Gamestop got some more stock today! [CLOSED]

Thought I'd give a heads up. I called a gamestop today to see if they had any figures and the guy said they received a small shipment this morning of around 6 figures. I called four different gamestop's in my area and all of them said they received a small shipment this morning. Two of the stores had already sold out but I managed to get 5 that I needed from the other two stores (Bash, Sonic Boom, Prism Break, Eruptor, Wrecking Ball). So it looks like a mix of Waves 1 & 2. Also they only received single packs at every store I called. No 3 packs or adventure sets.

Dangit.
I find it horribly ironic I went to the mall about an hour ago with my mom and brother and wanted to go to Gamestop.
But of course my brother ruined the trip. :'I

I went to 2 GameStops today, haha. I got a PW Nintendo DS game.

As for the Skylanders, the first GameStop I went to had none, only starter packs. The second one had a few Boomers, one Dino-Rang and Hex and Zap, and something else. Nothing really to report.

I drive around the Phoenix Valley (Arizona) for my job so if I see a place that sells Skylanders while I'm out I'll stop there so it works out pretty nice. I'm up to 16 Skylanders now.

Not Gamestop but I called Wal-Mart after seeing this thread and was told they just put more on the shelf 15 minutes prior to my call. I was already on the way home so I stopped in. The did have a good number of Stump Smash and Voodood but no Drill Sergeant. The lady asked if she could help me and I asked her if she had any Drill Sergeant that she was aware of. She said they had a lot but some lady bought them all like five minutes before I arrived. So aggravating.

Columbus, OH area Toys R' Us and EB Games both got some limited stock in. We have three TRU's, two still had some limited stock of boomer, bash, wrecking ball, zap, and one or two others. They also had some 3 packs, even one pack of the Wrecking Ball, Sonic Boom, Stealth Elf which I almost talked myself into buying because I need the SE out of it. The other store said he put 20 out and 2 hours later was sold out. EB Games had somewhat same variety, just less of them. I only need SE and the two exclusives that I am waiting for the 3 pack to get. Errr, I mean my son wants them, really...

The closest walmart to me got some stock in but not whirl or drill, the only 2 i need that are currently available. From the sounds of it, it was wave 1 figures with stump and sonic and what not. Nothing new in town for me.

Yep every store I go to has a full supply of the starter packs. I just got a copy of the 3DS version off amazon warehouse deals for $49 like new. After getting those three characters the only things left I need are Chop Chop, the Pirate Adventure Pack, the Legendary Pack, Whirlwind and Drill Sargeant.

They're more like clever ways to buy into the property via partnerships. It helps with getting more money to the individual stores, as well as Skylanders as a whole.
(ooh. They're also more like...3 months. According to what I saw at Walmart, Drill Sarge ended on the 31st of December, so I assume the same was for Whirlwind)

It shouldn't be, no.

When I went there shortly after the new year, they had a giant cardboard triangle thing (I usually saw them at TRU near there extra area for Skylanders stuff) which stated "Exclusive Figure: DRILL SERGEANT. Offer Expires 12-31-11"

My Target had a Stealth Elf alone with nothing else left! I have no idea why nobody bought, but I didn't want to take any chances of not seeing it again so I bought it. I needed a Life skylander anyways.

Picked up Pirate Seas and Drobot/Flameslinger/Stump Smash the week before Christmas at Game Stop. They haven't had jack since. Kicking myself for not picking up a Zap/Hex/Dino-Rang when I saw it. Looking forward to the new triple pack coming out though.

This thread is kind of taunting considering how almost every store across the US is out of Skylanders (except your Gamestop). I have been to about 6 stores in the past week that didn't even have one Skylander! It is exciting YOU and probley YOU ONLY that your Gamestop got a shipment. You really didn't need to make a thread about this. Just Sayn'.

Every single gamestop in the Phoenix area got a small shipment last week (40+ stores) so I see no reason why I shouldn't have made a thread about it. It at least let's people know to be on the lookout and that they are shipping more out at least in small quantities.

#34 Posted: 16:03:37 08/01/2012
I'm just trying to find Zap. I'd been checking online at Target and gamestop to see when single packs r in stock and finally Target said "in stock" so i went there and all they had was 6 single packs and a three pack. I asked the guy if that was really all they had and he said ya that they had only received one box and that's all that comes in a box. Weird thing is though that its happened at a couple of the gamestops around here too. Seems like random stores are only getting one random box of skylanders o.O

Thought I struck gold when I visited my local GameStop over my lunch hour. They had just received a box that was still unopened. He opened it, and pulled out one of each of the adventure packs (including EoI). Then he went to the singles, but they were all previously released figures that we had. SOOOOOOO close.

Somebody will be happy to get that EoI, though.
