Skylanders Imaginators Wave 3 is Launching December 8th (For Real, This Time)

Launch day update: Hahahahahahaha *cries*

Original story:

Skylanders releases are always confusing, but thankfully with Imaginators things have gotten a little better (i.e. we usually know something’s releasing before the day it actually releases). There was a false alarm earlier this year where it seemed like the third wave of toys was releasing last month, but for some reason we just got a couple of the toys ahead of the US release, with the rest of Wave 3 launching later this week on December 8th. Here’s a guide to what’s confirmed to be releasing and at which retailers, as well as what might be releasing based on what was part of the third wave in the US. We had a lot of toys release at the game’s launch that weren’t advertised, so it wouldn’t be out of the question for us to get some surprises!

Senseis

Buckshot

Magic Bowslinger

Chain Reaction

Tech Swashbuckler

Flare Wolf

Fire Bazooker

Pit Boss

Undead Sorcerer

Bad Juju

Air Swashbuckler

So far we have confirmation of all of these figures launching on December 8th between the Target and Big W catalogues, however Pit Boss is strangely absent. This is likely an oversight, as it would be strange for one figure to just not release with the others. None of these Senseis are being advertised as exclusive, so stores should have all of them even if they’re not in the catalogue. Just like what happened on launch day.

Big W have the cheaper price, with their Senseis being $15 each, while Target’s are a dollar more expensive at $16.

There’s also a few variant figures that will be releasing on the same day – some of which appear to be exclusive to different retailers, which is always fun.

Legendary Pit Boss

Undead Sorcerer

Legendary Pit Boss is exclusive to Big W

Mystical Bad Juju

Air Swashbuckler

Mystical Bad Juju isn’t being advertised as exclusive anywhere, but so far we only know she’s releasing because she’s in EB Games’ system with a December 8th release date. So it’s possible that she’s exclusive to EB Games. This image comes from Drawdler on DarkSpyro.

Solar Flare Aurora

Light Swashbuckler

This one’s a little confusing. Target are supposedly already selling her, but I haven’t seen her in my local store nor heard reports that anyone has actually seen her on sale. It’s possible that they were mistaken and they’re just selling the regular figure, or they will be selling her as of December 8th. Keep an eye out and let us know if you spot her.

Creation Crystals

There’s also some new Creation Crystals that are part of Wave 3, which you can use to store your Imaginators on. There were also a few variants of existing crystals that were part of this wave in the US, but for simplicity’s sake I’ll just list the new packs. Note that no retailers are advertising these here yet and so they may not be releasing this Thursday.

• Fire Crystal
• Earth/Light/Fire Triple Pack
• Dark/Magic/Undead Triple Pack
• Creation Crystal 8-pack (Tech, Life, Undead, Earth, Water, Light, Magic, Dark)

UPDATE: B-BOB358 has found the Fire Crystal as well as the new variant crystals in their local Target, but said stock of these was very low

Other

Enchanted Elven Forest Adventure Pack

The Enchanted Elven Forest Adventure Pack adds an additional level to the game, and comes with a Boom Bloom Sensei figure (not available outside of this pack) and an Air Element Creation Crystal. Boom Bloom is a Life Ninja. Both Target and Big W are advertising this pack for $32.

Pain-Yatta + Magic Crystal Combo Pack

This will be available exclusively at Target for $20. This is currently the only way to play as Pain-Yatta since their standalone figure will not be released until a later date. Pain-Yatta is a Magic Smasher.

Dr. Krankcase + Tech Crystal Combo Pack

I haven’t been able to find an image of this one and it’s not being advertised in Target’s catalogue. Since they’re the ones who have an exclusivity deal on Combo Packs I’d wager that we’re not getting this one. Dr. Krankcase is a Tech Quickshot who is available for purchase separately already.

So there you have it! Hopefully that makes things a bit easier for you this Thursday (December 8th). If reports come in of any surprise releases then I’ll update this article with details. Thanks Aaron and gillgrunt32 for the Target and Big W catalogues respectively!
