East side of San Antonio, Texas. Off 1604, at Gamestop. Bought just the two, but left three more of each. Every Gamestop in town caught the same shipment today according to the clerk, and many have yet to be unpacked. UPS is dropping them one by one.

Unfortunately, the Gamestop in my town said that they didn't get any Skylanders in today and probably wouldn't get any in until February 1. smilie

The Gamestops around Stafford and Richmond, Tx got one each of the singles today. I picked up one of each but had to go to different Gamestops.

the gamestops i went to in the kansas city metro area, on phone they all told me lies. in person, two stores i trust and like, told me they will be getting their shipment tomorrow of like 6 single characters. one guy told me to call him after they open and hed the ones i wanted for me. and theres a gamestop not far from that one that also said they were getting their shipment tomorrow.
it sucks because i have a 5 dollar coupon and a free skylanders coupon from toys r us, but they have no clue as to when they are getting anything.

I was able to quickly snatch two Cynders from a local Gamestop. They told me our resident scalper was on his way. He had asked if they could hold them, they said no, LMAO!

EDIT: One is my daughters. She had the biggest eyes I'd ever seen. Made my day. I have the other on a portal behind me.

I still need 2 Cynders and I can say I am done until April.

Thanks for the heads up. I called my local Gamestop (admittedly it was only 30-45 minutes ago) and they had no Skylanders. I was told to call daily at around noon to see if any came in on their new shipments. I'll be calling daily I guess.

Seems like im gonna be screwed. I have a STRONG feeling that i'm going to get them in stock tomorrow at my gamestops and not be able to pick them up because i'll be in school.

I'll be so upset if my brother can't go for me and I lose them after all the searching ive done.

I got really lucky at a random Gamestop today. I couldn't believe it. They had just gotten a small shipment in but it was all singles and there were no duplicates. It was a bunch that I was looking for including Cynder, Flameslinger, and Chop Chop. They also had Double Trouble and Drill Sargent singles but I didn't get them because I've already pre-ordered that 3 pack from Amazon.

While I didn't really go out of my way, two Gamestops I went to today (in California) had nothing. One actually had a note saying they didn't have any Skylanders stock, instead hanging business cards from the pegs to call for future availability lol.

A local Gamestop here has only one Cynder left, they cannot hold it, but I cannot pick it up for another 5 hours. What does everyone think my chances of getting it are? Note: The weather is pretty bad too.

gamestop got their shipment in my area today (tuesday) 6 figures per store. most of them were sold out like 30 minutes after they got their shipment. i was lucky i found a gamestop that was like dead all day, and they had all of the figures still, i called a head and he held them for me. i got cynder and double trouble. finally im done...
i hope activision gets their crap together for the next wave, cause im not going to go crazy like i did this one and search for 3 days before finally getting lucky.

Just did my daily lunch rounds. TRU had a few triple packs of Zap/Hex/Dino-Rang and Eruptor/Chop Chop/Bash, but that was all.

Target had nothing.

Wal-Mart had nothing.

Game Stop actually had some singles, including Whirlwind, Drill Sergeant, Chop Chop and Flameslinger. I asked them if this was all that was in the box, and the girl said, "yes." Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't there also be a Cynder and a Double Trouble in that box? I'm not too upset about it, because it allowed me to pick up Whirlwind and Drill Sergeant, but still. I almost made a big score.

Not going to open them yet because I would still like to find the triple pack with Double Trouble. Or a single pack of Double Trouble. I still haven't seen an EoI package yet.

I think we know the answer to that question. She didn't say that someone just bought a couple of them. She said that was all that came in the box. Flipping liar. I should have pressed her on it, but I doubt if it would have gotten me anywhere. The hunt continues!
