The woman I spoke to just said that our TRU got 500 Skylanders in stock. I was thoroughly surprised by this, and asked if she can check for Camo/Warnado.
Her response was, "Sorry, for me to physically look through to see if we have two characters will take too long, you need to come to the store to check".
She went on to say the only UPC's (I believe this is the word she used) she can check for is Legendary Trigger Happy and Blue Bash. I asked about Blue Bash (figured I might as well), she said they don't have any now, but will be getting some in June.
Looks like I have to take a 20 minute drive to see if they have Camo/Warnado....

As unfortunate as that is i can see the reasoning. At 6 skylanders a bow that means that she would have had to open up a little over 80 boxes which would take a lot of time. As much as we try to help customers there r just some things we can not do :/

That's lame. I wish TRU employees could help better sometimes.
Best of luck! Hopefully she wasn't just pulling your leg!

I hope you get em! This would also be the first Camo/Warnado find that wasn't at Walmart (GameStop had them for order, but none of the stores have gotten them yet).

I can understand when you are busy helping customers in the store. Then yeah, you always help who is physically there first. But if you are leaning on the counter texting your douchy friends. How about you earn your minimum wage and do some work?

Update: Good news and bad news.
The good news is I did end up getting Camo and Warnado! The bad news is that it wasn't from TRU. When I arrived there, there was nothing from Wave 5. I went out to grab lunch with my girlfriend, and we decided to stop at our local Gamestop to pay off our pre-order on Diablo 3. While we were there, we saw about ~20-30 Skylanders lined up behind the counter. Literally managed to grab the last Warnado, surprisingly there were lots of Camo's though. Now just need to find Wham Shell!

I also found Camo today at Gamestop, and mine also had more Camo than Warnado. According to the cashier they did receive a few more Camis than they did Warnado.

Same here.
After reading that some people found Camo & Warnado at GS today, I stopped by, and and sure enough, they had them! Snagged one of each, and they still had a couple of each left. If anyone lives in the Columbus, Ohio area, it was at the Gamestop across from Easton Mall near the Best Buy. And speaking of, I did also check the BB to see about the Wham Shell thing from the other post, and they hadn't heard anything. Ah well. Only Ol' Whammy left to get now! |

No, I need Blue Bash before AJA. Woe is me. I need 5 of them.
Grats on the find, guys. Glad to see everyone getting their Camo/Warnado fix.

I've got a blue Bash. Still mint in box. I'll trade 1:1 for Wham Shell, but I'll listen if you think you've got a &&& amount in mind.

East Coast, specifically NJ. I had a much MUCH easier time in the Midwest though, specifically Chicago. That's where I'm originally from; and when I went there to visit over Spring Break I found like 70% of the Skylanders I have today.

I think i know the reason for the extra camos. The boxes i saw unpacked infront of me contained 1 warnado and 2 camo's.

Hmm, well when I went there it was over a month ago. I was only like 1-2 weeks into Skylanders at the time (so fairly new to it). I ended up getting all 3 Adventure Packs, Legendary Trigger Happy, Legendary 3-Pack, and three other triple packs. So 16 Skylanders total. I guess 19 if you count the 3 that came with the 3DS Starter Kit. I guess I was off by guesstimating 70%, more like I got 50%, or half, of my Skylandes in Chicago. What County you in? I was in Cook, near Rosemont/Park Ridge/Des Plaines.

Hmm, I'm not sure. That's not too far off from where I was at. I believe that's about ~45 mins away. Most of the stuff I found was TRU (Niles), Best Buy (Niles), Best Buy (Norridge), Target (Rosemont), Walmart (One was in Niles, the others were random suburbs way out of my area. The only thing I managed to get there was Cynder), and then multiple Gamestops (Rosemont, Mount Prospect, Niles, Harwood Heights, and Bensenville). I actually picked up ALL 3 Adventure Packs in one shot at the Bensenville Gamestop -- They literally only had four, one of each and an extra Pirate Seas.
