I just started looking into it a couple of mins ago. From what I've gathered

Best Buy = RL Items
• Wristband
• Stickers
• Drawstring Backpack
• Decorative Carabiner
• Poster
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/se...es&nrp=15&iht=n

Toyrus = Ability to buy mystery character

Gamestop = ability to buy 3 pack

Walmart = I can't tell if there is a pre-order incentive

Anyone know any other retailers that are offering some kind of pre-order bonus? if so, what?

Thanks

I'm only paying $62.00 and free shipping.

Wanna save 12 dollars on your preorder from now till 10/04/2012 (2 days left)
Use the following info:
Promo Code: EMCJNNH224
Expires: 10/04/2012
This is confirmed to work with Skylanders Giants and includes free shipping (more if you want it that day)


Essentially gets you a free figure out of the deal. So...there ya go...

This is Walmart's incentive:

Reserve now and we'll GUARANTEE a Skylanders Giants single character will be available for purchase at the time of pick-up!

*Selection varies and we cannot guarantee availability of a particular character.
Reserve a Skylanders Giants Starter Pack or Portals Owners Pack and Guarantee a Giant single character at launch!

TRU in uk. No pre order bonus. I asked when I recently went in & paid for my pre-order starter pack. Nevermind, can still buy other characters on release day but they didn't know which ones yet.

my whole plan is screwed up now. i had a friend working at TRU that was going to make sure i got the single character, but he got fired today. so looks like i missed out on that one. do we know if there is any other way to get that character or if its a pre order only?

I actually recommend to pre-order at Walmart since they are getting the starter pack with GITD Cynder and GITD Portal of Power

I'm not getting any repeats of old chars, no matter the pose or lights... I have all of them except stump smash, chop chop, and the yeti one, only reason I don't have the yeti one is I'm going to add that as a christmas present. The other two are bleh chars, but if they had chop chop and stump plus a new char I might get that just to complete the set.


The game and everything is for my 6yr old. When he was really into the first game I had to learn a lot about it. Nothing against the game it's just sooo easy after you do all the levels and beat it, it's hard to want to play it again except when he has a friend over that wants to play it with him. I've read they are going to add in some kind of difficulty meter in the new one so that will be nice.


With the way they are doing these new chars I'm probably only going to be getting singles though. I get the incentive from the company, selling the same chars COST nothing in development, and ect. So I don't hold it against them, but I won't be taking part.

TRU preorder now only Free Legendary Trigger Happy, discontinued free Bash & guarantee of a single character.

Gamestop is worst place to preorder. No incentive to buy from them. Can just pre-order Golden Dragonfire Cannon pack separately.
