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

is it weird to show up 2 hours early for skylanders or is anyone else planning on doing that... (i do have netflix on my phone and a 3ds so i could do that while waiting)

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 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*

So far there is not a soul here but me lol. Scalpers suck it! However my toys r us probably doesnt have a damn thing.

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.

1st scalper has arrived. Lazy rednecks dont want to get a real job so they sell childrens toys online. Im gonna punch her in the face.

Or maybe she's just like you?

So far, it's just two employees taking a smoke break at my TRU. Lol

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

^ I hope something good happens. Especially since I'm here an hour early.

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

Good luck everyone!!! Hope you all get a Skylander!!!!!!!

GOOD LUCK GUYS!!! Hope you all get what you are looking for!

i just realized TRU opens at 10a not at 9a. aw cwap.

It is confirmed that toys r us in canada will not have this event but will toys r us.com online ship during the event?

Four of us total in front of TRU. Three moms with me, who confirm they're not scalpers.

You people are crazy.

So far just me at my tru, but they just put out a sign that says 1 per person. Grr.

Five other cars outside my local TRU right now.

About 5 people in line in front of my local store. Management just came outside to thank us for waiting. Advised no dragon peak available till sunday. No lightning rod no zook

Is Europe having the March 21st TRU "event"? I would have expected to see findings by this point.

We only just got Wave 3 last week.

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.

My wife is at tru right now with sunburn in hand. Having issues at register. Wish her luck.

I'm in line 20 min before tru opens & I can see thru the window to the EMPTY skylander wall!

Over an hour away and I'm the only on. Thistoys r us told me the y well open 15 early... I'm not going to get sniped by anyone. Yes I have nothing else to do today. DON'T JUDGE ME

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

One per person isn't even worth the time, unless it means one of each per person.

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.

well here we go...its on like donkey kong

8 peeps in line with me and more are arriving every minute. This is stupid insane for a freaking game.

It better be one of each

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.

wow if they don't have lightning rod or zook i'm gonna be pissed

^ Mine said the same thing. Why did my boyfriend have to bail on me?

I realize that but stores break street dates all the time, that is why I said wish me luck.

Maryland. Local store is Columbia.

hmmm crazy. i have some family their actually. well good luck

Anyone think the store that said they had no zook or lightning rod internally scalped them? I think so!

I'm excited to see what is actually on sale and how it goes. I'm on the west coast and it's only 7am here...so I get to be prepared for the worst. Should be interesting none the less.

Anyone from Vegas already waiting? Bad lines?

^ same claim here in Central PA,

-M

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.

Update: my wife says they have tons of Dragons peak on shelf but they are pulling them since it will not ring up. They did put her name on the one she had and put it behind the counter for Sunday.
