Does anyone know when or if jade fire kraken will come out.

Nope. I'm fairly certain the forums will blow up with news when something's know about him. Same as Kickoff.

We know that Kickoff is coming out very soon, mid-May. Nothing on Jade, which leads me to believe that he'll be Trap Team preorder exclusive.. I hope not.

I think they learned their lessons from the number of free LC hexes that TRU had to give away today since they never sold once Swap Force was available, and they weren't available until then.

Lightcore Hex is not a bad character, it's the promo of it all. You can't hype a game and release the last figure on the launch of the next game. It just doesn't work that way for this type of game.

If it's like lightcore hex the australian's got lightcore hex without preorder but we had to wait for polar whirlwind.(I hate waiting games)

So maybe the aussies will get Jade fire fraken because he has the socceroos colours and we have to wait for either Enchanted star strike,Kickoff countdown or maybe quickdraw rattleshake.

Hope they don't do it like lc hex either

Same here, and I think that Jade Fire Kraken will come out in Early June

I love Hex, even without the wow pows and switch pathing on this. To your point, you have to strike when the iron is hot. And many people simply forgot about the character or was allowed some time to "cool off" and decided why buy another Hex.

So, my opinion: They will not use any Swap Force character as the carrot for Trap Team pre orders.

Let's hope so. That experiment was grossly unsuccessful last time. With only Doom Stone, LC Bumble Blast, and Kickoff Coundown left besides him though, it's anybody's guess. Although I'd be shocked if KO Countdown isn't released in conjunction with this year's World Cup, and Chinese New Year has already passed.

Well, the fact that she had a S2 didn't help either. All the LC is S1 w/ bomb, which isn't really that important anyways.

LC Hex failed because they released her so late after the S2 - to the point she's practically just a 'repose'.

The Hex I got is still in the package and has gained 0 experience.

I'm wondering if Jade is going to be part of a Summer Frito Lay promotion, if it happens, hopefully it'll be like the Giant Sidekicks and NOT like Quickdraw Rattle Shake.

Please don't give them any ideas.

No thanks fire kraken is my favourite swapper and I live in the uk I will seriously go ranting to acti if they do a frito lay promo.

I'll take him as an Amazon exclusive. Don't really care about the logistics of why it would or wouldn't make sense. I just don't wanna hunt.

Agreed. That would lessen the goose chase.

Thank you guys

None of it is in hand. Not sure if that pic is "real" or not...then again we saw Halloween PEB before it was in stores as well...who knows.

Someone got him in the Netherlands.

If they are going to do a preorder incentive I can see it being Lightcore bumble Blast as he is not out here in the uk yet and he is the only character on the swap force poster list I need to have every swapforce character thats in the swap force list of collectable characters

What I'm a little Pizzy about is that these eBayers rip a pic from this kid's video and passes it off as theirs.

What's even worse is that people are using a picture of a custom figure and stealing pictures from the internet and using them as fake preorders.

also for all we know this kids mum or dad could work for the company that made the jade fire kraken character and could have brought it at staff discount or something for their kid and he is just saying that he found it at the store so either of his parents doesnt get fired.because if you look at him he is old enough to know that if he says his parents got it from the factory for him his parents are in trouble.

also for 37 views he has not had a single comment also it was suposed to have been uploaded yesterday 16/5/14

False. The Employee at my ToyStore(Intertoys (Which is a netherlands only store)) told me his offical release date 13/5/14. He officially came out here by then, but he was so rare barely ananyone found it. Since they only come one per package. ;>.>

I don't want to bum anyone out and please take this information with a grain of salt, but I was at TRU this AM picking up KC and I was talking to one of the sub managers about Skylanders and how it takes so long for them to get all of the figures out and how KC is the 2nd to last to come out. I said to her that JFK was the last one and she *volunteered* that TRU corporate had told her that he will be coming out "sometime in the fall". *Heavy Sigh* :-( This reinforces the "bonus with Trap Team" theory.

I told her that they will probably get stuck with a million of them like LC Hexes and she agreed.

I also asked her if she had that "coming out in the fall" in writing and she said that she did, but was not interested in showing me. :-\

Please take all of this info with a grain of salt, but it could be true, unfortunately.

I was at a large chain store last week friday, 6/6/14. I wasn't there for any particular reason but they had the multple jadefire kraken out. I took it to the register and it was not for sale. So apparently they are in stores, but waiting in the back room for the ok to sell. When that ok will come is... another story.

That's been the story here for what gang...two weeks? Someone screwed up.

Greetings to all. First post here, so I hopefully did this properly. I just bought Jade Fire Kraken yesterday for my kids. I thought posting some images might help clarify that it is real and is available (pending you can find it). I only found one buried under a pile of other merchandise, but I had no problems at checkout. If anyone is wanting to know, his card stats are the same as his regular counterpart. Best of luck to those of you hunting for this one.
