You can add Waterford, CT to the list.

Gamestop told me on Tuesday they were getting in a box today and to come in around noon. So I walked in around 11:30 and the guy said they already sold them this morning. I was pretty angry at the fact they told me to come at a different time when they just ended up selling them when they opened. So anyway I went to the Walmart down the road and they had 4 each of both Thumpback & Eye-Brawl.

Fort Myers, FL

Just stopped at a GameStop in the next town over. Apparently, "they only got one of each" and the two women were buying them as I walked in.

Found them in Severn MD. Went to three gamestops, only one got them, and only one box.

My Gamestop in Syracuse, NY got them in and held them for me without me even asking today !!! SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW! I'm going to get them in a few hours when I get outta work. LOVE my Gamestop!

Lancaster PA

In hand

Showed up in central NJ at GameStop today.

My gamestop in Jacksonville, nc only had one of each. They called me and put them aside for me.

Port st lucie florida

Got mine in Nassau county LI . Big thanks for everyone posting . My boy will be so thrilled with these.

Glad everyone is finding them. I'll post the ones in the thread in the first page and tag them in the map after I finish my work here in a bit.

Now if only I could find them. *grumblegrumble*

WHERE WERE THEY SPOTTED IN CHULA VISTA!?!?!?!?!?

You can add.. GameStop - Patridge Creek Mall in Clinton Township, MI..
I got the 2 EyeBrawls and 2 Thumpbacks plus 2 sidekicks that came in todays order !

Got Thumpback and Eye Brawl from Gamestop in Oak Creek, WI today. I was told they only got four of each.

Two GameStops here in Central KY got in a case each of the Giants (plus sidekicks yesterday - can not buy separate but one free with each $30 purchased).

Got 1 each of Eye Brawl and Thump Back

Haven't seen any at Wal-Mart yet.

Should also mention that GameStop got in the Scorpion Striker pack and Wal-Mart did have some of the Darklight Crypt packs in stock.

Oh I was gonna reply to you last night haha.

No idea.

I was just pulling locations from ebay listings, which I mentioned in the first post. So any stores in that area could have had them at some point, but probably not any more.

I heard people have found them at Horton Plaza. I live close enough to dive there.

I have 6 Gamestops within 12 miles of my house.

The two in my town did not get them and know nothing about them being released.
One of three in the next town over got a shipment yesterday and sold out. The second one got some today and apparently sold the "one of each that came in." The third hasn't seen anything.

Then in the other town nearby, they got in a shipment yesterday and all sold out.

Also, out of three Walmarts I stopped at, nothing.

Inexplicably easy to find today when I stopped by the Gamestop in the Allendale Center in Pittsfield, MA. (Not the one by the nearby mall, that Gamestop is actually closing and will probably be combining resources with the other one.)

They only had one of Thumpback and Eye-Brawl on the shelves (there might have been more in the back), and they were just stuffed in with the usual wall-of-Swarm so I didn't even bother to check at first.

When trying to find something to bump the cost over $30, a Series 2 Lightning Rod fell off the shelves. So I picked that up and a Gill Runt for good measure.

Managed to pick up Eye-Brawl and Thumpback at GameStop in Newark, CA. Got nervous walking in as someone was walking out with them in hand. Got a Terrabyte too!

Picked up the only set at GameStop in Scottsdale AZ. It was also the first time I've seen the Hot Dog pack.

Just got Eyebrawl and Thumpback from the Gamestop in Lemon Grove, CA UPS literally just got there as I was walking in, there are 1 of each left.

*edited to add the state

FYI. I bought a Thumpback and Eye Brawl at Virginia Beach Gamestop near Walmart on Princess Anne Rd. However, someone else came in an bought remain one of each. Seems only one box arrived. Also Gamestop at Greenbrier Mall in Chesapeake had and sold out of them this morning.

Got em! My mom found Thumpy at GameStop in the Ocean County Mall, at Toms River, New Jersey. They only had 2 Thumpbacks, and one of the employees kept one for himself, darn.

My dad went to another Gamestop in the Monmouth Mall, Jersey, and found ONE Eye-Brawl! Add the locations!

in Manteca California, theres 2 gamestops and they both got them in today.
The one I went to, they said a lady picked up one of each before I came in and I got one of each along with Hot Dog... and that was all they had...
so it looks like it was just 1 case... They said that was the first shipment they've had of them so far.

The other gamestop said they had a couple in stock when I called them but I didn't go there because they didn't have any sidekicks in.

Gamestops in east metro Twin Cities, Minnesota

- Maplewood, MN (said one of each)
- Stillwater, MN (said one of each)
- Woodbury, MN (two of each)

It's great that so many people are able to get these, lots of happy campers! If you were unlucky so far, remember that some stores haven't gotten them yet, and those that did seem to be selling them fast, so I would imagine restock will be swift since they occupy 2/3 of a case - and the fillers aren't shelf warmers either. Still not up on the website, looks like Gamestop focused on the stores first for these guys. And Ebay and Amazon marketplace are swarmed with them, the scalp price is plummeting. If restock hits next week the secondary market will completely fall through - which is good news because the scalpers will likely take it as a sign that the Skylander second hand market isn't going to be controlled like last year and TFB is going to drown them out with inventory.

Too bad I won't be able to use ours until the middle of next month, it is my son's birthday Birthday gift along with Hot Dog. They are taunting me from their hiding place in my closet. He is having a Skylanders themed party, so I'm sure they will be a big hit.

Quit lying, Def. I created all of these alts, just to simulate that a lot of people are getting them. I am secretly cleaning out all Gamestops.

Congrats to all of my alts, for getting the new figures.

What?

Just got both at Gamestop in Brownsburg, IN. They had a couple of each left if anyone in the area needs them.

Just got Eye Brawl and Thumpback in Aurora, CO. The Gamestop still had one of each in stock after I got mine, this was about an hour ago.

What?

He is joking. Some people get mad because he is a collector bought several of each, one for display and a couple for play - as well as helped a few people out with trades. He doesn't scalp, he helps people find figures and he lets others in on his findings - which helped legions of new Thumpback and Eye Brawl owners know when to check their stores. I'd be mad if he sold them at a profit, like that one guy that cleaned out Walmart then tried to shake down another local member for $55 each, but he doesn't.

NGL, scottiedog has a point. Not only that but you don't even have to be signed in to see these so any scalper can just swoop in and use the information provided here.

Got Thumpback and Eye Brawl at Rome, NY Walmart. The Rome NY game stop got 2 of each and sold out early today. Walmart still had Eye Brawl after I left, but I think I got this last Thumpback. That's as of about 4:00 pm Thursday 1/17/2013.

ARRRGGG! I knew a shipment was coming into the Gamestop closest to my house and they said it was going to be in tomorrow (Friday), but I just knew that I should call today. I got busy at work and forgot to call and stopped in there after work and they had gotten three of each and they were gone, Gone, GONE. :-( They have no more Giant figure shipments in the computer at the moment. Back to calling every day again. Sigh.

North Phoenix, AZ BTW..

Nope, it's a garantee for me tomorrow.

Got both today in Vero Beach, Florida. Also the Fort Pierce Fl store got them as well. Love both Eye Brawl and Thumpback. Been playing with them all afternoon. Two of the best most fun Skylanders yet. Hope everyone finds them. So, you can add Vero Beach and Fort Pierce Florida to the list. Happy Hunting

Thanks. I may hit the hay early so I can be on the hunt first thing in the AM. Oy Skylanders, you're such a pain.

My GameStop got only 2 of each in today, score for me in Auburn, Massachusetts.

Just scored Thumpback and Eyebrawl at GameStop in local mall in PA!!
Suburbs of Philly, PA

My Gamestop got 2 of each in Taunton, Ma

Found my thumpback and eyebrawl at Wa-Mart in Hammond, La today

Purchased my son's Thumpback and Eyebrawl at Gamestop outside of Buffalo, NY! Just made it too. Called at 11:00 and raced 20 minutes from downtown to get them. The other ones were purchased by a young mother right after me. Soon there after a bunch of other people came in looking for them and were very disappointed. Wonder how long before anyone gets another shipment.

Found one Thumpback and Eye Brawl on 1-16-13 at Game Stop in West Tx and found one Thumpback and Eye Brawl today at Walmart.

You can add New Orleans, LA to the list... walked out today with both Thumpback and Eye Brawl from gamestop. Called all of them yesterday and nothing.. today, they got them in....

Good luck hunting everyone...

What gamestop. The one near walgreens?

Almost all the gamestops in Rochester NY received one or two of each and sold out within minutes of receiving shipments. Walmart in Victor, NY had a box full of both... Had to be at least 4 or 5 of each left after I picked up one of each for my sons upcoming bday
