Bit the bullet and caved to the scalpers

$50 with the case. I think is still ok.

...........There's shelves full of Wham Shell in the place I live. God, 50$? ;;........Jeeeeebus.

^ In the U.S.? If so, can you tell me what state please?

Send it back! Go to local stores and ask employees about them!


Or.. Better yet..

ToysRUs has an exclusive figure case for $30.00 and has a free Whammy!

^ Thanks for the price on that! I might be able to do that next time I go to a town that has a TRU.

$50 is nowhere near acceptable for one figure. Especially when they're going for $20 max with the castle case.

haha. Wish I posted before I paid..

I'm in Aus though havent seen any. Anywhere.

KNow if that pack will be available at TRU worldwide?

Wham Shell was an easy find for me, I think he was around 8$? or so at some GameStop I *think* it was (I live in Arkansas - there was quite a few of him there). I also saw him recently at like Target I think it was, and some little local game store had a few, and GameStop *I think* here still had him in last i went as well. He's everywhere

Never saw him at Walmart or anything though. Mostly game shops.

I'm in Australia. Anyone want to post me said figure?

My philosophy when it comes to Skylanders is to never give in to scalpers.

The hunt for figures is half the fun and I never NEED a figure. It'll come when it comes.

Thanks I try think the same but then I get a blood rush hehe. Anyone know the availability in Australia?

Off Topic: Legendary packs of S:SA Trigger Happy and Legendary triple pack were never available here. Are they worth $22 and $40 respectively? Evilbay..

Actually, the Legendary Triples were available, I just think they weren't restocked.
There are quite a few LTH at my local TRU. If they're still there- feel free to PM me.

Not for the Trigger Happy. As was said you can find him at TRU pretty easily. For the triple pack, it is an okay price. It really depends if you are a collector and need to have them all. Or if you really don't care at all then probably not.

For anyone still looking, I just got another one today when I got the castle case after buying the 3ds starter and a few figures. I don't want to scalp it but would trade for a figure I need. Contact me via PM.

Thank you all for your feedback.

Just to clarify I did purchase the Wham Shell pack with the castle for $50.

I tried to cancel with the reccommendations here (5min later..) and the seller had already purchased a sticker for it to send quickly.. sigh

You CAN return it, still..

Here!

Matteo, It says it doesn't cover buyer remorse? What should I say?

I saw the wham shell tower set last week at toys R Us

I never saw LTH in my area at all, so he's still missing from my collection. Which store is your local?

The Highpoint one. I don't remember how many were there and I last checked at Giants launch so they may or may not be sold out.

Sigh, typical. Melbourne has practically EVERYTHING

Compared to the rest of Aus, ya.
TBF we did miss out on the second Legendary Triple at Highpoint, but there's another a realistic while away anyway...

Nibelit I didn't know you live in Australia. I go to Chadstone and Southland for my Skylanders but the TRU in Chaddy had no Legendary Skylanders but I can't complain as I already have 3 L-Bouncer and 3 L-Triple Pack Ignitor, Slam Bam and Jet-Vac for bday parties.

I spent 2 MONTHS searching for that figure and I found it in May in a Target behind 2 or 3 other figures to the side. I learned from experience to look behind other figures and when I found him, it has got to be my happiest day in my collecting career, as well as finding "Da Zookinator" in a triple pack

i bought my whammy after giants came out because at argos.... all series one were only £4!!!

I live in a small town. Which while it has its many disadvantages, it also has a few advantages. As I have been able to find most of my skylanders in the local wal-mart. When giants came out I went at midnight and got all of the launch characters. I also have the advantage of working in a "Big Town" Good old Des Moines, Iowa. So I travel quite a bit and am able to find most of what I am looking for fairly regularly, minus the varients of course.

I've found every figure I needed at my local Target, Wal Mart, Game Stop or Toys R Us with patience. All of which are within the same general area and I'm usually already out that way.

Have fun getting scalped up the yin yang.

For the Aussie guys I found a good store in Adelaide when i was there for a trip. PM me for details. No scalpers allowed

Also on this, I find it more fun to go "hunting" for the figures. Then paying someone 30 dollars for hot head after he first came out.

i got lucky and found wham-shell at a local bestbuy. i got lucky because i was going to look on ebay and buy one that very night if i couldnt find one in stores.

The opposite happened to me, I bought Whammy off of eBay, and a few days later, I found one sitting there at ToysRUs!

I hope that doesn't happen to me. Maybe I'll stop looking after it comes ahaha. ha ha ha

lol

I have only seen two of him. Once at a wal-mart on my way to work. Then one time at Target. I still don't think he is everywhere. Maybe every TRU here in the states. I still think as it was stated earlier that whammy is/was (however you look at it) hard to find because of TRU having the exclusive castle packs. I am in the process of trying to collect all the ones that are not being reposed in S2, so I can have them in original packaging. Instead of looking for wham shell by himself or buying from ebay. I decided to buy on of the castle packs and get him out of that.

Much easier then hunting, or paying just as much to get it from someone on Ebay.

Has anyone heard if Activision will keep making the series one figures or will they die out, now that giants has been released?

There are plenty of the Castle/Whammy packs at the TRU in Indy here... I actually got one for free with my Wii/Gnarly bundle and returned it for the $30 store credit because I already have 2 unopened Whammy figs (I can use the credit for the L-Stealth and L-Chill when they come out!) I'm debating about opening the one that's all leveled up just cause I want it out of the package!! lol I wish you would have posted this a week ago cause I had an extra case I could have sold you at cost ($29.99 as MatteoMax said)!!! Darn scalpers!! next time, you could check here first cause I'm sure there are other peeps who will help you out too!!

Just posted this in a topic, however it appears that L-Stealth Elf will be out by black Friday. Did some scouring and found what appears to be the TRU add for Black Friday.


here is the link: http://www.theblackfriday.com/...riday-ad2.shtml

Thanks Bazinga!!! I'm excited to get her on Black Friday, I'm also picking it up for a friend in Aus too, so I'm glad the store credit (or money I already spent, lol) can be used soon!! lol Now we just have L-Chill yet.... she prolly won't come out in 2012 I'm guessing

She is on evilbay for about 20.00. She was released in Canada already. I will just wait for her to be in the stores here. I can usually find the ones I need if I look enough. Plus shipping from Canada is outrageous from what I have seen.

Ty. Still I have to pay shipping to send it back and I get nothing. So I'm just going to suck it up and keep it.
I tried to combine postage with something else worthwhile but he said he sent it as Monday is a Postal holiday in the US.
Is this true?

Thanks Shroomy I'll remember for next time

Yeah, tomorrow (Sunday) is Veterans Day. So Monday is a holiday.

Whammy is actually worth 15$ wouldnt pay more than that though. My bro found him at meijer!

One time I bought the three pack of Bash-Eruptor-(Can't remember) for 35$ I had no idea how much they ACTUALLY were then found one the next day st Target for only19.99$! Uh'

You paid $35 for Bash/Eruptor/Chop Chop? That was in wave 1 and one of the most common packs!
