anything in CA?

I still haven't found anything in OK. I want to get one before they run out...

Nothing in Mount Airy NC area wished I could find just one bag

Won 2. Kroger had the bags. Michigan.

anything in CA?

My post #205 was referring to California.

According to my friend that works there, said that she spoke with the vendor and he said they should be in California this week.
This could be a long week to hold my breath.

Located in Moorpark CA last Thursday. Had 8 bags. I only bought 2.
Winners with both codes

HAS ANYBODY SEEN ANY IN WALMART?

Still no sightings in NYC

It's on my to do list to find some bags this week.

Currently nothing but Dracula bags in my area.

Picked up another bag and won today. Two down, two to go.

Has anybody gotten emailed codes yet?

I sent mine a day after the competition launched and still nothing v.v also no bags here. only sidekicks and those lame Dracula/Frankenstein ones

Notice Walmart out in Orlando and some other areas are getting low in stock on all those bags. Maybe they are holding them closer to the release date? That'd be weird. I'm not even telling my boys about this till I have a confirmed winner.

Any coupons inside the bag, similar to the sidekicks promotion? A few $1 off of a new figure will be useful soon.

The only coupon is $10 off a starter.

Well, I am here to say that, yes, it's true... you CAN lose.
I bought another one today (only the second one I've come across), and it was a losing code.
Oh well, at least the kids have some chips to take in their lunches, I guess?

*DUN DUN DUN*

I hope it is not all loosing now, as I still have not been able to find a bag yet.

Got off the phone with customer service. Most people should have the code by the end of this week.

And the rep sent me a code! Yay!

Thanks for the clarification matteomax

Oooh...great info. Thx

Looks like the winning streak is over. Just entered a code and came up a loser. I have 3 more bags to try. I think I'll wait until I hear that they start paying off again.

Greeaaatttt! Just when I'm guaranteed to have a code in a day.

COME ON!

The sidekick promotion is over so that code is worthless.

I have nothing to base this on except logic. I am guessing that early on in the promotion very few people were submitting codes because the bags were scarce. Since not a lot of codes were submitted, some 15 minute windows had no winners. All of those non winners were put in a bank and slowly used up by people who submitted codes when someone else had already won in a particular 15 minute window. Now that the bags are becoming more common, the extra winners have dried up, so now you have to get lucky. Today is day 16 of the promotion, so there have been approximately 1500 winners. With 40 days still to go, there is hope for anyone not lucky enough to find the bags yet. The odds of winning were greatest at the beginning and maybe the odds will improve again at the very end.

There are plenty where live, just no Pumpkin FR, yet.

This is so frustrating! I had no problem getting the sidekick bags. I was actually able to get 3 people on here a set plus my own. With this promotion I haven't seen any bags. My fear is that I am going to miss the boat. I have mailed in 12 different cards from various family members but no email yet. Fright Rider is one of my favorite characters and I hope I get one of these figures the "natural" way. The $41 Flocked Stump Smash I just bought is still stinging.

I called Frito-Lay. I sent in my 3x5 cards last week on Tuesday. They are still not in the Frito-Lay system. So, who knows when ill get my codes. Still no bags of chips in NYC area.

One of the menu options is a list of prizes. They indicate there are 5376 Fright Riders to give away.

What is the customer service number?

I actually just called as well and mine aren't even in the system yet and I sent mine in two weeks ago. The lady did say that it takes 4-6 weeks for the cards to be accepted into their system and the codes emailed. I'm hoping I receive all 10 of my codes this week! (I wanted to guarantee a win so I sent in 10, once I win I'll give the rest of the codes away )

Halloween cheetos bags, dracula bags and normal bags, but no orange Fright Rider in NC.

Took forever, but I finally scored a bag for my son. We got really lucky as we got two cards in the same bag and both were winners!

I cant find these bags anywhere!.....ridiculous! Whats the point in running a promotion like this if the bags aren't distributed in a widespread and evenly manner!!!. These Frito Lay promotions are really starting to p*#@ me off.

Yep, haven't seen any around here either. I haven't really been hunting, but I do go by the chip section when I go to the grocery store and haven't seen anything other than their standard bags. And I know inventory is rotating, because they are selling them frequently.

Has there been a photo yet of what this Pumpkin Fright Rider looks like?

Not just the artwork.

I can't believe someone thought it was a good idea to launch a promotion with a game as huge as Skylanders and also thought it was ok to launch the Halloween bags concurrently. Heck, why not just have the Skylanders thing on the back and the regular halloween designs on the front.

Still haven't seen them up here in NE Ohio anywhere. I'll keep checking..may have to just send in for a code.

You're not alone as I sent in 20 code requests myself. When it wasn't an auto win I wanted to be sure.

But, are the codes not tied to the individual? I was nervous about giving out extras for fear they were somehow generated by your e-mail and home address. Am I over thinking it?

No, unforchantly there has been no release photo's of the figure...yet.

As soon as someone gets their prize in the mail I'm sure there will be photos. Keep in mind that after the giantkicks promo hit it did not take the full 8-10 weeks for them to arrive for those that captured the promo bags early, I found my bags a week and a half after the promo launch and still got my figures only three weeks later. I expect that photos will show up in the next week or two.

Spotted 7 bags of Classic Mix and 4 bags of the other mix in Moorpark CA.
Sadly, my one bag was not a winner. Tempted to try again, but it seems the odds of winning have dwindled per the other posts on this thread.

Still not found any...looks like it's going to need harder hunting or eBay. I'm not that enthusiastic since we don't know what it looks like.

Been going to a few Walmarts to grab the 11.24 cases. Since I want to use the best possible time on my trip I always check for these bags.

I'm thinking the Orlando FL and other central Florida Walmart stores are holding onto these bags for Sunday. It is somewhat uncommon to see multiple stores not restocking, especially when shelves are starting to go bare. Wager I walk in at midnight to find a few middle row displays, one near the skyalnders and the snack aisle packed again.

Has anyone in Florida seen them? I've searched about a dozen wal marts from Orlando to miami

Codes should be due by now. They're having some sort of issue.

Ive found zero bags in fl.

Not in the Ormond Beach Palm Coast area yet either. Called Frito Lay distribution warehouse in Daytona Beach and the shipping manager said they haven't seen any bags like that yet. Called Frito Lay Fright Rider hotline and lady kept saying they should be out in our area soon but she doesn't know when, then she kept saying "I'd definitely wait for that code to come in the Email" every time I pressed her about figures being all gone by the time Florida gets them. Don't know if I'm reading too much into it, or if they want to make sure some of the Emailed codes are winners so they are reserving a set amount of figures for people who mailed in 3X5's.

Has anyone in VA seen these bags. I've been looking since the first post on here and haven't found any bags at target, walmart or food lion.
