Cynder is still relatively HTF just the value went down because she is not new anymore.

Cynder is NOT hard to find. Come to my store, we had DOZENS of Cynders, and they don't go flying off the shelves. Bought, yes, but not in droves. They sent us 40 boxes with Cynder in it.

I actually think some of the harder to find ones, at this point, in terms of singles, are Voodood, Prism Break, Boomer, Stealth Elf and Dino-Rang.

I still think Wham-Shell will be on that list. What store do you work at? What state? Cynder is hard to find in MI. I been to TRU and Best Buy and there were none there yesterday.

Toys R Us in NY. We get shipments 2-3 times a week of them.

Most recently a BUNCH of the Cynder wave singles, including Drill Sergeant, Chop Chop, Cynder, Whirlwind, Double Trouble and Flameslinger.

We also got in a LARGE amount of triple packs/adventure packs and the new wave consisting of Eruptor, Stump Smash, Sonic Boom, Drobot, Whirlwind and Bash.

The Skylanders have found long lost brother Wham-Shell at last! All that's left is to free him from his plastic prison.


Here his is in all his glory.



But wait, he has a twin???


They're so confused. Which one to release?


Thus the great Skylanders hunt of 2012 comes to a close. See ya'll in Giants...

Wow you got two? That must have cost a fortune! Congrats on being finished!

Open the one where the package looks the worse than keep the rest sealed

Just picked up 5 of em at Walmart in Washington!

One more for size comparison's sake.

Congrats. Saw a new listing on eBay from an Oregon seller. Has your WM received Camo or Warnado yet?

Oh and were they on the shelves already or did you have them unbox? Curious to what the assortment was

Wait wham shell is in the US!!!

Congrats Xero I know MI gets them last. Ill be surprised if I see them here before I get mine in the mail. I still haven't seen any Camo or Warnado since April 5.

I know I'm on the east coast but walmarts go some coming in so I'm gonna stop there after class

Nope...we haven't seen Camo or Warnado yet. My prediction was right. Midwest got Camo and Warnado. Coast cities got Wham-Shell first. I'm so stoked right now...Set is complete! And I didn't see any crystal ones unfortunately...and it is 1 per box. It is packaged as 98. The others included in the shipment were Stump, Cynder, Prism Break, Sonic and I forget the 5th.

So yeah...there ya have it. Skylanders set is complete! Cheers!

So wham shell is in the USA correct.?

Yes Rand....I am in in Seattle, WA area and I physically bought 5 at Walmart today.

I found Warnado and I'm in NY. A Gamestop got a shipment in of them. Missed Camo by 4 minutes. They are on the East Coast too.

Now i am really bummed. still no camo warnado and now probably no wham shell

I have just died. Tha ks xero! So happy

Seriously michigan gets everything last still looking for the last three walmart dosent hold and I've missed camo and warnado by a few minutes

Xero, so you're Sky Landers on the Skylanders trading forum? That pic you show belongs to him, as he shows proof to everyone there, that he has them.

I know the feeling all to well. I've been going to several stores every day looking for Camo, Warnado & Wham-Shell only to walk out with nothing but the feeling of disappointment.

Yes Rand....I am in in Seattle, WA area and I physically bought 5 at Walmart today.

xero, would you be willing to sell one for a not ridiculous 100$+ price?

Also, the picture of the Skylanders carrying him in box is HILARIOUS.

Our savior has ARRIVED!

I notice, that you don't have the Legendary characters. I could score one on Wednesday and trade that pack for one of the WhamShells if you'd like.

Edit: Wait, saw you weren't the one posting that picture without the Legendary ones.

Ugh...that picture is killing me.

What sucks even more is my local Walmart (5 minutes away) only has foreigners working the Electronics section. When I ask about Skylanders I get a really nasty response from them. Also, to make matters worse, I think they have boxes of Skylanders, but they aren't putting them all out at once. I've been to the Walmart almost every day now for the past week and they've had different Skylanders out. Not to mention, it doesn't look like the stock around the same time when they do it, so it's hard for me to time it right. I was able to score a Lightning Rod and Zook, but I'm sure I've missed the Camo/Warnado. And now I'm probably going to miss Wham-Shell. ARGH! WHY WALMART DO YOU TAUNT ME SO!!!

Nice score Zero...at least I know where to look. I won't waste my time at Target or Best Buy. Walmart looks like the best bet to find Camo/Warnado/Wham-Shell. Watch Target start stocking it...

Has there been a confirmed sighting of the last 3 pack? Sorry...off topic.

HE BOUGHT FIVE! HE'S A HOARDER! Welcome to the club, Xero.

So Walmarts on the east coast get Wham, while central states get Warnado and Camo. Man, Activision and their head games, LOL.

David Kirkham AKA Gamemaster78 Yes, I am indeed Sky Landers on the Facebook group. Took you that long to figure it out? One and the same my friend. And yes, I purchased 5 of them. 1 goes to me, as I have one more coming from Australia. And 2 go to Erica for a friend in Vancouver, WA and for a nice lady who has a little boy up in Vancouver, BC. She drives 3 hours to try to find them. So I am hooking her up at face value for them. And 2 will go to the group to have a drawing for winners for. I will not be scalping these. I also managed 4 of the volcanic vaults. 2 of which I will be donating to the group for a drawing I will be running tonight. I will ship them out free of charge to the winner. I heard you were a little butt hurt about where Erica got them. Well. I told you and everyone else now where we got them. So happy hunting everyone! My collections are officially done! If I do cross paths with any more of the figures, I'll be sure to hook the people in here that need them that I consider friends on here. They know who they are.

As for trades. I will be picking up my legendary 3 packs on Wed. So then I will Officially be complete.

Nah Vendetta not at these ebay prices. Thats where employees come in and buy them.

Employees who buy them to sell on eBay can suck it. Even if I have to wait until Christmas, there is no way I'm paying over retail for the last three figures I need.

Is yours tied up in customs, in LA?

Both of my packages, with the Whams, have been at some ICS (or ISC) since about the 12th or 13th. Any idea when customs clears?

That's awesome; were you helping them stock again??!

GM...remember me saying that Warnado and Camo are land characters, and Wham is of the sea? Seems to me, they actually played their shipments that way. Kinda ironic. If it makes you feel better. I have only scored 1 set of Camo and Warnado in person. The other sets came in the mail. So finding the Wham in person was extra sweet. And I really do want everyone to have a chance to get them...so I released the info to the entire group. If people are smart, they'll start bugging their stores about them. Now, the bigger issue is how to know when they'll hit the middle of the country. We've technically only seen Camo and Warnado at Gamestop here. Not at Walmart. I wonder if they'll hit there this week or as late as 3 weeks, which is about how long it's been. I've been expecting Camo and Warnado shipments at Walmart for awhile and everything is still on order. I just got lucky today. I got a tip, and happened to be in the city that had them for a doctor's appointment. I just timed it perfectly. They only got 6 boxes in. I didn't buy all 6. I could have been that guy. But I left 1...lol...yeah...I know...but some lucky sap will get at least one, right? Still sucks they shipped 6 total out of 36 figures...and a bunch of singles nobody needs anymore beyond Prism Break. If you see Prism Break in a single...you likely will find Wham or know he was there.

Gamemaster I called the Post Office today about that and the lady said they should be here by the end of the week. Im really not in a hurry anymore...

xerokills i live in washington would you be willing to shell me a whamshell or make a trade or somthing? im in tacoma

which walmart?

xerokills i live in washington would you be willing to shell me a whamshell or make a trade or somthing? im in tacoma

If you live in Tacoma, you should be hitting your stores about getting them. They hit Oregon as well. That means try Port Orchard, Bremerton, and Tacoma to see if they got any. You are talking 6 total figures if you're lucky. All are already spoken for. I wish I could help. I am just spreading the word so others can have the same fortune as me. Even GM78... So if you are diligent, you will score them. Good luck!

Shipments in WA come in between 2-5pm. So call early...walk in and scan their carts with new replenishment shipments. Boxes labeled with 98 are Wham, 97 is Camo and warnado....lower numbers in the 90-96 range are all the 1-4 waves.

Hmm. Interesting, Xero. Wouldn't it be ironic if Wham showed up at Gamestop in the land states, while Walmarts had Camo/Warnado, while in the east coast, Wham is at Walmart, while Camo/Warnado were at Gamestop?

What post office did you call, AboveSkylands? I don't know why mine hasn't updated, and only shows they arrived at some ICS, or ISC in Los Angeles, last week, but no updates since.

I'm good on my Wham Shells. If I went out to find any, it would be for others.

Gamemaster I called one in LA as mine says it is in LA

man i hope i can find one. i cant wait for whamshell!!!!!!

Im sick of going to the stores myself

I'm almost tempted to hit the other Walmart 15-20 minutes away....ugh!!!

I would call first dont waste all that gas for nothing

Yeah...it really is a crapshoot. My local one didn't have em. The ones above me did and the ones below me did...so it's still sporadic. I'm still gonna go again tomorrow to try to get more to help out others at cost...

I would, but the people I typically get on the phone are either a) not friendly or b) don't speak English really well. I have 3 Wal-Marts fairly close by. One is 5 minutes on my way to work. The other 2 are in the opposite direction. The one I have in mind is in a less busy area. 2 weekends ago, the guy told me they had so many boxes of Skylanders, they couldn't put them all out and had boxes behind the counter. It just happened that I was tied up that weekend!!! That was probably Camo/Warnado. Also, the Walmart further away was where I found Empire of Ice when it first came out. So I'm thinking they will get Camo/Warnado/Wham-Shell first, but it's quite a drive, only to find squat.

Not to mention, the Walmart further away is cleaner and kept more organized. My local Walmart is a war zone. I guess I'll be checking several times tomorrow and Wednesday. MUST FIND THEM ALL!!!!! I also need Prism Break and Voodood to finish my 2nd set (unopened collection).

Where's the Walmart in Seattle? Renton/Tukwila? Is there are Walmart in Issaquah? I lived in the Seattle area years ago, but I can't even remember where Walmarts are located. I think there's one up in Bothell too?

Pakman. Go into the store and ask to see the number on the side of the box they are packed in. You are looking for boxes that end in 97 and 98. Good luck

I hope they come to Vegas soon; my kid is gonna flip out 50x more than when we found camo/warnado last Friday!

There starting to show up everywhere then there not common but there is a few in Adelaide

Turns out Russia has horror stories at ISC Los Angelos I hope Austrailia has better success!

Yeah...I saw you mention that...unfortunately, the immigrant employees have no clue what I'm saying to them. I asked them today if they had more Skylanders in storage because there were only 3 on the rack. The guy gave me a blank stare, then got this other dude to talk to me. He started rattling on about how he hasn't been at work for 4 days and there were no more Skylanders. I find that hard to believe because I keep seeing different Skylanders on the rack everytime I stop by. Twice I've seen Lightning Rod on different days (one of which I took for myself, so I know it's new). I think someone here was posting about how people are stealing them. I wouldn't be surprised if that's happening at my Wal Mart. Anyway, it looks like they aren't putting out all of the boxes at once. Just slowly stocking the rack and then leaving the rest in storage.

What kills me about the one that's further away, the person that first answers the phone is SUPER SUPER friendly and speaks English. I ask her to put me through to Electronics. That person is REALLY unfriendly and unhelpful OR sometimes doesn't speak English well. Most likely Indian because I've seen him before.

I don't have a choice but to go in. But I'll look for those box numbers if I make the trek to the further store.

People in Electronics are always grumpy. They don't want to field phone calls. They want to sit on their butts and ring customers up and help only when they really have to. It's the easiest job ever. I'd gladly do it if it paid me what I make at my job now...lol. And everyone would get what they want too...if we had it at least. I'd even go in back and dig on shelves for ya.
