^ Walmart in Lancaster. Didn't have to travel up your way this time.

Picked up Freeze Blade and Trap Shadow on Friday.

Look what I just found overseas packaging in the U.S. That's a little weird

Yeah these have been popping up for sometime now.

I just ordered this.... It shipped and should be here in 7 to 15 days.....

I saw a European Rattle Shake at Walmart on Sunday too.

@trixster68

Where did you find it?

The same place I did, a Chinese website known for selling defective/prototype/NIB figures, called TaoBao.

Please do not post links, because there's occasional adult content that can pop up on it.

So since I'm assuming you guys didn't buy defective or prototype figures, these are of the 'fell off an assembly line' variety.

yea got mine ordered also

They have massive security around those manufacturing facilities to make sure workers don't walk off with stuff and often the workers live on-site where they can be monitored. The penalties are harsh for the manual labor to steal stuff. More likely it is someone that runs the plant that has decided to supplement his income with the "defective" items.

Not in particular. Brand new figures are almost always working.

Finally found ESS this afternoon.

I guess my comment was related to what defpally said in that if these are NIB figures not yet available, there are some shady dealings going on at the Chinese factory (probably at the management level) to get them to the site. I guess that's a sad fact to accept about most of the merchandise we import from China - that even with the waste and abuse things are still cheaper than making them domestically...

Agreed.

here's a picture of the skylanders i recently acquired...

Got these two tonight. My brother in law said he saw them at costco so i went for a 40 minute drive into town just to get them. They are my first skylanders from wave 4 ive found. A lot of them had bad paint, but i managed to get a freeze blade with near perfect paint, and a trap shadow with ok paint. But trap shadow's package practically fell apart. Terrible glue.

It's amazing how little it costs to manufacture things when you don't care about little things like human rights or worker safety.

hahah i hear ya on the paint job.
im still searching for a good paint job on FB and TS.

Went to GameStop to see what i could find for the Buy 1 get one 50% off and use the rest of my gift card i had and i picked up Smolderdash and Dune Bug! Check them off my list!

haha it drives me crazy when theres only one there to choose from too. I ended up getting a not so great stink bomb cause there were only 3 there. But it was the first time seeing it after it was out for months in the states. Then I went to target and they had a bunch. So I was a bit upset about that. But I hate missing out on getting them, just in case i never see it again.

Got 3 Jade Flashwings New in Box on eBay for dirt cheap

dot enchanted star strike!

Got Trap Shadow and Freeze Blade at GameStop yesterday and I just picked up Fryno and Scratch from Best Buy

Australia finally got some new figures, I'm actually surprised that we didn't end up getting these super late like the end of next month or something.

(I got two of and but the others aren't in this picture.)

Picked up Trap Shadow, Spy Rise, LC Wham Shell and the Sheep Wreck Island pack. That's all the luck I've had D: Still need the other Wave 2 and 3 swappers along with some of their cores. I hate that I've missed out on Grim Creeper and Smoulderdash

Finally found ESS.

Just picked up Nitro Freeze Blade at Southport Target in Indianapolis. Got there at the opening of the store and two other people were in front of me. The target salesman had to go in the back to get them and they only had 4 total. The first guy got 2 and the guy in front of me wanted 2 but handed me one and said "I am not gonna cut you out" I thanked him and shook his hand. Awesome morning and got to have a act of kindness towards me.

Got Nitro FB my Target had 12 and to go in the back to get them. I only need Doom Stone, Jade FC and Kick off Countdown. I can't wait....

Picked up Fryno, Puck Shock, Enchanted Star Strike and the Springtime Trigger Happy yesterday at Wal-Mart. Wife checked Friday evening on her way from home and they weren't out, yesterday afternoon they were. Wife and son are going to Target today to get Nitro Freeze Blade. Still looking for Scratch.

Picked up NFB this morning.

I got Nitro Freeze Blade from Target this morning after Church. Went by TRU after that when it opened and I picked up Hot Dog, Springtime Trigger Happy and Easter packaged Punk Shock. Heck of a morning right there

I have ya beat, mine is set for delivery TOMORROW! So excited!

All right Matteomax the reason mine took so long is I could not find the thing for a week on taobao for some reason? Then when I did find it I ordered it. Please let me know that yours works fine when you get it? Thanks Trixs

I got NFB earlier today and SWI on Friday.

Bought NFB today, as well as more swappers to reach that goal of displaying all 256 combinations. Best Buy is running a B1G1 50% off on at least swappers.

Got him last night.
