Problem is they get them in and then are gone with-in a day!
I thought mine stopped selling them they took down display everything....but they do show up once in a blue moon.

^My Walmart got every single thing in yesterday including Wave 4 and its true that they sell out in a day (especially the new ones(Wave 4) because one person can come and take all of Wave 4 at once in the exact day they came out, but No! this time I won! I was that person.

I don't know if this is th riht thread but listen to this.

I was at Marble Slab. We finished up and went outside. I got my mom to take me into Gamestop next door. They had lots of skylanders (Stealth Elf, Chop Chop, Bash, Eruptor, Drill Sergeant, Drobot, and Double Trouble!). The guy askes us if he could help us with anything and my mom says no just looking at skylanders. The man tells us that is the remnents of there shipment of only thirty!! He then told us that they only got one of each of the new ones!! I asked when they would et more and he said that they don't have any more shipments planned on the schedule!
On the way home, my mom said that's probably the employees! The employees part I believe. But, come on Activision! You make a new skylander, It should be the only one in the shipments!!
I live in Alaska, so small shipments and rare shipments are usual. But still, Make the availibility better for your players!!

Thanks Kitty,

You had no idea how much I did not want ot go to Toys R US tomorrow for this. Ironically I think I am still going because I already promised my daughter we would go there early for the release and I need another shot at a Lightning Rod. At least I now know I am likely to get a Sunburn so there be no worries.

Kitty, I was about to post a new thread about this! I don't think there's any need to worry about scalpers, though - I'm sure they can find it on their own, too. I'd focus on the families you help acquire it by posting the link, instead.

Well good, I'm glad I saved a lot of people here a great deal of trouble and/or stress tomorrow! I, myself, would gladly pay shipping in exchange for a two hour wait, from which I'm not even guaranteed a pack.

@ Himewad : That would make a lot of sense, wouldn't it? The communication within the business must be nonexistent, I mean with them having to pull Dragon's Peak packs and stuff on Wednesday. I'm not going to complain if I don't have to get up super early tomorrow, though!

Also, while I'm thinking about it, keep an eye on amazon today for EoI. When I ordered mine Thursday, the page said processing would take an extra 1-2 days, and that the next shipment should arrive today. Since mine hasn't shipped yet, I imagine it should when the stock comes in.

Got it an hour ago. I'll probably still go to TRU tomorrow to try and get it sooner, but if not I'll at least have this to fall back on. Hoping it doesn't ship until Monday so that I can cancel the order if need be.

Thanks so much everyone. I saw this and the other thread and ordered the Dragon's Peak. Be here in a few days. I really did not want to go to Toy's R us in the morning as I am a minister and my TRU is about 30 miles away and Church at 11:00AM Was really praying for a solution. God and you guys came through, Thanks so much also found Lighting Rod yesterday at Gamestop now just need Zook and Legendary Trigger HAppy. Thanks again God bless you all, I pray you get the ones you need Have a blessed day and happy hunting!!

Cynder is back and stock @ amazon. Looks like we are getting a huge supply across all retailers.

Thanks for the DP tip too. I ordered mine online and I can wait 1 more week to have it instead of falling in line.

I ordered Dragon's Peak online and it says I'll see it 3/29-4/3. So psyched. smilie I have the patience to wait in line at TRU, but not the time; and I have a feeling this Adventure Pack is going to be harder to get than the rest of Wave 4.

How is it even worth selling on Ebay. After fees and tax, you end up making only a couple dollars. There are plenty of Ebay listings for a measly $15 that end with no bidders.

It's now 5pm, so I'm going to bump this in case there are people here that haven't seen it yet.

I'm rather surprised to see it's still in stock 11 hours later. I guess since it isn't on Zoolert yet it isn't selling out in minutes.

There were ~100 people outside my store 30 minutes prior to opening on a weekday for the last event. I figure if I wanted a chance at Dragon's Peak on a Sunday, I'd have to be there around two hours prior to opening. I'm not particularly excited about that. However, the ad ialex posted in another thread suggested that they -might- have the legendary triple packs in stock.

So I figure with the 1 pack per customer limit, I could order Dragon's Peak online and arrive 15~30 minutes prior to opening Sunday. While the people who have been waiting since 8am are getting Dragon's Peak, I could grab the legendary triple pack. Plus, all triple and adventure packs costing over $20 come with a $5 gift card in store.

Of course, there's no guarantee the local TRU will have either Dragon's Peak or the legendary triple pack. However, if the product is in-stock at TRU.com (which it is), you only have about 30 minutes to cancel it. So you really can't order it, go to TRU tomorrow, and cancel your order if you manage to get Dragon's Peak from the store. So it really comes down to:

Ordering: Guaranteed to get; Sunday morning not spent in front of TRU; will arrive between 3/28 and 4/02; costs ~$33.

Waiting: No guarantee; possible hours spent waiting in line; can play it right away; costs ~$21.

This was the same debate I had this morning with myself. On the one hand, the TRU I was going to go to thanks to the info from another member here was supposed to have at least 30 some in stock, not to mention if they got more.

On the other, it's not an absolute guarantee that I'll get one; I may get there and find a ton of people in line. The way I see it, a little bit more online not only guarantees that I'll get DP, but also prevents me headache and heartache from searching around. That to me is worth it.


(Although in your case, I'd definitely order online and nab a Legendary Pack in store. That $5 giftcard should eat up the Shipping and handling for DP to get to your house)
