This probably isn't "hot news" considering it's midweek now, but just in case anyone is looking for sales, Toys R Us is currently offering three (3) Skylanders (regularly priced $9.99 to 10.99) for $20.00 (plus tax). Basically $6.67 per Skylander (can be Swap Force, Giants, or Spyro's Adventure generation characters). That's roughly 33% to 40% off TRU's retail price, comparable to a "buy 2, get one free" type sale.
They are also offering 50% of regular pricing for Giants (Ninjini, Hot Head, Bouncer, etc.). This means $8.00 plus tax.
Both are outstanding prices for new merchandise, especially considering it's Toys R Us and their selection tends to be better than other retailers this year.

Aw, no deals this week? I was hoping to get Blizzard Chill, finally. I should've got the 3 for $20 at TRU last week (I even bought Scratch while the deal was going on... oye).

Not sure if it's been posted somewhere else... (valid 3/23 - 4/19) Target is having a sale on Giants Starter packs. $19.99 for all consoles: 360, PS3, WIIU, 3DS (w/PunchPopFizz), and Battlegrounds iOS.

Giants £4.99 each on Smythstoys.com.
Giants Triple Packs £7.99.

From April 6th - April 12th Target will have buy 2 get 1 free on skylanders.

Toys R Us is doing Buy 1 Get 1 50% off April 6-12th

None of the sites I frequent have Doom Stone though Target, WalMart, ToysRUs

Alright, TRU and Target's sales have been added. Nice to see some bogo deals again!

Amazon currently has the Wii, PS3, and PS4 starters available at $37.49. All other versions are in the $40-$60 range, but as usual with Amazon it'd be a good idea to keep checking on the version you want this week, as they'll likely follow suit.

GameStop has core characters buy 2 get 1 free, Swap Force Starter Pack all platforms down to $49.99 and their exclusive Dark Starter Pack for $59.99. Prices good from 4/7 - 4/15

For Target's B2G1, has anyone tried using 3 of the $1 coupons from the Happy Meals? Some stores allow coupons to apply for a free item as long as it doesn't bring your total below $0. I'm really debating on going with Target or TRU. I don't want to spend too much money, but I figured I might jump on one of the sales with the coupons to pick up for my son's birthday in May. I was wanting to get Springtime Trigger Happy to put in my son's Easter basket. Right now, that's the only one I definitely want to get. If I were to go with TRU, I would probably just get Trap Shadow and get STH 50% off and use 2 of the coupons. Or I could see if Target has Nitro Freeze Blade and get him and Trap shadow and STH as my free one. I just hate having my free one be less than the 2 that I bought. I usually want to get one of equal value. But I definitely want to get him, if I can. If I wasn't getting STH, then going with Target might be the better deal and get 3 swappers for my son's birthday. Right now, though, I'm just tempted to get 1 swapper for his birthday and get 50% off STH. But I also want to get NFB. Decisions...decisions. Whether or not I could use 3 coupons at Target might help me make my decision. I just don't know.

Game in the UK 3 for 2 offers on core characters

I bought 5 nitro freeze blades and 1 nitro magna charges and used 6 $1 off just fine. after tax, redcard 5% and the sale it came to $56-ish for 6 swappers.

Gamestop sale

Hmmm... I might jump on that Dark Edition Starter Pack. I have two Xbox Ones, and I've been considering buying a second Starter Pack. It's unlikely that I'll ever play SSA or SG again, so I could also trade in my PS3 portal for an additional $10 off.

Sadly the dark editions aren't made for the next gen console's

I just got that gamestop email, will gamestop really go through with that portal of power trade-in two stores I called had no idea what I was talking about.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up. You saved me from a wasted trip to GameStop.

They will. They had the same promo during their Skylanders Day event. The employee at my store wasn't aware of the promo either, but he looked it up in the computer and it was there.

Yeah, they will. He didn't know anything about it but I showed him the email and it was there but the guy told me they only accept one.

Thats a relief except about only taking one. Last question does this include dark edition in the trade offer or just regular swapforce

The portal trade-in works towards the Dark Edition as well. That's what I went to get and everything went smoothly.

If I had the money to waste, I'd definitely consider the Dark Edition. If they are taking coupons, the $10 Happy Meal coupon and the $10 off with the portal (I have several lying around) would make it $40. That would probably be worth it for the variants, alone, but we've been having to save as much as we can, and haven't even picked up all the characters, yet, not less worry about variants of characters we already have. I might be willing to sell my original set, though, to make up for it, but I doubt I'd get much for it.

I think the McDonald's coupons say not valid with any other offer.

Just want to say that the OP of this thread kicks butt for volunteering his time to keep the community up to date on retail store deals and sales.

As does the fine print for the Portal Trade-In.

Tru sale news all spyro's adventure figures are bogo, got a wham-shell with stump smash free, I also saw scarlet ninjinis with green stickers on clearance it says"was $15.99 now on green clearance" was $7.99 at register they had like 20 of them.

Haha thanks a bunch. I'm happy to help, and also because I think it can get confusing on a week to week basis when deals happen and there's a bunch of different threads and stuff.

I've actually been monitoring and I forgot to add the Gamestop and other stuff, but its Saturday so I think most of the sales will be done after today.
As for the McD Coupons, I believe Donatron is right about the not valid offer. However I think some stores are able to bypass it and allow you to stack with other offers. Not sure which ones specifically, but that was my understanding any way lol.

Ah sweet find, maxzter! I think the green stickers are their "Fire Sale Specials". I've seen other products with the green stickers at TRU and it's mostly stuff they're trying to basically close out and get rid of. I guess Scarlet Ninjini is on the chopping block. A friend of mine said he spotted LC Hex at Target with a special reduced price (I wanna say it was like $7.99?) as well so...maybe stores are trying to clear out of stuff that's been shelfwarming now?

The Gamestop promotion ends 4/15.

I was able to get the Dark Edition with the McDonald's coupon and the portal trade. Nice!

I saw 1 more scarlet ninjini at another tru minus the green sticker, so if anyone didn't get her you may want to check a local tru.

Alright, added all this week's new sales. Walmart is the only one I saw and didn't add because the only sale was the starter pack, and the other stores beat the price anyways. (And it wasn't part of their normal ad, it was some random secondary ad lol)

Looks like the name of the game this week is buy 1 get one 50%.

Wow, this might be the best week (across all USA retailers) for Skylanders sales and promotions ever.
Target and GameStop is basically 33% off (as long as you buy 3), and TRU, Best Buy, and KMart is basically 25% off (as long as you buy 2).

If you are Gamers Unlocked at Best Buy you get 20% off Skylanders any time, but with the promo this week you get 20% off the first figure and then 60% off the second (100 x .8 x .5 = .4). I was able to grab 4 swappers for $36. I had wanted to get the regular versions of Night Shift, Magna Charge, Hoot Loop and Freeze Blade, but since I had their variants I was waiting for a solid deal. $9 each is good enough for me. I doubt we will get anything better on those for quite a while, and even then the best I could see is something along the lines of a BOGO which would make them $7.50 each. This is the first time other than when buying Lightcore figures I have purposely bought more than one version of a character. I really like the Swap Force and obviously don't see them ever being reposed so I would like to have some duplicates to have for the other paths, but I still refuse to buy the exact same figure more than once so at least I should end up with two versions of 9 out of the 16.

I forgot to mention tru also had those metallic green gill grunts out, can't remember what promotion they were originally apart of.

You can use the coupon. All coupons have that wording, but every store will take them. To them, it's just like cash. They get reimbursed for them and the manufacturer doesn't even know what price the store sold the item for. The stores just mail them all together to the manufacturer and get the money back from them. No store will deny you using a coupon for an item on sale. If a cashier denies it, then talk to a manager.

This week has been a no-go for me. I saw plenty of Sprinttime Trigger Happys at TRU on Friday, but knowing they were having the B1G150% off deal this week as well as a bunch of other stores, I decided to wait (one, because my son was with me, and two, because other stores were cheaper to begin with). But now, it seems, all of the stores are sold out. There were none at Best Buy or TRU. I did find Punk Shock at BB, but that was it. I was hoping to get STTH for my son's Easter basket and pick up Fryno (which is the the corelander he has at the top of his list). Kmart seems my only hope, unless the other stores get more in.

Was on TRU's website today looking at the sale and noticed they have a count down for something big in Skyland

http://www.toysrus.com/family/...igkw=skylanders

That's the announcement date for Skylanders 4.


EDIT; ToysRUs has knocked down the prices of Spyro's Adventure singles to $3.99, and Triples to $9.99. It's probably the last stock they have.

maybe the'll let us pre-order it then!

Crazy question - has anyone tried trading in a SWAP Force portal for $10 off a SWAP Force bundle at GameStop? Does it *have* to be one of the older portals?

ToysRUs' eBay currently has the Wii U SWAP Force bundle on sale for $229.

It's today only, so hurry:

That is a really good deal, if you're in the market for a Wii U.
Although Amazon typically has this bundle for sale @ $235 (with Prime).
Also, note that this Wii U is the "basic" 8 GB version, not the "deluxe" 32 GB version.
For those interested in the exclusive Wash Buckler figurine, he sells for roughly $19-20 on eBay currently, new and loose.

tru also today and tomorrow also has giants b1g1 free just the giants not the normal sized ones, also they have swap force starters packs 50% off, and b1g1 50% off on figures & accessories for swap force

Hey guys! Hope you're all having a good Easter! I'm with the family today but I'll be updating this thread later on tonight with whatever is in the ads (i didn't even look to see if there was anything lol)
Regardless, I'll make sure to move this stuff to the previous sales thread as well.

Not that it's a great deal or anything, but this week (4/20-4/26) Best Buy has Buy "1 get 1 50% off of $9.99 Swap Force single core characters". Best Buy is also offering $5 off Swap Force battle, adventure and triple packs.

Amazon has Swap Force battle packs for $15 and Swap Force Adventure packs for $16.

TRU online has most Giants triple packs (including Legendary triple pack) and Swap Force triples, adventure, and battle packs for $15.99. There's some SSA triples and the Giants battle packs for $14.99.

Its all be claimed now but amazon Lightning deals had rumble rouser and Spy rise for 6.99 if you click on them I think ytou can be added tot he wait list. they might offer it for those that get on the list.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox

its at the bottom left.

So I was looking again at the Amazon Lightning deals and there is one coming up at 4pm central time for the swap force single characters. It doesn't state the value as of yet but if your looking you might want to check it out.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox

Its listed under the upcoming deals right now.

They had the single characters for 3.99. The deal is over now though. Hopefully everyone got a chance to buy some.

You can still join the waitlist for some. Picked up Spyro and Pop Fizz for 3.99 ea., those were the only ones from the list I haven't picked up yet.
