My Gamestop guy now had Spring Ahead Dive Bomber and will be getting Eggcited Thrillipede soon. I can't get either right now because I hit a deer with my car yesterday and it's pretty badly damaged. It'll need to be in the workshop for a while. He said he'd hold it for me, which is good. Hopefully, when I go get it, he'll have both of them. (Oh, and don't worry, the deer was fine. It just got up and then ran off like nothing happened.)

Well, animal lover enthusiasts aside---and more importantly, I'm glad YOU are fine. It's no small affair to be entangled with one of them on the road.

Thanks for your concern. I'm fine. I was just a little shook up.

has been confirmed there will be no release for these in Australia.

I'm not surprised. That just means Australia probably had low sales which if they are going to start not shipping certain figures means they're really not making the money this time and only putting out low assortments now to those that do. I'd be a little worried if there's going to be more waves there now.

Dick move by Activision

Agreed. Will the power blue variants be on Amazon by any chance?

Most likely. Everything Skylanders turns up there eventually. You might have to pay more, but you can still get them.

Darn - just found out I might not be able to get to my Toys R Us on March 1st. My car is pretty badly damaged. I seriously hope that it can get fixed in time...

Most likely toys r us will have them online. If you don't find them in a walmart store, best to look there.

Thanks! I appreciate the help, but I don't really like ordering things online unless I have to. I really appreciate the suggestion, though.

I come back and see they are using autism (which I have) as a marketing tool and partnered up with AUTISM. ****ING. SPEAKS.

And how exactly is it wrong that they're using the money generated by these figures, to donate to charities that work to combat autism? Yes, Acti could just donate anyway, but how is incentivizing their customers to give money for a good cause morally wrong?

Autism Speaks has been known to treat autism like a disease which can be cured or spread. The idea of a variant which ties in with charity is good, but Autism Speaks was a poor choice. They are universally loathed by the autistic community (myself included) and treat autism incorrectly.

I see. Fair enough. I assume that would be like making figures for "animal abuse awareness" and giving the proceeds to PETA?

Exactly like that,AzarianGO. I don't have any articles with me in this laptop but I remember before yesterday that someone was checking their registration page and it had gems like "I was touched by autism by: (insert relatives here)". They have the mentality that autism is an evil disease, plus the whole antivax and encouragement that your kid is a mistake and inside you'll find your "real" child(of course they'd never said it out loud,but they mean your kid with autism dying young is a good thing).

I have gone to my two local WalMarts daily with no luck!!

Might wait for March 1st as it seems that is the more official launch date

Not all walmarts will get them I checked in my walmarts system and only one store in 150 miles from me was even carrying them so unless you are in a major city you might be out of luck at Walmart

SCL Matt has confirmed that both Gamestop and Toys R Us are holding the Power Blues for March 2nd. I guess I'll be alright after all. My Gamestop guy understands my current situation and will hopefully hold them for me, as well as Eggcited Thrillipede, whenever that comes in to my local Gamestop.

My local GameStop had Power Blues out today. Didn't need them, so left them hanging along with all the other shelf warming landers.

My GameStop says they can't put them out until the 1st

1st or 2nd, either one seems to be the case.

Yep, i went into gamestop RIGHT AS they opened the box with the blues. i was just about to get triggs, and then street date.

Hopefully they start to show up online to buy other than eBay

I'm on Oklahoma City. I didn't know if I was street dated, because I already got them from Walmart.

All of these different dates of release for the same figure just shows how out of touch Activision is with the release of products. Walmarts can sell them now, while GS and TRU says the 2nd. Best Buy and Target, who knows if or when they'll get them. They gotta get their act together.

I wonder if GS/TRU is holding them for an advertisement. I can't imagine a legitimate reason why they'd hold 'em back and let Walmart get the sales off of them for a few weeks.

Apparently it's because we don't have the Charity Autism Speaks. Even though we do have an Autism Charity/Organisation. SuperChargers was pretty terrible in Aus. Stores in Australia don't order a lot in hence why we got Yawn Traps, stores weren't over stocked in other traps. But even then we still have stuff from the first wave of SuperChargers sitting on the shelves. It's just not a hit here in Aus, plus it's too expensive for parents to buy all the figures for their kids.

I've never heard of autism before... so I guess that means we won't get them either?

Still not all major cities either. I have been off an on checking Walmarts in my area for the past week and none of them have them, and I am in a major city. They have the Easter ones and Wave 4, but no Power Blues. I had them check one of the Item IDs and nothing shows up. Maybe the lack of sales have affected the spotty distribution of these variants.

I'm not in a huge city, but I'm in a capital city so I'd expect at least ONE of our Walmarts to get these. I go to all 4 daily and have had employees search for the UPCs and they also don't show up in their system. I'm really hoping TRU or GameStop gets these or I'm going to be out of luck...

Fortunately TRU and Gamestop still do care about Skylanders, so that shouldn't be a problem. Walmart has been increasingly disinterested in keeping their Skylanders stock up to date, hence the inconsistency.

Haven't found any of the PB at Walmart, just Easter variants and the latest two combo packs. TRU still has them on lock-down until 3/1 or whenever they're released.
My TRU in Fullerton, CA, got a case of Scarlet Ninjinis.
THEY'RE STILL GETTING STUFF FOR SG, SSWF AND STT!
The latest EE aren't selling as well either, especially when TRU hikes up the price an extra $2 more than retail.
It's hilariously funny to see DI and Skylanders have in stock items since their inception (yes, I've seen DI 1.0 and SSA still in stock) and Lego Dimensions is nearly empty.
I don't feel sorry for Disney or Activision for overhyping their products only to have leftovers from their beginnings and are unable to get rid of them, especially SSA, SG and SSF items

I hope some tt w4 cases show up.

I think it's the same in German. Maybe with a little bit of a variation to the word. Here's the definition; a mental condition, present from early childhood, characterized by great difficulty in communicating and forming relationships with other people and in using language and abstract concepts.

I have been to about 20 different stores numerous times and I have never seen a Lego Dimensions display not completely stocked. At least in southeastern Michigan, to me it seems that no one is buying Lego Dimensions.

Gamestop and TRU employees confirmed March 1st as the power blue release date.

cool. i'll buy PB triggs then.

Thanks for posting. Hopefully Toys R Us sends out a hot toy alert e-mail or puts them in their printed ad.

My local store has been horrible with the last few new releases and I'd rather avoid the hassle unless I have something to show them.

A GS employee who has helped me numerous times said that my GS would only get 1 of each power blue and only 3 of them were even available (No PB Gold Rusher). I got the 3 reserved but for people trying to get them be there when the store opens.

It looked like my local gamestops have good supply of the 4.

These PBs will be everywhere soon, no worries, the walmart we got ours at had at least 5 of each. TRU will have much more.

I know. I lucked out (Early bird gets the worm). I actually got a hold of a PB Gold Rusher in another town that will be delivered to my GS that day. I got all 4 and the last of the 4.

Walmart must not have a street date or don't care and put them out anyways. However TRU has a street date of 3/1/2016.
I was at my TRU this past weekend and they had the PB Skimmer on the pegs but not the others. I asked if they had the others in the back, when he came back he said he found them but they have street date of 3/1/2016. He scanned the Skimmer and it was also street dated, he said they must have put them out when they put out the Easter set by mistake. I have to wait for 3/1 to get PB set.

Wal-Mart in Erie, PA had all but Trigger Happy, the one I wanted most.

I saw the PB Splat and Trigger Happy at GameStop. The employees know me there, so one of them brought them out. I asked if they were street-dated, which they are: 3/6, so they might be doing another Skylander Day. But right now, all single pack vehicles and drivers are $9.99 each.
And they've got the latest two combo packs

Same for me Eggman1115 I found all but Trigger Happy in a Walmart with a friends help in Springfield Illinois.

I found out that Eggcited Thrillipede is coming into my local Gamestop March 1st. While nothing has been confirmed in my area, I can only assume that is when the Power Blues will release there, too. I would go to Toys R Us, but's difficult at the time, considering my current situation.

so this is a thing huh?

2 segment antennae Thrillipede vs 3 segment antennae Thrillipede.

errors are not for us, but someone on this site may be interested to check their local shops for 2 segment antennae Thrillipede.

this is not our posting, we dont sell our skylanders.
