How many did yours get? There was a line of people, and everybody who didn't get one was disappointed. I was first in line. Are stores going to be getting more Blue Bash?

Mine got 12 only some store got 12 most stores got only 6

I wonder why though. Legendary Trigger Happy is a toysrus exclusive, and they got a lot of those.

The tru I was at said they got 9. Odd........

The first one I went to had about 12 and they were passing out tickets one per person. And I missed it by a few seconds.....

Second one we went to had "10" (which I don't believe..) but they had like 5 sitting on the counter so my ddad and I bought one.

Guess I will go down and stand in line now...it's cold and rainy here...blech

My TRU never got blue bash?

The store I went to had 12 some. One took one and made it 11 the guy was looking into that lol

My store got 24
Big deal its just plain Bash thats blue waste of time...

mine had like 10 i think


NO ONE TOLD MEH

mine had 6

Mine had six. Thank goodness they did tickets for the figure and kept the figures behind the cash register.

I wonder why TRU didn't get a lot of blue Bash but seems to be overrun with L-TH.

I'm in Florida, by the way.

Only 6 in Florida. I got there at 930 and was second in line.

For those saying that their store had quantities like 10 and 9, there's obviously a problem. Blue Bash came in cases of 6. Someone's given your area the short end of the stick.

What's with all the variance in how many cases TRUs received? Mine only got 1, but I see some of your TRUs got 2 or even 3. According to Activision's statement of there being 4200* Blue Bashes and with there being at least 683 TRUs in the US, each store should have received at least 1 case of Blue Bash. I see that AJAwesome said their store didn't get any in. Maybe this is what's "messing" with the case numbers?

*I didn't actually read this, but I've seen that other people have said that's the supposed amount being released initially.

Got to TRU a half hour before opening, I was first in line of twenty people and they handed out tickets for the 12 blues they got in.
More people came streaming in later asking about them.
I wonder if Activision will produce another run of them, the demand is there for sure.

TRU did have presells on them maybe that is why the numbers don't add up? What do you think?

San Antonio, TX - Got to TRU 30 min before opening (was #9 in line). They came out 10 min before opening to announce they only had 11 come in as they gave out tickets. I was lucky, but there were about 10 people at the end of the line who weren't too happy. Hopefully more will be out soon.

I went to 3 stores today. 2 of them only got 12. (2 cases) The 3rd store wouldn't say how many they got, but the stack of tickets seemed more then 12. I can tell you that 1 of the stores didn't sell the last one until 11:45AM (My friend bought the last one). The other store with the undisclosed amount still had plenty at 2PM (My wife picked one up). 2 of the 3 stores are in a major metropolitan area. The other was on the outskirts.

And just providing some random information I overheard, they were giving out raincheck tickets and stated the next batch would be released in June. The fact that they are releasing more in June is a little disturbing considering this is a limited release. Not so limited if they keep making more (ala Legendary Skylanders).

I agree about the limited release thing. And speaking of Legendary Skylanders, wouldn't it have been cool if Activision had put more effort into the Triple Pack and less into L-TH? I heard that my TRU was giving away a free L-TH with every Dragon's Peak purchase last Sunday. /sigh

My TRU said they had more L-TH in the back...that was with the counter already filled with them along with the sales display. I'm going to guess over 40 L-TH on display. I wonder what they had in the back. And that AFTER 2 weeks of selling them!!! The sad thing is, most of the OTHER skylanders (non-legendary) were selling faster than the L-TH. Too bad, I like Trigger Happy...ruined a great character.

I went an hour later to see if they had LRod but they didn't, I did notice that there were a lot of LTH though. Probably the ones that didn't get sold yesterday.

I think L-Triggs may have fallen under the over-abundance category which is a shame since they went like hotcakes the first bit they were out.

If only they'd do that with new releases..I wonder how many TRU had them make?

They just made 2 many LTH's they will be free soon with a skylander deal you watch and see silly tru's. If they focused on zooks and rods that would have been better than LTH.

My story matches the other ones here pretty much.
They got a mere 6 figures in, they gave rainchecks for the first x people in line, they'll restock in June.

I ended up with a rain check.

But I was thinking...

The gift card that they gave last week for adventure packs expires late June.
They'll restock Bash in June.
Maybe they're going to purposely push back the release so you won't be able to use that gift card for Bash, and possibly wave 5.

But... as frustrating as it is to miss the 5 minutes or so he was available for preorder on TRU.com and to go to TRU very early to find out they got an extremely small shipment of them, I think this is a much better way to handle the rare variants each wave than to put 1 in every 20 cases with a "hey employee, sell me on ebay!" sticker slapped on the package.

My store only got 10 in. I got one of them but I got there about an hour early. I could only imagine what it would've been like if this item was promoted in an e-mail or had signs posted in the store.

Rain checks were made for 10 other people but they said it would come back in June. No solid date in June either so I can't imagine waiting 2+ months. Also I have seen stores unpack boxes of 6 so where did the other 2 go? 12 seems to be the consensus on the amount everyone should have get in.

At the one TRU I went to this morning that appeared to have more than 12, I saw one of the employees on his cell phone and he took a picture of the Blue Bash. I'm going to guess he was calling his buddies to come in and buy it for him.

Having worked retail, I can tell you most of the time, management frowns upon employees buying "special" stock. Especially if they advertise it and then have nothing to sell to customers that wait in line. But then again, not all stores and managers are alike, and some management has no morals. So yeah...it's a tough call.

I think I mentioned it in this thread, but I'm surprised that the TRU my wife went to still had a few left at 2PM today. It's in the middle of a big commercial area with lots of traffic. No line in the morning. My friend was the only one there at opening. On the other hand, 15 minutes north of that TRU, I was 5th in line and I got there 20 minutes before they opened.

I got there 30 minutes early and there was a line. My TRU had 12 and passed out tickets. The person in front of me got the last one, but they handed tickets to all the kids too. If your kid gets a ticket the parent shouldn't also. I just wanted one for my daughter for Easter. I had to get a rain check for June. Now I guess I'll tell her I got it for finishing the school year. I hate the scalper groups.

Mine only got 12 and everyone else got rainchecks. Silly lady in front of me tryed to start an arguement with me that this Bash was legendary lol

My TRU got so many L-Trigs that they have a basket full of them next to the regular Skylanders display. They were just tossed in there. Didn't do L-Trig justice. Poor little guy.

I think we had about a dozen also. The lady in line behind us got the last one.

hey! i was there too! well, i dont know where you went. i went to the one somewhere in between vancouver and oregon... i was first in line

I'm in Washington State and I haven't checked my local Toys'R'Us yet. My Toys'R'us is overrun and ruled by L. Trigger Happys. I've been seeing a lot of wave one, two and three, mostly Wrecking Ball, Hex, Double Trouble, Chop Chop, and Sonic Booms. I'll post here if I find anything out about Blue Bash. Good luck everyone !

We got ours the day it came out. I don't remember how many there were but shockingly no one was in line. If we'd wanted to, we could have bought them all [we bought 1].

i dont know how many mine got i was away when they came in but it looked like they got alot more than 12

has anyone played with their blue bash yet? or are you just keeping it as a collectors item in the packaging?

Australian TRU's are not as helpful in the skylander department they do not have any legendary and blue bash's.

Our is released, lvl 10 and maxed out! Turned him into the mega-roller like our L-Bash. We have other Bashes we took down the other path... I like the mega-roller as it makes him fairly unstoppable. Our L-Bash has done all of the HC's as well. He's a brute. Probably will do the same with B-Bash.

-VM

Ours is released & doesn't get playtime since my kid thought it was 'dumb' that he wasn't blue in-game
