I that during this time of year a lot of you are trying to plan ahead so you can get all your Skylanders in the most efficient way possible.
As always, I will do my best to help you out along the way.
There have been a number of rumors as usual about the different Waves, but the list that I'm about to share below I have had confirmed by multiple sources. So I feel confident enough to share it with you today.
Without further ado, here's what you can expect in Waves 1, 2, and 3 of Skylanders SuperChargers.
Wave 1
As pre-orders have recently been made available for most of Wave 1, this should seem quite familiar.
SuperCharger Single Packs
Vehicle Single Packs
Dual Packs (SuperCharger + Signature Vehicle)
The Dual Packs have an MSRP of $24.99. If retailers stick to this price they will offer a nice value. These packs will be $3 cheaper than buying the figures individually.
Dual Pack #1
- Shark Shooter Terrafin
- Shark Tank
Dual Pack #2
- Hurricane Jet-Vac
- Jet Stream
Action Pack (SuperCharger + Signature Vehicle + Trophy)
The Action Packs have an MSRP of $34.99. This means that you're only paying about $7 for the Trophy.
As discussed in earlier articles, this Trophy unlocks new Race Tracks, new Modes, and the ability to race as four different Villains. I think that's a pretty good value for $7.
Action Pack #1
- Deep Dive Gill Grunt
- Reef Ripper
- Sea Trophy
So if you purchase everything available on Day 1 (including the Starter Packs) you will already have 10 of 20 SuperChargers and 10 of 20 Vehicles.
That's right. Wave 1 contains 50% of the SuperChargers figures.
Now I should also mention the four variants that have been announced this week. It seems that all four will be store exclusives. This includes:
[box]UPDATE: Frightful Fiesta was a Timed Exclusive at GameStop for one week. As of September 27th he is available from all major retailers.[/box]- Frightful Fiesta
(GameStop/EB Games) - Steel Plated Smash Hit (Best Buy)
- Legendary Hurricane Jet-Vac (TRU)
- Nitro Stealth Stinger (Target)
All of these figures currently have a September 20th release date as well. All these variants are currently available for pre-order. I do think there will be plenty of stock, but pre-ordering could save you some time and hassle driving from store to store on release day.
Wave 2
SuperCharger Single Packs
Vehicle Single Packs
Triple Pack (1 SuperCharger, 2 Vehicles)
Triple Pack #1
- Shark Shooter Terrafin
- Shark Tank
- Jet Stream
While the Dual Packs in Wave 1 offer a nice value, the Triple Packs are even better.
The Triple Packs have an MSRP of $29.99. This basically means you're paying for the two Vehicles and getting the SuperCharger for free!
Naturally not everyone will come in a Triple Pack and you may have to wait a little longer to get some of them. But if you're on a tight budget, it may be worth it.
Wave 3
SuperCharger Single Packs
- Big Bubble Pop Fizz
- Hurricane Jet-Vac
- Lava Lance Eruptor
- Splat
Vehicle Single Packs
- Shield Striker
- Splatter Splasher
- Thump Truck
Dual Packs (SuperCharger + Signature Vehicle)
Dual Pack #3
- Big Bubble Pop Fizz
- Soda Skimmer
Dual Pack #4
- Bone Bash Roller Brawl
- Tomb Buggy
Triple Pack (1 SuperCharger, 2 Vehicles)
Triple Pack #2
- Bone Bash Roller Brawl
- Tomb Buggy
- Splatter Splasher
Action Pack (SuperCharger + Signature Vehicle + Trophy)
Action Pack #2
- Astroblast
- Sun Runner
- Sky Trophy
As you can see Wave 3 will offer up some more interesting combinations. I haven't tried to figure out the most cost effective method yet, but I'm sure someone will soon.
I will also note that only two of the three Action Packs will be found in these Waves. That means we'll be waiting until sometime next year for the Land Trophy.
However, I think we'll have plenty to keep us busy because by the time Wave 3 in complete you could have collected:
- 18 of 20 SuperChargers
- 18 of 20 Vehicles
While many of these will only be available in Dual or Triple Packs throughout the first three Waves, there is seemingly very little new content for the later Waves.
I have a feeling the Dual and Triple Packs may be hard to come by and we'll have to wait on replenishment in the later Waves to complete the collection.
In any case, you know I will keep you as up-to-date as possible along the way. So if you haven't already, follow SCL on Facebook and Twitter to make sure you don't miss out on any new information.
If you were to guess thrillipede’ s wave, what would it be?
If I had to guess right now, I would say Splat is Wave 4 and Thrillipede in Wave 5.
I thought splat is wave 3.
You’re right. I can’t read apparently.
That would be Double Dare Trigger Happy in Wave 4 and Thrillipede in Wave 5.
Or the other way around.
I can’t help but think that something is missing. Last year we thought we knew most everything that was coming out a month before, then boom, minis, eons elites and the introduction of light and dark.
Who is to say that we won’t see new twists and changes.
Always possible, but this year I think (and kinda hope) that they’re trying to settle down and simplify things a bit.
There’s already plenty to explain with SuperChargers, Vehicles, Online, and Racing.
We’ll be plenty busy I think so it will be nice to have a shorter list of figures to worry about.
Have you heard the rumor trigger happy’ s vehicle is called the gold rush?
I have not heard that rumor.
Thanks for all the info! For those of us getting the Nintendo Dark Editions, has there been any mention of Stealth Elf (Dark or otherwise) being available for individual sale?
Yes.
We’ve seen images of Single Packs for Super Shot Stealth Elf and Hot Streak. We can only assume there will be one for Spitfire as well.
Did you heard about Skylanders Battlecast.
I have. Just got busy and took me longer than expected to get the post up. Here you go:

OK, I understand the purpose of the waves and how it helps the merchants and newcomers to the game but I don’t understand why Activision has not released the last 3 traps. Wave 5 has been out for some time now and the new “Super Chargers will be out in a month. I am sure what you said that the merchants need to make room for all the items that will be release for “Super Chargers” is true but the will have to contend with the traps that has not yet been released. Could this be because the last traps are some how tied in with the new game?
Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you guys know that if you’re looking to save some money on collecting Best Buy has a great deal. Best has a subscription called the Gamer’s Club and with the 2 year subscription you receive a 20% discount on games. This discount extends to the toys-to-life figures. The cost is $30, but if you are collecting all the starter packs purchasing two dark starters pays for the membership and saves an additional $10. This is on par with Amazon. Once you start buying additional skylanders the savings really start to add up. My plan is to purchase all of the figures I can through Best Buy. I also did the math on the triple pack versus the double packs, and those that can wait would save the most by purchasing the triple packs.
Yep. I talk all about GCU right here:
https://skylanderscharacterlist.com/how-to-save-on-skylanders-even-when-theres-not-a-sale/
I have a hypothesis that double dare trigger happy and gold rusher will be in a pack with the land trophy, maybe not but you never know
aghgaghagh why does nightfall have to be in wave 2. When is the release date for wave 2?
We don’t have an exact date yet.
Typically it’s within a month of Wave 1, but TRU usually gets an early release which sometimes puts it in the same week as Wave 1.
Regardless of and early release though you should be able to find Wave 2 at most major retailers by late October if they stick to the same release schedule they have for the past 4 years.
Does anyone know what gender nightfall is? I saw a lot of people saying nightfall is girl
Nightfall is female.
Also do you think wave 2 will be release before november?
You may have seen this already, but Wave 2 is out now in the US.
https://skylanderscharacterlist.com/skylanders-superchargers-wave-2-released-today/
Should be out soon in other countries as well.
I just clicked the link, I saw the pictures and the list but there was no nightfall
Do you think that bowser-clown cruiser and donkey kong-(his vehicle I don’t know the name of) could be in single packs Matt?
The Nintendo exclusive figures are exclusive to the Starter Packs.
In an attempt to avoid confusion (since they won’t work on other consoles), they are not releasing them in Single Packs.
are they released in Canada yet
Yep. Just started seeing more substantial sightings in Canada today.

Keep an eye out!
thanks getting them this friday
Nightfall has been recalled. They’re still aiming to release her before the end of the year, but that’s all we really know.
https://skylanderscharacterlist.com/nightfall-recalled-possible-solution/
I just want everyone’s opinions, is it worth getting
the Nintendo 3DS pack for hammer s. Bowser? (And clown cruiser) they are exclusive
They are exclusive to the Starter Packs. If you’re a collector and need to have them all then buying the Starter Pack is your best bet right now.
Buying just the two figures individually right now from a third party will cost you just as much as a Starter Pack. I think it may take little longer for these prices to cool down as well since they’re also serving the amiibo market.
If you can wait though, there’s a good chance the Starter Packs will see huge discounts in a few months and you can probably snatch one up then to save some money.
Do you think they will make a supercharges ipad starter pack?
It’s already been announced. It contains the same figures as the Standard Starter Pack. It will release on October 25th, but you can pre-order now – http://amzn.to/1QbyibY
At the end of the article you misspelled SuperChatgers.
You have:
18 of 20 SupeChargers
You forgot the “r” in Super.
Fixed. Thanks.
Does anyone know who will come in the land racing action pack?
We don’t know for sure yet, but if my theory in this article holds true:
https://skylanderscharacterlist.com/theory-superchargers-and-vehicles-in-action-packs-will-not-be-released-in-single-packs/
Then we should be seeing Double Dare Trigger Happy and Gold Rusher. That pair definitely seems to make the most sense at this point.
Okay, thank you! I just really want to make sure that it isn’t bb roller brawl and tomb buggy, because then I would be sad for having to buy duplicates.
All I’m waiting for is Splat, though it’s annoying me that there really aren’t that good looking of cars.
i noticed that some one already uploaded the data of wave 3 “Hurricane Jet-Vac” and “Lava Lance Eruptor” , at NGMore.com, both of them hasn’t released yet, right? but why they can already play with it ?
Hurricane Jet-Vac
Hurricane Jet-Vac
Lava Lance Eruptor
I have Big Bubble Pop Fizz, but not his Vehicle, Soda Skimmer. I also want Bone Bash Roller Brawl with her vehicle, Tomb Buggy, the non legendary triple pack of Astroblast, Sun Runner & the Sky Trophy, Double Dare Trigger Happy with Gold Rusher and Thrillipede with Buzz Wing…
When will they be available?
As you can see in the article above, Pop Fizz/Soda Skimmer, Roller Brawl/Tomb Buggy, and the Sky Action Pack will be coming in Wave 3. We don’t have a firm release date for them yet, but if we don’t see them in December, they’ll be out in January for sure.
The last two pairs though are still a mystery. All I can say for sure is that they’ll be in Waves 4 and 5 sometime next year.
