Shows Wave 2 available Sunday...well at least the few in the ad!

It looks like Wave 2 is coming to all other retailers on 10/12. We've already heard some reports of GameStop getting the Wave 2 Trap Masters on the 12th, so this just backs it up.

The real question I guess is what about the Mirror of Mystery adventure pack. That was listed as Wave 2, but Toys R Us didn't have it with their Wave 2 early release. Will that be included at Target and Gamestop?

If I remember correctly, the MoM is up for pre-order on GameStop's site with the oher wave 2 trap masters, so I'd say it'll be out near the 12th.

I'm inclined to say MoM isn't at target, as the price shown doesn't reflect the Adventure Pack price.

I think it will be a few weeks until Mirror of Mystery hits. Maybe even a Black Friday thing, seems to be a good option for bringing in people.

What are the numbers of characters in each case so I know who to get now and who to leave until I grow more money haha. I know I need Bushwack since he is a Life Trap Master.

Dahvoo - Are you sure Mirror of Mystery is in wave 2? It hasn't shown up anywhere.

It's probably gonna be a mid-wave release.

I'm not saying that's not the case, but is there a source confirming MoM will be a part of wave 2? I can only recall seeing one website that listed MoM as part of wave 2, and they were saying those were their predictions. Gamestop has it for preorder, but it is listed with a 12/31 placeholder date.

Dark is our source he posted this a while back in a topic. I forget where he said he got it

@SSj3 Derek - ace is correct, I copied this list straight from a post made by Dark a while back. It helped when Toys R Us unexpectedly had Wave 2 traps out early on release day.

I'm kind of with Derek. I mean, I know it's "part" of wave 2, but I don't think it'll be out this Sunday. Why?

1. Adventure Packs from the same wave haven't always been released at the same time as the rest of the wave, I believe.
2. If it was out this Sunday, we'd have seen it leak onto eBay right now. That's always the best indicator.

So , is Nitro Head Rush being released.......since it is at Target?

Nitro Head Rush and mirror will prob come out later on to get ppl into store. That's my guess.

Thank you for this info I was just wondering today when the wave 2 characters would hit elsewhere than TRU. The TRU that is around here is about worthless for stuff like this sometimes, which is why I end up ordering most of mine!

There are some in hand ones up on ebay

I'd expect them at Target sometime next week...it seems some employees with sticky fingers have already listed them on EBay looking to make the first quick buck off of them.

Interesting. Wonder where they're coming from?

Ha! Touche. I swear those weren't there when I had looked earlier.

Well, I'm going to expect them on Sunday too, then.

Take it for what it's worth but I just spoke to a Target guy, asked if they had Bushwhack/LobStar/HeadRush. He came back on the phone rather quickly and said the boxes are street dated for the Sunday flyer, they'll go out Sunday morning "with some big Mystery pack thing".

Could just be that TRu got an early wave of wave 2 and not all of it.

The EBay in hand auctions are from Oklahoma and Texas. It sounds like Gamestop.

That is certainly one possibility. I hope that target employee was right. I guess we'll see.

If it is indeed Target, expect them to botch the release of wave 2, if it includes Mirror of Mystery.

And it's sad to say that the pathetic scalper selling some of those on Ebay, is in my city. I don't know why people buy these things off of Ebay. It's not like Mirror of Mystery won't be readily available soon. Not a matter of if, but when.

lol, I was trying avoid actually saying that, since I know a few people at Target and they are good at their jobs, but yeah, in general Target does not a do a good job with Skylanders.

It's not an isolated incident to Okla. All the ones on ebay right now are from the west half of the country - there, Texas, and Calif. (Except one in Canada) My guess is they are making their way across the country like we have seen in previous waves, and a few employees are doing this. As far as the people who buy them, I guess some people just have more dollars than sense.

Are there only 2 adventure packs? I remember waiting so long for Tower of Time last year...Be nice if all of them are out by Christmastime....and hopefully a Magic trapmaster before Christmas as well.

From what I have seen there are two Adventure Packs and two "Action Packs" related to the Light/Dark dudes and one of the images said something about a "new level" for them.

There is 4 this time.

Well, there are 4 total, Nightmare Express, Mirror of Mystery and then the two that introduce the two unknown elements, Sunscraper Spire & Midnight Museum. Looks like we've lucked out on these for the first time since SSA!

4 adventure packs is way better than 2 adventure and 2 battle packs...Kudos to the game for getting it right this time. Hopefully these new-type adventure packs will just have a trap for the light/dark as well as a figure to go with the adventure item and you can just knock all the needs out for each of the 2 in one shot.

Thanks for the heads up to those that answered.

They kind of backed themselves out of Battle Packs this time when they got rid of PvP, given the big thing for them was to unlock Arena stuff. I guess they could add new forms of the tower mode or something.

I'm personally (as well) hoping the new Light/Dark Action/Adventure Packs come in the form of the regular figure, the level piece and an appropriate trap for the element. That seems like a good compilation that would be worthwhile. You couldn't use the trap with the included figure since it isn't a Trap Master, but you can use any Trap Master with it since everyone has at least Snap Shot. Of course the trap would be pointless if you only have the 3DS version. I doubt the packs will include the Trap Master for Light/Dark.

I'm guessing (and it is just a guess!) that the light and dark adventure packs will come with the light and dark corelanders, with light and dark traptanium gates in those levels, and the trap masters will be sold separately.

Anyone found an ad scan for TRU next week? Wondering if this 40% off and trap deal may keep going.

Both Target and Best Buy had the wave 2 Trapmasters out this afternoon. Best Buy also had MoM. We were able to search on Best Buy's website and order online for store pickup. Central Texas area.

Cool thou target has no sale yet. ..hoping for their b2go soon.

Picked Mirror of Mystery up at Best Buy this afternoon.

Our TRU had wave 2 figures out on Tuesday of this week. I picked up Bushwack and Head Rush already. Took advantage of the B1G1 40% off offer.

I was also able to order a Mirror of Mystery Adventure Pack for in store pickup on Bestbuy.com. All three stores in my area were listed as in stock, eastern PA. Also, I found out while doing this something I did not know: Best Buy Gamers Club Unlocked applies to Skylanders figures. That program gives you 20 percent off all new video games, which I never even considered would work on Skylanders, as they typically ring up as accessories, but they are included. So, if I buy my Skylanders at Best Buy from now on, cores are $8, Trap Masters are $12, and Adventure Packs are $20. I had already bought my games at Best Buy, $80 for Dark, $60 for 360, and $52 for Tablet. I've glad I clicked my way into this thread, or I probably never would have found this out, as I have never bought Skylanders at Best Buy.

Yeah, with Gamer's Club, you get the equivalent of the B1G1 40% off all the time, and you don't have to buy in like pairs. Also, Gamer's Club stacks with all other deals (except price match), so if they have a sale, you do even better. It's a fantastic deal if you are a gamer and can get it on sale ($120 for two years is too high, but you can get it for $60 or $30 on sale or free at times with console purchase). Add in Best Buy doesn't jack up the prices like Gamestop and TRU.

Now, if they could just get their consistent stocking issues under control ...

I purchased a Mirror of Mystery at a TRU in Texas yesterday.

Mirror of mystery is available online at best buy for in store pickup. Going this afternoon to pick it up. All of wave 2 was available at TRU yesterday. I am in NJ.
