Give us Wham-Shell! Activision is evil! [CLOSED]

Okay they give us 6 months worth of frustration in finding these characters and make the final one (Wham-Shell) next to impossible to find! and now no telling how many bags of chips we would have to buy to get the 4 Sidekicks.

I have yet to find a single store within 50 miles of here that has ever even seen a Wham Shell and I'm in Ohio with dozens of Walmarts, Toys-r-Us, Gamestops, etc... This is ridicilous, I seriously don't know if I will even bother with the new Skylanders Giants, Activision will regret operating this way because I'm sure there are others that feel the same way.

You're certainly not alone here. I'm dreading the "SideKicks" promotion also, cus I'm sure its going to be hard as heck to find/do and get these.

As for Wham-shell, I've never seen one in store down here either (And I'm in Florida in a major city) full of walmarts/TRU's and Gamestops and still zero have been spotted at any of these. Heck my husband works at walmart in the Electronics department and he's been the one getting my all the new ones as they come out when they get them, and he's NEVER seen a wham shell even come into the store. If one has its been when he's off work. But he's usually the one stalking them.

I got Wham shell, but only cus I had a generous person on here offer me a trade for him. Thats the ONLY reason why I have one.

I plan to get Giants and play it, but I'm hoping that the hunt (Even though most of the hunt was enjoyable this last wave was downright ANNOYING)will not be as big of a pain in the bum with it otherwise I'll refraine from getting all of them with it.

I know that feel. Ohio friend too, newest thing I've seen was a single of Lightning Rod. I've yet to see a single of Zook, much less ones of Camo, Warnado or even Whammy. I've got a ton of storeas I check near every day too.

Hopefully they'll pick up soon in online realtors as well as in stores now that there's not any new figs coming out.. If not, I have to seriously question what I'll be buying in Giants.

They could avoid all this if they just print a bunch of the new ones. Why in any form of sanity would they put ONE ina new box?

After they had allegedly sewn up holes in their distribution and increased production of figures, all the enduring rarity of Wham-Shell does is prove to me that they have likely been fabricating shortages to increase demand all along.

At least you guys had the Frito Lay promotion. No Flocked Stump Smash for Canada.


Now, what am I going to do with all these Wham-Shells?

Lol, let that set the tone for a lot of the places you'll want to buy Wham Shell from. Unless it's a big brand, don't sell your card details or soul to these people.

Wow, I find it odd that people still need Camo and Warnado. I find them all the time. And the Toys R Us I frequent has row upon row of L-TH. Guess I just got lucky.

I've heard on the Irate Gamer show that these people are working as fast as they can to increase production of the items. But of course, that's what Activision claim. With all the popularity, it's no surprise that they'll just get snagged again by greedy eBay-goers. And not the good kind, either.
