Just so everyone knows. My TRU had 8 in the store room. I was at the register to pay and got told not until November 22. Tried to still get one since I had it in hand and was told by manager "no". Hating it!

You must have a small TRU. My district covers 20 stores and there are 13,000+ in the warehouse waiting to ship to those 20 stores.

Zook, if you know someone in Canada that needs Flashwing, Sprocket, and maybe another wave 2 character, let me know. I would be willing to trade 3 of anything wave 2 for 3 L-Stealths. If not, it's only a matter of time until they come out down here.

Not the end of the world. Just stinks because I had it at the register. Nov 22 is Black Friday. No way I'm standing In line for hours.

Wow, thanks for this, I mean it. I would happily pay eBay markup to avoid actually being at Toys R Us on Black Friday. New plan I guess... wait until Canada saturates the market, then pick the cheapest one.

Don't worry. Ebay is already flooded with these. The price will probably hover around $20. That's not worth the effort for me to resell.

I just came from TRU and I didn't see any Legendary Stealth Elf figures. I figure it's not out for wide release because TRU hasn't hyped it up or sent out any emails. So, the date will be Black Friday. I'm not worried about quantities since TRU tends to overload on legendary figures. There is still a glut of L-Trigger Happy in my TRU.

It may not be hard to get though. My large TRU has at least 100 legendary triples. So I'm not worried.

I'm tempted to take you up on that offer. I need Flashwing, Sprocket, and a blue lip Chill (all are red lip here). However, I don't know if I'd want to wait for shipping from the USA, as the figures will probably be out here by then. I'd also not want to pay for shipping to you (probably $9 for small packet air). So far, I've managed to buy every Skylander at my local stores.

I think they will pour in and be easy to get.

They will be easy to get. Even IF - and I mean IF - they were being held til Black Friday, they could sell out and get a bajillion of them after the new year. Like I said, even toysrus.com still has the old Legendary 3-Pack instock still.

Zing, I messaged you back, but there's a person in Canada who I'm talking to, that might be helping where I pay to ship to him and he pays to ship to me. I am awaiting his/her response.

I actually need 5 of L-Stealth. 3 for me, 1 for my kids' collection (they only get 1 complete collection with this game not 2), and 1 for a friend of mine who wants me to hold onto it until he gets some money.

Shipping to Canada actually isn't bad from the US, or from Canada to the US. It's when it goes overseas, that it takes weeks. I've gotten packages from Canada to Oklahoma City in as little as 5 days.

Why do people acquire trivial things when they have no money? If you have no money, save what little money you DO have. Don't spend it on Skylanders. Good grief.

It seems Gamemaster has money to literally burn. Didn't you see his unreal collection. I'm all for hooking my kids up but all 3 of them share. They have them all basically. But am saving all giants for Christmas. He needs 5 L- stealth elfs. Lol

I'm saving it all for Christmas, too. My kids are still into Santa Claus. Probably the last year it will fly with my son, though.

It's getting hard to not give them the games. The other kids in school have some of the new characters. But they will be loving the holidays.

that's happened to me 2 days in a row now. Sat I went in and they had her out so I tried it and got turned down, the manager then took all of her off the shelves himself. Went in again today (sun) and she was up on the shelves again. Same story as sat, told no then the manager removed her from the shelves. At least I know my local TRU will have a ton of her in stock on the 22nd.

You need Sprocket? I can help you with that... send a PM we arrange things...
