Had Spring Ahead Dive Bomber and Eggcited Thrillipede pre-ordered at Amazon, and I just got e-mails saying they are going to be in stock on Feb 7 (this Sunday). My estimated date of arrival is Feb 10 (I have Prime 2-day shipping).

Full price unfortunately. Those wanting to get these later with B1G1 offers in-store should probably wait.

Three weeks before Toys R Us (rumored to be released March 1) seems pretty unusual.

No picture of Thrillipede yet, but there are pictures of Dive Bomber. Here is one showing the Easter packaging similar to Swap Force Easter packaging:

amazon. there's a listing, but it's not live.

I got the same arrival message. Unlike last year, Spring arrives early. I guess they realize the longer they hold out the worse it's getting. Stock simply isn't moving.

Yeah, I went ahead and bit on them, don't want to wait a month and pay the TRU premium (in case of no sale) or wait and see if Best Buy even bothers with them.

All releases have been greatly accelerated this year, I get the feeling they are afraid that by May/June (when it normally finishes up) they feel they won't be able to sell the stock to retailers. Last year retailers obviously weren't interested in the last trap assortment, which is why we never saw the Yawn Traps. And this year the drop off has been even more stark. You can still pick up Dark editions, Amazon has the PS4 Dark Starter for $33.70 and the WiiU Dark Starter (plus Dark Stealth Elf added to the package) for $38.19 right now.

It's too bad Amazon Prime doesn't match 20% off for Skylanders like Best Buy Gamers Club does.

They've matched video games (at least for pre-orders/new releases), but not full price toys to life items.

They did for me for Lego Dimensions just recently.

Wait are you implying the Land Pack releases at the same time or did they just post a picture?

well, when the wave 4 vehicles showed up on amazon.com, it was 1/21/16. the first sighting of wave 4 at TRU was 1/26/16. The power blues also are on amazon.it.

I have a feeling next week will be the first USA sightings of the land pack. Then the easters to follow suit...

just a preditiction

These aren't marked as pre-orders though (where tehy give 20%), they are simply "not in stock". Yeah, they haven't had them before, but it isn't technically a pre-order. The button would say so if it were.

So people who've ordered them have reported their easters "shipping today"

easter is truly coming early.

Just check, my order is preparing for shipping, still estimated for Wednesday (Feb 10).

Is there a list of what is confirmed to be left for release? Regular and variants?

Power Blue Trigger Happy, Splat, Gold Rusher and Splatter Splasher.

Trigger Happy, Gold Rusher Land Racing Pack.

Thrillipede and Buzz Wing.

That's it.

Do you think regular Trigger Happy and Gold Rusher will only be available in the Land Racing Pack? (like gill grunt and reef ripper)

Thanks, def. If my numbers are correct, that means 39 total SuperCharger in-game characters and 31 in-game vehicles. A total of 70 unique in-game figures (that includes Nintendo guest stars, otherwise it's 62).

Trap Team had 80 unique in-game figures (and 59 in-game traps).

Swap Force had 75 unique in-game figures.

Giants had 62 unique in-game figures.

Spyro's Adventure started with 37 unique in-game figures.

34 superchargers & 32 vehicles

My in-game collection must be off (thank you special figure duplicates), but 34 SuperChargers and 32 Vehicles seems right.

I think we can safely settle on a number somewhere between "absurd" and "really?".

^ Agreed *shakes head as he closes his eyes*

People are starting to find at TRU...just a heads up to those who didn't order from amazon

My amazon orer says it's out for delivery today.

Where do I order the Land Racing Packs?

They are not out yet.

Is it still scheduled for the 17th?

Amazon.com has them shipping the 15th the land pack that is.

I mentioned that over in the Wave 4 & 4.5 thread on the Superchargers forum. You can now pre-order (you couldn't until this morning). That's big because Amazon gives Prime members 20% off a game pre-order. The Easter variants weren't posted as pre-orders, just "not in stock (yet)", so no discount.
