seems like this "huge event" is for the game's latecomers who don't have all of the old waves.

i'll still go. i don't have Bash or Voodood.

Negative on Targets for any new singles (Baltimore-Washington area) and no legal non-ebay online sales at this time also if anyone is interested. I think unless there is a sudden flux from an area of people not posting that its safe to call a general shenanigans for new figures today despite all the TRU ads. Dragon's Peak in stocks seem to be generally confirmed but not able to legally sell until Sunday.

Let's all give a big round of applause to TRU for finding yet another way to piss off the customer. Skylander singles available on 03/21? You bet, but the new ones are not available at all TRU stores. Dragon's Peak on the shelf? You got it, but unfortunately we are incompetent and forgot that it won't ring up until Sunday.

Same story, TRU Mishawaka, IN. Wave one, no new ones, limit one per person. I was 22nd in line another 20 more came in behind me. Guy handing out tickets was clueless about the game and could not tell us what they had.
Waste of an hour PT leaving work. TRU SUCKS!

I got in line behind two other people at TRU at 8:40. An employee said we could only take 1 Skylander per person (not one character of each, but just one figure), and that if we wanted more we would have to get back in line.

I managed to get a Zook, Chop-Chop, and Bash. There were only 4 each of Ignitor, Zook, and Lightning Rod, so by the time I got back through the line, there were none left. Apparently my TRU didn't get much for the new Wave. The employee said there was only a mixed case with the new Wave.

It was a slight win. At least now I just need a small handful of figures, two of which are Lightning Rod and Ignitor.

Oh, and my TRU said they were looking at doing another event on Sunday and that Dragon's Peak should reach them on the 30th.

They had all the old characters from wave like....2....

I was the second person there (a grandma and her gransons were ahead of me) they gave out tickets, i per customer.....

I walked in and saw they only had the old characters (and i own them all) so i gave my ticket to a lady with a baby who wanted 2 Sonic Booms. Im hoping she's not scalping them but...whatever good deed done!

I saw a 3 pack on the counter and said "Whats that over there?" and he said it was the Adventure pack with the fire bird...and I was like So can I buy it? And he's like no we're not allowed to sell it until the 25th.

I was ticked off...like...literally it was RIGHT THERE i should have had it! I SPOTTED IT AND THEY WOULDNT SELL IT TO ME.

So I have to go back Sunday if I want it....

My brother wanted something so I went back to the video game department to pay and the manager told me that the new characters aren't coming out til May (complete bullcrap) and then he said that BLUE BASH will be coming there on April 1st. So I know when I can get him now smilie

And like i said the 25th for the adventure pack...which is Sunday...which is ridiculous cause they have it in stock so they might as well sell it -.-

I went to my local TRU in Mansfield, OH today at opening. There was a crowd of about 12-20 people waiting when they opened.

They had a full display of single pack characters, but no really new ones except Legendary Triggerhappy. They didnt have even sort-of-new ones like Cynder or Doubletrouble.

I ended up picking up:
Legendary Triggerhappy
Boomer
Eruptor
Bash

My TRU, in Fayetteville, GA, had a bunch of the old ones. There was a couple of three packs with an Empire of Ice. The manager brought out tickets to buy Legendary Trigger Happy, which there was plenty for everyone to buy one that wanted one. Regardless, this was a big letdown for me. The TRU said that they couldn't sell the others (Lightning Rod, Zook, Ignitor, Sunburn) until the 25th. She said the register wouldn't let them sell them, even if they wanted to.

It looks like TRU made this big deal about getting figures, but it wasn't for anything new. At least, not until Sunday, and it depends (from reading other posts) on the TRU about which figures would be sold. Now, I'm wondering if March 25th is the real date and if it's the date for all retailers (Best Buy, Target, Wal-Mart, etc). I'll be back to check it out on Sunday.

Toys R US Suxs they had all of us in line we got in got Dragons Peaks and went to check out they would not ring up they took them all away from us what a waste of time! They said they were dated for the 25th. What kind of crap is that to have it and have it taken away so I will have to go back again! They better have them or I'll be pissed! Other than that I got one zook and one lighting rod of the only few they had and I was first in line. Yes a kinda big let down like everyone thought. I am glad for what I got but not glad of how shady and piss poor things were handled and why does tru get first 30 days? If they did this all the time again I would choose not to shop there and tell everyone I know spend your money someplace else! sorry if things are wrong pissed off right now..........

I just got back from the event. I picked up Chop Chop, Bash, Sonic Boom, ZOOK and LIGHTNING ROD!! My Toys R Us also had Dragon's Peak but they can't sell them until this Sunday, the 25th. After the rush of people took everything they wanted, they took all of the remaining Dragon's Peaks off of the shelves.

An employee there took a piece of paper, put my info on it, and taped it to the box, reserving it for me for Sunday. At least I know I'm guarenteed to get it.

All that leaves now for me is Voodood and Prism Break, plus the unreleased Wham-Shell, Camo and Warnado. JUST 5 MORE TO GO!! smilie

Yes, don't be completely discouraged when the register won't ring it up first thing in the morning. This has happened many times at TRU with various things. After a period of time, someone somewhere in the chain manages to get it un-flagged from the system and they will start selling.

My TRU just had a restock of wave 3 (but no Empire of Ice). It wasn't a huge restock. I think I was the first there to buy any, and they had exactly two of each single, and four of each triple pack.

Not happy with how my event went down. I got there at about 8:45 was fourth in line. Employee came out and put 1 per customer signs up everywhere. Went back inside came out again at 9am to inform people who they had to choose from. Zook and LRod were on the list. They open at 9:30 but allowed customers in at 9:17 to buy skylanders. They were all behind the desk in seperated buckets. There looked to be about thirty of each character. I grabbed Zook cause I like him better. I tried to get back in line to get LRod and was actually escorted out of the building. At 9:49 all customers who had been waiting had been serviced and left. I stayed to see if I could get an LRod after the lin was dead. There was one LRod left and they would not sell it to me despite the fact no one else was still waiting because of the so called strict one per customer rule. No sign of sunburn but was told to come back Sunday.

I did not enjoy the experience and felt like I had not been treated well

Grand Chute, WI. There were no less than 100 people in line at 9:30. They opened at 9:45. Limited 1 Skylander per customer and had Stealth Elf, Bash, Chop Chop, Ignitor, Zook, Lightning Rod, and maybe a couple others on the table I glossed over. I grabbed Lightning Rod, and decided I didn't care to get back in line for another.

They DID confirm that the triple/adventure pack event was this Sunday, though.

That my friend sounds the most stupid one that I've heard to date. I know they are trying to control the supply and make sure everyone gets a piece of the action but the fact that you waited when the line cleared up just like a person coming in later, you should have had a chance to get another one. It is not like you were trying to buy4,5 or even 2 of each but just 1 of each.

I'm in Florida and I can confirm that I've seen all but Dragon's Peak of Wave 4 at TRU.

The problem is that they didn't receive many at all. 4 of Ignitor, Zook, and Lightning Rod. With a limit of one figure total per customer (regardless of how early you got there), it's a messed up system.

There's nothing here on South Florida as well, yet, except the Legendary Trigger Happy. I did speak to my Toy's R Us in Jensen Beach, FL this morning, and they have only the old one with the exception of the LTH but told me the Dragon's Peak some other new ones come out on Sunday and that they would be on the shelves when they open Sunday Morning. Also Spoke with my Gamestop and they were shipped the Single Packs yesterday so maybe by the end on the week more will show up in stores. I know, at least here, Target gets their trucks on Tuesday and Thursday so maybe tomorrow as well. I am sure the new one will show up. Down here with Wave I can get Dragon's Peak on Sunday, very excited too as Sunburn is my Favorite. Able to pick it up at 10:00 AM and off the 11:00 AM Church. Awesome! Good Luck to everyone and Happy Hunting!

my tru had a lot, they said the "new" ones were
bash, drobot, ignitor, zook, lightning rod

i find it funny that drobot and bash are mistaken for being new, considering wave 1 has been basically non-existent for over three months

edit: except i aint going until the afternoon. there's a MASSIVE storm system coming in, possibly a tornado or two, and it would be striking right about the time i would arrive at tru. no thanks.\
luckily the lady on the phone mentioned that it was quite slow this morning, here's hoping i can slip in there after the storm passes
