I'd really like to get the color variations from the Spinmaster giveaway promotions too. I'm hopeful I'll be able to trade a Xar or Secret to get them as well as for the remaining if they never show up around here. They don't seem to ever pop up on eBay. Realistically, many will probably end up in the trash or at 2nd hand stores when the kids get tired of them.
I talked to a couple of guys at KB Toys and they said they were clearancing their FOP since they would be receiving Series 2 but I took it with a grain of salt as they didn't seem to be the most informed guys around but at least they knew what FOP was. They were the cashiers, not the guys that order toys.
I can definitely see a big push out before (for) Christmas--that would be the most likely time for Series 2. The toy guys at Walmart have been saying the Christmas Shuffle should start pretty soon after back to school. That's where they move all the toy stock around and add the extra toy aisles. If any more FOP are to arrive at Wally, it will be then.

the guys from the second wave dont have andy plastic, and so far all of my collection (except for shadows) is in the packaging still. the way I found them ?
The bottom of the FoP pack wasn't sealed, and the instructions were sliding out. I just looked inside (like how you find Crystal Cowl in the Fist)
Too bad there was only one

As far as I know, the Crystal Cowls are only in the Fists released in Australia. I'm trying to hook up a trade. Do you have a Xar? If the Eeks and such don't show up here, I might be willing to trade a Xar or secret for a full set of the missing Series one.hey there was only one pack like that

Have you run across any of the alternate colored ones that Spinmaster gave out in Canada? Did they give any out where you are? If so may want to check around your local thrift stores or garage sales to see if any kids get rid of theirs
(and if you get extras, LMK... )

ALSO IM WILLING TO TRADE A CAN XAR FOR A US XAR, UK XAR OR AUS XAR.
I HAVE ALOT OF XARS BECAUSE IM LIKE THE ONLY FOP COLLECTOR IN THE GREATER VANCOUVER AREA WITH MONEY IT SEEMS. ILL RIP INTO A STORE, TAKING OUT HALF THE STOCK, AND WHEN I RETURN A FEW DAYS LATER, THEY HAVENT BEEN TOUCHED. ITS LIKE THIS EVERYWHERE, IN ALL THE STORES. SOME HAVE SOLD OUT, AND ARE BRINGING IN NO MORE.
WHAT SECRETS DO YOU HAVE GILGER? I HAVE NONE, WHICH MEANS ONLY NINE MORE TO GO
WOULD YOU CONSIDER TRADING?

Crystal Cowls were in the UK for sure...because Lazorlion and I got ours from musclemenkids in Scotland.As far as I know, the Crystal Cowls are only in the Fists released in Australia.

Toysfouryou says that you are a lying sack of shizznit and that he never told you that he got his wave two from blue packs. Do you still have that email he sent back to you?

I do specifically recall asking whether they came from Series 1 blue or Series 2 yellow.

You are correct, I embellished a bit. But you still said that you never said that, which inferrs that he is/was lying.i never said that all i said was i never opened any with the missing figures in them .and you may have asked if they were from ser 1 or ser 2 blue or yellow .but i only have blue so maby there was a misunderstanding but i think you can see on my post i never said he was a lying sack of shizznit you said thatHey Gilgar,

Granted, there could have been some miscommunication between the two of you, so I digress.

Because I for one can attest to BOTH of your genuine kindness.
Jkaris has helped me plenty of times with all types of toys and such.
toysfouryou has offered me help on completing my set and my son's sets well before this whole arguement got heated.
I will say this...EVERYTHING toysfouryou has told me regarding the FOP line and Spinmasters has been 100% truth.
I think if we built the FOP guide I have been talking to Jkaris about, get Jkaris and toysfouryou to work on obtaining series 2 and arenas, we could be in good shape.
FOP aren't some junkya$$ toyline, they are the BB/Muscles of the future. If you all recall these 2 toylines were NOT that hot back then and they were released more throughly in other countries too!

I doubt it, they didn't recall you and you have small partsMaybe they were recalled because they had small parts?

hi tim havent talked to you in a while trista here from toysfouryou .so what your saying is its happening again .this is really nothing new for moose they did the same thing when moose made mighty beanz it was a way of driving interest in the product and it workes ok if you come out with the second wave as people call it and they did on the mighty beanz. and in the second wave they always shortpacked the second wave so that 6 from the first wave were not available. the problem comes when there is no second wave .are you still looking for the secret figures from ser 1. on auction now take care tim .hopefully this will be straitened out by time moose send them to meIt would be good if US & or Canada picked up the series 2 line.

Yes still looking for secrets, but not prepared too pay much for them, I am happy with the complete sets I have (minus the secrets).
Yes it looks like Moose have done it again. I bought hundreds of packets of series 2, accumulating many variations of all figures but with out a single variation of 49, 55, 56, 67, 75 & 77.
I wrote to Moose and they have supplied the figures to me from some stock in their office.
I am happy that they have supplied the figures to me, but what about the money I spent trying to get them in the first place!
I am still thinking about what position to take on this as I am sure they have broken our fair trading laws. However, at this stage I think I will wait for series 3 and see what transpires.
Bye
