With the games release elsewhere, lets keep tabs on what "chase" items seem to be popping up....that way we know what to keep our eyes open for in the hectic release rush!

Just so people remember, there was no chase variants when Swap Force launched. The first one was Green Rip Tide revealed 3 weeks after the release.

There's never been chase figures at launch. Not to say it won't happen, but it hasn't and there's no huge reason for Activision to do it. The general audience for chase figures are the ones who are likely to already be out looking on launch day.

Incorrect actually, there were stone variants on Giants release day (Whirlwind and Zook). I'm pretty sure a buddy of mine got a gold ChopChop on Spyro's Adventure release day, but perhaps it was a week or two later.

Let's put it this way - no one here found chase variants, photos of them or ebay auctions with them listed around the release - they were found all after the release... and folks around here are pretty good about turning up info on chase variants.

Still untrue. We knew about Rock Zook and Rock Whirlwind before Giants even hit shelves.
When Wave 1 for Giants was leaked onto shelves, someone posted a video of the person going through boxes of the new figures, and he pulled out a Rock Zook a few minutes into the video.

And I'll say this again: I found a Rock Whirlwind AND a Rock Zook on the first day of release.

I remembered you finding them, thanks for backing me up here! Makes sense that the initial wave being usually the largest, most chance of finding a chase.

Well, it was actually from the "midnight" release, which many Walmart stores weren't doing.

Wow. I really didn't think the stone variants showed up for a week or two into launch. I was wrong. :D
