I checked Target.com and he's no longer available. Do people still see him in stores from time to time?

I have not seen him for awhile in stores , since maybe the first or second week he was out. Did you Check Amazon? Sometimes he is up for 17.00 or so, assuming you live in the USA.

I've checked about 4 Target stores in the past week and none of them had it. Even the employees said they haven't seen him in the stores since end of October.

There were only like four or five at my target on launch day. And some of them had errors. Saying just crusher on the insert instead of granite crusher. Since launch day I havent seen any. And they only had five or six of the lightcore three pack if it matters

~yeah for the time being, at least~

If you are dying to get him... After shipping he can be had for about 24 bucks from Amazon. I got two on launch day as the Target I went two had five. I had a feeling he would be hard to come by after awhile. I opened one and am keeping the other one in a box.

We've been checking with Target every day or two in person or by phone. The figures would come and go in the blink of an eye.

Finally I was on track for a shipment of 20 to be delivered this last week, according to one Electronics employee (who knows us well, by now!). Due Wednesday morning on their normal truck, he said to check Tuesday morning just in case they showed up via UPS or FedEx. Nothing Tuesday, but nothing Wednesday either. Went in Friday afternoon to find THREE on the peg!

Grabbed the needed one for my son, and told a woman shopping for her grandson about his rarity and exclusivity. She grabbed #2. I checked with my wife, and ended up taking #3 for my mother-in-law to give to my nephew for Christmas.

FINALLY GOT YOU GRANITE CRUSHER, YOU ELUSIVE LITTLE BUGGER! NOW YOUR NICKNAME SHALL BE "WESLEY"! HA!

He isn't as expensive as I thought he would be on evilbay either. If you are dying to get him Zook, you can feed the scalpers. Either way you are going to pay around 22-25 dollars for him. For how rare he is, I thought he would be going for about 30-40 bucks by now.

Target is a weird store, they seem to keep good stock on everything skylanders minus what they are selling exclusive. It is where I found my Hot Head and Wham Shell. Also my battle packs from S:SA. I started collecting late and had a hard time finding the first three.

If you're looking for one, use the target stock checker. All the targets around here restocked and about 2 days ago showed in-stock with the online stock checker. Today they were finally put out on the shelves, about 20 of them too.

Funny, I still find Granite Crushers sitting around often at my Target despite what everyone's saying. I guess he's not that popular where I live.

He's listed in this Sunday's newspaper circular, so they must've gotten a restock.

hmmmm my target has quite a few granite crushers laying around and about 10 of the light core triple packs.....which surprises me since my target is in a very crowded area. I'm in Milwaukee by the way if anyone is looking

If they think they can sell more, they will make more. Just like the legendary triple pack for SSA came back in early 2012.

Targets website says every store within 147 miles of us has them. I didn't believe it but we just ran to the closest one (less than 2 miles away). They did not have any. Another man was there looking for it as well.

I picked one up early on in the Massachusetts area (I don't even have NORMAL Crusher, and haven't really cared to pick up a figure I know will never get any use).

Hadn't seen any up there until recently ... two days ago they put about twenty of them back on the shelves - perhaps in response to the local Wal-Mart putting out a couple dozen of the GiTD Sonic Booms (which seem to be more actively wanted than "Gummi" Drill Sergeant ever was).


My guess is most stores say "in stock" because they physically have dozens in the back, but have been told by upper management to "pace" when and how often they display them so they don't run out before the holidays. It couldn't hurt to ask to see if they have any not on display, but if they've been instructed to pretend they "don't exist in store until a particular date," they may hold to that story.

I was at Target this morning in central NJ and they had about 10 of them, so I picked up 2. They did not have any when I went there on Thursday.

Target's ad for this week features Granite Crusher (Actually, it's the only Skylander in the ad).

I guess maybe stores will be getting some in this week?

I was in LA a couple of weeks ago, and they only have two left, one at a tiny display up at the front, and one hidden in the larger display. Bought one, along with a Hot Head. But we went to a couple more Targets', and I didn't see any more.

Hi I live in Australia and on the 13th we are going to have Granite Crusher Exclusive to Big W. I was in today looking for wave 2 and my friend who works there showed me. I was unable to take a photo as her boss was around. So if you guys have friends in Australia and you havent got a granite crusher yet they may be able to ppurchase one for you.

The Granite Crusher (Big W Exclusive) is now on the front page of the latest Big W catalogue, which should make it sell out very quickly.

As mentioned above, Granite Crusher will be available December 13.

He was in the local targets for about two weeks and now he cant be found. smilie the closest target barely keeps the shelf stocked with any kind of skylander.

My nearest Big W in Robina has more than 60 of them and apparently they aren't selling that good, even though it is on sale.

Granite Crusher is discontinued at Target. What you see in stores now, or possibly still in the backroom, is all they will have.
Peridot Weapon Blue Sparx Gems: 947
#49 Posted: 18:37:47 13/01/2013
Whereas they've restocked Granite Crusher twice since the Holidays at my local Target. (Which is kind of odd, since they haven't done much to replenish their OTHER stock over the last few weeks.)

Maybe they were just smart with their early shipments and have only put the figures out in limited quantities. Whatever the reason, they still had two on the shelves back last Friday.
