Any word on the street if that will be offered in the US? Refuse to pay $$$ for eBay prices for them.

There is no barcode on them, so I doubt it! But hey, you never know that's for sure!

I happened across one at a Gamestop today behind the counter, although the guy had no idea how much it was supposed to be or where it came from. I can only assume someone brought it in on accident or they got it from corporate or something.

I got a lead on one; a shame you have to open him up to play with him.

I just seen one at a gamestop but said not for resale and they only had one. Employee said sumthin like it was shipped there for someone and I mentioned to him about it being given out at e3 and he said oh so maybe it's for an employee or sum thing. He took my name and number cuz he was gonna sell it to me then they checked their email and it was sent there for somebody so idk.

I have three of them. One was given to all GameStop managers, and I got two at Austin ComicCon before they told that team to ship the rest to NYCC. It is an event exclusive wherever the street team truck is setup.

I see comments calling the Gamestop managers greedy. I'll clear the air on this one. The managers were all given one as a gift from their conference this year. They have a not for resale thing on the back of them, but I know some of them have been getting confused by other employees.

I want him so bad as he is one of my favorite bad guys and I like his color scheme better then the regular one. My gamestop know nothing about it and could not find it when they looked for it for me. Any one know a way I can get one with out paying like $80 for it?

Wait...I'm guessing these things are all going to be released. In game variants require work. Work that they feel they must be paid.

Well they where released... just not in the USA (only at conventions in the USA). Tho you may be right and that's why I'm not going to pay $80 for one. My limit would be $20.

Well if it never gets a mass release, all I can say is you won't find it for that price. That is unless you get one from a convention or gamestop manager.

The one at GameStop did have the big Not For Resale on the back. Luckily whoever put the sale sticker on it wasn't too worried about that.

I stopped by my GameStop today and asked about Riot SS, he said that they got one yesterday but it had no bar code on it and was told that it was for the manager. He went to the back to see if there were any more, when he came back he told me that there was no more but he would call one of the neighboring stores to see if they knew anything. As he was on the phone the other store told him that they did not receive any but that it is suppose to be set aside for a demo during a Skylanders day event. Not sure how accurate he is, sounds like he was trying to figure it out also.

Speaking of trying to figure it out: I am going to take a long shot.... it will be released like Polar Whirl Wind (Exclusive to GS) during Skylanders Day.

It's nothing for a demo. All the managers and field managers were sent one. But because they came in normal distro boxes, some folks mistakenly put them out on the floor for sale. The store I work at is getting 3 of them, because my District and Regional managers are housed out of my store. Anything they get comes there. They did get the Infinity Hulk figure for free as well, but that had the normal retail packaging with it.

Thank You for clearing that up.
So, have you heard if there is going to be an exclusive for GS?

My Gamestop manager handed me his on Friday saying "I just got this and will never use it, so here ya go"

It was only after I got to the car did I realize what he gave me.

well, my gamestop manager just looked at me, turned it to the other worker, said he can't sell it/give it. and put it away.
that proxy.... no one there even likes skylanders, overall, they're good employees, but can be stuborn at times...


It's safe to say that; Riot should (or wont) be available soon, as they said that they got it in their conference room, as a gift.

The associate at GameStop just GAVE it to me for FREE. I picked it up off of the rack (because I knew EXACTLY what it was) and went directly to the counter to purchase it. When he scanned it, it didn't come up and he started asking the other associates if they knew anything about it and then they were searching the rack for others of it. He told me that he was going to go to the back of the store to see more about it. After a minute or two, he came back out, explained that it was a gift to the manager, but then he put it in a bag and said that I could have it!

No word on an exclusive yet. Heck, I'm still waiting on my store to get in the Wave 2 figures/traps.
