haha i get to stay home from school tommorow (im 12) and me and my mom r going there at like 7 am to wait in line for them to open


If I see a mob scene when I pull into the parking lot, I'm turning around and going back to work.


I want to make a story out of this for my blog so I'll hang around for a while. This will give us a good idea of what to expect come this fall when the sequel comes out. Last year, the game was snobbed by a lot of people at the beginning and this year everyone will already know what Skylanders is even before the sequel comes out. Considering the release date is the well into the holiday shopping season, we might see more people gathering before store opening hours just for Skylanders and this can happen at the first day of release of the sequel. While most toy companies are just only starting to market their toys as the hot toy for Christmas during October, Skylanders would already have a huge following and buzz around and I can bet it is already the hottest toy of the year. I personally want to get an idea of how crazy it will be and maybe decide on what tactics I'll use to get all of the newly released figures from Giants. Activision is also going to to be marketing the game aggressively which will surely add to the frenzied atmosphere around these toys. Let us also not forget that licensed Skylanders merchandise is going to be all over the place. This too will contribute to the frenzied atmosphere.

Tomorrow's so called event will also give us an idea of how popular the franchise is right now considering all the stocking issues we are experience and that we are in March which is not really the season for toys.



I don't think that tomorrows event will be a good measure of the franchises popularity considering it's on a Wednesday morning. Most people work (9-5), or go to school (8-3) when the event starts so a lot of people won't get to show up until late if at all. I wouldn't be too hopeful of their being any Skylanders left after 3pm =[. Now if this event was on a Saturday . . . I could only imagine how massive that would be.

I was just told DP is not out tomorrow. There will be a separate event for it. So for us it looks the the 25th as well. I was also told that there were no new figures at our store. Spoke straight to the manager and she said everything she saw was previously released figures. I cannot wait until this is over. Good luck tomorrow!

lol....did I just get into a flamewar with a little kid? Funny how I have a dead end job that allows me to go to and from it whenever I please and work whatever hours I want, pays me really well and lets me post to forums while I work. Kid, if you had any idea what I do, you'd go crawl back into the bedroom from which you came...and someday you'll remember that comment you made when you are stuck in a dead end job yourself. Just go enjoy your childhood. If you wanna get up and camp a store at 7am. More power to ya...but it is a waste of time...you're gonna wait 3 hours in line to likely get 1 Skylander. You'll be the first one to get it at that store, and you won't get those 3 hours back. But you're a kid...so yeah...you've got plenty to learn. Everything in life is earned. Sigh...kids...Ark...why such a negative attitude? If you wanted to be cool, you'd let your mom relax for a couple hours and show up at 9:00. I assure you you'll still be plenty early to get 1, 2 or even 3 of the ones you want.

This is the last I'll speak on this...back on topic...

So does anyone know if places like Gamestop will get the new ones the same day? How bout stores that open earlier like Target and Walmart? When would Walmart put their stock out? Midnight? I didn't get a chance to stop today on my run. Any ideas?

^ No, the ticket is to insure that you can purchase one Skylander because you were in line so you get priority over someone who just walks in with no ticket. So in other words, you have to have a ticket to hand in to buy a Skylander.

I like I don't even have to respond to Ark...he does all the damage to himself. So your mom goes to a methadone clinic? What does having a mental disease have to do with methadone? I am guessing your mom is a former heroine or opiate addict? I don't want to judge a person, but someone correct me if I'm wrong. What other reason would you go to a methadone clinic? Does she work there? Okay...I'm a bit confused. Well, if she will be up that early, then enjoy your stay at Toys R Us! smilie

I am just going to take the moral high road on this one. *shrug*


Anyone have any Walmart info for their release of the toys? Bueller? Bueller?

More info. ALL of my local TRU's got the email that it is a ticketed event, and each person is allowed ONE Skylander.

If you want Zook, Lightning Rod, Ignitor, and Dragon's Peak, take your pick, because you can only pick one.
GameMaster,

Have you checked with your TRU if they can actually sell Dragon's peak tomorrow? I'm hearing that the register will not allow them to be sold because there is a street date on them for the 25th. Sorta like how games cannot sell certain games early because the register won't allow it.

If it is indeed 1 per customer at my store, I think I will chose Dragon's Peak over Lightning Rod and Zook.

Just spoke with my Toy's R us in Jensen Beach Florida (South Florida) and they have nothing tomorrow except previous releases and the Legendary Trigger Happy. I'll be checking the other stores, but so far none of the Gamestop's in my area have any information on anything shipping. Their Computes update every morning as I am sure you all know, but so far nothing on the shipping manifest. It has been consistent here that there manifest shows Skylanders days before they get them, so I don't really expect any for myself tomorrow, as I have all the current releases and only need Lightning Rod, Zook, Dragon's Peak (Sunburn my favorite), Legendary Trigger Happy and the Blue Bash. I live about 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours north and this is the closet TRU to e Not even worth going for just Legendary Trigger Happy. Here's Hoping online may post them before the stores get the, Happy Hunting everyone and God bless! Stay safe tomorrow if you are going to hunt Skylanders because people can get crazy. (remember the Beanie Baby craze?)

My TRU manager said March 25th was the release for Dragons Peak and April 1st for Blue Bash. So the hubby and I are going to go tomorrow so we can each get one single Skylander...Zook and Lightning Rod for our son. =)

Yes, me too... all signs point that I will find NOTHING I want tomorrow (Just really want Dragon's Peak, and the Zook/L-Rod/Cynder 3-pack.)

So, unless I enjoy being disappointed, I might as well not go tomorrow.

Which is why I'm going tomorrow.

Called both my local TRU's on the way home from work and both of them stated that there will be NO new Skylander's tomorrow. They have a new display and lots of figures, but the "newest" one they'll have is L-TH.

And all singles. They didn't get any triple packs or adventure packs.

They said DP will be released on Sunday the 25th.

Guess I just saved myself some time, gas, money, and work hours...What a bust of a "big event"...

#745 Posted: 00:21:17 21/03/2012
Didn't take a pic of that one. I can say it feels lighter than any other adventure pack. Sunburns left arm almost pushes against the bubble, which really worries me, that I won't have a spot to put him in my Stanley Sortmaster.

I swear on my kids' lives I held one in my hand. I love my kids more than anything.

To further prove I have held one. The bottom inside of Dragon's Peak is a pool (ie water) like the bottom of Empire of Ice's waterfall.

I will prove they have it, though, when I pick up one tomorrow.

As for singles, I hope to have 5 Zook and Lightning Rods by the end of the day tomorrow. I am rooting for my daughter to get that Cynder.

I stopped by two TRU stores on my way home and both are doing tickets; one Skylander per person tomorrow. I had them check the stock on DP and some stores in my area have them and some do not. TRU drone went in back and said that he physically saw DP boxes, but cannot sell until 3/21. Tried my best to talk him into selling me one, but he would not bend. We could not look up various figures since their SKU's for singles are for the entire box of six figures. :-| I will have three people at two TRU stores so hopefully DP, Zook and LR will be covered. If any others come out (Camo, Warnado, Wham Shell) I am screwed and will have to get those another day.

It's still going to be a horror show though. I am prepared for disappointment. Activision + TRU = heavy sigh....
