His similar action when he found the Dark trap tells otherwise though.

No source, no harm, no foul.

Must buy now!!!!!

Well, IMO, zap found it and shared before we did, so I thank him!! And technically, the real source of ANYTHING is activision, we are just puppets on a string for them!! *shakes head at all the haters*

Back on topic.....I heard he will be at target here in the US around 12/07/14, hope we see him soon!!

Santas a lobster now

It's still annoying.

YES!

If there is one thing we can be sure of, it's that he will be out pre-12/25/14.

Is there some special hat that can only be added after placing Winterfest Lob-Star on the portal much like with Jolly Bumble Blast, Springtime Trigger Happy and Kickoff Countdown?

I'm guessing we won't know until someone tries it.. I hope so though

He'll likely appear like the other Skylander alter egos, like Jolly Bumble Blast.

There is a gif involving the Pokémon Haunter I'd post here, but it's inappropriate and would get modded. You're just trying to get more popular, huh?

Looks like Jolly Bumble Blast's colour scheme

Awesome looks great. Getting it for sure. When is he coming out ?

If Jolly Bumble Blast is anything to go by, we are looking at an early December street date (probably on a Sunday) in the US. It won't be Black Friday (or that weekend) since he isn't in any of the circulars. Probably the Sunday after (Dec 7th) to give a decent lead time before the holidays.

this is my new favorite variant. i will keep him out all year round. bumble blast was nowhere near this awesome.

He looks so cool! Hurry up and get in my Toys R Us (Target?) store, Winterfest Lob Star!

Dec 7th eh. Ok I can live with that. Yeh he's much more better then bumble blast. My ebgames ( game stop ) had jolly bumble early in the morning on the date he was released so I'm going there for winterfest.

No unlockable hats through alt-decos of Trap Team figures. The 3DS Trap Team game lists 245 available hats, which are all obtainable within the game except for the special hats from the three figures you mentioned and the UFO hat from the pre-order card.

He should be here soon, since there are a few red rock lobsters "in hand" now listed on ebay..

The only "In Hand" ones are from the Netherlands. The US ones are pre-orders.

^they ship to US though, this is how I got my first JFK! Shipping was very fast considering distance..

However, you do have to pay about 3 times what they will be worth retail here, then international shipping to *maybe* get it a week earlier. It isn't going to be hard to find, just keep your eye out and be patient - it will be out here soon.

I am, this is just usually a sign he will be here soon, that's all! Just excited, don't ruin it for us, lol

Has anyone thought how will Winterfest Lob-Star look, while boiled...?

I mean, they could make the white parts disappear... Or they could give him a darker red tint, or even an almost purple one.

What do you think?

Boiled Lob-Star? No way, he would be twice the price, lol

Aaaaah... Actually, it's not a new variant I was taking about.

You may not know it but

So, my question is, since his Winterfest version is already mostly red, how do you think he will look?

I just asked my middle son, and he confirmed your spoiler, lol.. He also was curious as to what WFLS will look like boiled...

I doubt the color from the boiled move will look any different than the red from regular Lob-Star. Like how if you use Jolly Bumble Blast with the bee cannon path, the upgraded part of the cannon with the triple stingers didn't keep the alt-deco colors and changed to normal Bumble Blast colors.

I know, but, then it may seems difficult to understand when he's boiled and when he's not.

I know there is also a steam effect on him, but, kids may find it hard to distinguish.

Think about Fryno; he turns to different colors, according to his temperature.
Wouldn't have be a mess, if it was red or yellow from the start...?

I think winterfest will turn golden

Winterfest Lob-Star looks even cooler than Jolly Bumble Blast. That's for sure.

It just seems to me that they don't put much thought into how these alt-decos will look after certain upgrades. I doubt they took into consideration that Lob-Star already turns red during the boiled move, so Winterfest should boil as a different color. Biggest mistake has to be Quick Draw Rattle Shake after this soul gem.

That's true, but I would like to point out two things:

- Quick Draw Rattle Shake is completely fine, until you buy his Soul Gem, and, unless you get hit by an enemy, you cannot see his special color again. However, Lob-Star has his boiling ability since the beginning, so, it would be quite strange if they didn't considered that, when creating his Winterfest variant;

- V.V. created and coded Quick Draw, not TfB, and frankly, the former doesn't seems to put much efforts in variants (Nitros weren't faster and, if I remember correctly, Legendaries and maybe also Darks weren't that much powerful), unlike the latter.

I think he will at least turn a darker tint of red, when boiling.

one of Lob-Star's attack is to boil himself, turning red.

HAH!

Knew that! TfB never disappoints you with these little details!

Thanks!

Thanks skylandsfan, been waiting for some WFLS game play

Thanks skylandsfan, been wasting for some WFLS game play

No Problem I saw it and thought y'all would like to see it.

I was (half) right!

Winterfest Lob-Star out in Aus. I like him so much (and I'm so excited to have Lob-Star) that I bought one for each path. Legendary Déjà Vu was also out so I bought one
