What's strange to me is that this year the only thing they're holding back for future waves is Dark creation crystals. Otherwise, there are senseis of all the battle classes (if you count Chompy Mage, with Flarewolf coming soon) and elements already available, and the same goes for creation crystals (with a limit on the number of Fire crystals at the moment). Usually the release schedules have been a bit more coy than that, I guess in an attempt to reinvigorate interest with each successive wave.

Yes, Wave 3's release next month will bring us to the point where anyone can reasonably pick up anything they want for the game, excluding specific Sensei characters or Crystal molds...

But here are the things you can't readily go to the store and buy now, that one could be assumed to "need" to complete the content inherent to the game:

Dark Creation Crystals -- Currently only available in the Dark starter pack, which itself has limited availabilty.

Fire Creation Crystals -- Currently only available in starter packs.

A Bazooker Sensei -- NOT currently available; you had to pre-order the Amazon 5-villain bundle to get Chompy Mage. If you didn't, you're S.O.L. until Amazon gets more in, Wave 3 comes out or you decide to pay a scalper... whichever comes first. (NOTE: There are a number of people who DID pre-order, and their orders were outright cancelled due to lack of supply.)

Two Adventure Packs -- Thumpin' Wumba Islands is only available in special PS3/PS4 starter packs, and Enchanted Elven Forest isn't available at all.

How about none because they could easily fit into wave 4.
Also unreleased figures isn't a wave problem, but rather a sales problem. Anyone remember Kickoff Countdown? HE CAME OUT IN JUNE

I got him as a birthday present like two years later

I didn't know about the shortage of the Amazon five-pack; thanks for the information. Bummer for those who pre-ordered and still didn't get it, though. =/

So, effectively, Dark creation crystals and the Bazooker class are currently unavailable to the average player (ie people who didn't buy a dark starter pack and/or pre-order the Amazon pack). Fire crystals are in short supply, but almost everyone should have at least one.

My guess is that Dark crystals will be released some time in December - it seems unlikely that Activision would make players wait until February/March for those when they could make a killing releasing them in time for Christmas instead.

The Amazon 5-pack is an interesting beast. A friend ordered one two days ago and it arrived today. I ordered one yesterday and it hasn't been cancelled yet.

I actually hope no one becomes the next yawn trap cause I want to get all of them and I'm not paying 50 dollars for one Skylander
