I tried the other code we have, thinking it wasn't a winner and we now have TWO coming to our home !

Please take pictures when they arrive, I for one love fright rider and Halloween so for me this is win win

When does this end? I see it started yesterday, but I did not see an end date.

It ends Nov 16th

I didn't see the promotion in a NJ Target I went to today. If anyone has seen it in central NJ let me know.

Nothing here in Brick yet.

Found some bags in Everett, Washington

Congrats.

I sent out for 2 codes yesterday.

I now have 5 total being posted to my home ! All the cards were winners ! My kid and his friends are HAPPY ! Now waiting for SWAP FORCE Dark Edition to arrive.

What stores are these found in? Walmart, Vons, Albertsons?

So tired of limited runs of variants. If there is only 5000 then they will be gone in a couple days. I never understood why they would do this. Fright rider is one of my favorites but I will never own this figure. Thanks Activision. By the time we get the chips here 5000 will easily be gone

I found mine at Fred Meyer

They said that is the "approximate" amount. That doesn't mean that they ONLY made 5,300, they probably made at least 6,000.

This was the same with Flocked Stump Smash. They said that about 7,334 were made, not including the extras and the ones given to employees.

They won't be gone in "days". Flocked Stump last year was basically given to anyone that called the number and they lasted quite a while despite having a similar amount. I'm fairly certain they will also have a one per address limit to keep the hoarders at bay, which they did not have with Flocked (they learned for this year's promotions).

Besides, consider it time to give up the OCD quest for having every variant ever. Swap Force is going to do everything it can to beat that logic out of people. Be prepared for an avalanche of variants this go round. Come join the increasing club of people that have come to realize you don't need 14 versions of Drill Sergeant to enjoy the game. We have jackets and cookies at the 12 step meetings.

So has everyone's codes from the chips won so far? also to the people who have won do they cost 2.50 or will they send you them for free? Thanks in Advance!

I had 2 codes and they both won. There was no cost other than buying the bag of chips.

I have chips and I won. Oh what Joy it will be to win a cool fright rider... Krogers Dayton, OH

Anyone see these bags on the west coast yet?

Checked 4 different stores tonight and all they had was the sidekicks bags and the new Frankenstein bags. Hopefully this weekend I will find one.

Ooohhh...jackets..wait? did you say COOKIES?!?!?!

Anyone who has won - did you wait a period of time in between redeeming each code?

I just reloaded the page and entered the next code.. I got 3 more codes today !Going to try them. I'll mail them to my mother's home..

I had to wait until the next day to enter my 2nd code. It said only one per day. Maybe if I entered a different zip code it would have worked.

Those of you who found the chips, please post the State you found them in.
Just wondering if West coast is close to getting them.

Only aloud one code per 24 hours. Ohio here for bags from Krogers. Good luck all I have entered 2 times and won both so far. Going to get 4 bags and see if I can win all 4 per person we will see.

It's starting to sound like all the codes are winner <.< time to go buy some chips!

Lansing, MI. Not to be gluttonous, but four of four. One for me, one for my step son, one to keep sealed, and one for unknown purposes.

I'm just not that into chocolate...I know...I'm "different"...I know my wife calls me "special".

Found bags at Kroger in Cincinnati, Ohio. 1 code entered, 1 win! Will try my other code tomorrow. It sounds like everyone's a winner so far!

Found bags in Everett, WA

Awwww, My stores don't have these bags yet >.< Ibn4 everyone winning all them before my stores even get them v.v

My stores have either plain bags, some sidekick ones or Halloween ones. None have fright rider ones yet. This is downstate NY

I came up empty handed in Upstate New York tonight looking for any bags. I looked in 4 different stores too. Still a lot of Sidekick bags out there.

Here in Cali:
Yesterday = Alot of Sidekicks bags and a few halloween bags
Today = Alot more Halloween bags than they did yesterday and a few Sidekicks bags left.
I hope I am not correct about this, but could they only be distibuted to the East Coast and the West Coast gets the Halloween bags?
Where is Frito Lays Head Quarters?

I contacted Frito Lays here:
http://www.fritolay.com/about-us/contact-us.html
And asked them when do they expect California to get the bags.
I will let you know if they get back to me

So far I see michigan, washington and ohio as spots with them. So it seems the closer to Canada the better atm. I'm debating asking some friends in Davidson and lapeer, MI to buy some bags and i'll pay for the codes OR I can wait for them to come here which hopefully is soon.

Well I'm going to check the stores around buffalo , NY last time with sidekick bags I saw them just being put on a shelf So maybe I can get lucky again

I am pretty sure there is a Frito-Lay manufacturing site near Vestal or Endicott, NY. I would think being only a few hours from a plant would ensure us some first sightings but apparently not.

OK so I just got off the phone with the frito lay skylander # and asked when/ if my side kicks where sent out... after I found out my initial question's answer he asked if I new about the newest promo ( this one ) and said there giving out ONE life size hand painted fright ryder and 5000 other prizes--- For all I know he could of been lying and talking out his a** but I promise thats what he said.

That just makes no sense.

I got an email reply from Frito Lay: (Less than 24 hrs. - Great Customer support)

I mailed my 4 post cards today.
See what happens...
UPDATE: 2 for 2 so far

Just to let everyone know I went to the post office today with an actual 3" X 5" index card with all the information requested by Frito-Lay. I was told that it wasn't big enough to be put through the mail. It didn't meet the measurement requirements of a post card which is 3 1/2" X 5". I don't normally mail postcards so if I am throwing out incorrect information don't kill me as I am just going by what the mail lady told me. I would be careful mailing 3" X 5" index cards as they might not get to the intended destination. I ended up buying actual postage paid postcards to send out for this promotion.

Not trying to overthink this, but I just put the cards into an envelope.

I thought putting the card in an envelope was what they meant. Was that wrong?

Just found the bags of chips at the Fred Meyer in Beaverton Oregon.

Bought one bag and Won. They don't even charge shipping and handling.

Not sure, maybe I misread it. Maybe it will be mine that will be tossed aside because I used postcards instead of a card in an envelope. Who knows at this point.

Well there was nothing today maybe I'll check back later this week
