Queens, NY. Got there at about 9:30. I was probably fourth or fifth in line. By the time the store opened at 10, there was probably 15 people online.

Central KY, first in line was me at 8:30.

Wow it seems kinda pathetic that this whole entire Skylanders craze has suddenly become the new Teenie Beanie Baby craze and tickle me Elmo.

^ That's strange, the code on my Toys'R'us recipe is slightly different than yours:

Zook: 047875841888

Lightning Rod: 047875841826

I used the UPC on the bottom of my figure, not my receipt.

They added a number to the ends apparently an 8 and a 6...hmmm

^Oh okay, thanks.

Pathetic would have to be on a person to person basis, is a parent wanting to get the new Skylander as pathetic as the scalper who thinks he can make a living off eBaying?

No idea if they had Dragon's Peak or Wave 4 as by the time I got there the shelves were nearly cleared out

BUT, I did find Sonic Boom and Drobot so, the rumors of the old waves getting restocked as well holds up at least.

I don't think there was any doubt that older figures would be there. But the randomness of the new figures makes me mad. And no sightings of the new triple pack that I have heard of. Come on, Activision, get your act together. Stop making people buy singles (i.e. give them more money) when you could distribute the triple packs at the same time for those of us that waited to buy Cynder.

Very upset at both TRU and Activision for today's fiasco.

I think they intentionally screwed people out of the three packs...I didn't see a single one. Did anyone see any three packs let alone of wave four?

Another Vegas person!

3 Packs are set for Sunday. It think they have it already but is holding back like how they held back with the singles.

Except it's not just collectors. As with the Elmo example it's mostly parents trying to get these for their kids.

I have to agree that this might very well be the case. Remember the signs at TRU said "single pack" for 3/21.

^ I saw a lot of parents this morning. A couple even had their kids with them.

I hit two NE Ohio stores. The second had a bunch of LTH. Neither had any Zook or L-Rod. The employee did say they had 36 Dragon's Peak Packs for sale Sunday. One per customer.

Yeah babies even...in the cold. That's why this is so jacked up. I felt so bad for this seven year old that had to give up his copy of Dragon's Peak...he just didn't understand what was going on. That's just messed up.

I didn't see any of the new 3 pack, but the Manchester, NH TRU had a few left of some of the older ones, including one Whirlwind/DT/Drill Sergeant pack behind the counter when I was there.

Arrived at my local TRU about 5:00 AM. My son, his friends, and I had a blast watching videos on our phone, acting goofy and such.

When they were about to open, there was about 20-25 people behind me. My son, his friends, and I were first. My fiancee and daughter joined my group around 9.

This allowed me to get -

- 3 Lightning Rods (2 to open, 1 to hang on wall)
- 3 Zook (2 to open, 1 to hang on wall)
- 7 Dragon's Peaks (2 to open, 1 to hang on wall, 2 to my kids, and I bought two for my sons friends for being nice to help me)

My kids still need their Zook and Lightning Rods (2 of each character). I need an Ignitor single pack and the Cynder/Zook/Lightning Rod triple pack, which someone here has my back on. That kindness will not go unrewarded somehow.

It seems my local Walmarts have started getting wave 4 in. I will keep an eye out for everyone. Fate chose that I should continue to help people, through actually having a slight spark of luck. So it has been decided. So it shall be done.

If they had Bash single packs, then yes, they Zook and L. Rod.

Not true. I was right there at the beginning of the line and nobody had bought any yet. I know none of the TRU employees are scalpers as I'm there all the time and have talked to a few of them about it. The had 3 or 4 Bash's sitting on the table but as I said there was nothing new. They just didn't get any new stuff in period. It was just Bash, Chop Chop, Hex & Drill Sergeant.

I saw an employee opening a box at one of the stores I was at today. One of the case assortments they got only included Bash, Chop Chop, Hex and Drill, with 2 of those double packed in the case (can't remember which two exactly).

That's the same thing I got at my store, but the distribution of the double in the box was either Hex, Chop Chop, or D.S., yet not Bash. It was really strange.

That Dragon's Peak thing is a real mess... it was clear that it was not really going to be released today and the event was always advertised as being for single packs but in that case why put the DPs on the shelves?

I don't know what laws you have there in the US but here there are laws that apply to "brick and mortar" shops... If an item is priced and on the shelves in a shop they HAVE to sell it to you. If they don't you can get them in trouble with the trading standards office (the gorverning body for retail). You guys should check out your local consumer rights.

LOL all the dragons peaks were priced at 3.50 on their registers at my toys r us. of course they still charged us almost 30 bucks for it.
Does anyone know if ALL toys r us stores is doing this restock on sunday?

Went to the Crossroads, Cary/Raleigh NC TrU. Got there at 9:40, with about 18 adults + a bunch of kids in line. By 10 AM that number had roughly tripled.

We were allowed via a ticket to buy 1 figure and whatever else (sets, playsets) we wanted. I only needed to get one Skylander for my daughter, for her Easter basket.

Everyone was orderly and well-mannered (except for some frustrated people cursing around the kids because the store wasn't opened at precisely 10:00:01).

When we got to the Electronics department, there were NO new figures. Most unusual figure they had was Drill Sgt.

I have all of the basic figures (that can be bought via single packs) thus far, so I gave my ticket to a grandma who was buying for her grandson's birthday. She ended up getting Sonic Boom and Drill Sgt.

Wasted around 35 minutes and my head got sunburned :-( Still, I hope that I made that boy's birthday.

I couldn't run out, but fortunately I have a dad who works from home and could go out to TRU (it's five minutes from my house, if that), and he told me that it was a zoo, they had L-Rod and Zook, but no Dragon's Peak. He did grab Bash for me, though. 8'D Now just for Sunburn and Camo and I can have all these pretty dragons sitting on my desk.

Guess I get to go to TRU Sunday, then.

^grats GM! If I'd been able to do more than 5 I would be hooking you up. If I strike it again on Sunday, I'll pick you up what I can. Debating going back and getting a new collection started...sigh...so tempting.

I'd like to know as well. My family lives near the one in Cuyahoga Falls/Akron, and I'm not too far from the one in Youngstown. :0 Gotta work out whether I'm going to get up early or if my fam will be out of the early service in time to hit up TRU for me. (Sleepy college student here, pff.)

I think I saw you. You were the one of the first ones in line. The lady in front of me was having a fit because you had so many figures on the counter.

Alcatalog: I managed to get Zook right before someone almost snatched it out from under me. Going back Sunday for DP.

I just remembered a piece of news to share. I was at Best Buy the other day, asking about Skylanders, and the employee had said that that store itself was going to be getting I think around 80 new figures within the next week or two since Activision has switched manufacturers. If you've had luck at Best Buy, I suggest checking back with them about Wave 4 within the next couple of weeks.

I waited in line for an hour, only to make it in and there were only old figures. They said they weren't selling Dragons Peak, Zook, or L-Rod until Sunday and that we could only get 1 figure period. It was a true waste of time. When I asked the lady which ones they had she couldn't tell me and wouldn't go find out. I will try again on Sunday but I don't have high hopes at all.

I showed up after 10 and didn't any figures from the Flamingo/Maryland location, wish it was me with all those figs.

i got in line and the person in front of me bought the last lightning rod. so i bought zook.

My store had 12 of the wave 3 three-packs.

Went to TRU this AM in Phoenix AZ. Got there 1+ hours early. Did not need to get there that early for a Wednesday it appeared. No one else showed up until 45 mins or so before opening and then the big wave did not show until about 10-15 mins before showtime. They handed out tickets to everyone and it was one Skylander per ticket until everyone who had tickets got to choose. After that, you could buy additional Skylanders, but there were still standard quantity limits to prevent scalping (yay!).

My son (on spring break) and I picked up Zook and Lightning Rod. They had about 18-20 of each of the new chars as well as Hex, Bash, and Igniter. They also had pulled ALL of the LTH's off of the wall and put them on the table (lame!) to make it look like they had gotten more than they did. I stopped in at the same TRU last night and all of those LTH's were on the wall...

Dragon's Peak will be sold this Sunday, probably the same way with tickets as there might be more people since it's a weekend. Also, TRU drone told me that he is pretty sure that DP will be in the Sunday flyer for $19.99 (or all 3-packs/adv packs will be $19.99 and it will be included).

-VM

So new ones are coming out soon? but when? I NEED DRAGON'S PEAK !!!!!! oh, and cynder

Thanks, and thanks for keeping me in mind.

I've been calling around all day, trying to find my son and daughter's Zooks and Lightning Rods. With someone helping me get the new triple pack, I am just in need of a single pack Ignitor.

Isn't it a little odd that you personally bought 3 of each figure for yourself, and none for your kids?

Here at the local TRU in central CA, I showed up at 10am when they opened. No line and not anyone in the parking lot. I walked over to the video game area and the store hadn't put the new shipment on the shelves yet. A few more people showed up so we were all waiting for the worker to open the boxes. 10 minutes later, the worker brought a cart full of boxes. She started opening them all and they were mostly Dragons Peak. I would say they had around 40-60 of them. After everyone waiting got Dragons Peak, we all waited to see if any of the other new ones were in the shipment. The local TRU here didn't receive Zook or Lightning Rod. I was the first to checkout so of course, DP wouldn't scan and the manager came and said they couldn't sell them until Sunday. All the DP's were removed from the shelves. The manager was really nice so everyone in the store was able to put their DP in a bag with their name on it to pick up on Sunday. There was no limit either so I'll have 4 DP's waiting for me on Sunday.

GM, I will check for ignitors, but I am pretty sure after I left, the scalpers hung around and cleaned out the rest of what was left that had rarity...so...yeah...I didn't have the time to sit and go for a second go round for more.

I arrived at 9:10. I was first in line, but there were 3-4 moms in their cars staying warm. I would say when I got in they had 50 or so of the Zook, Ignitor, Lightning Rods. The line had 20-25 people in it by store opening and they didn't do tickets, they just didn't allow more than 5 at a time, and I was told I couldn't go back in for a half hour, that they wouldn't ring me up until everyone had gotten their 5. I wasn't gonna be a jerk about it, so I called it good.

That was my experience. My store seems to have a good rep for getting them it seems. I've seen the legendary TH multiple times there. Also, they didn't even have the DP out. And no Triple Packs of the new ones. I would assume those will surface on Sunday. Here's hoping to get that and DP to complete my collection!

Good Luck and glad to help!

- 7 Dragon's Peaks (2 to open, 1 to hang on wall, 2 to my kids, and I bought two for my sons friends for being nice to help me).

How did they let you buy Dragon's Peak then if it was going to be released Sunday? I was wondering if someone could help me find a dragon's Peak for me. I would greatly aprrechiate it.

Kansas city mo.
they had new figures. but they had a limit of ONE figure per person. they gave out tickets. and somehow i even found an extra ticket on the floor, but i gave it to the manager because i thought i would do something good. she was still a ***** to me. then, after all the zooks where gone, she said oh "my district manager says you can buy two now" so i got lightning rod. i REALLY wanted lightning rod and zook. everybody at the toys r us was alll rude, and this one lady had like 5, breaking all the rules and crap, but no, i was a gentleman, and i got lightning rod. IF I HAD JUST BEEN A JERK LIKE EVERYONE ELSE ID HAVE ZOOK AND LIGHTNING ROD BUT NO I AM CIVILIZED blah,

Nice, sounds pretty good. shame you have to wait until sunday, but at least you reserved them. I'm in the uk and haven't been able to find much in stores, so I ordered stump smash, empire of ice, lightning/cynder/zook and dragon's peak from amazon. I got the whirlwind/double trouble/drill sergeant pack 2 or 3 weeks ago from amazon, yet it still says it hasn't been released :/ weird. but the main thing is that i got it, so i'm happy

Angel, just go on Sunday. There will be about 30-35 per store I have read so far. Most stores held them. How GM pulled 7 is beyond me. His store must have had an override on the code for it. It's not supposed to hit street till the 25th and shouldn't have been sold to him, but he has them. So just come back on Sunday and you'll get it. In a month anyways they'll get em again at every store. The Skylander scalping will taper off soon enough...so don't overpay...they'll be in stock eventually

Not really, because they got Dragon's Peak today. I even bought my son's two friends Dragon's Peak as well.

Now, had I not been able to get Dragon's Peak, then I would have split my Zooks and Lightning Rods.

I will keep an eye out for ya, Angel. Right after everyone checked out for DP, they saw the email where they were supposed to hold them and pulled what was left on the shelves.

Thanks again, Xero.

if you have everybody you know go with you, you can get as many tickets as you have people. so when your group of 13 people, you get to get 13 things. but when you are a single alone person, you cant even get 2 because only limit 1 per person. im so bitter about not getting zook.

I will keep an eye out for you as well, Exo.

I was just wondering about everyone's event today : when the store
Opened how many people were in line and when did the first person arrive ?

I'm in Newport news Virginia... I arrived at 8:45 and 7 people were in front of me.. First 2 got there at 7:30 and by the time they opened there were 60 people in line

Wow, I must have saw you there. I went to the same store. I got there around 9am. There were about 20 people in line by then.
