SWAP Force the new game coming out this fall will require a new portal because of the tech they're introducing.

grabbed a Grilla Drilla and Fire Kraken at TRU this morning. They weren't in huge supply (I saw maybe 6-10 of each 2nd phase character go out the door).

I grabbed Grilla, and that scorpion looking normal character per emphatic request of my son. I passed on the others for the time being because they had affixes I could do without... and I pretty much want to leave a few out to get him for Christmas. I'll probably cave in and get Fire Kraken later because he's pretty cool looking.

both are very cool looking, but I'm biased...

I can't wait for Freeze Blade and Punk Shock to come out and see how much people like them

Definitely the sleeper game on the system right now for people who like platformers. It's quite meaty in the same way AC4 is.

this made my day, thank you.

To have every element and swap ability, you would need 6 more swap force figures.

Rattle Shake
Magna Charge
Free Ranger
Hoot Loop
Stink Bomb
Rubble Rouser

Stink Bomb and Rubble Rouser are supposed to be unavailable until the 29th at TRU, but people are finding them at walmart (and they will match TRU's b1g1 40% deal atm).

The movement abilities are only for minigames though.

A potential replacement for Rubble Rouser is Grilla Drilla if you're looking for a Digger swap ability if element isn't as big a deal (or if you have toys from previous games).

There are two characters of each swap ability, and two swappers for each element, but there are no duplicates of element+swap ability.
