i am pretty sure they said allow 6-8 weeks for delivery...

@evil spyro: yes I know, but some people got it early than that I think so I just wanna make sure. Thanks responding though.

Yeah. Now that I think about it, didn't they say 6-8 weeks for delivery?

Can someone PLEASE answer my question about how many weeks it took for someone to get flocked stumpy, counting day before shippment email. I kinda wanna know what week to expect him. SO please this would be a big help if you answered my question.

My friend won on 4/12, with an online code....and received her Flocked Stumpy on 5/14. Nobody winning via the 800# has gotten a prize...that we know of.

I won on 4/05, and 4/06...and have yet to receive mine. I don't know how helpful you think this is gonna be, since there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to what order they are fulfilling the prizes in.

They should honor each person/address at least one figure but they might just come up with an excuse for not sending anything. Keep in mind that when you won it said that the prizes would be sent within 6 to 8 weeks of verification. So they might still be verifying people so the prizes aren't necessarily sent out the same day that you called in, meaning if you added six or eight weeks to the day that you called in and won, the date that you get might not be the date for you to expect the figure due to Frito Lay taking longer to validate your information. This is just my guess though, they might verify the information right away.

Thank you postal. So it is just random then. Weird, cuz I got min around the last week of April. So I'll probably get it in June.

I totally agree opal. They should honor it. Why not make more. Oh that's right activison is in a court case right now so they can't make more. What A joke. They should make more but all they give is excuses. Plus, it's not fair because all those people who got more than 10 might get their name pulled like three times and the person who only called once might not get anything. What they should do is limit one or two per person so everyone gets one. Then mayb thy will have enough.

Which would be the exact reason I've been basing the end of my "8 weeks" mark as being 8 weeks from the END of the contest, not 8 weeks from when I won. As previously stated, the online prizes are much easier to process, it's not guessing, it's data entry. The phone winnings are going to be tougher to process due to human error in translating what we said into the phone. And on top of that there's nothing to say that they started processing the phone wins before the contest completed (most likely they started before that, but no guarantee.) And beyond that, there's that fact that from what we've seen, they are not processing the wins in order (day 1 win first, etc.). All in all, this means that until the contest has been over for 8 weeks there's really no telling what will happen, but there's also no reason to be flipping out in the meantime worrying over where your prize(s) are.

There is no answer to your question. I've called before most people and I still havent received mine.

okay, one flocked stumpy arrived... post pictures of it here... plz... with sugar on.

@kappa: We've had over 20 people win flocked stumpy. The picture I took of mine is a few pages back.

.....and there is a link to mine too, out of the pkg!

i still didnt get my packages, its been several weeks now. i wonder if they got the address wrong? help, im paranoid!

Haven't received mine either, but it's from the 800 number. I'm worried of course, but I know there's still time.

wait 6 to 8 weeks from the END of the contest. it ended may 5th, so, middle of july. after july we will all worry.

Yea im worried mine won't come. Because my friend used a code after I did and got hers already. Mine still hasn't come she got here's almost 2 weeks ago. But I'll start worrying after the times up who noes they could all show up 2mar.

just out of curiosity; has anyone who won using the phone system...actually received anything yet?

yes, but very, very few have been from phone wins.

the fact that there are only 7000 (compared to the other skylanders, which have had millions made) scares me, i know i rightfully won, and im afraid someone else would get the item.

I only used the phone calling and I won a Wrecking Ball that I posted a couple pages back! However I did call multiple times sooo who knows if I'll get anything else haha

This thread has gotten pretty useless. I think we need an official "My Prize Didn't Come Today" topic.

Also an "OMG I'm Never Gonna' Get My Prize Because Of _________________" topic.

And add to that the "What Does 6-8 Weeks Mean" topic.

I liked seeing when and where prizes were arriving, and really appreciated Seewolfe78's tally's, but now it's just silly.

:/

Sorry haven't been updating the tally as much, as not much has arrived.

Looks like I've gotten the first stumpy from calling in!?!? It's mine, my friend called for me...I gave her one web code and the rest were 800 calls...this is her second arrival, so it has to be from calling in, yay!!!!

Sweet! Congrats Postalgoddess!

Congrats Postal! I guess that means all the Stumpys from calling will turn up shortly?

Congrats and thanks for the update Postal!

I got a flocked stump smash today. the first time i have gotten a figure yet. And i won through calling.

I just got my Flocked Stump Smash. This is my second Skylander figure I received from calling in

Just received a Flocked Stump Smash today. Won through calling.

This morning I also received a flocked stumpy from calling in.

the voice on the phone said i won a flocked stump smash, and a random. my birthday is in the end of june and it would be epic if they came on my birthday. also, how do you make the pics of the skylanders at the bottom?

Lucky I still haven't revived mine yet

Got a flocked stump smash in the mail today.

Had only entered through the phone. Although I did enter a billion times so wonder if I'll get any more.

My wife got her Flocked Stumpy today, so did my brother.
I might have 2 going to my mother-in-law's house - shall know Saturday.
All from calling in on the 1st day it was possible to win. Also for those who gave street address and city/state together (which both me and my wife did) they still shipped it.

Wow, exciting day everybody! Congrats!

....told you guys nothing shows up on Monday's!! That was starting to get depressing!! I still haven't personally got any in the mail at my house!! Glad I got an extra (to save in the package!) I was getting nervous that we opened the first one!

Does frito sends tracking numbers?

^ there is a tracking number on the package, but it's for their purposes....it is not provided to us.

^ok so OT just comes at a random time then?

Pretty much, that's the problem...nobody knows when to expect anything!!!

At least you guy's in the states got this promotion us here in Australia will not see this promotion so the only chance we will get to add a flocked stumpy or sidekicks to our collection is of one of three ways.
1. We have a friend/relative in USA and they send us one. (This is out for me as i do not.)
2. We find a generous person on these forums that is willing to send it over here for postage. (unless someone reads into this post and pm's me hint hint lol)
3. We find one ridicualously over priced on that site we all know and loath I mean love, ebay. (and this is not going to happen for me as I refuse to pay the prices for a toy that I know will go for big bucks)

And same goes for when sidekicks is released.

So if you guys/gals thought you had won 10 and only recieved one be grateful you have had the chance to even participate in this promotion and think of us on our island of Australia.

I got my Flocked Stump Smash yesterday from calling in. I only got one so far though and I "won" multiple times...

A few pages back, didn't one person claim to get 10 flocked stumpies in one day? That claim is starting to seem like a fib, as no one else has reported getting more than one or two. (Still no prizes here)

If you're referencing this post, then I've bolded your answer.

I got 12 boomers, 15 wrecking balls, and 17 stump smashes in the mail today...all from chip codes. PS, I ate all the chips already too...boy they were good!! Haha, just kidding. I didn't get anything, but I wanted to post something fun!!

And this person claims to have gotten three Flocked Stumpys in, so I guess it is possible, if you won via web codes:

Got 3x Flocked Stumpys yesterday via 3 Web Codes

Quote: ItsJustMe

I just got home to find a pile of six boxes. I opened them to find five flock smashes and a wrecking ball. I won five flocks from codes so I think these might be those. WB was over the phone. I am quite content with this shipment anything else I get will be nice but I have what I really wanted.

This was post #178 and I hink I might hold the record for most flock smashes and overall prizes in a single day. The five Flocks in question were deffinately all won from chip codes and were entered over the period of about two weeks under two different names (four as myown and one in my wifes). In addition I have not received any other prizes since or before this although I also won quite a few times over the phone.

There is speculation that they may be limiting the amount of prizes given over the free to enter hotline it has been seemingly proven that they seem to be honoring all chip code wins (customer paid something to enter the contest).

Let me say it again, I won with 5 chip codes at the start of the contest...3 stumpys, 2 randoms....I have received ZERO of those prizes. Speculate all you want.

There honestly seems to be no distribution pattern to how they are shipping these things. I have to admit looking for one or pretending to see one is driving people crazy.

I'm sure the speculating is not helping, but it does seem like there are far more chip code wins, at least so far.

Any update on Sidekicks?
