Best Buy has revealed what we believe to be a relatively accurate Skylanders Blackout release date on their website via a new pre-order page that went live sometime recently. That date, March 22, is also when we expect Spotlight and other Wave 4 figures such as Trap Master Enigma and Fling Kong to begin trickling into North American stores.
Blackout is the second and final Skylanders Trap Team figure from the new Dark Element to be released. The first, Knightmare, is available exclusively in the Dark Element Quest Pack that remains elusive to find at retail now three months removed from its initial release.
Joining Blackout in Wave 4 is his Light Element counterpart, Spotlight. I have no idea why Best Buy is only listing Blackout but I can confirm for you that he isn’t a store exclusive and all the remaining Skylanders yet to be released will be widely available at all major retailers.
You can pre-order Blackout through this link at BestBuy.com for $9.99 to ensure he will be shipped on March 22.
Look for more information on Skylanders Trap Team Wave 4 in the very near future, and peruse our Dark and Light Element image gallery for high resolution pictures of Blackout and Spotlight.
