Not likely, there was no open spot for them. And you are talking about the Wal-Mart that still had tons of everything else except the Cars playset (they may have never had it either), and had the Glow in the Dark Black Friday Skylander in droves on the floor for months.Isn't it just possible that they had them and sold out?
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/topic/318627-wtt-disney-infinity-power-discs/page-1Has anyone started up a swap thread yet? I ended up with two Abu's and my fiance is dying to get Mike's car.
Not of the Hex's.Reading up more on the Power Discs they sound necessary for a "complete" experience.
Any use in having multiples?
Which one you have? Only Dumbo, Buzz and Abu the elephant is RARE.I bought 4 packs of discs. I got 2 of the 3 rares in those 4 packs. They are the yellow hexagons. How rare are these?
I had to identical packs today. Both had Felix and Abu. I thought that was kind of shocking.I got Buzz and Abu. Both in 4 packs purchased. Lucky?
No way to know for sure since there's so many factors, but yes a few Skylanders have become rare (or more accurately, hard to find/unavailable in store). It will depend on it's popularity obviously and what they restock, and also what characters they re-release and such. For example there is supposed to be crystal versions of many of the figures (The Lone Ranger is one for example) so you may want to try and get that one whenever it becomes available.I know this is supposed to be about deals but I have a question. Are these things gonna be rare acouple months down the line? I don't mean OMG scalper rare. Or I'm gonna profit rare. More or less availability. If I don't get Lone Ranger now do you think he would be here three months from now at the store, or any regular set/ fig. I get exclusives are gonna dissapear and be gone. I just don't want to stress everytime a fig or set comes out I like I need to grab it that day. Is Skylanders like this?
Something I wasn't aware of is that you can stack multiple circular discs under your character. I don't have the game yet, but its my understanding that in some instances if you have two of the same disc the upgrades will stack.Reading up more on the Power Discs they sound necessary for a "complete" experience.

The Girl Power pack will have Vanellope (Wreck-It-Ralph), Violet, and Rapunzel.Also there is supposed to be a girls 3 pack, so I don't know if that means Violet will also be released in that pack or what.
Ah thanks didn't know that. Time to get rid of Violet then. I hate how they do that. Skylanders was terrible with that and their Series 2 rehashes. I wouldn't think Violet will end up hard to find then if she's being released at least twice. I'll sell my Violet and get a Francesco instead I think. He's the only character I don't really care for and is only in a single pack so he could end up being a hard to find one unless they release more of him.The Girl Power pack will have Vanellope (Wreck-It-Ralph), Violet, and Rapunzel.
Yeah, I was thinking of returning the Violet I got for Mater, but was wondering if he might show up later in another Cars pack.Ah thanks didn't know that. Time to get rid of Violet then.

There's no wreck-it-ralph set. You can see the whole series here:Yeah, I was thinking of returning the Violet I got for Mater, but was wondering if he might show up later in another Cars pack.
There's also a rumor of a Wreck-It-Ralph set, so I might just stay away from the Girl Power pack altogether. The Vanellope and Rapunzel figures will also be sold as singles so you can always get them that way. Just depends on the sales and which ever way is cheaper.
Not in Series 2, but what about 3? Violet is a series 1 single and she's being repackaged in series 2 bundle, so what's to keep them from doing that again?There's no wreck-it-ralph set. You can see the whole series here:

I noticed this when I picked up my 2 Mcqueens on rd, I went through all 8 and picked the best 2. I have know idea how they look on the other side since I haven't opened them yetI'm gonna have to take back the crystal McQueen I picked up today. When I took him out of the packaging I noticed one of his "stickers?" had been mutilated on the top where the packaging had him wedged in. Particularly since this is a "rare" piece he ought to be in perfect shape. Now I'm gonna check the detail work on all the figures. Fortunately, according to the website, they still had at least 1 left so I placed an order so they'll at least hold it till tomorrow night when I go pick it up.
If someone wants the scratched ish one I'm willing to send it at cost, but wouldn't be my cup of tea.
I got it for my kid mostly but I like collecting the figures. I'll play the game too if I ever get the time.o.o I'm starting to question the legitimacy of whether or not some people are really buying it for their "kids" or are just embarrassed to admit they're getting it themselves.
This is missing Woody. I think he releases on October 3rd (exclusive to Walmart for 2 weeks).There's no wreck-it-ralph set. You can see the whole series here:

Never discount the eBay jerks.o.o I'm starting to question the legitimacy of whether or not some people are really buying it for their "kids" or are just embarrassed to admit they're getting it themselves.
I wondered the same thing before the game was released, but it's slowly becoming clearer (to me at least) that Disney is in this for the money first and foremost, and they are going to give the consumer every opportunity to buy the figures they want. They Sorceror Mickey could have easily been a convention exclusive, but that would have been a waste of the time and effort taken to design the figure. Disney would rather sell a metric ton of figures than have people out there ready with money and nothing to buy with it. Normally that would seem greedy, but in this case it's a good thing.I know this is supposed to be about deals but I have a question. Are these things gonna be rare acouple months down the line? I don't mean OMG scalper rare. Or I'm gonna profit rare. More or less availability.

One thing I am noticing about the Power Discs is the over-abundance of ones with upside-down stickers. Methinks the Chinese people getting paid $0.01/hour to do the job are carelessly just slapping them on. Oh, and there seems to be some excess of glue on the discs, too.I'm gonna have to take back the crystal McQueen I picked up today.
