Well, of course. smilie

It's a game for the people marketing the product, too - keeping the consumer just on the edge of being able to complete their collection ... "once I track down Wham-Shell, my collection will be complete!" ... and just before that happens, adding "just one more thing" that you need to get.

Oh, whatever. The whole "Europe gets screwed" argument officially died yesterday, when Nintendo said the Kid Icarus AR cards would be available in stores across the European continent. Us Americans got the shaft there, though if you haven't played Kid Icarus you don't understand why this is such a huge deal.


No, we Europeans still get screwed over. At least if you want to scan the AR cards, you can just look them up on a website. Sure, you don't have the physical card, but you can still reap the benefits. We can't scan over Skylander sidekicks off of the Internet.

And honestly, if that's the first time you've felt worse off than Europe, you should have tried being a gamer here up until a few years ago when we constantly got screwed over (and still do, although not to the extent we did).


Still not buying it. Europe got the Super Famicom, we got Super Nintendo (ie EU got the correctly named console). That was over 20 years ago, longer than about 75 percent of these boards have been alive. Europe gets screwed? Xenoblade, The Last Story, Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland and a handful of others say otherwise.

AND Europeans don't have to deal with neo cons, so AUTOMATIC ADVANTAGE. I'm not being hostile here; I'm really just jealous and wished I lived in Europe.

If I had to take a guess:
1) Probably just a specific marked bag. They're the 20 count ones, and I mean, you could always use them in a lunch, or donate them to your local hunger center if you really don't want them. I'd REALLY hope that they allow you to choose which one you want for mail in. If not, we're gonna have to have some sort of Sidekicks Swap Meet.

2) I hope they're at EVERY store that sells the chips, or at least Walmart. Honestly, I don't know why they chose the TrueValu brand of stores (Aldi's, Save-A-Lot, Acme, and Albertsons, etc) They're kind of small, and apparently not every store got them either, so that was kind of weird. At least with a larger chain like Walmart, you have more people seeing them, buying them, and getting the figures.

3) Yes, yes we do.

Good thing you have a friend who eats nothing but Lay's chips and has a few kiddos around to help eat those chips. Depending on the time frame of the offer, I am sure I can scrounge up a total of 8 of these things and send you the 4 you will need. Let me know.

Yeah, but we had a 6 month wait for Pokemon Diamond/ Pearl. And we get the majority of games released later too.
And slightly on topic with Skylanders.... we still don't have Dragon's Peak in the UK :/.
For Spyro, you cannot buy and download the classic trilogy in the PS store, despite being able to in NA since... 2008 I believe I heard it was? Considering my PS2 will no longer play PS1 games, that really gets me.

As a European gamer, you shouldn't be jealous of a handful of releases that were earlier in Europe. Not when theres been 20 years of later releases for something that just needed alternative box art to include a few extra languages at most. Some games might need a couple of extra translations, but they don't need to take 6 months :/.

Also, da heck? Jealous of us because we have a console with the "correct" name?? Thats.... not even worthy of anything more than a "oh did you know...?" on a wiki page or something. Let alone being JEALOUS of.

But seriously. You're jealous of a handful of games we got earlier. Most of which are by a few days (Yes I know The Last Story isn't yet out in NA, and apparently Xenoblade doesn't even have a release date?). When the norm is a NA release first, in the past by a few WEEKS, now by a few days depending on the title (Highly anticipated ones are the same day). If you have been a European gamer all your life, you would not be thinking that. You would be constantly frustrated with all your friends playing this one game that isn't even released here for another few weeks.
Or heck, going on about how GREAT this one movie is and.... oh its not coming out for another three months and they didn't even have to change a language! (Disney movies are the worst offenders :/. When Americans are talking about getting it on DVD, we've only just got it in cinemas)


More on topic, these sidekicks look cute, could potentially see the use in them. But they are going to have to be released outside of this promotion. Otherwise every country but America wont see them. I don't even know if Walkers do promotion things like that?
Wouldn't mind seeing them come out in stores a month or so after the promotion runs out, just so people can get them "first" and then people can buy a pack of 'em if they missed 'em.

I'm sure there'll be an alternative to them. We've seen DP in Target in..Australia I think? And the singles of Dark Spyro in other countries as well.

If not with a Frito-Lay promotion, then potentially even the ability to buy them at the store, which would honestly be a much better way to do it.

Astrail and Deandria pretty much covered everything. We got the "Super Nintendo", but it looked like the Famicom. We didn't get Super Mario RPG or Earthbound for our SNES. There were many games we didn't get, and many many more games that we got three months, six months, a years, two years later than you. Not to mention PAL versions of games that ran so slow that they were jarring at the best of times.

Believe you me, I would love to swap our release schedule with that of America.

Anyway, back on topic, does anyone remember the guy who posted here about Trigger Snappy and so many people laid into him because they thought he was lying? I wonder if he's laughing at everyone who did that now?

Another issue: I eat organically. Im positive I can't go buy a whole case of chips. So I'm gonna have to buy one off eBay or amazon, but it's gonna be like 200 bucks or more! I don't have that kind of cash!

Since the names are already programmed, could they still be the ones we already know of, rather than the giant themed ones? Since..they could change the data that's aready there, right?

I'm theorizing that if they do a mail in thing, you'll be able to choose which figur you want. That way, you'll only be buying 4 bags...which should be about $24. Depending on how they're distributed, what you have to do, etc..I could see if I can get some for people. This is granted they don't pull some random crap which'll probably happen.

In the least, you could buy the chips and donate them to a hunger center or something.

Just wondering, why would you think that? I was hoping this would be a more aggressive promo, so the chips would be easier to find! I haven't found the current ones anywhere, other than the $1 coupon ones at Walmart, and I've looked in at least 15 stores!

I'm sure this will be a more aggressive promotion, and because of that, the bags may turn out to be harder to find. I could be wrong though.

With huge displays like that, it will be easy to advertise those bags, which means that more people will buy them and then there's the same ol' Skylanders supply and demand issue. This is just my opinion. Who knows, maybe that won't be the case this time.

Yup, it's a back to school thing. The official date is supposed to begin in June, but that's kind of an odd time to have them. You'd be buying things more near July/August though for back to school.

I believe they'll have more of an announcement, but plenty of bags. I can't see them hiding them away somewhere or something. If you ask me, Flocked Stumpy being Phase 1 of their promotional partnership was just sort of testing the waters. Conclusion: There's only a small fraction of die hard fans that would have see this stuff. As such, they have to have an ad campaign to attract more attention.

Of course, these figures won't be accessible ANYWHERE other than the US, and will end up in the hands of dirtbag scalpers meaning that fans will never get the chance to get any of them.


"starting to take the piss now" i cant handle this. i realize you are from a different country so this is probably a common phrase, but to me it is the best thing i have read all day. thank you for the laugh, kind sir.

Just want to say, I posted on frito lays Facebook page, looking for more info on the "phase 2" promotion...specifically stating skylanders sidekicks in my post. They referenced me to the current promotion and said let us know if this helps. I replied with a "NO!" and I have heard nothing back in response. You may wanna "like" their fb page, as they did post info (very little, but still...) on the current promo, the day it rolled out. I am nervous this phase two will be marketed in different supermarket chain, as I had no trouble finding the flocked stump bags!!!

It says on the packaging "FREE SIDEKICK with every purchase EXCLUSIVE collectable figures you won't find anywhere else" so it looks like if you want them all you'll be buying a few packets of crisps. smilie



Well this is a reason for me to get out of my country...Indonesia

What is a flocked stump smash


See this post for pics.

Basically, it's a special edition Stump Smash that has a flocked covering over it. (that velvet-y stuff on jewelry boxes). It's only being distributed through the Frito-Lay promo, and we're kind of guessing right now that it'll be like the other special variants- Level 5 with 2100 coins.

Well, they have display boxes at Walmart for the phase 1 promotion, but I have seen them stacked in an odd area...on a main aisle, or in the front of the store (beyond the checkout lanes) but not necessarily where I would normally be shopping (or looking for chips). Plus, the Walmart bags, in this phase, don't contain the "good" offers that are out there. Hopefully, they saturate the market better for phase 2, but that's only gonna benefit us if the creatures are inside the bags!! Some people here have only won in the phase 1 promo via the toll free numbers. If the market is over-saturated, that method of entry is gonna be useless...as I assume they will have a method of entry that does not require a purchase, since legally I think they have to. Can't wait to get on to phase 2!!
