I missed the release of the air and life minis at my local TRU which tends to be overrun by scalpers every single release day. I managed to find the Life ones posted at Walmart's website today. But I'm still looking for the air set. Breeze mostly. Has anyone found a website with Breeze/Pet Vac in stock lately?

Gamestop...should have some. And speaking of scalpers in you area, do they scalp EVERYTHING? The minis are overflwing in my area.

They scalp everything that the store doesn't have hundreds of and then they come back for more. So last time I checked TRU they looked like Walmart after Christmas.... So I haven't found the Captain's Hat traps either. I was lucky enough to show up in the afternoon of the last release day to pick up one dark trap and most of the other new traps, and the new cores. But otherwise so far I am SOL. smilie

Gamestop does not list the life minis on their website.

I haven't seen them, and I've frequented quite a few stores. Got mine on the first day.

I found the air minis on TRU's website one night after midnight. The following morning it was unavailable already. Check online frequently and you might get lucky.

I saw them at my tru when they first came out, haven't seen them there or any other store since. I also yet to see in any walmart the "Skylanders Trap Team Full Blast Jet-Vac & Pet Vac Buddy Pack" all my stores seem to have in the Fryno and Gill Grunt ones.

I ordered them both from Walmart online, believe it or not. Would have preferred to get them from Amazon since it would have been slightly cheaper. Drat. Eh well, what can you do? smilie

I definitely saw quite a few of the Air Minis at TRU when I was picking up Fling Kong & Flip Wreck yesterday.

I guess I'm going to have to check Toys R Us videos cuz I haven't seen them anywhere but there weeks ago. Walmart by me haven't restocked since wave 4 came out and targets haven't restocked since then also, unless i want hwadrush, nitro head rush or lob star.

I haven't really seen either mini packs in the wild...only online. Best Buy seems to be allergic to these two---not online or in store. Wal Mart and Amazon are the only online places I've seen.

It's because the first ones didn't sell. They have had them on sale multiple times and they don't appear to move at all. Therefore no need to ever re-stock a new case assortment. The only ones I've seen in the store and the ones I pulled out of the case myself when they came in at TRU. It's a shame since the Air one is one of the two "all new" Mini packs along with Fire.

Its prob because

1. Some parents are confused what these minis do
2. Some may know what they were like PRIOR to Trap Team and not understand they are now playable and not "unplayable sidekicks"that follow you and do nothing
3. Some Already have these from the last 2 Lays Promos and don't see the point of wasting money to get the one they dont have.
4. They or their kids already have these figures as their large versions and see these as pointless reposes of sorts.

Im sure there are other reasons too. I sort of like having minis instead of like the 4th spyro repose.

I also find it interesting that they seemed to not even bother to go past the first two triple packs this year, at least I haven't seen anything past the launch day ones, has anyone else (this is North America, I know other areas got them)
