We got a HUGE shipment of EVERYTHING today. Legendary packs, EOI. No crowd for them either because this shipment was a surprise.

Was able to finally help the customers at my store without them selling out in 10 minutes.

We did not receive Legendary Trigger Happy or any of Wave 4, but we just got stocked a BUNCH on everything else.

By the time my shift was over we had no Legendary packs left. Not one scalper though. Most people got 1 or 2 packs, one lady bought like...14 though...all different characters.

Were r u. Canada? And is it legendary T.H. too?

My TRU did too! They had 6 legendary packs, 2 Whirlwind/Double Trouble/Drill Sergeant triple packs and some wave 3 and 2 single packs. I managed to pick up a legendary pack. Sadly, no Legendary Trigger Happy. :/

EDIT: WOW!!!!!! YOU TRU GOT A HUGE SHIPMENT!!!!!

Picture don't work

EDIT:Thanks

Fixed picture.

This shipment was unexpected, I was packing them out as soon as I got in.

My store is in New York.

So jealous!!! What part of NY? I'm in Queens.

Vendetta, since you have all the skylanders so far released, which skylanders are your favorite for each element.

hot diggity DAYUM
i haven't seen shelves like that since november of last year
ah, the good old days.
time to call my local TRU and see if they got the same

Ahhh... I remember when my stores were like that...
in October.

My TRU apparently got a shipment yesterday morning. (Columbia, MD) Sold out within thirty minutes of the doors opening.

*grumbles*

Unlikely to get another shipment until Tuesday or Wednesday.

I wish all skypander shelves were like that.

Yeah, me too. I really want to see something like that in any store of my Country, but it's so freaking difficult to find some Skylanders in my store, I just see some Skylanders from the 1st Wave, I mean, I didn't see anything in real life about the 2nd or 3rd wave ;(

I found a Cynder at target today,but food for the poor except of getting her.

This makes me very happy. Honest to all that is holy, these things should be abundant. Plain and simple. It's almost cruel how supply hasn't met demand so far.

I have children clamoring for these toys and I want to provide them but not to the extent that I would make even one scalper glad he raced to a store at opening to deprive a family that wants these for even one figure.

I hope all the scalper eat their stock it would serve them right.

that is awesome let us now when it empties because im sure you will have a lot of happy families

I hope families who actually want them will get them.
I mean, that kind of stocked place is a scalper's dream.

and subsequently nightmare. if the aftermarket is flooded with stock, you'll see a lot of auctions ending with 0 bids. heh.

Better hope all the stores are stocked like that then.

Yesterday my shopping place got a MASSIVE shipment! I managed to get a Cynder, Double Trouble Drill Sergeant and Darklight Crypt! I think this is the first time Australia has ever had Cynder and Double Trouble! Boy am I lucky

Cool! I went on a trip to Toys R Us yesterday to see if they'd had any shipments in but all they had was a ton of Eruptors and some starter packs for the Wii and Xbox. Then we stopped off at GAME and they confirmed they had no Skylanders in stock after a delivery for this week did not come through, and they would be getting a shipment next week. The attendant also said 'nowhere had any Skylanders any more'. Lastly, we spurred on towards Argos and... nothing. But then again, that's the UK for you.

thats sooooo weird because my k mart got restocked with all of wave 3 aswell

My target got restocked with Skylanders yesterday.

I"m sorry,
But I say Target can go fall off a cliff in my area.
I've NEVER seen any skylanders at the stores.

You just are lucky.

I'm on the south shore of Nassau county. Perhaps you and I can look out for one another. I warn you though my brick and mortar shopping has been severely curtailed since I've been having far greater luck online.

yeah i feel you. i went to Cracker Barrel on Thursday in CT, and hit up a TRU that was right down the road. got there as they were putting out about 20 cases of 3-packs. They had about 15 Legendary packs, The Pirate 3-pack, Ice 3-Pack, ect ect. and a TON of singles. No rares though, and i was the first one to pick through. While i was on line paying, about 4-5 others came and were buying up the Legendary packs. I picked one of those up, along with the Ice 3-pack, but returned it as I had buyers remorse....now i regret returning it =(

You guys are lucky were I live all you find is wave 2 and zap it's hard to find guys like Voodood or bash
But I got a cynder so I shouldn't be mad :/

The TRU in my city is ALWAYS stocked for whatever reason. I managed to get myself a New in box Set of the Legendaries the other day. Now I'm just waiting for Legendary Trigger happy.

TRU seems to be the only reliable source for these things anymore lol.

I have had no trouble finding any of the skylanders in the U.S. I have bought all of mine from the store. If you have the time and money they are easy to grab. You just have to make alot of phone calls and be there when they put out the stock. Now that Im buying doubles to keep in the pack Im having a hard time. I should have bought them when I had the chance. The only thing I got off ebay was a 2nd cynder for 20$ a metallic cynder and 2 legendary trigger happys bc i dont know when the U.S will get them and Im inpatient lol.

I have nevr seen any toys r us like that. I only get them at EB games becaus ethat where i can find them. Its to bad the legendarys are only for toys r us.

Uhhh. Lucky. I need the legendary pack. I got double trouble and drill sergeant yesterday.

I called my TRU the other day and they didn't have any legendaries. The guy said they had those last month, so I'm guessing they haven't gotten a shipment of them in yet.

Finally got Legendary Pack! Called TRU today and they had 3 left. I asked them to hold it when I got there it was the last one. I'm happy I got one.

does TRU do holds often?
i might get them to hold that dragon's peak pack if they actually get it on Tuesday..

Yes, they do. At first I asked them to hold it till Thursday, but the lady said that's too long and I can only pick it up today, but since I'm a kid, I asked my aunt to help me since she lives nearby me. Good luck on getting Dragon's Peak.

Probably have to get there when they open. That's what I had to do. They were gone shortly after the doors opened.

FINALLY!!!

Ok guys, big update. It's now Monday and we actually have some left on the shelf. We held back some Legendary packs for the week so we stocked the shelves with those and some singles. There are a few Darklight Crypts left too.

Also, GET THIS!

Saturday morning, some guy returned $636(!!!) worth of figures to us.Dude had bought 3 of pretty much everything like 3 weeks ago. Had a bonus replenishment thanks to that guy. Most of them were rebought within the day by kids with their parents. No scalpers.

WOW! thats alot of skylanders. Iys nice to know that they went to people who actually wanted them as a toy.

THIS is very exciting news. I mean it's all well and good that shipments are coming in and people are finally getting their long awaited for figures, but it's fantastic that the scalpers of this world are smelling defeat and returning their "inventory" in essence getting out of the game.

*throws a party*

We are receiving ANOTHER truck tomorrow, with Skylanders most likely on them. Which means we can start filling the shelves and having a constant stream of them.

I called TRU today. I asked which ones they have. She said they had a variety. Just to let you know employee, **** you. Lazy butt.
