That paint job looks terrible.

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.

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

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

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...

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.

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

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.

...hence the name.

I am surprised they haven't sold out.

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.

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

Oooooooooooooo!

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.

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

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...

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.

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.

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


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

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

Oh, I think that it will be inevitable!

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

A pathetic amount to make out an ad for release.

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

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.
