i know that feelin bruh

i think it will just take patience, lots of it, but looking excitedly everyday for the mail to come and be disappointed is really getting to me too.. i want my fuzzy stump smash...

Does anyone know when the side kicks promotion start?..

June 19 or something.

Does anyone know if there is a webpage up yet to find out the info?

Still nothing here for me, though I'm not too bothered with this anymore. I got more exciting things coming in the mail, so I'm able to wait it out patiently

Thanks failinhearts...


Still no Skylanders in the mail :l... I called over 6 Weeks ago. Hopefully tomorrow. I called & gave two different addresses too. I really want a stumpy for my son cause he is waiting so good for it too

I haven't revived any flocked stump smash yet

Quick get this one out of the package now its not breathing. Where did I put my skylander size ER paddles. Anyone know how to give CPR to a 3inch piece of pastic loosely shaped like a tree and covered in fuzzy fabric. Quick we are loosing him.

Sorry not sure why but I could not resist.

Lifeline from the GI Joes is standing by


We have a mobile medic tent for such a situation



GI Joe dio custom im working on

i see your problem! you called before the contest officially started.

Nice work Joedelta!

(Still no Skylanders here)

Okay..... I have some sidekick news. I taked to a Frito Lay vendor today. I asked if he had seen or heard anything about the next skylander promo for the 20ct bags. He laughed said absoutely and went out back. He came back out with about 20 of the Flocked Smash offer bags. This was not a Shaws/Osco/Albertson chain store so I was really confused. We talked and he claimed that these stores were so overflooded with the promo bags the vendors were asked to buy them back and were redistributing them. He was not sure if this was an area specific problem. He then checked his company notes for me. He claimed the current promoes involved a board game promo. The nest skylander promo was listed as four seperate events. (Maybe this means each sidekick will be given away seperately). This promo is scheduled to start the first Monday in July (about 2 weeks after others have claimed). Each skylander promotion is scheduled to last exactly 2 weeks making this event an 8 week long process to potentially grab all sidekicks. It appears to be a vendor distributed prootion and vendors at least at this point are not encouraging buyers to increase their product levels in anticipation of the skylanders because they felt let down by flock smash. These things may be hard to find.

I do know this vendor and he is known to know what he's talking about but things change and things get miscommunicated by vendors. At least I feel this information points e in the right direction

A board game promo? So is it going to be something like when McDonalds does Monopoly and we're going to have to collect stickers and fill a board? Strange...

Well that's intresting

No, the current 20 pack frito bags are promoting some board game until early july I don't remember which, this is unrelated to the skylander promo.

If anyone has multiple flocked SS and no one to give them to, I'll buy it from you for my 7-year old. His birthday is later this month.

I called once and won, but it didn't specifically say it was a flocked SS, so it'll probably be a Boomer or Wrecking Ball, which we already have and will give to his cousin.

No biggie if no one has multiples, but thought I would put it out there. Send me a PM if you can help.

Im still waiting for my code flocked stump smash to come. My finances still have come either. I'm still hoping soon I can't believe my friend got hers before me and I put a code in before her. She got hers a few weeks ago and I still haven't gotten one of those only thing I got was a random a few weeks ago. I am guessing I have to just be pacient.

The Sidekicks may be at E3! The following pics are from CAG's CheapyD.

Got home today from work and low and be hold guess what I found in my mail box.........

same here... sigh.

did the prizes stop arriving? or is just no one reporting them on here anymore? i know i have more coming.. and the friends i told about the contest havent gotten anything yet either.
so back to the original thought, just waiting till late july and then worry?

yeah, we still have a good 2/3 weeks of waiting

I always hope when the mail comes everyday. Nothing so far.

My fiancé just got a flocked stump smash. I'm still waiting for mine.

I received four random ones in 48 hours (2 addresses, 3 phone numbers). But none since. Maybe they got smart and started checking off people who won a prize. Even though it doesn't say "1 per address" anywhere, it sure feels like that. I'm betting they're out of the Flocked.

I am sorta feeling the same way....my friend got two flocked, but they spelled her first name different on each one (two "different" people to them). How can they just decide to limit our prizes?? ....when it is not stated in the rules?? Unreal!!! They HAVE to award the prizes. I am feeling more curious to send for the winners' list....I believe we have til 6/15 to do so.

I don't think there limiting but they could who knows. I'm still waiting for mine to come.

My mom and I won on call in a bunch of times, (sorry I lost count on how many) but we haven't received any figures yet. It did not say specific for a Flocked Stump Smash (which is the one I need as I have all the others) , did anyone else get a Stump Smash that is just said Congrats you won, or was it specific? We entered about the last week or two of the contest almost every day on both lines, so I am expecting some soon. Will report as soon as packages arrive.
Have a great day everyone and it someone could answer my question it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Sidekicks are now available. Frito Lay rep told me they are now in a grocery store near me - and an employee at Target said they came in, just not told to go out on the floor yet. Maybe this Sunday there will be a promotional endcap or display for them.

I looked at the frito lay bags last night in store, nothing yet....but I still haven't gotten any prizes yet either

Does anyone know if Sidekicks are American exclusive or will Canadian's be able to get them as well?

American^

Just out of curiosity (and fuel my evidence-less rumor that they're out), did the people who haven't received one yet ONLY call the Flocked number?

^I only won once and I only called the number for Flocked Stump Smash.

You told us skeptics we were just panicing, and that there was no reason we shouldn't worry. Now you're supporting the fact they might not show up for all of us, like us skeptics thought?

I won close to mid-April. Still haven't gotten 1 yet. That's been almost 2 months ago. So, anyone here still think I shouldn't worry?

Anyone actually send off for the winners list? That'd be a good way to find out

I won with 2 codes an have revived any of then yet. Idk though if I should worry

winning two months ago is roughly 8 weeks. it said 6-8 weeks. they probably didnt send it as soon as you won. thats the way im looking at it. and those were estimates for shipping anyways. im still not too worried. i feel like everyone will get theirs eventually.

That would be the best way to find out, I agree.

Up to this point, I still haven't received a Flocked; but my sister who called in a couple days after I did has received hers. I think things are just working really weird with getting the prizes out. :/

Seewolfe78 ordered the lists. Anyone who wants it has until June 15th to order it.

If Seewolfe78 would let us know when they get it, and maybe scan it that would be awesome

Panic mode was setting in practically within days of the contest ending!! I am not in panic mode, I just feel like people that won MANY times, are not getting the prizes. I have received everything I care to get. I tried to get extras, with hopes to "share". I was hoping to get "random" ones, so my daughter could have her own....if they are only sending boomers and wrecking balls...who cares if I never get anymore!! This promotion was poorly run, and I feel bad for the people who have yet to receive ONE. I am owed many more, that are legitimate wins, that i have email proof of winning.....and in my heart, I don't feel that they are coming. No panicking from me...just seems more than odd that nobody is posting any prizes arriving for WAY too long. There are enough of us that entered, that someone should be reporting a prize....and that just isn't happening.

The process of shipping both Flock Smashes and randoms has waxed and waned before. This is not the first drought and everytime there is one the board becomes stacked with "we ain't getting em" posts. I find it hard to believe that Frito Lay over announced winners. I still have some coming to most of which were going to help others. I think the promotion was organized and advertised VERY poorly. I also think that prizes are still coming it could be something as simple they are waiting for another producton run. We will not know more until everyone either gets everything they beieve they have won or we see a published winners list. The fact the winning list has not been sent out yet is odd.

edit: on a slightly related note anything its odd how they are mass producing free Boomers and it appears Boomer may not get a repose for the Giant game.

I certainly hope you are right!! Thanks for staying positive!

I think we're in another "prize slump", rather than they're not coming at all. I do agree that this has been a shambles of a promotion from the get-go, from advertisiing, to distribution, what a mess. I don't think they finished processing wins at this point. Granted this is just as much speculation as any other guesses on the boards. I did request the winners lists for both the 800# promotion, and the 866# (I don't have a scanner, and I have no intention of retyping that many winnings myself, but I will for sure let everyone know when they arrive!). My thought is this... When I receive the winners list, I'll be able to safely assume that all the winnings have been fully processed, then I'll hold out hope for 2 or so weeks (since the shipping service they are using is not only slow, but often roundabout). At that point, I think we can safely assume that no more prizes will be arriving. Until then, we can only guess, but this seems most logical to me, so that's where my minds heading on the matter. Either way, congrats to everyone that's gotten theirs and good luck to those of you still awaiting your spoils!

The contests had two different telephone numbers. If you dialed the 1-800 number and won, that was the flocked stump smash entry line. If you dialed 1-866 number and won, it was for a random skylander. This is why it didn't state what you won...your entry depended on the phone number you dialed.

Kinda late in posting this....I got one flocked stump about 2-3 weeks ago. Won by phone 10+ times on 866 number, and won several times on the 800 number. The 800 number wins came later in the promo for me, so it's a little weird to have one stump and no randoms. No worries for me since at least I got one.

I want to send out for a "list of winners" do i just send them an stamped evelope with my address on it inside an envellop with there address on it?
