Found 2 of each in Austin, TX last night. 4 hours and 4 Wal-marts and a ton of gas. The employees at Wal-mart don't even know how it works. I first went to the Walmart by me, which was completely out of Skylanders. Then I asked them to look up the SKU posted at the beginning of this thread. They said there were 48 on order. Apparently that means 8 boxes - they come in boxes of 6 I learned last night. I asked them to check if any other stores in the area have any in stock. 3 others said they had 48, 94 and 111 in stock. Two of the other Wal-marts I went to had a few Skylanders on the shelves, but not Warnado or Camo. I told them I was at a different store and that they looked up the SKU and that the system showed they had a bunch at this store. Two of the stores looked in the back, but only had boxes with the usual ones in it. The store that said they had 48 brought out the last two boxes from the back. I watched them unpack the box - it had 4 of the regulars (Eruptor I think, and a few others), and packaged at the bottom in each box of 6 was one Warnado and one Camo. If they try to look up the SKU on their computers, it won't pull up - you have to tell them to look it up on their little scan guns. From their they can look up more stores in the area. Apparently the SKU listed on Wal-mart's website is a generic SKU, and doesn't necessarily mean they have any Warnado and Camos (like two of the stores I went to). And the number listed is just the number of single packs of Skylanders in stock, not how many Warnados or Camos they have in stock. I learned a ton last night about how the Walmart inventory works. You just have to ask someone to go look in the back. Good luck finding your Warnados and Camos! My son and I now only have 1 Skylander left to find - WhamShell....until this fall when Giants comes out ;-)

WOW awesome job, congrats!

I just called one of my local Walmarts, and I asked them to check up Camo by his stock number, and they said they have that item in stock. What do you guys think?

You should have requested the person to check it ..."Can you do me a favor? I've spend half my gas tank looking for it. Can you check if you really have Camo because the last 2 stores said the same and I ended up going home empty handed"

Just to share my experience and thanks to this site, I had put off getting the Skylanders starter pack for awhile, the wife was against it, till last thrusday when we found it on sale, and she loves it, We then went around searching high and low for figures, by monday I had all but Prism Break, Voodood, Cynder, L Rod, Zook, Flameslinger, Dragon's Peak (which I had in my hand at TRU a few hours prior to buying the starter set, ack!), Camo, Whamshell, Ignitor and Warnado. On Monday before work I started calling around found a gamestop with flameslinger, I asked them to hold it and went in, when I got there I saw they had just recieved a shipment and asked the clerk if she could open it, Lo and before Prism Break Voodood Bomber Triple pack along with the Cynder L Rod and Zook pack.

Then I found this post and I had been stopping by walmart after work for a few days, usually to be told what was on the self was all they had, After being told that was all they had, I presented the UPC code, and he didn't know how to put it in so he got someone else, Who told me there were 9 boxes of Single packs in the back and they had been there all week and she offered to bring them all out.

So I start digged through lots and lots of wave 4 stuff, found ignitor, kept looking, on the 6th box lo and behold camo and warnado! I probably should have finished looking, but I got so excited I took those 3 and left. Now I can pretty much stop by and they'll pull the boxes out for me, Just looking for any of the rare varients, etc and another camo and warnado to keep unopened, but today they pulled up the inventory and on the list of figures now it actually lists Whamshell and another said "reserved character", So keeping my fingers crossed.

Thankfully this walmart, is not home to scalpers, as the other two have told me they have one guy who comes in everyday and buys all the stock, sham

I just wanted to thank you guys for info and share my story, Now to find Whamshell, the legendaries and a finished an unopened set.

BTW this is in Georgia, and they have plenty of cynder zook, L-rod and such if you need some help and your close by just let me know I'll be happy to help

Although if you feel like double posting, I've found out (by living on the edge) the internet, in fact does not blow up.

yeah, when i am saying something completely different, i will double post. and if it offends anyone, i am sorry. internet police will probably come and get me though.

Just back from Walmart with Camo and Warnado in hand! This is the Walmart on Chastain Meadows Rd. in Kennesaw Ga. No other Walmarts in the area have the figures, nor do any of theGameStops or Best Buys.

They had six apiece, and I had to ask the employee to check in back. Brought out the boxes and there they were.

..and, since I've developed a soul at some point, I only bought one of each. I'd rather you guys and all the kids get them over making a quick buck on some eBayer who doesn't know any better.

Keep hunting and you'll find what you want. I'm living proof!

GRATS, VINZ!

Now it is time for you, brother Vinz, to join the G.W.S.O.N.A.C. where our goal is to bring brother, Wham home, who is captured by the evil Barbie and Ken, who plan to turn him into crabcakes. Of course, that's just a front. We know I have every Wham Shell in North America. I am hoarding them. However, I will let each go for the small price of 500 dollars Buy It Now. I plan to retire.

Man this is frustrating seeing so many people find them the past couple days. I've got so many stores around me and there's been no sign of them at all.

Takes out my second pair of Sunglasses...

It sux to be the last one to the party, but you guys can take our finding them as good news. That means they ARE out there, and with all these people finding them you shouldn't have to wait too much longer.

...and Stormbringer? Why not just pick up the 3DS version? It comes with 2 guys you need (only one of which - Ignitor - I've ever seen in a single pack) and I think it's pretty cheap now. Like between 30 and 40 bucks... Only a few dollars more than a three pack or adventure pack. Even if you don't have a 3DS, you'd have 2 new Skylanders. You could probably sell the game itself on eBay for a few bucks. Since Gill is my favorite Skylander, i want everyone to have him. That, and you'd get a different poster than the one that came with the console version, and you'd even get a second portal, which is slightly different than the console ones. Just an idea.

I found A Warnado at the Wal-mart in Gainesville, GA, but have had no luck in the Buford or Cumming Wal-mart, and I am looking daily! (

I think you're all asking way too much if you expect cheery service from an employee who loves their job and is happy to be there. Help is one thing, but personally, I don't think minimum wage is worth having a good attitude for. Blame the corporations for that part. But if they're really not helping, that's another matter...

i dont know about how walmarts back room is set up, but i work at a big grocery store and the back room literally has no order. there are pallettes of random stuff back there and so to look for something is incredibly difficult and since i am working for $7.25 an hour i dont ever dig through stuff to look. so i understand their unhelpfulness. but i feel like their back rooms are probably a lot more organized.
