Whoever is organising the Australian release waves are doing a crappy job!

I read in envy your talking about Wave 4 predictions. In Australia we currently have:


FIGURES

Wave 1 - all released BUT Nitro Krypt King was only released last week!

Wave 2 - All Trap Masters NO Cores or Reposes NO Mirror of Mystery

Wave 3 - none

TRAPS

Wave 1 - all released

Wave 2 - all released about 3 weeks after Wave 1

Wave 3 - all released

Is any other country's released so screwed up?? As it was Quickdraw RattleShake and Lightcore Bumble Blast never made to our shores at all.

An EB Games Employee told me today that there not expecting and more shipments of new characters this year

Wave 2 trap masters arrived last week - no cores though

At my Target, the Wave 2 traps come a week before the actual Wave 2 SkylanderSkylander and it's the same with Wave 3.

I'll be honest...you guys are true fans because I'm not sure I could support the franchise with this kind of lackluster support.

Damn. I thought our schedule was screwed up. AUS/NZ got us beat hands down.
So far, the only thing out for Wave 3 are Small Fry/Weeruptor & Gill Runt/Thumpling (Minis). That's it.
Got those, plus won a High Five. My TRU is still getting more Giants stuff - a case of Legendary Bouncers. Plus single cases of MoM & 8-pack traps.

i feel sorry for you aus guys, i hope it get sorted after xmas.

haha if we took this advice we would never watch, play, read or collect anything hahaha
its pretty much the same with most video games, movies, television series, books, toys and collectables, we usually get them about a month after they are released in the US.
there are exceptions of course, we are starting to get some video games released a couple of days earlier, but at the expense of pretty much any further support, where its needed. and its a big thing for TV channels to advertise shows to have an episode "only days after the US"

Personally, i prefer how we get the split waves, it makes it less of a strain on the weekly budget. As long as we get the rest of a wave before the U.S gets the next one, which sadly it doesn't seem like thats going to happening for wave 3 though.
it is kinda weird we got the wave 3 traps before we finished with wave 2 though.

I can totally understand DELAY...what I'm referring to are simply NO RELEASES of certain content/figures. Still, you have lots and lots of patience

Yet another reason why I feel no guilt over buying>using to unlock>returning characters. If they can't be bothered supporting their own franchise why should I?

Love how we were the first to get the actual game and yet three parts of nothing since. Surely they should have released it here last if they had no intention of releasing the waves here at roughly the same time as they are overseas.

I thought we would at least have mirror of mystery by now. I would like to 100% the game but I am not playing until I can, which means waiting for the light & dark packs and a magic trap master.

Just got off the phone with EB Customer Service the Light and Dark Packs will be out on the 1st week of January also with the Lob Goblin Variant Pack aswell

nope but i assume about the same time

From what I hear, NZ's releases before were pretty similar but they missed out on more stuff. To anyone from NZ: how are your releases this time?

NZ Releases:

Figures:
Wave 1: All non-variant figures were released. (The only variants we got were in the Dark Starter Kits)
Wave 2: Nothing yet
Wave 3: We wish

Traps:
Wave 1: All available
Wave 2: Starting to appear in stores
Wave 3: Nope

Variants:

We have Winterfest Lob Star! (but not the regular one yet)
We don't get Legendaries anywhere in NZ

Just got wave 3 triple packs at target in Melbourne !!! . High five , cobra kadabra etc

I work at target in QLD and saw the wave 3 triple packs out the back this morning, bought them as soon as i saw them, High five, trail blazer, bat spin, jet pac, fryno and cobra kadabra

Although still no wave 2 cores, we did get wave three traps in though

What store and where do you live?

Queensland, Capalaba Target, but id assume if we have it there other stores in our area will have them soon

I've seen gearshift at eb games nz, and hog wild Fryno buddy pack at the warehouse,

Nothing in WA yet. I went to every store in Lakeside Joondalup.

You know, we should NOT be treated like this, Australia and New Zealand should get there releases the same time, if not just a few days after

I remember in Giants, some waves were 1 month after release and it was incredibly annoying.

Someone should definately contact activision about this !

It's pretty bad. I'm in no rush to get them.

I went to NEW ZEALAND FOR A HOILDAY AND Nothing i found nothing
Wave 1: Everything [only variants are the darks] [but no 3ds is out]
Wave 2 traps only
Wave 2 1/2: Small-fry buddy pack and winterfest lobstar [and forsome reason tablet start pack is late]
Wave 3: and + + and the dark and light action packs for pre order!
Horrable i know!

is the hands on bat spin the hands from double trouble??

Wave 1:
Trap masters run out quickly. Now I only see and figures. The others are gone.

Cores are fine.

Traps are really hard to find from this wave, I only see water and life traps.


Wave 2:
only saw 's for a long time, then last weekend for the first time I see and 's

No mirror of mistery. No cores or reposes

Traps are fine

Wave 3:
Nothing!

Well the Wave 2 Trap Masters have finally arrived in NZ. No cores/reposes or the MOM pack yet though

I was looking forward to wave 2 cores and Mirror of mystery adventure pack. Very disappointed with Activision for dropping the ball on this one .................

I don't think they "dropped the ball", I think they just didn't bother.

I feel like I'm rewarding bad behavior when I buy figures. Good thing I've pretty much stopped.
