The only thing that is remotely uncommon is Lightcore Smolderdash. They sent out less Lightcores this time, and she only had 2 in each case. Add to that that she has no other form available, yet.

Wave 2 is obviously not as common, simply because they didn't get as many cases ... yet. And it isn't at every store ... yet. It will probably be easier to find in a couple weeks, simply because there are many more shipments on the way and once the people that have to buy 5 because ZOMG NEW STUFF MUST BUY THEM FOR EVERYONE I'VE EVER MET get their fill. Flashwing, Sprocket and Hothead were wave two last year - and we all know how common they were by Thanksgiving.

All the stores near me in Australia had massive stock even nitro magna charge. I hope it continues that way cause last year with giants was horrible

I wonder how Enchanted Hoot Loop is going to be for rarity? Is it going to more of a figure like Granite Crusher or Jade Flashing where it was only available for a few weeks and then gone or is it going to be more like Walmarts other exclusives (Red Drill Sargent, GITD Sonic Boom)? I am leaning towards it being more limited like Molten Hot Dog was for them. Not that I have any source but it is just my guess consider one Walmart near me only got one full box of them which was gone within 12 hours and another one didn't receive any. Plus the original Walmart advertisement did mention that he was going to be a limited run.

Also, can we assume that Nitro Magna Charge isn't going to be around for very long? Keeping up with Target tradition. I would imagine that they would stick around a little bit longer simply because it is more of an investment $30 to buy it as a double pack. Plus, not everybody needs the two figures they decided to pack him with.

Pretty much all the exclusives will be a nightmare to get at some point. With Wal-mart ones we get two boxes and when they're gone, they're gone....with the exception of the friggin store-specific chase variants we can NEVER seem to sell off...

Seriously, you do not want to know how many GITD Sonic Booms we have at our store just sitting around, not to mention Pumpkin Eye Brawls (though those finally sunk into the single digits).

In Australia we have plenty of every figure. Target has heaps of the nitro twin packs. I'm guessing some will be rare eventually. When giants came out, series 2 Hex was available in wave 1, but I didn't buy her. The next week when I looked, they were all gone. I saw her a few times in the 3- pack but didn't buy it because I already the other two figures. Everywhere I looked I could never find her. I eventually folded and bought it from eBay from the UK.

When I went to Target and Big W today there was plenty of stock, though Target seemed to have much greater stock levels. I picked up a smilie and smilie twin pack despite not having the game yet; after all, there's no telling how long Target will have them available to buy. smilie

Well since wave two isnt fully released until between 10-27-13 and 11-1-13 you think some are going to be hard to find? The few TRU's I saw and checked had 3 cases of each coming for the Sale on get it before it's out on 10-16-13. I said some TRU's and I am not saying all got this case amounts. Hang tight Targets Ad has them for 10-27-13 Which is a Sunday. So good luck everyone and go get them...

Countdown, Rollerbrawl, all remodels, specifically Blizzard Chill. I don't have the game, but this is who I saw the least of at my local stores.

To my surprise the LC Grim Creeper, Smolderdash, and Star Strike vanished....despite many mothers complaining they were $12.99 vs the $9.99 normal figures. Activision or whomever was quite clever releasing the LC versions first. Had they released the normal versions first they woulda made less money (though I'm sure it costs slightly more to make a lightcore).

I'd have to agree though that everything is plentiful, it might just take hitting up several stores as stock fluctuates. I'm not liking how Wave Two came out only at TRU USA, but then I sit and realize we've got a ton to play with until its released everywhere else!

I actually had no problem finding anything for Wave 1. My brother in law and I went right after church (So around 9 AM) to the stores in the expectation that variants would be wiped out. I found everything we wanted and more. The only one that was scarce was Smolderdash, but we still had no trouble getting her. It was just that there weren't many left when we did. Everyone else had numerous figures on the shelf and, having looked yesterday, there are still some legendaries left at TRU around here.

Yeah no issues here in West TN. Plenty of stock for Swap Force at all stores. I'm sure it will be depleted around christmas.

Wal-Mart was massively dissappointing. It's like nobody knew they released it. Disney Infinity had a more pronounced display than Swap Force does.

One of my Wal marts had only like three hot heads and the rest taken up by infinity. When we asked about enchantedsmilie they didn't even have a clue that swap force was SUPPOSED to be out
