Toughest Swap-Force to find? [CLOSED]

My son was was totally into the original Skylanders and Giants. We went out and purchased all the characters possible (except the Gold/Silver and other extreme variants). He originally was not interested in Swap-Force, but now has changed his mind. I went to Toys-R-Us this morning and purchased all the characters they had available (3 packs & Legendaries included) plus the Starter pack for the PS4. What I was wonder is what are the Hard to Find characters for Swap-Force ala Whirlwind/Drill Seargent from the 1st series. I know eventually all the characters become readily available. Just want to know what I should keep my eye out for when I'm at the store. Thanks!

None of them. They want your money.

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

Of the ones that are out, I've only seen Fire Kraken and Grilla Drilla once.
Night Shift (Non Legendary) Is kinda tough to find.

The wave is not out fully...don't count. Do not pass go do not collect $200.

I agree with the previous post that Wave 2 Swappers aren't "in your face" like Wave 1...but they're out there if you are diligent enough with checking.

I've been slowly seeing more of Grilla Drilla and Fire Kraken lately. Heavy Duty Sprocket seems to be semi-rare.

All of the reposes are "semi rare" simply because they only shipped one per box. They (rightfully) assumed that people are tired of paying for the same character (different plastic pose) with one minor game change.

I was about 2 months late to the SWAP Force party. I amassed complete collections of toys for the first two games, but I wasn't sure I wanted to keep going. I caved on Black Friday with a $40 Wii U starter pack, and I'm glad I did. SWAP Force makes the first two games look like words I can't post on a family forum.

Anyway, the rarest ones here in Atlanta, GA seem to be the Trigger Happy 3-pack (only seen one and I bought it), regular Night Shift, Lightcore Smoulderdash and Lightcore Grim Creeper.

I've seen everything else a whole bunch of times. Fire Kraken and Boom Jet were rare a few weeks ago, but I've not been to a store this week that DOESN'T have multiples of them.

You're also in a country where you can walk into GameStop and buy Stink Bomb, Spy Rise, and Dune Bug.

Check your local target, it's worth a shot. Was there today. They had at least 15 of each GrillaDrilla and FireKraken.

Obviously this won't be like that at every Target so call first.

I've now seen at least one of every character around here (From Wave 1 & 2), except for one.

Fire Kraken

Rubble Rouser = :rr

Scratch = :scratch

Spy Rise = :spyrise

Stink Bomb = :stinkbomb


Also, if you hit the "quote", the code for the icon usually gives you an idea (as per modified code above).

In Canada I never found any character of the wave 2 but... found a JBB which is pretty cool! But I never saw a wave 2 yet and wave 3 is out in some part of the world... But never Canada! smilie
