They do appear from time to time, but it seems from my personal experience the staff take most of them. You won't find any at EB because stock get shipped to the EB warehouse before it goes to the stores.



Hmm so which one you got? And from where? Isn't it prohibited for the staff taking all the special one..? Is it toys r us staff?



I haven't got any. I am not a staff member at any store, but when I have asked if the staff have seen any I get one of 3 responses. They are

1. Never seen one.
2. My manager keeps them for himself (got this response from every JB hifi I have asked at)
3. I found a few when I stacked the shelf and I bought them for myself.

I know at Kmart/Big W/Target it is an instant dismissal if you use your staff discount to profit. As long as they don't use their staff discount they can pretty much do what they want. Apparently it's manager discretion if they are allowed to hold stock.



I hope it actually out for customers to hunt and happy finding treasure... And hopefully they do not do this for the swap force... I think in Au not many people is finding these variants rather than in US..

Tones of Jade Flashwings and Scarlet Ninjinis are Werribee Target, VIC. Also picked up an error lightcore Jetvac there with a white beak smilie

I was also lucky enough to get all 4 sidekicks with my Swap Force Pre-Order as they had ran out of Polar Whirlwinds!

Does anyone know when we might be getting the Giants Sidekicks promo here (IF we get it at all)? Or the Pumpkin Eyebrawl and Gnarly Tree-Rex singles? Has anyone seen Lightcore Hex in aus?

You wouldn't get polar whirlwind until you picked up your pre order, so they can't have run out yet as the stores would have never of got any.

As for the giant kick we won't get the same promo here. We might get them here next year it only took a year for EB to get them.

I have seen plenty of lightcore Hex at kmarts.

Hmm that's what the guy at eB told me, so I'm still eligible for the polar whirlwinds you reckon even tho I took the sidekicks? And darn I've been to 5 kmarts regularly and they never have them

Do you guys know where to find HOT HEAD? It's the only figure missing from my giants collection and its killing me.
BashBigFan Yellow Sparx Gems: 1695
#621 Posted: 22:48:37 31/07/2013
Your best bet is suburb kmart or target as in melb cbd nothing is in sight for giants except crusher swarm and bouncer.. In other cities not too sure..

I don't think so, the only variant left is Polar whirlwind and that is a swap force pre order bonus for JB and EB.

Maybe Gnarly soon?

And also about the Hot Head, your best chance is Big W or Toys R Us, my Big W and Toys R Us has HEAPS of Giants just sitting there, with quite a lot of Hot Head.

Omg.... Was planning to buy the starter pack at later stage for any special pack and it come in first... I'm torn !! Shud i preorder this....
SkyMum Blue Sparx Gems: 731
#637 Posted: 03:22:41 13/08/2013
Ok.....so I have swap force starter pack on pre order with EB. Now they have announced the special Dark Forces edition. However, the EB website doesn't list a Wii U edition. As the gamestop UK site does, we can be pretty certain that there will be a Wii U version of the Dark Forces can't we?

Not sure which to go with now.....and when will the figures in these starter packs become available for single purchase. My kids will probably want both types of swapforcers!
mantez Emerald Sparx Gems: 3167
#638 Posted: 04:07:32 13/08/2013
The Wii U edition was there this morning. Maybe they went through their allotment.

How come EB are so expensive? $98 for the normal starter and $79 elsewhere?

I think I'll hold off until they drop the price and get polar separately.

EB will price match as JB Hifi have the same pre order bonus and at JB it's only $79.

Have you tried?
mantez Emerald Sparx Gems: 3167
#643 Posted: 10:31:51 13/08/2013
Yep, I price match all the time. JB are offering exactly the same deal pre order swap force and get polar whirlwind. They should price match it no questions.

You can get it on PS3, WII and 360. The Dark pack contains 5 Dark variants that are not available anywhere else. I think the portal is different as well.

This was my point above, $40 extra for the dark edition? And if it's exclusive you can't price match.

I really want this, but I won't buy it - on principle.
