That paint job looks terrible.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

:lol: Just got back from one of the local stores hoping that image on the site would mean a few random ones in stock. Nope... Now the trips start to get this one as it's *highly* desired by the kids in my house. :D

I don't mind the coloring... looks like someone dumped some mustard on their hot dog...

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Molten Hot Dog is available online now. I chose site-to-store with an arrival date of 3/8/13. Thanks Krayzie!

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Thanks for the link Krayzie and for the "gone live" heads-up Goldberg74!

I just did a site-to-store with an arrival date of 3/5/13.

...and the "safety alert" is no longer on the product... :(

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

I ordered one too; Feb 28th for me suckas! I got this warning with my order:
Guess they're marketing to a more mature audience now.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

They are really bringing the heat with this one if it is 17 and up.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

:rimshot:

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

The following are on deep sale at Amazon:

$9.99
Skylanders Giants Battlepack #1 - Chop Chop - Dragonfire Cannon - Shroomboom

$2.99
Swarm

Swarm doesn't surprise me much as *all* the stores here are over run with him.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

...hence the name.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

I am surprised they haven't sold out.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

If their stock mirrors what I see locally they have 15 copies of Swarm for every other Giant in stock.

It makes you wonder if the characters were manufactured in similar numbers. If so, *no one* seems to like Swarm.

Swarm is now up to $9.99 and the Battle Pack is $17.99.

I ordered another copy of Swarm (and almost ordered several to use as gifts but those massive overstocks deterred me). I'd have picked up a second Battle Pack at the $9.99 price (paid ~$18 for the first) but I went for the Game Stop exclusive for the second copy.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Just got an email from TRU. They will have Ninjini tomorrow morning (Wednesday).

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Oooooooooooooo! ;)

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Naturally since the closest TRU is ~80 miles from me...

Amazon now has an actual product package on Ninjini. That's typically a indication it's close to release for them.

Of course, like Molten Hot Dog, the kids want Scarlet Ninjini more than the original.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Damn work! If someone would be willing to pick me up a Ninjini, I will pay you for 1/2 of one for you + the cost of one, and shipping. Please email directly if you can do this ... [email protected] .. thanks so much

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Looks like there are going to be sidekicks for these as well... well, they're Giant Sidekicks:

No word on a release date or method of acquiring them.

In game pics...

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

I missed getting Ninjini by a few minutes. Folks were walking out with bags full. Didn't help that TRU had a B1G40%off on figures. :(

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Went to my TRU and they didn't have any left. They said there was a big line outside the store before it opened though and Ninjini sold out in 10 minutes. Did finally get a Thumpback. Ninjiji will probably end up being like Whamshell from series 1.....hard to get. It's the last one my kids need.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Did they say how many figures each TRU had? I didn't bother going.


I hope it doesn't involve more chips...

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

I didn't ask, but it seemed like they had quite a few.

Oh, I think that it will be inevitable!

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

The store here said they got 12. Of course they didn't limit them so they were gone quick.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

A pathetic amount to make out an ad for release.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Too bad none of the other stores are going to get 12 Ninjini figures at once... It would kill the artificial demand.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Got my Molton Hot Dog. He's pretty cute, but I'm just happy I don't have to hunt down a $25 battle pack to get a Hot Dog figure. Now I just need Ninjani to have one of every new character.

For those still looking for Spyro's Adventure Battle Packs, I saw several at Sam's Club. Ice and Pirate Seas.

http://www.target.com/p/skylanders-g...jade+flashwing

Looks like Jade Flashwing is out now?

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

^I was at the local Target Wednesday. They had 6 copies of Eye-Brawl, a Thump Back, *lots* of Swarm and an assortment of regular figures which included 10 or so *regular* Flashwing but *no* Jade Flashwing variants. The item locator shows *zero* in stock within 100 miles. Does anyone show this available?

It's not indicated - is this going to be another Target exclusive?

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Yes, it's a target exclusive. A couple stores near me show stock. I will check it out after work.

Edit: SD is saying the gnarly tree rex wii bundle is $99 at Target now. I want to buy the damn thing and sell the Wii...

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

jade flashwing is available online now

Edit: Picked up two jade flashwings at my local Target. They were completely stocked this time. They had Eyebrawl, Thumpback and Hot Head. I still have yet to see a Hot Dog battlepack at Target.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

My Molten Hot Dog came in to Walmart today... So I checked the video game area and found a Scorpion Battle Pack there.

So I brought home ketchup and mustard. ;)

... and thanks to the note above Jade Flashwing is on its way (Even though the five dollars was a little steep for shipping).

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

I found Molten Hot Dog on the shelf this afternoon at Walmart. It looked like they had restocked recently as there were also a bunch of Thumpback, and Eyebrawl.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Managed to snag Ninjini on Gamestop tonight, so I'm good to go for now except for the Battle Pack. But my Molten Hot Dog should be coming in soon too.

And I too saw Eye Brawl and Thumpback tonight at Target, so they are out there.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Ninjini *was* in stock at WM and Amazon for a few minutes but I didn't get checked out in time... Oh well. At least they're showing up. :)

*EDIT*
Just managed to get a Ninjini in my Amazon cart and check out! Now for that Jade Flashwing (going to check the store before coughing up ~$5 shipping!) after which the wait for Scarlet Ninjini begins...

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

You guys should sign up for target red cards. Free shipping and 5% off is great.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

A conparative pic I took of the two different Hot Dogs.http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/p...psf62381ba.jpg

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

I love that Molten Hot Dog is yellow in game. My son and I took the dogs for a run last night and it was easy to tell them apart.

Does anyone know if Flashwing (Blue) and Jade Flashwing (Green) are different in game?

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

I'm striking out on my hunt for a Ninjini -- Anyone find one and still need a Thumpback or Eyebrawl? I have an extra of each and will trade + some $$ for your trouble

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

GameStop had the reposed S2 Spyro and Wrecking Ball on their site for a few minutes last night (no... I didn't get them :( ). They also have the single pack of Hot Dog online. Of course all are OOS at the moment.

Here are the links:

Spyro S2
Wrecking Ball S2
Hot Dog

AND...
Scarlet Ninjini is currently being listed at Amazon Germany as (exklusiv bei Amazon.de) with a March 15th date. Does this mean we'll see a exclusive of this one at Amazon US?

PLUS...
Polar WhirlWind has been seen in Norway (reportedly at local grocery stores but *not* game shops).

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

People on darkspyro seem to think it will be an amazon us exclusive. That just leaves polar whirlwind.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

The only way to play chapters 17-20 in Giants is to get the Adventure Packs, right? I can't see paying $25+ per pack to get one chapter. It drives my son bonkers though that these chapters exist and he can't get to them. :-)

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Yes, you have to get the adventure packs. You can always borrow them from someone as it stays unlocked in your save file once you use it. You might want to make a few extra saves with various difficulties as you have to unlock it for each save file.

FYI if you can still find them in the store, you can unlock the levels without opening the packaging...
