Two brand new Giants are now in what is still being classed as Wave 3 of Skylanders: Giants, so in the United States you should soon be able to find Thumpback and Eye-Brawl.

There are also some brand new Triple Packs being released, however they're all Series 2 Skylanders that have already been available in singles. One pack has Eruptor, Stealth Elf, and Terrafin. The other has Prism Break, Lightning Rod, and Drill Sergeant.
The last of the Legendary Skylanders, Legendary LightCore Chill, is also apparently scheduled soon for release at Toys R Us but as of yet has not been spotted.
And finally, as well as the release of Hot Dog in the Battle Pack, for a short time at GameStop you will be able to get the Sidekicks from Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure (that's Whisper Elf, Terrabite, Gill Runt, and Trigger Snappy), supposedly through a spend $30 promotion but people have reported being able to just buy them outright. Stocks may not last long either way.

At this point, they will be out some time this month or even next week or so. Either way

ahwell nothing for australia but one of my mums friends is sending a scorpion striker to australia yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Any chance they'll also be available soon/now in the UK too?

Are you sure the Sidekicks will be available at GameStop? If so, when?
Finally. I have waited for Hot Dog.
are they out yet?!
Trolled Ive got unofficial releases from my dads work already got eye brawl ninjini and thumpback
^ Proof?
Will the Sidekicks be avilable worldwide???
I guess I was right that Thumpback would release in wave three, just not right away.
Walmart gets stock in from 10pm to 2am Monday/Tuesday nights. That's where thumpy is.
Woohoo! I want 
sooo much!

Does anyone know if walmart is the only place getting the giants right now or have they been spotted anywhere else?
Luckily they'll have at Target. I'm broke, but I could use my Target giftcard to get him. I'd have to save up for 
though 
At least I'd have about $10 out of $45 ( $50 plus tax

Looks like thumpback and eye brawl are out in stores now but nothing near me in New Hampshire. Anyone willing to help out in finding them on the west coast? I have a scorpion striker 3 pack I can use to barter? My boys are VERY anxious to get those giants!
i hope that the sidekick promotion is on in the UK soon, i see it a little bit badly how activision is 'neglecting' other countries!!
Just got thumpback and eye brawl! Skippyjoe, I could pick up a couple extra...
My local gamestop got one each Thumpback and Eyebrawl today and I was able to get the 4th sidekick by adding one more single character pack. One gamestop employee told me they raised the price of sidekicks to $999 to deter direct sales of sidekicks. That promotion is going to bring them big $.
How much is it to buy the sidekicks outright and can you get them online?
anyone know when hotdog and polar whirlwind will be available in u.s?
My understanding from talking with a few gamestop employees is that you can only buy sidekicks in stores for either $999 or free with a purchase of $30+ skylanders characters and/or starter packs. I was just short of this with two giants, so I had to buy a third character to get a sidekick free. I bought hotdog in the Scorpion Striker Battle Pack yesterday, actually two of them, but they are only at gamestop this month.
And I'm in the U.S. No idea about polar whirlwind.
Ok my uncle is giving away a free Eye-Brawl http://youtu.be/KuE2IVW2Mfs
Follow the directions and you could win.... He gave me one and it is supper cool!

YAYYYYYYY EYE BRAWL IS OUT 
As of ten minutes ago (~8pmEST 1/24/13), Eyebrawl and Thumpback was available on gamestop.com. I've had to monitor all of the web sites religiously for the last week. Man this was a chore! Still haven't seen it local...and I know we hit 7 stores last week.
Has anyone seen the new 3 packs mentioned above? I haven't seen them yet anywhere in any form, either online or in a store.
Looks like the gamestop.com site stayed stocked for 1 whole hour. ~9pmEST they sold out. Doesn't help that they allow quantities up to 10 for the product. I hope the scalpers get burned.
I'll more than likely being getting these two from Amazon by ordering them like I did with L-Bouncer.
Just an FYI congratulations to the contest winner! He has until Monday afternoon to claim the prize! http://youtu.be/396OLyV5A1s
Still can't find either

They are already out, and I would get them at Gamestop before 1-31-13 so you could get a free sidekick.
