Carmi... though I've heard from some of the other stores in the area that they've gotten them as well.

independence, mo has them. the 39th street one. none of the other ones had them. so, if youre around here. there you go, they had plenty.

Oh, I bet scams like that are already taking place. Not everyone knows about the black gears or darker crimson paint of the original exclusive Drill Sergeant, and there will be plenty of people duped on eBay as a result.

On a side note, this is actually a pretty cool variant. We may go grab another to remove it from the package; I'm betting it looks awesome on the portal.

I think I already found a fake:

Take a look at the second picture in the auction. Looks like the regular paint job with the silver gears and brighter red after the Walmart exclusives were done with. Also the sellers other auctions are for silvers that can also be faked. Looking at the low feedback rating of the seller I wouldn't trust it either. Everyone beware of fakes like this.

Yup, silver gears... that one's a fake.

I just obtained two WERDS's from my local Walmart in WA, thanks to TheFireInside's information =)! Good luck to everyone looking for one.

are they removing the sticker from the new ones and putting it on regular drill sergeants?

^ I wouldn't be surprised if that's what they're doing =/.

If you need a quick identifier, the UPC on the original Walmart Exclusive is different from the mass market edition. I don't have the UPC for the original WM exclusive handy right at this moment though (and don't have the mass market edition single pack at all)...

^ The code on the bottom of my Walmart Exclusive is E3111 and on the single pack non-exclusive one, it's W0121.

Is that in a different country, Opal?

Here in the US, the UPC's for exclusive and non-exclusive are -

Exclusive: 047875841765
Non-exclusive: 047875842885

Taken from the exclusive and non-exclusives hanging on my wall. It also lends more to the idea that the exclusives can be collector's items alongside the variants, since they have their own UPC's and all.

^ Sorry, I mixed up factory stamp codes ( the code stamped on the bottem of each figure) with the UPC.

Got one at my local Wally in Springfield, IL. They had around 30 so these "variants" aren't gonna be all that special me thinks.

anyone know if this is a U.S. only release or will it be hitting Canada as well. I would love to grab a werds for my son to go with the blue bash we got today.

I just got 3 red drill serargant one for me my fiance and my friend they had a ton there still

At least 24 WERDS have shown up in Central PA.

picked up 2 in WI.

EDIT: if someones wondering if they are at lvl. 5 and have coins, they do.

I just picked up a red at Walmart, they had quite a few there.

Spotted a few today in the Cuyahoga/Cleveland area. The first one had about 10 or so, and the second had 3 left on the shelves.

Got 1 Today in Massachusetts They had About 30

Yep Just Reported it. Looks exactly like my Drill Sergeant I got from the DS Single Pack i got

YAY! I got my WERDS!

I went to the Walmart on West Florissant in St. Louis, this afternoon, and they had several on the shelf. I picked up one and there were at least four or five left.

This was the easiest time I've ever had finding a particular Skylander!

Quote: Tempest

I hope it was GM78! I know he wouldn't buy it without confimration about it being real, but I love seeing him update his Skylander vault!

Well, looks like he's got it already!

this is my favorite variant ever, because we are all finding and getting them. im glad this forum is here. we knew about it first, like before scalpers really got a chance to bounce. what a happy variant. now if only theyd do that with other variants... (i still want the ice skylanders)

Right exosquad, this is a big turn of events in the Skylander hunting community. TAKE THAT SCALPERS!

I just walked into walmart today and there was 30 of them on the shelf if anyone has a Wham Shell for trade I will trade them for it

OMG I'm SO missing on it! I'm not on the US because of a summer trip but I'll come back at the end of June and as soon as I get there I will be getting 2 (one boxed, one unboxed) since I hear they're overflowing and I might be considering getting a blue bash. Now I will be hunting on variants since I still need Wham but he's not on the US yet so...

Do you have a picture/link of it?
Ebay's completed listings setting is only showing keyword spam entries (non-Camo customs, regular Camos, anything in between)

pic of clear red camo or it didnt happen....

I hope they come out in Italy as Blue Bash

While I don't believe the members of this forum could have possibly missed this, I'll keep an open mind. Can you please find the listing and show us? We'd love to see it, and I can't find it on eBay. Thanks!

*sob* Still none at my Walmarts in Massachusetts. There are two Walmarts near me. One has never carried Skylanders and the other is always behind on stocking new ones. Hopefully they don't miss out on this completely!

Glad to see everyone getting in some variant action.

This is, in my opinion, how they should have handled the variants. Release them in boxes of 6 for a limited time. This makes them obscure in the long run, but everyone can say they had a chance when they first released.

I mean... it's more money for Activision. You would think they love money, lol.

Quote: Dunkin

Hmmmmm thats strange, I don't ever recall seeing anything about such a variant anywhere myself. Looks cool but I would have to guess this isn't legit, if it is, none of us have surely heard of it before. (At least I don't think) :/

Yeah, guys... I don't think this is legitimate. Someone faked it.

WERDS has made it to Florida. My husband snagged me the last one while at work today. Woot.
So east coast peeps be looking out now!

I found some WERDS in Florida. They were hiding behind regular DS.

Has anyone found out how many of these were made? Or if Walmart will restock them? I'm curious if this is going to be like blue bash how he was stocked only twice at toys r us and that was it. Wonder if they got just this shipment and that's the end of em.

any sign in ASDA UK yet?

any sign in ASDA UK yet?

I don't know but I don't think I want one... and I think we should call it ARDS when we do get it here in the UK to make a point... I really don't understand why everyone is calling it WERDS anyway... they don't call blue Bash TRUEBB do they?

I got mine today. I counted 21 ish other Red Drill Sergeamts. Mine was still in a plastic bag when I found it.

I was thinking of that after WERDS was coined.

Walmart Exclusive Red Drill Sergeant = WERDS = Words
Toys R Us Exclusive Blue Bash = TRUEBB = Troo-bee-bee
Glow In The Dark Wrecking Ball = GITDWB = Git-duh-whuh-buh
Frito Lay Exclusive Flocked Stump Smash = FLEFSS = Fleh-f-s
Etc., etc., etc.

For you UKers, it would be AWESOME if Asda got the red Drill Sergeant. Only, I'd add the word "new" to it:

New Asda Red Drill Sergeant...

http://www.sadtrombone.com/

Got 2 werds in Ashland VA.

Got mine, he's so beautiful I could cry (Not really, but you know...)
Picture of him with blue bash

:[ none in Jersey yet near me! Going to check tomorrow...

My local wally world redid the Skylander's section and basically had nothing but the gummi Drill Sarge.

-M

None in my local Asda so far but I'll check Asda Living when I head out later this afternoon.
