisely why the option for a patchable game shouldn't be an "option". Their lack of commitment to their work (post-launch) is appalling. At least they didn't 'un-gold' Legendary Chill's Narwhal attack...

I tend to agree here, but I was worried about the "game stopper" related issues that required patches...I'm a bit less worried about some of the cosmetic stuff but I respect your concern here. I haven't seen some of the nasty bugs related to achievements yet but I'm still early in the game. Wii version imo should be avoided entirely, although some here SWEAR by it. (Sounds like I'd swear AT IT).

Some of the misses on some of the subtle stuff will only get worse as they have to support 150-200++ unique figures. I can imagine the nightmare it would be to code that. I respect the level of tenacity it takes to do this...the procedural programming of the swappers is a great feat, and I applaud's VV's technical prowess here.

I was able to in the first level drop into a non-game area inside one of the honey-tree rooms in about ten minutes of starting the game...so WITH YA on the QA here. I'm a bit concerned how top heavy supporting every figure will be in each game---I suspect they may cry uncle at some point.
