Just got stink bomb from eb games on sportsworld drive. It was the last wave 3 swapper they had. They had several lc whamshell and countdown. The clerk said they got one box of swappers in and they were gone in 20 minutes. No battle pack or adventure pack.

Went to EBgames in Vernon BC today and they had 2 Rubble rouser, 2 Spy Rise, 3 LC Wham's, 2 LC Countdowns, and 1 Stink Bomb.
I snagged Stink Bomb, Rubble Rouser, and LC Wham. Don't need another countdown and already have Wash buckler for climbing. |

Got my 3 swappers last night at EB Games in Shopper's World, Brampton! Nothing new at the Toys R' Us though.

Jklander,
Please keep me updated on some of the locations you frequent in Kitchener. I am in the Stratford area and we get nothing. I am after the 3 new swappers. Thanks |

The Lightcores and swappers from wave3 are at EB but no sign of the regular wave 3 cores or the battle/adventure packs. Not in my area anyways. |

I've had the most luck getting figures at ebgames for this game, other than the wave 3 corelanders that I got at tru on release day. I did break down and order arkeyan crossbow and sheep wreck island from amazon.de, shipping wasn't that bad and it beats driving around all day only to be disappointed. Walmart and target have been busts here in Kitchener so far... I will check bestbuy tomorrow to see if they get the new sprocket variant.

Middle of nowhere Alberta, got the 3 swappers and 2 LCs at Eb games. They got 2 of spy rise and Rubble rouser and only 1 Stink bomb. Maybe 3 or 4 each of the LCs. Still no core landers. Also I don't think my walmart has seen a shipment since before Christmas, all they have is 5 zoo lou, a Slobber tooth and a triple pack that has Spyro in it. Very
sad really. -Tweak. |

I've had no luck with Wave 3 Swappers in Kitchener area. I called 3 Kitchener EBgames on Friday night and only the one that jklander got Stink Bomb at had even seen any so far but didn't have any at the time. I checked Cambridge Centre Target (bare) and EBgames (2 new lightcores). And then even checked a Walmart and EBgames in Guelph on Saturday when I was in the area. Nothing! Hope they get some soon! lol

Downtown Toronto Eaton Centre Ebgames - they only have duo packs of Fire Kraken/Grilla Drilla.
Ebgames across the Eaton Centre - they have a couple lightcore Wham Shell and 3 lightcore Countdown. I wouldn't bother with BB or FS downtown. From my experience, they only stock their shelves with Skylanders before Christmas. After, it's empty of Skylanders. |

I asked my local Eb Games here in Canada if they are doing a Skylanders Day like the ones that Gamestop are doing in the US and the employee said they might do the event this Saturday, i hope so i can get some Slylanders Giants Sidekicks. Also fellow canadians can you ask your local Eb Games about it, more info will be awesome.

'Skylanders Day' for Canada confirmed via the latest EB e-mail newsletter.
HOWEVER - no mention of Giantkicks yet. The first 25 Skylanders customers will get a free poster (generic group shot with the logo). There is also a 'Stay Tuned For Special Offers' in big letters at the bottom, so we might still get our Giantkicks yet.

I spoke with a clerk in the Milton Mall location - her take is they won't have any info on deals until Fri, to prevent leaks. She is expecting a new shipment of toys to go with the Sat promotion, but no info on assortment. I'll post any additional e-mail flyers EB may send out.

Let's hope there is something more than a poster and $10-20 off the starter pack. Wouldn't be enough for me to bother coming in if that's the case.

#286 Posted: 19:33:00 17/01/2014
Just called my local eb games. They confirmed tomorrow is skylanders day and they have posters. They were not sure what else was happening. I asked about sidekicks and she said they have some but when I questioned her more about if they were for sale or part of the day or what she was confused so who knows if they even have any lol. Guess I'll be camping outside their door tomorrow at 10am to be first one in the store. The bad part for me is I have all of the wave 3 swappers and LCs and as far as I know there isn't any cores or battle/Adventure packs yet so if I have to buy skylanders to get the sidekicks guess I'm getting some doubles. Fingers crossed maybe they will have some wave 3 cores there so I dont have to.

Called most of the ebgames around Edmonton. They all pretty much said the same thing. "We got the posters. Unfortunately we didn't get any sidekicks for tomorrow. Any deals or price changes will be done in the morning upon email notification from head office." They also said to keep checking the website.
On another note every ebgames employee I talked to was very friendly and helpful. Nice score Krush_Hour!!!!! |

I wonder why the delay on the cores? Seems to be backwards.
All EB Games I called said only sales on starter packs tomorrow. Only one said character packs would be on sale. So I'd rather keep it safe and just get the new multipacks tonight and skip out on tomorrow. Better to be safe than sorry. |

#291 Posted: 23:35:31 17/01/2014
I talked to two eb's tonight. First one kept confusing posters and sidekicks and was basically just pull it smoke out of his butt. The second one hadnt even heard of skylander day. So she pulled up the email and we read it together. There was absolutely NO information regarding sidekicks. Sadly I'm taking this as us not getting them hopefully we will in the future

Asked the clerk at the other EB Games in Milton. Their store has not received any sidekicks. They have a discount on character 3-packs (not Adventure or Battle Packs) and the starter pack, plus the poster giveaway. I saw both the new sheep-wreck and crossbow pack. Grabbed sheep-wreck to be safe. I'm planning on checking out another EB tomorrow in case some locations got sidekicks and some didn't, but I'm not optimistic we're getting them.

Just came back for ToysRus in Hamilton and I was able to purchase the last crossbow pack from there; they did however have a full stock of wave 2 stuff. Also stopped at EB Games on Upper James and they had Crossbow and Sheep Wreck Island when I left there; the guy there had no idea about Skylander Day tomorrow, so I'm not too sure what is happening with that.

Just bought Sheep Wreck Island at my local eb games here in Surrey BC, Canada. They only had 6 in stocks so better hurry and get yours. Also they only have couple of the new battle pack. I also ask the clerk about the Skylanders Day tomorrow and she told me first 25 people in line gets an exclusive poster and with a purchase of any skylanders figures gets a free sidekick and its only 1 per customer. If she didn't say 1 per customer i was gonna buy 4 figures so i can get all 4 sidekicks lol.

Just picked up SWI and Arkeyan Crossbow battle pack at EB Games at Leslie and Elgin Mills in Richmond Hill. They had more and they are all on sale for $19.99 today. They also had one Nitro Magna Charge/Free Ranger double pack. Apparently they were able to buy a few from Target.

Our location also had the new battle pack and adventure packs. Being the only Wave 3 stuff we needed, was even better at $19.99 each!
No sidekicks though, but most GameStop locations still have some so I'll take a trip across the border.
