There's a reason for this: the most recent shipments of Giants (for the last month or so) to retailers (other than the Scarlet Ninjinis) have come in the "Wave 5" shipment box .... each "Wave 5" Box contains one each of Ninjini, Thumpback, Eye-Brawl, Swarm, Crusher, and Hot Head.

Notice Bouncer is the "odd man out" from that list. That's why he's harder to find right now.

However, I routinely see Bouncers on the shelf still at BJ's stores, left over from the Christmas season. If you can visit a BJ's store, I bet you'd find Bouncer there.

^ I agree. Bj's is your best bet for Wave 1 stuff.

I still see 1 or 2 of him commonly.

Here in Australia, we see more of Bouncer than any Series 2 Skylander, so many in fact that my local Dick Smith store had him on special last month for $6.98, at the stsrt of May he went to the price of $11.98 along with Crusher and Swarm (price drop from $17.98)... hope they get Ninjini in at that price smilie

Took me awhile to look for regular Bouncer, maybe over a month so i decided to check Toys R Us and i found Legendary Bouncer instead and didn't bother looking for regular Bouncer since then. Until now when i check the stores like walmart, bestbuy, futureshop and eb games still no sign of regular Bouncer.

In my area, he has become hard to find, so yes.

Yeah. If "my Target literally has a whole shelf with just him" is "hard to find" to you, then yes... smilie

Now Hot Head, Eye-Brawl and Thumpback, on the other hand...

Don't mention Hot Head and Thumpback to me!

When I bought my Eye-Brawl, he was the only one on the shelf, and I never seen another one since.

Where art thou Thumpback and Hot Head?

Yes, Bouncer becoming harder to find because of the aforementioned reasons. He'll come back up eventually.

RIP GhostRoaster. He's reanimated as TakeYourLemons but occasionally is resurrected from the beyond when needed.

Bouncer aint around like others said so if you see one id pick him up if you need him.
CTFdad Yellow Sparx Gems: 1439
#14 Posted: 18:41:39 19/05/2013
He's the last one we needed and finally got one today. Agreed he is harder to find at retail stores.

I personally, cannot find Bouncer anywhere where I live.
I've looked really hard too.
I did snag the Legendary Bouncer, but I do wanna get the normal guy. I kinda feel bad that I don't have the original version of him. smilie
Maybe I should just bust open the display case and steal him.

Now, if someone needed a Thumpback and could hook me up with a Bouncer. . . smilie
Seriously. All we have where I live is Thumpy and Eye-Brawl. Nothing else for Giants.

I have a boxed Polar Whirlwind and a loose Scarlet Ninjijni to trade! Message me please! <3

From what I can recall I haven't seen many of him either- Then again it depends on where I go- I've seen him in Best Buy and TRU but not really anywhere else. (If I recall correctly)- I've mainly been seeing Swarm. Crusher, Thumpback, Hothead and Eyebrawl.

Best Buy seems to be the best place to find him now. Other than that online is your best bet.
CTFdad Yellow Sparx Gems: 1439
#19 Posted: 02:15:01 20/05/2013
Yup had Legendary and wanted the regular to compete the collection.

I told a couple of people on here when he was 5ish bucks on Amazon to pick him up if you wanted an extra one or didn't have him because be may become the next boomer.

I agree that trying to pick up the Legendary is probably a better idea.

I've only seen Bouncer at my local Best Buy anymore. He was all over until recently. Even amazon had him for 9.99$ for a little while, but now he's 24.99$.
lyshote Blue Sparx Gems: 735

I ended up ordering him on TRU's website.

Bouncer I've seen coming in shipments on wednesdays at target during the normal "giant shipment days" seems that there's atleast 2 x bouncer along with 1 x swarm and 1 x ninjini (regular) in the boxes they put out. I've also seen one at that time at walmart too. I would say that day of the week check your stores if you're looking for him.

Taking that last ride through the sunset on skylanders. Hopefully a return of more classic spyro gameplay in the horizon.

Bouncer is everywhere around here. Over the weekend, he was the only Giant's character I saw at Best Buy and Walmart. Both stores had over 8 of him.
Bazinga Blue Sparx Gems: 884
#26 Posted: 23:59:23 20/05/2013
It shows that it is different by area. However, I would say that he is becoming harder to find.
Doomslicer Gold Sparx Gems: 2037
#27 Posted: 04:16:18 21/05/2013
Yes! Now I don't feel as bad for only buying Wave 1.

I was at Walmart the other day, they had about every giant(except legendaries and variants) except Bouncer. Bouncer was one of my first S2 Skylanders, so I got off lucky.

Plenty of Bouners in my area. I bought one for a bday party my youngest will be attending. I was amazed that the kid didn't have it, but that's fine since Bouncer is easy to find where I live (south Atlanta).
