Done and done! Thanks so much for your help!

Lander

Southern-Thank you for helping out

Agreed thanks for helping me get a pair of Wham-Shells!

Now to track down:

2 Camo
2 Warnado
1 Ignitor

and I'm done until giants! Then the madness begins again!

Southernchigga I sent you a message on Ebay.

Southernchigga, I pm'd you. I'm definitely interested in purchasing. In my pm, however, I asked for your eBay I'd to look at your feedback - nevermind that, as I see now from reading more of this thread that you are already vouched for. Let me know if you can help, and thanks for the opportunity regardless.

has wham shell even showed up in stores in the USA

He is not answering his PM's but is checking his e-bay acount

If you want to contact him I suggest using this. I will also vouch for this guy.

Yeah, I wondered about that and also sent him a message via eBay, but haven't heard back from him yet. I'm sure I will, though.

Well, three Whams down, two to go. One person in Aussie has helped me get 3. There is another helping me get 2, but that one is via a trade, plus a free gift for them being nice enough to trade. Just have to pay shipping.

Can't wait to be done. Furthermore, I can't wait for this person to get figures Australia should have gotten to begin with, like the US should have gotten Wham Shell.

Silly head games by Activision.

Any future Whams are up for grabs. I will keep an eye out for everyone.

congrats GameMaster

Thanks. While I seemingly have this love/hate relationship with Activision, solely based on how they've been treating customers needing new figures, it makes me mad that everyone can't have what they're looking for.

They should be sending out as much of Camo, L. Rod, Warnado, Zook, Ignitor, and Wham Shell as they are older figures.

Despite claiming this victory, I know others aren't so lucky. It just makes me want to flip Activision the bird... or moon them.

My eyes are out to help others get Whammy, though. Brother Whammy is coming home, thanks to two helpful Australians.

It's probably something they planned from the start. Possibly so kinda of things went down with Australia wanting more skylanders. Same goes of here in the US. So they decided to tick us off by splitting the wave 5 skylanders. So they got one, wham shell, and we got two, camo and warnado. Seeing how Skylanders was created in the US, they decided we should have to just because, thus showing that we USians try to b superior to others. Either that or someone schrewed up in the business made only Australia get wham shell and Us get the other two. Now they say it's all apart of the plan. Imagine, one guy caused this to happen.... Who wants to go teepeeing...l

See, Rand. They shouldn't have treated it like that, though.

When wave 5 released, EVERYONE should have gotten a chance at all three characters from wave 5.

It's like they like playing head games.

It's just silly. I'm off to check some Walmarts to help others. Report back with any findings.

You are totally right. Why split? Theyve got more ticked off people at them now. It's just so confusing. Hopefully we see him soon. Good luck at Walmart.

GM: I think it's awesome that you help all these people out, great job!

Thanks, Alca. Went to two Walmarts blindly, but home now. One of those Walmarts, was where I scored my Warnado and Camo. Nothing.

I have a friend working tomorrow, I think. I will have him check using the instructions ItsJustMe provided and let anyone know what I found out.

GameMaster FYI I am the one that got Southernchigga to sell the Skylander Wham-Shell for 50.00 a pice. Just letting everyone know. I have all the emails to prove it.

$50 for Wham Shell seems like a lot. If it's exclusive to Australia, maybe it's not so bad, but I'm not paying that much for it now.

Zook It actually is not a lot of money. Id spend the money to save the headache later. Its the best deal right now going on for a Wham-Shell. There is only about 1500-9000 Wham-Shells available in Austraillia right now. I imagine even less will come to America.

Well, do we know if it'll stay like that, or will Wham Shells come out here eventually? If they will come here, I think it's worth the wait.

Very true, Skylands. It's what I really meant to say. People who contribute, or just post often, is who I wouldn't mind giving the info to.

Zook, true. 50 bucks seems like a lot. However, one sold for 232 dollars. The fact Chigga is willing to go that low, or lower, is a lot more helpful, when Chigga could have gotten 100+ out of them.

Then, there are Ebay and Paypal fees to eat, so 50 or below, isn't as much of profit as Chigga would probably liked to have had. So, in essence, it's helping.

I agree Gamemaster. Chigga is a good guy. Im going to help him out with what he needs.

Sooooo...lemme get this straight...We're helping scalpers now? And okay with it, 'cause "it's only $50"?

Wham-Shell and Ignitor are the only 2 I need. But I remember not that long ago, Cynder was impossible to find. So was Stealth Elf single. Now I see them everywhere....

since it was easter weekend Big w at victor harbor was the only one open so it was the only one that got new stock so my guess is that there is gonna be stores filled with them this week

One more post til 230!

I agree GM and a ty to you and specially to chigga for helping me get a couple Whammies iam stoked cant wait to get them, and to the $50 debate i look at it this way id waste all that time and gas money trying to find them its worth it to me $40 over retail is close to a full tank of gas that ill save now

I don't know what he told everyone else but when I asked he wanted $40 plus $15 shipping. If your sending him a Paypal payment you can send it as a gift so there is no fee's. So he's not losing any money on these at all he's just making a profit.

It is annoying that there is just one more to get before most of us are done. I only want one Wham-Shell and I would give it to my sister. Overall, we have them all, very few doubles. Separately, we have about 13 characters each. We just play the game and it makes it fun on PvP that way.
Waiting is annoying but it is worth it because I am not paying over twice as much for a figure that will be released in the US soon.

I got my pair of Wham-Shells Im just missing my pair of Warnados and Camos!

One of the two people helping from Australia, was kind enough to sell me 3 for 25 bucks each.

I talking to him he at post office waiting for it to open. He is an awesome guy. I just traded him two figures he needed for two more Wham-Shells Im getting 3 Wham-Shells Total. He needs Pirate Seas and Dragon's Peak and Darklight Crypt. Also empire of ice. If anybody can help him out there. He will gladly trade too.

I have an extra dragon's peak!

Alcatalog You need to email him on ebay. http://myworld.ebay.com/southe...984.m1423.l2754

No, THIS IS SPARTAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

hopefully he will still have some or they wil be available in 3 weeks when i have money again stupid bills >.< i have no problem paying 50+ shipping at all

FYI I just got the tracking number from Southern for my package. Everybody should be reciving theres shortly.

It's interesting that Wham Shell is not readily available even if in "limited quantities". However, I think like all the other figures to date, he'll be everywhere soon enough. I only lack Wham and Ignitor. I'm not buying a 3DS starter pack just to get Ignitor, so I'll wait until I find him retail in a single pack. I also don't have any of the legendaries, but I don't have much interest in them. I've seen them everywhere lately as well, especially legendary Trigger Happy.

Domer

Southern is ignoring his messages. Im suppose to get one from him however dunno why he wont write me back. Guess he sold them out.

He's not ignoring them.

It's 1:08 their time, Sarge. He's probably asleep. He should get some good sleep for all of us he has helped.

I always forget that for some reason. How long does it take for us to receive packages from australia.

Im going to walmart tpday to see if I can buy 34 camos and warnados. Ill ost them on ebay for retail price so pricks like the other oster dont make any money.

Well, based on when I imported Xenoblade (best RPG every I must add) from Europe to the US, I got it within 9 business days. That was very bare shipping, with no tracking.

One wham shell shipped yesterday but had no tracking # which sucks. Good to hear chigga gives trackong #s

Hey all. I've been reading on here for a while now but just got around to actually making an account to post, BUT, I do have an interresting tidbit about this.
Aside from the constant searching my girlfriend and I do for the characters, I have a couple friends from work that check the opposite sides of town (I live in Columbus, OH) when they are out too, just in case.
Mind you, the only ones we are still missing are Camo, Warnado, and Wham Shell. We've been pretty luck in finding the kids everything else.
But one of my friends was at a Target the other day and saw, with her own eyes, a Wham Shell! But alas, before she could get ahold of me to verify that I did indeed still need it, someone else had snagged it.
I was bummed, but at least it did give me hope that they ARE out there, you just have to be quick on the draw. I DID at least feel better that from what she told me, it was a pretty clueless mom who had a list from her kids as to which they still needed, so I know it went to another deserving person, not an ebay-er.
So, keep up the search! I've been to Target about every day since hoping to luck out, but the best I had seen was I went to one and they were setting out 2 of the 3-packs with LR and Zook, and that was at 6 in the evening! I was tempted to buy it just cause I was lucky enough to be there RIGHT when he was setting them out, but decided against it since we already have them, and I knew that it would make some other kids' day to find them there.

Only if you paid the extra $ for tracking though.

Don't forget, this is GameMaster we're talking about.

Well I have still yet seen another Camo or Warnado that I got last week from Wal Mart. I have three WHam-Shells coming. Im glad I dont have to call or look anymore. IMO Southernchigga is the best person to go to for these because he is right there at the store that gets them in which is Big W in Austrailia.
