It has been revealed that Frito Lay is again running a promotion that involves buying a specially marked bag of chips, which includes a card for you to get one of the new Sidekicks: Barkley, Thumpling, Mini-Jini, and my personal favourite, Eye-Small. There is also a coupon that lets you save a dollar on your next Skylander purchase. Sadly, this promotion is only running in the US again. That means no Sidekicks for us Canadians, Europeans, Australians, and every other person that does not live in America. Darn you, Activision and Frito Lay!

date??

It is unfair that only US get the sidekicks!

Unknown as of now. What do you mean by that, anyway?

In my opinion, if they can't offer up the figures equally in all regions/areas then they don't need to bother. I know it's frustrating for ALL parties. It's just been tempered based on where the figure was exclusive and where you lived.

If i actually see a picture of Giants Sidekicks in someones house then ill believe that its actually out.

By that time, you can't get any more from Frito-Lay.

^ doesnt matter to me im in Canada, i don't think we get Frito Lay giants sidekicks stuff, mostly U.S. also i can always buy them online even though it cost more, people will eventually sell them online when they are release.

anyone else think they didnt try very hard AT ALL to make these sidekicks? the original sidekicks had a little difference to them but these......they just got smaller

^this

You what I don't get? I've seen those same chip bag packs in Canada, so why the heck aren't we Canadians getting the Sidekicks too? I really want Thumpling and Eye-Small!

$12.50 S+H?! That's outrageous! Guess we won't be getting these..

It says $2.50 the dollar sign looked liked a 1

So how much do these bags (or is it boxes) typically cost? I came into the game late so I got the SA Sidekicks off eBay, but I'd like to get these the legit way.

I believe they're about six dollars, not bad at all if you like chips, and really who doesn't?

^ i don't like chips not healthy, i only eat healthy food such pork, hamburger, ribs, deep fried chicken and anything else thats deep fried hahaha lol XD

Ugh, you don't need to eat the chips.

I saved them for a party.

I know what my kids are taking to school with them for lunch

I'm canadian, got my 4 SSA sidekicks on eBay, but how does this work when you want them legit? You buy a bag of chips and there's 1 of the 4 at random inside? Or is it written which one is inside on each bag?

It's a mail-in order thing. The bags have acode inside to enter online. You send in this code along with your info and maybe send in the one you want the most (not guaranteed to get that one though). You pay for the shipping then x weeks later the sidekick is mailed to you.

I'm Canadian, we have these bags (though I don't think I've seen Sour Cream & Onion Frito Lays Chips, I'd love those), so I don't care, I'm looking for this promotion! LOL!

Not fair that it's not available to us. We're good enough to sell Skylanders to, we're good enough to have Future Shop, Best Buy, EBGames and Walmart (and slowly, Target), the big chains that sell this stuff, we're good enough to sell Frito Lay chips to, but we aren't good enough to get this promotion???

The pics weren't proof enough?

I missed the last promo. We're these bags difficult to find then? I saw an eBay ad where the seller is offering these for $20. I know it hasn't officially started so the bags are probably being held back before putting them on the shelf.

Does it say how many weeks of wait time we have about e shipping.

Now, perhaps this is a dumb question, but these bags are sold in Wal-Mart, yes?

I got my bags at Walmart today...and the bag says allow 10-12 weeks for delivery.

^ this. I am so mad that almost EVERYTHING is for the States, and those Gamestop/EBGames promotions only last so long. At least they should have something like that again.

I got a bag, it gives you three coupons for $1 off a figure, $5 off Giants, and $10 dollars off Swap Force.

Yeah would it have killed them to just do the same thing, but to canada? Its not fair! We are countries that share the same borders so y not just truck'em all the way up north?

I hope to get one.

Found 4 bags tonight: 2 @ Walmart and 2 @ Tops Markets in the Buffalo, NY area (Amherst specifically).

Does anyone know when this promotion ends?

10/20/13.

These guys are so cute, I want them all.

Anyone know if this is gonna come out for availability at gamestop for a $25+ promotion like the last time?? i've already ordered 2 so far thru fritolay this week, i asked for eye-small and thumpling. hopefully i get em!! my wal-mart has so many of these darn things it was hard to miss! i got super excited. if anyone from anyother country wants me to help them get ahold of these i'm sure we can work something out & ill have them ship it straight to your house.

Note that the Gamestop promotion for the SSA Sidekicks was during the reign of Giants. So if Gamestop does it again, it'll probably be next spring, during the time of Swap Force.

As for helping others, such as us poor Canadians, I like to encourage helpfulness so I'll pass on this warning: This is more complicated than it looks, mostly because only one of each can go to an address, so either you would need another address to send to (a relative, a P.O. Box, etc... Needs to be an American address), or any Sidekick you send is a character you can't have for yourself.

Yeah, I'm only getting two because that's as many addresses I have. I don't want to ask to use my parent's or friend's address for this stuff...8 bags of chips is enough for me anyway

Hmmm, another US exclusive promotion? Aparantley tying in game perks to anything outside of the states is too much work, EA's certainly dropped the ball on that respect at least twice.

I'd be more annoyed if the sidekicks actually did anything beyond serve as vanity pets.

Just found out I put in the wrong zip code for my Sidekick orders.

All other info is correct, just not the zip code, is this going to cause a big problem? If so, how do I resolve it?

call them they keep track of your order.
