Like {{TFG|Next Quest}}, Groundbreakers had two one-player starter sets: {{TFG|Skydive}} and {{TFG|Whirlwind}}. Both sets were initially released exclusively at {{wp|Wal-Mart}} as part of a special distribution deal, though Skydive sets were much more prevalent than Whirlwind. The starters eventually began to appear in other retail stores, such as {{wp|Toys "R" Us}} shortly before the TFG's cancellation. Consequently, these figures are the only ones from Groundbreakers to see official release. | Like {{TFG|Next Quest}}, Groundbreakers had two one-player starter sets: {{TFG|Skydive}} and {{TFG|Whirlwind}}.

A number of the remaining unreleased figures are known to exist, obtained through unofficial distributors, special occasions, in some {{Trading Card Game}} tin boxes, or from showcases. These figures remain sought-after among collectors of the TFG. | ||
As with the American release of Next Quest, none of the figures have rarity symbols. It is unknown whether European and Australian figures were to have rarity symbols as they did in their respective Next Quest launches had Groundbreakers been successfully released. | As with the American release of Next Quest, none of the figures have rarity symbols.
