Your Toys R Us is opening at 8am for this release? Where do you live? Mine doesn't open until 10am, so I have to wait to pick it up after classes in the afternoon, but luckily they're holding one for me. If they opened at 8am I would go before class.

It maybe 10am...thought they opened at 8am...anyways thanks I'll look into that!

Wait for it.....

Dude, wait for what?

We will see Thursday....

Thanks for the info on posting pics.

Do you have an image?

Will I be able to see my image once I post or is it just supposed to say user posted image?

hmm. doesn't look like its popping up. try uploading it to photobucket or imgur, then look for a [img]code, and copy paste that to the forums. you may also see a 'direct code'; you can copy that and place it between img tags which go [*img][*/img] (remove stars)
or hit that little tree with the sun image above your post to pop em into your post

hope that helps!

I'll try it again let me know if you see image

Don't know how to make it smaller I'm gonna try in this post here again let me know if y'all can see it cuz I can't all I can see is user posted image?

Unless I do it like this but wanted to get that smaller pic to show here without having to click the link http://imgur.com/i2zhZxJ

We got the image, caz. No need to post multiple times in a row.

Sry new to this posting pic thing I was trying
Diff ways can u see a pic in all three of my last post or just the really big one

It's fine, gotta learn sometime. Imgur has different image size options when you upload, try and play around with those by editing your image post to experiment.

I only see the large one.

Yup its there. If you want to shrink it down, go onto your imgur album and you view one of your images, there's a little palette icon you can click. doing that will take you to an editing program built into imgur where you can shrink the image down. (i find that knocking one of the dimensions down to 500 pixels is great. that way it doesn't stretch the forum no matter where you are)

Anything new on this?

Gotcha do I have to have a account to do that cuz I didn't see any options to shrink.

TRU's are putting them out early it seems. Just scored a set here in OKC.

Hmm...my local TRU says they're getting them in tomorrow. He seemed the think they'll have plenty left, even if I get in later that day, but we'll see. I even warned him about scalpers...he had no news about the rest of wave 4 though.

Is scratch out the 13th at TRU?

Whoops! Read the post wrong! Sorry, there's no news on Scratch for TRU!

I checked ebay, there are some listings

I just left TRU, CONFIRMED they will be out @ 9:am @ my local TRU ! I was even showed the items by the electronics manager. I'll brave the snow storm here in MICHIGAN to go in the am.. Happy Hunting..

Great to know they are not locked out of the system to sell till tomorrow. Good news if anyone else finds them put out early.

Yep, they have them - the boxes are NOT street dated (well they are, but it says Oct 13 2013, which all boxes say that). So if they are being held for tomorrow that is by some internal communication for which the employees are not aware. The register allows purchase just fine, just picked them up no problem. The helpful employees had the boxes sitting there that had just arrived, they opened one for me and I have to say - these figures will not be rare. They had like 15 cases (which is more than they usually get, I didn't count them but I think it was in that neighborhood), the packing is like this:

1 x Stink Bomb
1 x Rubble Rouser
5 x Trap Shadow
5 x Freeze Blade

So by my math, my store alone has around 75 of EACH new swapper. Not to mention the cases do not have much filler (and the filler is popular), so restock should be frequent without clogging shelves with figures that don't move.

They did NOT get in Wave 4 singles, looks like Walmart is still the place to go for those.

Dublin, CA TRU didn't have any yet, but said to expect them by Friday at the latest, probably tomorrow.

Pics because it did happen:

niiiiiiice!

Got both at Watchung Toys R Us NJ

Thanks trikster68 for the heads up ur awesome

Very happy to see that Activision did MUCH better with the assortment for Trap Shadow and Freeze Blade this year, compared to the shoddy work they did distributing Ninjini at first last year.

5 of each Trap Shadow and Freeze Blade per box is awesome. The initial shipments of Ninjini last year around this time had only 1 or 2 Ninjini per box, mixed with lots of others that people mostly already owned (Crusher, Swarm, Hot Head, etc.).

Wait for it......

Thanks for the advice! I just got back from my local TRU, and they did indeed have a ton of both swappers out on the shelves already! I grabbed one of each for myself, and they look awesome!

For anyone nearby, I went to the Boynton Beach, Florida TRU.
(And if you are nearby, send me a PM, I'm always looking to make new Skylander friends! )

Picked up both at Toys R Us in Southeastern, Michigan. I called right after the UPS truck dropped them off. They put them aside for me while I shoveled myself out of my driveway. When I got there, they did not have any on the pegs, so maybe they are holding them until tomorrow. Good luck everyone.

That's what's at my tru 4 freeze blade 5 trap shadow 1 stink bomb 1 rubble rouser and 1 spy rise but the 4 and 5 could change by box for the number of freeze blades and trap shadows
}

I got the entire lot !! My homie @ TRU hook me up today !

I hope everyone is happy.........

Nothing at all in my area. Called and got the two typical "Nope, nothing" employees.

called but because of the blizzard in my area toys r us is closed

I found Freeze Blade and Trap Shadow at the Toys R Us in Mechanicsburg PA. They had tons of them out on the pegs.

I bought enough Traps and Freeze's, that all I need to have 16 of each, is 5, lol. Almost done with my project of displaying all 256.

So there is still no legitimate confirmation that this is happening. Just some guy who said an employee pointed at a sign which he didn't take a picture of?

Um.. Do you not see all of these pictures of them in-hand? It either happened already or will happen tomorrow, depending on your area.

My Toys R Us in Utah has them ( showed them to me ) but said they are street dated for release tomorrow.

Yeah...This is a go for Trap and Freeze. My local TRU had them.

Go back and ask someone else to get them for you. They're not street dated. I found mine today on the shelves, and I didn't have any problems at all with them at the register.

The Castleton store in Indianapolis had plenty of stock as well. Picked up one of each.

I just got back from my Toys R Us in Virginia and a really nice manager let me pick them up early, but he said the memo he got was for tomorrow, so he still has them locked up in back. The odd thing is that the other Toys R Us here the manager said he got a memo that they're being held for the sale on 3/16/14 Sunday. But he's not sure what figures are coming in for that sale. Is it possible they could get the corelanders for wave 4 for Sunday and it's a separate memo?

Anyways, I picked up mine! I took these photos for proof this time. I looked through several boxes and the make up seems to vary between 5 (or 4) Trap Shadow, 5 (or 4) Freeze Blade, 1 Spy Rise, 1 Stink Bomb, and 1 Rubble Rouser. So the number of the new figures included is either 5 or 4 swinging either way.
