Found here in Minnesota...BB Pop Fizz, LL Eruptor and Splat at TRU!!!

I got mine (I'm in Las Vegas, Nevada, for anyone wondering). My store had the same things everyone else's did. LL Eruptor, BB Pop fizz, and Splat. No racing packs, combo packs, or new triple packs, but they did have the terrafin, jet stream and shark tank triple.

According to the guy at the third TRU I visited, they came FedEx ground, which normally comes at about 4 PM. I saw the boxes, and instead of the normal release date, it just said "Put on floor ASAP" (This would explain why some people got them last night, and most got them today. Some TRUs got them in at 4, and inventoried quicker. The others hadn't inventoried yet, and then the stores closed, so it had to wait until the next day.)

Got Splat @ Minnetonka, MN TRU... no vehicles yet.

Anyone known any good stores in New York/North Tonawanda where they're being held, or... no?

Saw them today at the Hamburg TRU. Just the figs, no vehicles yet. I am waiting for Best Buy myself.

My store (South Elgin IL) got in wave 3 characters. 4 boxes, no chase.


4 Pop Fizz, 4 Splat, 3 Eruptor, 1 Jet Vac
Pop Fizz's music horn thing looks really cheap. It's unpainted slightly glittery copper-colored plastic, it looks like it should've been painted over.
Splat is definitely the star of the wave (figure-wise).

Dood you live in South elgin or something? And they Toysrus is by like a target and gamestop? Cause I live right down the street from there, also did they have vehicles and the sky racing pack or just characters?
EDIT: Is it toysrus since they said they had none, I called though was there like a lot when you left the store

Yup, that's the one! That's weird, nobody bought any during my shift that day (but it's not like there was news of a release date either). I don't think they'd be sold out so soon, though.

Here's Thump Truck for you folks

Thump Truck looks like it needs to be custom painted *I guess I'll buy two heh*

Well, finally getting my first part of Wave 3. Still need to find time to buy Legendary Astroblast.

Can someone explain what the heck this is?

I have no clue, could be a color error at the time the screenshot was taken.

My guess an upgraded Splat? It's to similar to regular Splat to be a varient and why give one Skylander two variants in one game? The only time they did that was Spyro with his Leggie and Dark forms in SSA.

I also remember her having blue strains in the preview videos for the vehicles as well. I think she doesn't change appereance when upgraded, so I guess an earlier design?

Maybe, but it's actually used as her picture on the back of the box.

Why there was also a screenshot of Nightfall where her skin and top part of her hair were a matt black, even though it's all just a gloomy black and it was used on her box as well.
Here's a comparison:

How she doesn't look in-game:


How she actually looks in-game:


I also noticed that her hair looks more like smeered paint, rather than the swirly strings we know today.

Oddly enough, only one nearby store got Wave 3 in, at the same time Eon's Elite Slam Bam came in.

Got everything, sadly no sign of Patina Lava Lance Eruptor, but there's still a chance, I guess.

Actually, EE Ghost Roaster was released today as well.

Actually, EE Ghost Roaster was released today as well.

I know that's not true, because the first TRU I went to today had the last three elites out, and when I tried to check out, it was register locked. I couldn't buy them, and they took all the rest to the back. However the second TRU I was at had EE Boomer out on the pegs, and it was register locked, but they overrode that, and I got to buy Boomer. I think the same thing happened to you, and you got very lucky!

Actually saw him at two TRU: Fullerton and Cerritos. I don't buy EE because, unless you're a die-hard collector, they're not worth that much money . Two EE can almost buy 4 SSC: 2 characters & 2vehicles

Still another ten days before , and are out here, but I'm patient. I can wait another week-and-a-half for G and B.

Oh, see. You didn't actually buy them. See, I bet if you had taken them and tried to check out, it would have been register locked.

here´s an unboxing of the sky pack by me:

Is there any news on the UK release?

Got my Wave 3 characters at TRU after picking up Falco this morning.

Almost picked up the iOS starter. They had so many assorted promotions flagged:

$39.99 Starters.
2 characters for $24.
Buy a character, get $10 off a starter.
Free character with purchase of a starter.

All of these flags appeared to have current dates on them. I don't see how anyone is supposed to make sense of it. They all had the same general language that offers cannot be combined, but we all know how iffy that is. So, I just took the four figures and the iOS starter to the register, had them ring up the figures and give me the total. Then, ring up the Starter and give me the new total. Not sure which promotions did what, but it would have been about $35 more (I suspect the starter was $39.99, with $10 off for one character, but that would take the 2/$24 promo off of the character used to initiate that promo, forcing the two characters that *would* have been in that pair back to full retail, which would be about right using fuzzy head math). My magic price-point right now is $25 or less, so I passed. If I *HAD* an iOS device, we could talk, but I feel that $25 is being generous for the included Hot Streak. ;)

I know what I'm about to say sounds strange but, for those of you who have Splat....smell her. I kid you not my Splat smells like a fruity candy.

so she has that new toy smell

Does anyone have any trouble with Splat? I tried putting her on the demo portal at the store, but she wouldn't work. I tried another, and that one didn't work. Does anyone have any troubles using splat?

I used my Splat on my portal for the Xbox One, she's working fine.

Just fully maxed out Splat and LLE. Both impressive.
Just need the following until Wave 4:

Characters: Nightfall, BB Pop Fizz*, BB Roller Brawl **

* = debating on the single or wait for combo pack
**= debating on combo or triple pack, whatever comes out first.

Vehicles: Shield Striker, Thump Truck, Splatter Splasher*, Soda Skimmer**, Tomb Buggy***

*= wait for single or triple pack, whatever comes out first.
**= see Characters
***= wait for combo or triple pack, whatever comes out first

Don't tell me that she's the next Nightfall. Why does it always have to be the best characters?!

No, I don't think so. All the splat's in every store I've went to haven't worked, but so far there haven't been reports of people having troubles with splat, so I think it's just a glitch in the demo portal.

The Portal could just need an update. Nightfall might not have been the only character who was glitched before the recent patch, y'know?

Yeah, my Splat has been working okay. Still so many characters and other racing sky pack in wave 3, strange that just the 3 1/2 characters came out (giving Hurricane Jet Vac a 1/2 since it was already out in a combo pack).

Just smelled my splat, she's been out of the package for about a week and the smell is still there, i said she smelled like jolly ranchers, guess there adding a colorfull smell to the most colorfull character

Just found Splat, Lava Lance Eruptor, and BB Pop Fizz at my Target and my TRU! I'm surprised they weren't street dated

Found a ton of each new Supercharger at Toys R Us. Splat was the most abundant; probably a good choice to stock her well. I picked up and I gotta say, she's even better than I expected! Definitely not the "terribly ugly and bland Boat Goat" I thought of her as when she was first spotted on a poster for the game's announcement.

My tru in Greensboro, nc said the 24th, which is odd considering what day of the week it is. I spoke with the woman that is usually incredibly knowledgeable about all things skylander so I feel like maybe we are just behind here

Weird, my Target doesn't even have wave 2 out even.

Tell them to call the Cary store, or Fayetville, or Raleigh...everyone else has it out.

She says they physically don't have the product. I'm going over there today though for the deal on starters because I finally upgraded to the Xbox one. I'll check and see if another employee says anything different

waiting for Best Buy to get them

Found all four wave 3 singles at TRU for 2/$24 last night. No vehicles or multi-packs. No new EE's, probably will see those on 11/29?

Wii U/3DS games (incl latest releases) are B1G1 40% off Fri/Sat and SSC starters are $40.

-vm

I just got Splat and LL Eruptor, and after seeing some gameplay of the new and improved Eruptor, I can't wait to Supercharge my Burn-Cycle!

The EE Ghost Roaster was register-locked, so I saved one TRU from getting in trouble (Fullerton). But as I saw them putting EEGR away, I saw the 11/29 EE character: Boomer.
Same three figures for Wave 3, nothing else.

my splat from italy arrived WAYYYYY early




(don't mind falco)

she's a pretty fun character. and yes, mine does smell like candy. really artificial candy...

Wasn't so lucky. My boys and I went to about 3 different TRUs in North GA and they were all out. One had a single pack Jet-Vac, so it looks like they had some new stock at one point. I tried asking the employees at each location, but with seasonal jobs now in full swing, they either had no clue as to what I was talking about, or they gave the blanket "what we have out is what we have" response. Guess I'll keep checking in throughout the week. Anyone know when they'll be released to GameStop? I know the manager there so I might have a better shot at getting these ...

Just got part of Wave 3.
Mmmmh...

Astroblast and Splat's figures both have their problems.
I can confirm the former has probably the laziest and blandest paintjob of all the series so far.
He doesn't even have the pearlized effect Knight Light and Spotlight have, almost entirely lacks sparkles and has lots of yellow blots all over it

Splat looks absolutely stunning (has a few really small golden blots here and there but nothing serious) and the only problem is the almost unpainted front of the Magic pedestal.
But she's really weak... Her paint is extremely bendable and her overall figure simply doesn't look strong enough.

Sun Runner is gorgeous.
End of the story.

I love how V.V. always tries new possibilities with their characters (just look at Nightfall or Smash Hit) but they should look out for those problems before deciding a final design.
Simply gluing the paint to her leg would have make it feel a lot more solid.

So where are the vehicles?

Yep.
I'm from Italy, mind it.

Only found that, Splat, Big Bubble Pop Fizz and Lava Lance Eruptor.
No sign of Thump Truck, Shield Striker or the Combo Packs. :/
