I believe this event is only in the USA and maybe canada. but for sure the USA.
so when people report their luck/disappointment please include where you are. just so everybody knows.

oh this is something i forgot to add. the toys r us i go to is opening 15 minutes early for rewards-r-us members and they are using a ticket system. (kansas city)

i will post here directly after i get/dont get whatever toys r us has. so like, 4 hours from now

I guess I'll aim for getting there about a half hour early - I know I probably should get there sooner, but ai can't imagine this being as bad as Black Friday. I'll report back.

I think that's a bit extreme. I doubt anyone will be there. We're not talking about a Playstation 4, we're talking about Skylanders. Their stock will be in the 100+ range I think 2 hours early is a lot. I plan to leave my house at 9:30. It's about 5-10 minutes away. If I get there and there's people standing outside i'll wait also, if not i'll drive by and come back in a few more minutes, ro sit in the parking lot.

I dont want to look insane trying to get a kids toy

As I posted in another thread i plan to get there like 20 minutes early. As long as i'm there when the doors open, if they're giving out tickets ill get some, if theyre not then there's NO WAY anyone can buy the entire stock. I'm 20. I will push these old people out of the way, or wiggle my way through the crowds as I often do on Black Friday and take what I want off the rack.

If someone decides t odump the entire stock into their cart, I will gladly take what I want from their cart....AND RUN.

Who knows, you guys going to this event may end up with Dragons Peak; there is a few more on ebay that aren't stock photos but the seller's original picture.

Too bad Canada isn't doing this promotion smilie When I spoke to the employee, he said we might get them this week; he had no idea about a triple packs or singles. Usually they have all the new Skylanders Thursday and sometimes as early as Wednesday afternoon. *CrossMyFingersTheyHaveItTomorrow*

I will be going up about an hour early. I have to drop my girl off at work and it's just down the road. There is a Target next door so I'll probably hit there first if there isn't a line outside the TRU.

Good. This gives me hope for my TRU. I went to one TRU last time when Wave 3 was "supposed" to be released and there was 1 guy there before. But he wasnt there for Skylanders. But then like 2 or 3 families came in after him for Skylanders and were disappointed there were none.

Hopefully it's the same situation this time

Two moms have joined me. They're buying skylanders for their kids. They had no clue Wave 4 might possibly be in stock.

Got here at 915 and no one was here. Went to Target and came back at 934 and still no one in line. So, first in line but there is a sign that says limit 1 per guest. I don't want to do the scalper thing, but it would be nice if I could all the ones that my boys don't have.

Dragon's Peak isnt legally allowed to be sold till Sunday. 3/25 That would likely explain why there is trouble at the register.

My TRU said one single figure per person, but said you could go back out to your car after purchase then come back inside at the back of the line over again.

This is a wierd question but it relates: My TRU normally opens at 9, so does this mean its opening an hour late today? Im confused becasue they never really open late.

The manager was actually nice enough to give a list of the figures they had available. No new figures so no reason for me to stick around in line. Hex, Chop Chop, Bash, and two others. I didnt write it down. Anyone in that area might still get lucky. Only 5 other people besides me and as said before it was one single figure per person per purchase. You could exit the store however and then come back and re-enter the line over again. Not sure if the 0 count on Lightning Rod or Zook is crap yet. She did say they had Dragon's Peak but were not able to legally able to sell it till Sunday. I could come back then. Which I will be of course.
