I have yet to see one of these around, and the board seems to be completely flooded with people posting about finding/buying skylander figures....so maybe we could keep it all in 1 thread and it can get a sticky? This should help prevent some of the clutter on the boards and what not

If posting, post who you found, where you found it, and location (if you purchased online, or in a store)

Example

Hey guys, I just had a little bit of luck! Wound up going to a Gamestop in Brentwood, NY and bought the LAST skylander figure they had available. I called a ton of local shops, nobody had any in. The girl that answered said they had 1 figure left, and i asked to hold. Took a 30 minute drive with my daughter out there, without knowing which figure it was, and to my surprise, it was a Whirlwind! Its great since I didnt have this one yet, or any of that element, and this was the last element that I needed to have at least 1 from each!

Just got drill sergeant and double trouble

This is a good idea. Dark52 should sticky this.

I said that in the last cynder at target topic.

Just got the Double Trouble triple pack. I'm in the UK though so it cost me £51 from eBay.

You did? Well I never noticed.

I didn't get anything today, but yesterday I found Prism Break in Walmart, Whirlwind and Cynder in Gamestop, and I ordered Drill Sergent and Double Trouble from Amazon. It was a good day. I'll be hunting again on Thursday when I'm in a different city.

I ordered the Empire of Ice pack on Toys R Us
I now await for an email to notify me upon it on it's way in stock

@Cinnamonster - Nice week you had! I'm waiting on my Stump Smash 3-pack to come in from TRU.com

@DantheDragonBoy - I want that pack so badly. I was out of state, and came across it at the same TRU that i got my Legendary 3 pack from on Thursday. I bought it, but by the time i got to the car, i had buyers remorse and returned it....and half way home, I was kicking myself for doing so!

Metspride129 - I did the same with Drill Sargent and Whirlwind... I'm classic hoarder and I'm trying to control myself lol.. When I first started I was all like I'm only going to get 1 of each element and no adventure packs...

I bought Empire of Ice, Triple Pack F and Cynder two weeks ago. Pack F arrived on Friday and Cynder on Saturday

As soon as my Slam Bam arrives I will post some pics

I got Wrecking Ball some time ago, and got both Cynder and Whirlwind in GameStop today.

I posted a topic about that because those two are VERY RARE, and I was so freakin' lucky because the shipment just came in today. There where tons in the box. o:

i couldnt buy anything today because all the stores were sold out

seems like a common theme =(

Just bought Prism Break!

Had a good night last night - I was able to order both Pirate Seas and Empire of Ice from Amazon! Also got shipping confirmation today for Darklight Crypt, which I'd ordered late last week.

I also got shipping confirmation for the Stump Smash/Flameslinger/Drobot 3-pack I ordered from Toys R Us early last week... boy, do they seem to take a while to ship! I think I'll stick to Amazon when I can. Seems like TRU is capitalizing on demand with their pricing, too.

I got Legendary 3 pack yesterday!

I called yesterday at like 4 and they said they had 3 left. I asked the lady to hold it, then I asked my aunt to get it for me.

No.

Let me just say:
Scalpers and little children are EVERYWHERE here, and I can't go to the store that often. You do the math.

NEVER ANY THERE UNTIL TODAY.

I ordered a bash triple a month ago, and on saturday I got an email saying it had been posted. I'm so excited, and I know it's old but it's one of the only wave 1 packs I need. It should come this week, fingers crossed.

They arrived!

The last Skylanders I bought were Bash and Chop Chop from Tesco last week.

Isn't it possible his grandparents and/or aunts and uncles got him presents, too? And if his parents have good paying jobs, $100 on a birthday isn't an outrageous amount.

You said they were very rare in general. If you are talking about it is rare in your area state that inside your sentence.

Hello, I'm new to this game and stumbled across this forum while searching about Skylander shortages.

I picked up the PS3 version of the game, two weeks ago, because I was trying to find a way to spend a little more quality time with my daughters (6 and 5) who have been cooped up in the house a lot due the birth of my son.

I was annoyed by the lack of additional figures in stores, but just kept my patience.

A couple days ago I went to a local Toys R Us with the intention of getting the DS Starter Pack, since I could find no other way to get new characters outside of Ebay, and was happy to find an employee putting up a stock of figures as I entered.

I picked up the Legenday 3-pack, Eruptor and Hex, but passed on the DS version for the time being. My girls were very happy when I got home!

Nice find on the legendary pack. You'll enjoy playing the game with your kids. It's nice to find a game that isn't complicated, but still has nice graphics and cool features. I play it with my 7-year old quite a bit.

Last week I got Prism Break and Drobot, they're awesome!!

@Himewad - Yes, both daughters adore this game. Now that we have some extra Skylanders, they don't have issues with the first couple Kaos fights.

Ha! I remember our first Kaos battle. We actually had quite a few figures (about 12 I think), but we were so inexperienced at playing that we got down to our last figure before we finally beat it. We were a little too aggressive going after the minions, and the doomsharks destroyed us.

Going back and doing that level again, I have no idea how we died so many times. We don't lose one life now.

Just picked up cynder today at my local gamestop, they only had one and I got him. They said they get one shippment a week, but its usually just singles... they could not recall last time they saw a three pack... and even the singles, they only get about 4-5 different ones, just one a piece... they had cynder (which I took), drill sarg, WW, and chop chop

Cynder is a girl. Nice find though.

About 3-4 days ago I ordered a wrecking ball/stealth elf/ sonic boom triple pack, eruptor, dino-rang, boomer, and hex figure form Toysrus. Waiting for them to arrive, they said between the 27th through the 29th.

Just got and . two hiding behind all of the
Finally a decent shipment. And of course, they had 2.5 billion .
I still want a legendary. My Toys R Us is finally got a shipment that lasted 10 or more hours.

Can´t wait. New order coming to Iceland on Thursday!!!

i got whirlwind 3 pack(whirlwind drill sergeant double trouble)and sonic boom 3 pack(sonic boom stealth elf wrecking ball) AT WALMART IN CALGARY! so hard to find in calgary

I just got and at Future shop in Calgary!!!!!!
Their was also and their to!

Cynder is a girl. Nice find though.


Oops.... sorry, havent played (or even opened her yet).... Didnt look that close at the box, was to excited that they had her (him, it, whatever)

Seriously lucked out around lunchtime today, Toysrus.com had the legendary 3-pack in stock for shipping! I jumped on that like white on rice, and despite my phone's best efforts to keep redirecting me to the TRU mobile site, finally managed to get my order placed.

First post ever here.

I guess I got hit with Skylanders fever. I've had the game (ps3) since it first came out, but just didn't have any interest in buying new skylanders, or actually playing the game for that matter. All that changed these last couple weeks and I ended up ordering:

-Drobot, FlameSlinger, Stump Smash
-L. Chop Chop, L. Bash, L. Spyro
-Sonic Boom, Wrecking Ball, Stealth Elf
-Empire of Ice
-3DS game (no figures) for cheap

All of which are in the mail. I'm pretty giddy about them getting here. I'm not sure what clicked in my brain. Anyway I'm keeping an eye out for the other three packs that I don't have, and calling stores regularly. The thrill of the hunt.

I just ordered empire of ice and darklight crypt on Toysrus.com YEAH! Still some left, hurry!
