Conclusion
While I am not a fan of Sonic Boom's Series 2 repose, I am a fan of GITD figures and the fact they are easily attained doesn't hurt.
I knew this could have been hard to come by, but it just wasn't worth it to me to walk into Walmart on Thanksgiving or Black Friday.
Luckily, as I predicted, GITD Sonic Boom was just as easy to find as the GITD Starter Packs. Walmart, unlike most retailers, wants quantity. If something sells, they want it on their shelves. That works great for you and I. While the easily attained GITD Sonic Boom may not fetch the same price as say a GITD Warnado or Stone Zook, it does give the average, every day, non-employee, non-scalper, a chance to pick up a real, in-game variant.
When you register Sonic Boom into Giants she should show up as a "Series 2 Special" and come with 2,000 Coins while beginning the campaign at Level 5. Very cool!
Hats of to Toys for Bob, Activision, and select retailers for realizing that the every day enthusiast wants in on the variant rush...They still have the hard to obtain variants, but these "easier to find and cheaper to buy" variants are very nice.
I also want to stress that Sonic Boom's GITD paint job looks much better than Cynder's. I know several people complained about how spotty Cynder was. Whatever the issue was, it seems to have been resolved. Sonic Boom looks great in the packaging and glows incredibly bright!
If you want GITD Sonic Boom I suggest you pick her up just in case production slows down or becomes spotty later on...As of right now she should be very easy to find and take home...Good luck!
