Here is todays ad: Thumpback on page 10
http://weeklyad.target.com/san...-93454/pages#10
Has anyone checked their local Target to see if they got any in today?
I called mine and spoke with the employee that was in the electronic department and he said that they had none but that he just started 10 minutes prior and that he was the only one in the department at the time so he did not know if they had any this morning. He said to check back tomorrow because they should be getting a shipment.

A few people checked and none had any. I think they just used a stock picture of a giant in their ad.

^This. Probably just a stock picture being used. Maybe next they will have Eye Brawl!

I saw him there but my dog ate my phone. *sarcastic*

OK so talked to target today and it looks like that thumpback picture is a marketing scam to get more people in the store. Also talked to toys r us today and found out that wave 3 was a piece of wave 3 they are expecting more wave 3 figures within the next week. Mind you this is employee info. NO hard facts to back up. TRU employee told me that info came from vendor.

Um...sorry if this sounds rude, but I'm having deja vu. Haven't you posted this in another thread?

Hmm.... no.
There is a post (Not titled Thumpback) showing the ad that will be coming out.
Now that the ad has been released, this post is asking anyone if they have checked their local Target to see if it is out.

I even searched for the ad that was in a post and could not find it at this time. When I do I will add the link.

Top post, word for word. And no, Dinoah2005 I didn't mean you. Sorry I wasn't clear. I was just thinking mxzx800ho posted the same message twice. I thought I'd seen it before lol.

And yeah, I asked Target near me and they said they didn't have Thumpy.

TheLurk,
No problem...
Next time, maybe use "Quote" when needed to help ask your question.

I will be calling Target tomorrow, dont want to miss out just in case.

My TRU said they had not received wave 3 and was moved back. Put I saw wave 3 figures there.... So I'm not sure what to expect...

Yeah...that's probably ignorant employees. You gotta love how some just don't seem to notice..well..ANYTHING....

And in case you need more confirmation that Target's on-line ad isn't exactly the most "in the know" about Skylanders, they advertise ALL figures from Skylanders: Giants to be on-sale for $12.99.

Yes, you too can get your very own Pop Fizz or Sprocket for the low, low price of $12.99! You won't find this price anywhere else, buy today!

But wait, if you buy Fright Rider today, you'll save 10% off of the $9.99 price!

... how does THAT work again?


(In all seriousness, the standard single figures are $8.99 at Target this week - they just have no clue how to properly classify the characters in their inventory.)

Target has the worst website..

I would be thrown off by the 10% "off" actually adding 33% to the price also.

That is sad...
I just got of the phone with Target and the employee checked the back and still had no Thumpback or Glitter HotHead.
They did have a few HotHeads in stock.
I did get a confirmation that the GIANTS are $12.99 - Great deal if you dont have Hot Head.

Yeah i checked my local Target and he wasn't there either. They did not have many giants in general.

call my local target's and no luck whatsoever.

they believe the graphics guy used the image on accident.

i called my local target few days before xmas the guy said your looking at next weeks ads/magazine thingies thats all
