Anyone found these at any other stores besides Walmart and Gamestop??....how about Target and Best Buy?

Best Buy has an Eye Brawl page on their website...Target doesn't. So my guess is Best Buy will get them first.

Toys R Us website has no Eye Brawl page as well.

Called Gamestops near Boston MA (5 different stores) they don't have either of them.

None here today in South Florida either. May Gamestop got some of the single characters in but no giants. However, the manager said he is expecting more tomorrow and or Wednesday for the Sidekicks promo. Some of my stores didn't get anything today and one is still waiting on their Hot Dog Battle Packs, but is supposed to be getting all of Wave 3 according to him, as they haven't had anything from Wave 3 so far. I really expect them tomorrow or Wednesday end of the week at the latest. really excited as these are 2 of my favorites, and everyone else also from the looks of things. Wal Mart here still hasn't gotten a truck yet. One has a few and the other one has tons of Skylanders, Wave1 (Incl the first 3 giants) Wave 2, but not Wave 3. Also had tons of the Adventure Packs 2-3 of each. Stuff here just not the right stuff. Happy Hunting and Congrats to those who have found them. Awesome!

I am gagging at the pic of those Eye-Brawl and Thumbacks!

No go here in cincinnati they got a box but no giants maybe tomorrow he said...got a lightning rod series 2 so not a total waste of a trip...lol

Strike 3. The last of the Gamestops I go to don't have either one today. Here's to hoping for tomorrow!

Nothing at Walmart, GameStop, Best Buy, Target, TRU, KMart..

Kankakee, Ill

Currently on hold for the GameStop closest to me. That is as far as I am going today for this lol

EDIT: Flop!

i am calling all..........7 stores near me. 3 gamestop, meijer, walmart, tru and target. might try the far tru, too.

How many did they have total in the store GameMaster? Just wondering.

Didn't see this post until now. One Gamestop got 4 of each, but one set was gone by the time I got there. The other place had 1 set on hold for me.

Other Gamestops said they were probably getting them in tomorrow. So, if your local Gamestops didn't get them in today, bank on tomorrow. Boxes are marked GSW3 if you want to tell the employee to look for that box.

Box breaks down like this -

- 2 Thumpback
- 2 Eye Brawl
- 1 Hot Head
- 1 Crusher

Called the majority of the stores in Louisville, KY, nothing.

my gamestop said the box shipped on the 10th and they take 5 days, so he is expecting them tomorrow.

i called all the storesaround me......all 7 of them, and not 1 had any new skylanders.

Checked the 3 Game Stops near me in Knoxville. 2 didn't get any Skylanders in today's shipment and 1 only got in the SS pack. Gonna keep trying. Eye Brawl was the one I've had my eye on since day one.

And I am finally home. I see you guys got my message. I was on the road. Oklahoma City here. Gamestops here got them in today.

No. No. It's faked somehow. Can't be real. Can't. Can't.

Thought: I give GM78 a LOT of crap for what often comes off as a very egocentric, selfish view of the world, but I should point out that this whole thread is contrary to that; calling someone to post on this forum in hopes of helping others is pretty considerate. Kudos, GM78.

Calling someone to post that he pretty much cleaned out two of his area Gamestops of the latest releases........considerate? ROTFLMAO

No sir....just a ridiculous and new way of bragging. So pathetic that he couldn't even wait to get home to post it himself. LOL

I see where you're coming from, but he didn't even start the post. And it was presumably a request of his to post on the forum before he even knew he was definitely going to land these. Yes, he cleaned out his Gamestops, but that's nothing new. I'm just trying to see the brighter side.

Just calling it like I see it.

Personally, I see nothing selfish about this. Everybody's on pins and needles waiting for ANY news about these two figures and he, one of the few people to be trusted to know what they're talking about (whether you like him or not) had a friend report the quite important info that he had his hands on them. That's called getting us vital info that we want as quickly as possible. So what he bought out his Gamestop. He's a collector. We all are or we wouldn't be here. Just saying..

He's also forthright about how much he buys, while many other forum members do the same and even scalp a little on the side without saying a word.

Can we not turn this into another Gamemaster78 discussion. Personally I dont come on here to read about him and his collection and couldnt give two hoots about what he has and how many of each he has!!!....lets move on people!.....the more attention people give him then it will never end!....geez! Lets focus and discuss what really matters shall we.

Don't hate the player, hate the game peeps.

We'll all get our character(s). Not a matter of if, but when.

this place is about skylanders right? didnt see "gamemaster78 haters" on the topic list..

you know what i like? skylanders. know what im really interested in? eye brawl and thumpback. now i need to find them. any help in that regard would be wonderful.

thanks gm78 for having all the infos about things and pics.

jellyhaters are like trolls, you can never win an arguement with them. ignoring is the best way to deal with them.

anyways called 7 gamestops and 5walmart in my area still no thumpb and eyeb. im in west FL btw.

No 1 for each kid and then 1 to go on the wall or something...

None in jersey today. Tomorrow or Friday. Boxes are in system

Really?! Where did you hear this? I went and called several Gamestops and they had no idea

I called a Gamestop near my friend and they have them! She's running there now! Fingers crossed!

Shipped yesterday (Mon.), here tomorrow (Wed.) according to GameStop on Atlanta, Georgia. Employee seemed confident Eye Brawl and Thumpback would be in the shipment. Fingers crossed!

If somebody wants to resell them- awesome. If a person is willing to pay the premium to not have to run to each store and go crazy- it's worth it. Before Christmas I pre-sold all 3 upcoming giants. My prices were the lowest out there- after fees and shipping I will make about 15 dollars on each. BUT I have gone to Walmart at 12:00am 4 times, spent early mornings driving to Toysrus and Target. basically I lost money

Used to be 5 sets for the first game. 1 for each of my two oldest kids, 3 for me.

Now it's 4 for this household. 1 for the kids to share since they barely play the game, and 3 for me. They should be lucky I get them at all for them, since they barely touch the game and toys, while I'm stretching the game out for months and months. I gave them Thumpback and Eye Brawl yesterday. My oldest daughter was like "cool, awesome," and then went and played dolls in her room, while my son was like "AWESOME! Can you hook up the 360 so I can play Borderlands?" I facepalmed.

Sorry for the double post, but the rest of my Gamestops got theirs in today. Each of the 18 stores that didn't get them yesterday, got 2 of each today. I got my 4th set just now. That means there are 34 Eye Brawls in my city, and 34 Thumpbacks. I got 1 of each today. That's a far cry from cleaning them out.

why does it matter how many gamemaster78 buys if he does give 1 to the kids its his money to spend how he wants.

One person grabbing 12% of the stock for a city on an initial release is telling that this kind of stuff is, and always will be, a debacle. I can't wait for my kids to be old enough to do this for themselves and I can just give them the money and wish them happy trails in their hunt.

I bought every hotdog in town that wasn't a pre-order. I'm ok with it. I wanted to fulfil orders that I had taken and the 3 pack came out before the single- SO- all of the packages that came in went to fill my orders. I made 6 dollars profit on each one. but my customers don't have to wait any longer.

Know what's crazy about what you just said? This Fernandez person won't call you out for that, only me. It goes to show who the trolls are, and why they pick certain people to troll.

Well then, that explains that.

These will be the last two skylanders I buy. I'm not into the hunting tho. So if anyone wants a free set message me. I'll buy yours, mine and pay for shipping. If not I'm sure these will be everywhere in a month. I can wait if I have to no big deal.

I already deployed her to Gamestop today...and I went to Walmart in the morning and evening myself every day (including today) since last week...and sent my kid into gamestop a few times as well....It's been a long hunt for all of us...

And how will it end? "Yeah, one guy just came in and bought them all 5 minutes ago...Try back next week."

100% guaranteed.

Then we all go get ice cream to drown our sorrows.

My friend got two of each! One set for me and one for her son! I'm super excited!
