And Ignitor?
When did you add him to the pot?

-M

I've had him added to the pot, but only need 1 of him.

I don't know, really. I have a store holding me some Cynders right now. I will buy them in hopes of helping others who need it. Guess I'll see how this week goes, and if I get lucky or someone else gets lucky and decides to help me.

So who are you guys looking more forward to in wave 4. Sunburn, lightning rod, or Zook?

sunburn for sure! moving while endless flamethrower! and teleporting! how much awesome could it get! but i am also looking forward to lightning rod because of his cool long range and short range attacs. and im also looking forward to zook because of his awesome bazooka! so im probably gonna get all 3!. oh and i also dont have a cynder so i will prob get that too ( i really want cynder!). oh and voodood if they have it. and a bash if they have it. and thats pretty much it.

But lol i can only afford like DP and like one singe. Or a 3 pack and a single. so fate will tell me which ones i will be getting

Also, i dont mean to sound selfish, i just want figures

Lightning Rod for me. In my own one-of-each element roster, there's a big, gaping hole in the Air element that I sure could use a character I actually like for. Whirlwind and Sonic Boom just don't do it for me. Rod could leave me with a mostly complete team, pending the possible induction of Wham Shell in the last wave.

On a side note, I'm terribly disappointed in Walmart for not having those two singles out ahead of release this time. I realize DP was always going to be a TRU... problem, but I had expected to be able to grab the singles early, and at a price that isn't highway robbery. I suppose that won't be the case, because Wednesday is practically upon us.

called all my stores, none of them had any. then i went to best buy and found out their delivery schedulel! so i'll be getting skylanders on friday!!!!

Are they for sure getting them on Friday? My best buy gets them tuesdays or Friday's. However, I have been told this before and have not seen any at BB in like a month. I still don't know how they were able to update their skylanders area with new figures in the display if they keep saying the packages are being delayed.

So no dragons peak wednesday?

i think DP will still be there on wednesday

^I agree

To dragon_fang21:

^ We don't know for sure so only time will tell. I honestly doubt that it will come out then but you never know. If it doesn't come out Wednesday, then there's a chance that it will come out on the 25th according to the creator of the "Dragon's Peak Availability" thread.

called my local TRU manager, he was checking future rewards card member email bursts
he mentioned something about dragon's peak and the 25th offhand, i wasn't paying too much attention since i asked him to look for stuff happening on the 21st

guess il just be crossin my fingers n toes n... i dunno maybe my eyes

i still think it will be the 21st

^I hope it is. If not it HAS to be Sunday.

Definitely, but don't they know that if they hold back DP it will anger their clientele? And don't they know that maybe, just maybe, their clientele will not buy DP from them and instead wait for it to be at Gamestop?

Well now that I think about it, DP is in such high demand that TRU knows it can get away with ANYTHING.

I'm not sure if we will see DP Wednesday or Sunday, but it has to be one of those days. Howeve it's could be Sunday for the guy who made the DP thread. He did not say it was for all TRU. But only time will tell.

Someone on Facebook posted this -

"No zook and lightning rod at my local TRU for the event on the 21st! Trying to find out if one in a nearby city will have them!"

Someone replied with this -

"How do you know? My TRU said to call late afternoon on Tuesday to see what they'll have. They also said if they do not get anything Tuesday, to still call on Wednesday."

To which the response was this -

"The store manager knows me very well and he showed me his whole stock for the event. They had 8 cases of the single characters and 4 trigger happy cases! He said he might get a shipment on the 21st but it would not be there till the afternoon. He opened the cases in front of me! Sad to say the least!"

So it looks like not all stores will get Zook and Lightning Rod.

wow. so what is this event supposed to be? A time where all the old characters come back?

eh. whatever. as long as they come out soon i will be happy.

now if i can just get a cynder or voodood out of this event!

So here is how my Wednesday will go.

Taking off work, so losing money that day, only to sit in a line for 2 hours, to probably be met with no Zook or Lightning Rods at all, or somebody thinks to push me aside as they run to the Skylander aisle.

Lose money, time, and get pushed.

Its ok because that is how most peoples Wednesdays will be. Just think positive, even if it does not seem likely to help. Always think like this and you will eventually be rewarded.

And I am not trying to sound like a hippie or something, I am just being POSITIVE

Edit: Oh, and I bet that Ignitor will be at the event, so look forward to that!

If your TRU didnt have Rod and Zook then u checked to early. TRU announced that they will be available on the 21st and that they are a part of this 21st event.

Good point. They may get them in Tuesday night or Wednesday morning even.

No Zook and no LRod means no Ignitor and no Stealth Elf they are all packed in the same box. The lack of wave 4 single boxes at the event will be frustrating possibly riotous . I hope that we not only see them but there is a reasonable amount sent to each store. You might also note GM needs to find five cases worth of these figures and pry them out of the hands of others while doing it. Although I hope he gets them because I want his daughter to get the Cynder.

Well, some TRU's have Zook and L. Rods, as you can see from the Ebay auction that one guy everyone says is an employee listed.

Well, if anyone wants to help, it would be appreciated.

If I don't see DP on Wednesday I'll ask an uninformed looking employee to see if DP is in the back and if it is he/she will probably bring it out because the don't know its supposed to be released Sunday.
ITS THE PERFECT PLAN!

I will try to help if my TRU has any of wave 4, but will probably only be able to get one for you if they have it at al. Which is the most important?

If you can, slpfw, one of each. Lightning Rod, Zook and Ignitor. If you see a blue Bash, that'd be cool as well. One of each is fine. I hope that multiple people end up helping, and it reaches that number 5. If that happens, I will be eternally greatful, and those who helped, will be at the top of my list of helping them should I find anything first.

Thanks, slpfw.

I hope my TRU has them, if they don't, I will be mad

i think other peoples doubts about the 21st are starting to scare me lol

I thought of something, while defragging my brain in a nice relaxing hot bath today.

Anyone who has ever helped me get Skylanders, I am going to make a nice paper to hang on the wall, with a message saying, "Thanks to *insert name* of *insert website*."

When we look back, we can say it was never easy to build this collection. Some gave up during the process. The least I can do, is thank those who helped me, by showing it on my Skylander wall.

IRK! I am getting all paranoid when there is nothing to worry about!

MUAHAHAhAha!!!!

MUAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHH!


MUAHAHAH...cough...cough...HAHAhaHAH...

No fear. This is supposed to be fun. Lets all just go and have fun. If you see a scalper, promise yourself to slap their stack of skylanders out of their hand...SERIOUSLY!. Get what you can. Be helpful to those who deserve help. But just have fun. We are 1 day away. It's only a couple hours out of our time. I hope to see some of you on Wednesday. If you are in Everett, I will be at the TRU there wearing a grey zipper zoo york sweatshirt with jeans...short brown hair. Stop to say hi to me. I think it would be cool if people here posted pics of themselves with their favorite figure.

MUAhAHAHAHAH....

I know dragon, I'm kinda scared they won't be there. Agh so irritated with the thought!

I would GLADLY smack the stuff out of the scalpers hands! Of course if it turned out to be an honest happy skylanders fan by mistake i may feel a bit guilty lol. suppose i should ask first

It will be obvious who the scalper is. I was thinking about this. Buy as many as you can, and then return them in 2-3 packs at a time wave so kids can get their hands on them... I have also considered buying as many as I can and selling them on craigslist 1 pack at a time.

At this point, I don't really care if Dragon's Peak comes out this Wednesday since I know I'll eventually pick one up once the 30-day Toys R Us embargo is up, if not before.

What I want is a darn Cynder.

Yes, they tend to be overweight, unshaved, long hair, and possibly wearing a fedora.

HOLY **** They are for sale in Gig Harbor, WA.

The one auction for Zook is from Gig Harbor....F!!!

im unable to go so sadly im unable to be all worried about it.

^Seriously? Oh well, that's about an hour or two from here (where I live).

Ok something is wrong if they have it already. I always imagined scalpers to be mama's boys and also GM's descriptions.

I kept telling people, that if 3 TRU's were willing to be shady, why would they be the only ones?

Now there are TRU employees taking stock, before the event even starts.

I do realize that we will all get these at some point. So lets no panic. I contacted Walmart just now. What I heard from them is they got 1 in... 1. And he said they have a whole bunch on order, but have not received any, and that they must be really low on stock.

So I am kinda not aiming at Walmart. I am thinking I will do Gamestop, and TRU, then Gamestop, then Target, then Walmart, then my local Fred Meyers.

I think that some staff think they are already out and buying them not knowing they are not technically out yet. I went to my TRU the other day and i asked the employee about the event and all she knew was that they would have alot of skylanders. So, it may not be purposeful. Although it is a little suspicious.

Edit: But i think that my TRU has no scalpers working there. They are almost all honest people! But some of them are a little sketchy.... Hopefully my TRU has some good stuff because they never get alot of good stock and a bunch of little kids live by my TRU!

But i am trying gamestop more now ever since that huge shipment the other day (i got pirate seas and empire of ice!).
But i am mainly looking for cynder so, Anyone know where I can get a cynder? lol i dont know where to go to get that! Target is a no beacuse no more stock till June and Best by has nothing and gamestop has not had singles in like 2 months. Hopefully it is at TRU

Nothing we can do about the scalpers but they better have enough merchandise on wed that everyone can get at least 1 of each of the new figure, the new triple pack or the adventure pack.

i hope theres not lines of people waiting to get inside toysrus

I just want to be able to have one of each figure! I really want and NEED stealth elf!! Hopefully on Sunday they restock do can get any that I don't have.
