So, just letting someone know that in-hand listings are up on eBay for the new singles. No three-packs or Dragon's Peak yet, but for anyone who's wondering when the first wave of new figures would hit... it has.

I'd include a link, but it's not that hard to look on eBay.

They sold out already. Thanks for making the scalpers aware bc it will now be reposted for 3x the amount.

They are the workers who stole the boxes. In one of the Lightning Rod listings you can see the box from TRU on the side. It even says Toys. They probably even took the pictures inside the store. I hate scalping employees!

I don't care who was made aware. News is news. They'd have gone for the exact same amount of money anyway, regardless of if I posted this here, or on every single Skylanders forum across the internet. Sorry if you have sour grapes about scalpers and not being able to find figures, but it needs to be known that they are available, and that's that.

I don't really care if they are on eBay because I already know they will be released on Wednesday.

They're probably already at Walmart. That's way more plausible than a whole bunch of thieving employees all posting stolen merchandise at once, within the same two-hour period, from all across the country.

I called every Walmart in my city. They got stock of singles in today. They were all wave 3.

Any cynder at walmart?

Yes. I had a lady hold me a couple. I would have had to drive 7 miles to get them. I decided not to go.

I'm totally buzzkilled over this. My motivation to help anyone at the moment is totally gone. Now scalpers again, get lucky while legitimate fans are left in the cold. I'll just see how this week goes.

GM. If I get any on Wednesday, I will get them to you. I don't have a need for them as I just sent my collection to my nephew. I will find a way to get the others by xmas when I will need them for my nephew. So I'm gonna try to be your personal shopper. We'll see what I come up with. I have a feeling I won't see a ton of people on Wednesday. So I think I'll be able to get quite a few if I can stave off the scalpers from buying the lot of them. Trust me, I will raise hell if they do.

There's been Cynder at Wal-Mart.

Just not for very long because she flies off the shelf.

I don't want to say to much about it but I am a memebr of manangement at a wal-mart and have crossed refernced the single pack stealth elf upc against incoming skylander frieght. Stores are getting in massive numbers of wave 2 and 3 cases as well as all released adventure cases but no apparent signs of wave 4 yet. Just hope they have not changed stealth Elf's UPC number.

Same goes for target which they got some stock today. Can you provide us some info why the smaller Walmarts got rid of their Skylanders section? Last time I was able to get an adventure pack, it was just some kind of hanging display at the side of the shelf. I know the bigger supercenters still have shelf space for Skylanders.

Single pack Stealth Elf is a part of wave 4.

And thanks, Xero. I will hook you up somehow, if you're able to help.

Everything indicates that EVERY single Wal-mart/Sam's Club still has an active modular from between 4 and 12 feet and length exclusively for Skylanders and the display. No store has had permission to take down the display but several employees have begun begging for them. The only thing I can recommend is calling the 1-800-walmart customer service number with that wal-mart stores number should be found on the receipt. Just act concerned about why the display is gone and it will likely reappear very quickly. There has been some shady stuff happening. That is why I can't even buy skylanders in my own store because I have been involved in releasing associates for understocking them. All stores should be actively replenishing sold skylanders slowly. The major issue of replenishment would come from stores with high skyanders theft rates.

If anyone is willing to private message me a zipcode and a wal-mart location preferably with a store number I might be able to check store stock.
I am taking a few days off so won't be able to get accurate on hands and shipping reports but I can tell you what your store claims to have.

Thanks for the info. The display, to be honest with you, was never there since day 1. I will call them tomorrow about this. I've actually given up on walmart ever since the groceries got introduced. So far the only stops for me are Target and TRU. I guess walmart does not like my money anymore. LOL

It appears to be officially out there a box of wave 4 consists of sonic boom, eruptor, stealth elf, bash, L Rod and Zook. Ignitor singles ARE NOT IN THE WAVE 4 BOXES.

YAY! Bash is in there!

Holy crap! Those were the only figures left that I saw on both Targets this morning. The funny thing is I never saw what the two other figures were because I came there pretty late. Only singles of Sonic boom, eruptor, stealth elf, and bash were available. I'm a little confused because I was expecting boomer, voodood and prism break to accompany the 2 new figures. How were you able to confirm this info?

I was about to buy zook after I bought l rod but ur post made it go quick. We know these are coming tomorrow and did not need to know these are out already. It is nothing new. Id pay $50 a figure to not have to waste my day at TRU with the crowd or logging onto this site every 5 minutes to see if they are online. Im gonna say 20$ in gas $50 in pay by not missing a couple hours of work and have nothing to worry about. Totally worth it.

yay zook and lightning rod i will have to check stores today

They wont be out til tomorrow.

who knows there on ebay [in hand] so they might be at my stores today

Quote: zook it up

More than likely someone who's working at a TRU is selling them right out of the box before putting them out tomorrow. I have no doubt in my mind that the boxes are already in the stores, just that they're waiting for tomorrow.

Quit being a sour puss.

Oh, and everyone else - is it brown Bash or blue Bash? Thanks! :-) Going to TRU first thing in the AM!

Should be regular Bash. Blue won't be out till April 4th.

I got Blue Bash yesterday. His color is blue but when you play him in the game he is just like regular bash. I think they could have done a better job and made him "blue" in the game! He even cost more than regular characters! In answer... he is blue and brown! lol

Ignitor is a part of wave 4. I held him in my hand today. I will show a pic when I get home.

I am glad I was wrong on that one. I take it that means sonic boom, bash, stealth elf, L Rod and Zook are the other five in the box.

So what else did you find GM?

Well, I held Zook and L. Rod in my hand. Here's hoping I can get what I would like. I'm not going to talk a lot about it, because I still feel as if I am going to waste 5 hours of my time, only to get nothing at all. That's my breaking point.

Here is the Ignitor I held in my hand. An employee at a TRU was nice enough to confirm they had them.

Orlando, Fl TRu released the single Skylanders already. Sold out when I stopped by....

Wow that is bull****... put the signs up for the 21st then release them the day before.

If true, that is unacceptable. TRU continues to give TRU a bad name.

I suggest EVERYONE complains to corporate, if they go to a store that limits to one Skylander per customer. Why? It's wrong for some to do it, but not all. One of my three local TRU's isn't limiting, while the other two are.

Some people are going to wait, just to have new characters flaunted in their face, only to walk out with one.

Now I definately need help. As of now, my son/daughter and his friends don't have fate going in their favor, just like it isn't for me. This sucks.

A Limit of 1 merchandise per customer is cruel. Limit of 1 per unique merchandise is OK with me. If this happens then I have no choice but to get the other figures from eBay. I will be there early and to not get a fair chance to get the new figures will be disappointing since we only expect 2 new merchandise and most are just reprints of existing ones. I can live without the Ignitor single character pack but to leave the store without Zook and Lightning Rod is unacceptable to me.

Welp, I actually kind of like that. I know there's probably a lot of people who won't be able to get there right at store opening, so it helps people who're coming later to have a bigger chance at something they want. (Which honestly shouldn't happen in the first place. They KNOW not everyone can go in the middle of the week. Why not do it on the weekend? And why not produce boxes with a single character in them, and ship more of those?)

My dad will hopefully be able to snag me one when he gets there since I have classes at that time. It's a shame it's had to come to this.

Well, I will be able to manage 3 of each character, due to how many are going with me. So, if two others here happen to go to a TRU that doesn't have a limit and can get me 2 Zook and 2 Lightning Rod, then I will give my daughter the Cynder, my son's friend two adventure packs and Xenoblade.

I told them if I only end up with 3, I would buy them all a Dragon's Peak for helping. I really wish I could give my daughter Cynder, but that's only if fate allows for me to have 5 of each by the end of the day, either via myself or outside help.

EDIT: Well 3 of Zook and Lightning Rod. I still need 1 Ignitor as well.

Thats not true i went to walmart for grocery shopping and i checkd the electronics there was a cynder and i come back an hour later and it is still there! So no. Youre wrong

Wooow, one hour on what might've been a slow day. Get back to me when she stays on the peg for more than a day like poor Boomer or Flameslinger.

Heck I haven't even seen a Whirlwind or Cynder single pack at my stores at all!

I only have a Whirlwind because I managed to find her triple pack with Double Trouble and Drill Sergeant once.

Once.

I saw Whirlwind, but that was way before the whole Skylanders rush started. Probably in October or November.
Ever since then I have yet to see her in the store.

Me too and I have another one because its wing was broken (but I super-glued it back on) and Activision sent me another one.

Yay!! Zook and Lighting rod are on ebay!

^wow ur slow
