Alright, you might remember me asking about Wave Three a while back, but I'm not here for that. Besides, only the Trap Masters are left from it and those are pretty easy for me...

Anyway, I am finally beginning to get Wave 4, and yet again, the Cores are tending to be the rarest, specifically Echo, Spotlight, and Blackout. I managed to nab Echo from a Gamestop a while back, but what about the other two? Are they still shipping with the rest of wave 4, has it stopped shipping out, or are they expected to ship with Wave 5?

Where do you live ?

Boise, Idaho area. I don't know another soul here on DarkSpyro who lives around me.

They've been here in the Netherlands. Still hard to get tho.

Wow. I feel like I see these two everywhere. I had no idea they were hard to get.

I've only seen Spotlight 1 time and that was when I bought her, and ive never seen Blackout.

Southern Illinois/Indiana.

In any case, they are pretty hard to get here. I haven't seen them a single time. I know I've seen other Wave 4 cores, just not them.

I don't see them anywhere. Charlotte NC area.

I just pulled up a search on Gamestop's website for my area. Apparently, only one store in the default search radius has Blackout in stock, while three have Spotlight. Hm. I swear I've seen these guys around a lot. Maybe I'm crazy.

Haven't seen them and even high five in a while. Grabbed the last blackout and one of the 2 spotlights available, haven't seen echo outside of us amazon. Have yet to witness a trailblazer.

Have to agree cores seem rarer, at least in west canada. Hopefully we get a restock of cores

Cores seem rarer here in Idaho as well. The only Trap Masters that have went up in price really are Wildfire, Krypt King, and Wallop, and we all know why that happened. Wave 1 isn't shipping anymore. Hopefully I can manage to nab Blackout before he completely disappeared. Wish I got him while he was up on Amazon...

I see too many spot lights around, and no black-outs. NYC area

I never saw any of them here near Toronto

I'm not too far from you (Seattle area). Over here I haven't seen any of the wave 4 cores since the day they came out, at least at TRU. Best Buy/Target manage to surprise me every now and then.

True that, Aerin. Best Buy particularly for me. That's where I managed to nab the elusive Wildfire and Krypt King after they started becoming rare, and Target is also notable cause that's where I found Trail Blazer and Cobra Cadabra. But right now, Gamestop is doing it for me. But who knows, maybe Target and Best Buy could be my saving grace.

All the dragons are pretty common where i live which is kinda sad since i think i live in Nowhere Land umm i mean Namibia .

The wave 4 cores (including Blackout and Spotlight) were plenty, for a while (except for Echo), but they have since depleted. They aren't necessarily rare, but more popular. I was surprised to pick up an Echo, the other day, but no sign of a Blackout/Spotlight. I really doubt they changed case assortments. They're just getting bought up (I wouldn't doubt mostly by scalpers) as soon as they come in.

Ontario... Was the hot spot I found for Idaho... I stayed in Boise for a weekend last year...Caldwell.. Meridian... Nampa...all had nothing... But Ontario had everything ...picked up 3 light core pop fizz...2 polar whirlwinds...3 series 2 bash...worth the short drive...or call down there!

When i was in TRU picking up Enigma last week, the employee told me they had just got a decent sized shipment of Echo/Blackout/Spotlight/Wave 4 the previous weekend on their regular truck. After the initial release they don't come in on UPS/Fedex since they aren't time sensitive, but they have been getting them fairly regularly. I would bet they are also part of the Wave 5 assortment along with Flip Wreck and Fling Kong.

These will prob become that wave where you get them when they come out or you dont. I think last yr it was the wave with scratch, hot dog series2

I was visiting the Toronto (Canada) area the past few days and the selection of wave 4 stinks except for Best Buy. I did see a few Spotlight and light expansion packs...it seems Canadians like the dark element more. I did see a Wildfire at an EB Games store.

from how it looks spotlight and blackout will have more releases with the waves since they are the dark and light element cores, so they would show up in both waves of 4 or 5 with more per wave 5 most likely. echo will be the one that will be like scratch with a limited run based on how popular she is and how many times on amazon she runs out and the fact best buy you have to do store pick up to get her. with flip wreck coming soon and he's another water type. chances are she'll be the rare core to find soon enough.

So, who should I get instead? I don't have the Wave 3 Trap Masters (except Blastermind, I nabbed him), or the Wave 4 and Enigma. I don't have High Five, Bat Spin, Rocky Roll, Spotlight, or Blackout as of now. I don't even have the Mirror of Mystery yet. Who should I get if I should wait for Blackout and Spotlight?

The 3 for $33 sale ending tonight at TRU may be your friend.

Ah, that won't do me any good. The only ones on the list for the sale are Short Cut and Thunderbolt, there isn't a third.

try toy r us, they have them at least they had last time i checked.

The worse case thing happening is them not coming out in your country at all. Like we did in the Netherlands with the last wave of Skylanders Giants. I was upset never to get a S2 Drobot.

You know what's funny? On Best Buy, I an order every figure that's out except Blackout. How crazy is that?

I've only ever seen blackout once. that was when i bought mine.

Bestbuy seems to have them.

Thank You goldenrushducks, Just ordered both. Saw these both ONE TIME in store and did not pick them up due to not having the Dark or Light Adventure packs. Now that I have them, these were nowhere to be found.

I got the two from Best Buy myself, just a few days ago actually. Glad I got them, cause now I can focus on getting the Mirror of Mystery finally!

Finding these have been extremely hard in the Atlanta, GA area. I have seen ONE Blackout, and never once a Spotlight. We've never seen Breeze/Pet-Vac or Barkley/Whisper Elf 2-packs either. Weird.
