When I picked up my PS3 starter kit, I opted to get Drobot instead of Sonic Boom when I was getting an extra figure to go along with it. Now my Best Buy (where I work in Gaming ) is out of her, and TRU is out of stock in all my local stores, and Sonic Boom is the ONLY figure on their site out of stock for shipping. Apparently she's unexpectedly popular and they didn't make enough of her. Anyone else having this problem or am I going crazy? D:

Oh yes!
I went to Best Buy and Target the other day, I couldn't find Sonic Boom anywhere, and my Dad didn't want to go to other stores.

She's really popular...

Pretty much every Skylander figure where I live is popular - Most stores have sold out of nearly all of them D:

Should've gone with my instinct and gotten her in the first place. To Amazon!

When I went to GAME the other day to get some figures they had multiple versions of everything... Except Sonic Boom, they had one left which was the one I got and the packaging was battered and broken so I can understand why it was the last one.

I guess she's just a very popular character, and too be fair if you look at it from a game play view she's one of the best characters because she's so overpowered.

Oooooh Sonic Boom, such a bad mom throwing all her babies at monsters!

What Sonic Boom would you guys prefer? Guile's attack or the song from Sonic CD?

This is why I pre-ordered Sonic Boom along with the game.

What do you expect? People love birds that abuse their children by throwing them at people.

She's been in full stock in the warehouse ever since it come out but then again almost all of them are

Not suprised, she's the best character I have! I use her all the time. She's bloody INSANE when you max her up.

lol i found sonic boom the first day i got the game but i am still struggling to find whirldwind.

I suggest taking a look in Elkjøp. That's where I found them.

But yeah, from what I've seen in stores here, Sonic Boom seems to sell out rather quickly compared to many of the other Skylanders. Her and Zap are the ones that are hardest to find over here these days - probably because the others (except for Whirlwind and Drill Sergeant, of course) can all be bought in starter/triple/adventure packs.

I'm not surprised, really; kids want the characters that look the best, fight the best, and characters that are of an element they don't already own (Drobot and Zap probably lose sales where this is concerned). Sonic Boom just about qualifies for all of these, so...

I have Whirldwind. She was easy for me to find.
Sonic Boom, though... haven't found her yet.

Hmm I've seen Sonic Boom everywhere so far...maybe I'll buy her next!

I don't know if there is a shortage, but I bet there will be now after everyone reads this..LOL

I just got back from a Best Buy that only had one on the shelf, so I grabbed it!

you are my new best friend.

Did you try a GameStop or Toys 'R Us store? I got Sonic Boom from GameStop but saw her at Toys 'R Us.

I bought the only Sonic Boom I've seen at launch. Zap seems pretty uncommon as well.

zap aint that uncommon here.

New here. Anyhow, Sonic Boom comes one to a box of single packs. This is in the US at least. I don't recall how many singles come in a carton of single packs, but if there are more than one of every character, there is only one Sonic Boom. That's why he is a bit harder to find.

There are loads of toys that only have individual packs... Sonic Boom is probably the hardest tp find because when it comes to buying them, a handful of people will find that there are only a few left because she's one of the most popular characters. It's just coincidence.

I got the last one of her in Toys R Us

In a different Toys R Us they only had 1 of her and they had 0 in Tesco.

The latter.

I found Zap and Sonic Boom at the Warehouse here...

Edit: I got her today, and if you can get your hands on her, I would definitly recommend her.

^ This, I got her the other day. She's one of my favorites.

From looking at the stores shelves it seems boomer is the least popular. Stealth elf is definitely popular though.

So, all the female characters are popular?

I got Stealth Elf from a tech. store called Frys the other day. One of the last ones, really. o:

Of course You rarely see any main characters in video games that are strong, independant females with kick-ass powers.

I finally got drill sergeant. 3 walmarts in my area dont even have skylanders individual characters and my SAMs club didn't have anything related to skylanders. Finally had to drive out of my area to get the last drill sergeant that the store had. That was my hardest find yet.

lol my store has a bunchload of them.

It took me until today to find one and I've been looking since the day the game came out.

I even went and bought a SAMs Club membership in search of it to no avail.

Not surprised- what were they thinking when they designed Boomer? He's not the prettiest of Skylanders, nor does he have anything going for him in terms of gameplay.

>:/ Boomer rocks.

Lol, he is actually one of my faves, if only for his voice and personality. For me though, I can't even find them in stock to compare (aside from Whirlwind of course).
