I'm in British Columbia, and yesterday (January 19th) The EBGames at lougheed mall had some Empire of Ice, but in the 20 minutes it took me to get there, they were gone. >:/ However today (January 20th) all of the Toys R Us I called had gotten new stock of Skylanders, and I just happened to call the one close by to us right as they were opening their box of them. As a result, I was able to get this. They only got one, and the guy was nice enough to hold on to it for me until I got there to pick it up.
Forgive my cocky expression.
I didn't have any of these characters, and as it seems none of the other Toys R Us got any wave 3 stuff, I was extremely lucky. Though for what it's worth, Toys R Us in B.C, in the areas connected by Skytrain (last time I called around) have plenty of singles of wave one stuff, and I think one store had a handful of Chop Chop. The location I got my 3 pack at, (the one on King Edward st near the Super Store. Short bus trip from the Braid Skytrain station) had LOTS of singles, and two pegs full of single Sonic Boom. Probably had about 8 or 10 of Sonic Boom there. Also had singles of Stump Smash, Drobot, and a few others. The largest selection I've seen since about November.
No sign of Cynder anywhere.

I live in Ottawa Ontario and I preorder my empire of ice on tuesday at the ebgames in bayshore shopping center. They said it would come in thursday or friday and I got a call yesterday and went and picked it up. It was the only one left they said they got a mix of wave 1,2, and 3 but only a small number and they sold out in a couple hours.

Sorry for posting so late, but on January 19th, the whirlwind triple pack was released as well as the Empire of Ice Expansion, but no sign of Cynder. People are speculating that she was sent to the States and will not be in Canada till next week. Unconfirmed though.
Nothing was probably seen as the ebgames that had them had their shipment in and I caught it at the right time. It's all hit and miss. TRU had a shipment of wave 1 and 2 but was gone in less than a couple hours. Edmonton, AB

My friend has recently gotten in to Skylanders, so I've been on the hunt for any of them, seeing as how she only has the starter packs. (She bought the Wii and 3DS game together) Today at a Wal-Mart I found these ones.
They had four Wrecking Ball, four Boomer, and two Hex. Hex is really hard to find in B.C right now, so I got pretty lucky. In general, I've been incredibly lucky finding Skylanders.

Tell me about it. We arent that far from the states. You would think they would have been here by now. I think something happened with canadians wave 3 shippment. Or they are making sure they are everywhere in the states first then we might be next. At least that's how it's looking like

An EBgames near me got a handful of Skylanders. When I called they had singles of Prism Break, Stump Smash, Drobot, Sonic Boom, and VooDood. They said they could only hold one figure per customer and only for an hour, so I asked for Stump Smash. I got there just in time, and when I asked if any of the others were still there, she said they sold out pretty much right after I called. The cashier and I talked for a bit after I got it since nobody else was in the store. She gave me some advice by saying that all of the EBGames in Whiterock B.C (pretty close to the boarder) have lots of Skylanders since those stores get very few customers to begin with. So if you're in B.C and have time to kill, check those stores out for Skylanders.
She also said that at her store (the one I went to get Stump Smash at) they get people camping outside the store in the mall long before opening, and even though they don't open their shipment until 11 or 12, those same people stay there the whole time to make sure they get some. It's quite remarkable the lengths people will go to. I tend to just check Wal-Mart whenever I happen to be there, and I call various EBGames and Toys R Us every couple of days early in the day. I don't think I'd bother waiting in front of the store for that long. I'm starting to think that it was a complete accident that I even managed to get the Whirlwind/Double Trouble/Drill Sergeant pack. As if they weren't SUPPOSED to get any, but they got one anyways, and I just happened to snag it.

Thank you!! Saw this and went to 2 Walmarts. First one said I was too late. (Whitby, ON) They had gotten their first shipment in a long while and sold out within half an hour. He did say they are expecting a huge shipment in the next couple of weeks. He said it would be like hundreds of them. My son begged me to try another Walmart so we went to the North Oshawa location. Finally some success! This guy had just like 10 minutes ago put out a box of the adventure packs. 2 Slam Bam, 2 Pirate Sea, and 2 Darklight Crypt. I picked up one of each and left behind one of each of them. I though about grabbing the other Slam Bam for my son's friend. But then thought better of it and left him. Also, came home and our Cynder was in the mail from the Amazon pre-order. |

WHOHOOOO LOOK WHAT I JUST PICKED UP AT WALMART NORTH OSHAWA.
Thanks SOOOO much again Gold guardian. The other wave 3's should be hitting stores around ontario if EOI is here finally. The worst thing is. Had gold guardian not notified me i would never have known. When i called walmart and asked if there was any EOI's he said they still only have starter packs nothing else has come in.I said What but i know someone who got one from there.Tthen gave the phone to another worker and he went and checked for me and said there's 1 left. So this forum is a very very useful tool for finding skylanders.I would have just hung up the phone and never had prolonged the conversation or asked the guy to check. So FYI if you call a store particularly walmart try and get them to check for you. |

Someone on Red Flag Deals posted that Costco (Ajax, ON) had a bunch in as of noon today. All the triple packs and all the Adventure packs. Triple packs were gone by the time my husband stopped in after work. They had some Pirate Seas and Darklight Crypt left. I'm still hunting for the Whirwind, Double Trouble, Drill Sarg pack. And the Legendary pack I guess, and then we're done for now.

The EBgames closest to me had two Darklight Crypt Adventure Packs. I picked up one of them, and left the other for someone else. It was a nightmare of a trip too. Took transit in the pouring stinking rain, and I got completely drenched. I tell you, it made me very unenthusiastic about Skylander collecting for an hour or so. If I had gotten there and they had both been sold, that would have been the end of Skylanders for me. I miss November when I was able to buy any Skylander I dang well wanted, whenever I wanted. -___-
