I know there's a few Ohio Skylanders fans on here. I live up near Cleveland (about..15 minutes from Downtown) near Independence. I was wondering if anyone had called around or had seen them up this way, but by all means, I think we can help our friends down south as well.

I'm currently calling around to Walmart stores. Yesterday there were listings for both EB and Thumps from Cleveland, and I think a few people had seen them in Eastlake and Columbus.

As of 1/16:
-Walmart @ Steelyard: Nope
-Walmart @ Parmatown: Nope
-Walmart @ Bedford: Nope
-Walmart @ Brookpark Rd: Nope
-Walmart @ Macedonia: Nope

-Gamestop @ Pleasant Valley Shopping Center (next to the Acme): Nope
-Gamestop @ Parmatown Plaza: Nope
-Gamestop @ Parmatown Mall (the one inside the mall): Nope (BUT! They're on their way apparently)
-Gamestop @ CityView: Nope
-Gamestop @Ridgepark Square: Nope

I don't want to sound like a troll, or mean, or anything else. But I really don't want these "(enter area here) eye brawl and thumpback sightings" Topics to end up like the HQ ones.

Oh I understand, but we've actually done a lot of these kind of threads in the past (mostly for the last few waves in SSA). The general thread I made is good for figuring out when the figures start popping up in your local state, but individual state threads are good for where the figures are popping up at.

Unlike the HQ threads which end up being useless and lacking any information pertaining to the board they were on, these sort of threads end up being extremely helpful for users who are nearby each other find what they're mostly looking for. (which right now is Eye Brawl and Thumpback)

I think that the thread you made is perfect. Users could share where in their state it was found, and actually contribute. But now people are starting to make a thread for all of these states, and it's getting ridiculous.

Been all over the Eastside of CLE, including the GameStop and Walmart in Eastlake/Willo. Nothing. Orders en route, but no way for GameStop to confirm what is in them.

Just bought thumpback at Athens Walmart.

New Phila, Dover area has gotten quite a few on Tuesday, cause I got mine there. Check there I guess.

I just found eye brawl & thumpy this morning. They only had one of each on the shelf at Walmart in Sidney Ohio. That is mid west Ohio been searching around. These are the only ones I have seen so far. Game stop has been a no go at this point.

I checked Ontario, OH walmart, target, Maijer, and Gamestop yesterday. nada. Maybe today? Hmm...

Checked out the 2 Walmarts on Mayfield Rd, the Gamestop and TRU near the one in Mayfield. Nothing at any of them....

Picked mine up at gamestop in eastgate Ohio which is a suburb of Cincinnati. Also had them at the other 3 surrounding stores. I bought one set and left one for the next person.

I called all three Mentor Walmarts. All three received them and sold them before one. I called the Gamestop on Mayfield, near Bestbuy. He had one of each left. I bought them at 1:30.

The Canton area had some of them this week. My Gamestop got them today, and so did some of the others. One store got theirs on Tuesday, and sold out of them in 5 minutes.

Oh gosh..i had to have been in that same store around then. I must have just missed them!

I'll have to head down Canton ways tomorrow if I can. Hopefully some of the stores that way will have some in because up here in Cleveland it doesn't seem like any of the stores have the 2. (or if they did they're all sold out now)

do yuo live in greec????

Went to Ontario Walmart on 1/17. Nothing.

Headed down to Canton today after classes, and I went in about 5 Gamestops, 4 Walmarts and a TRU. No dice at any of them.

I'd assume now it's too late to find either one as most stores told me they sold out of them as soon as they put them out. Guess we'll just have to wait till next week when they get the shipments in...

any set for new york city? ( i really mean new york city , the true city )

I live near Eastgate as well, I missed out, I'm still looking... why does it seem like stores are getting only a couple of them in stock? it just seems like Activision is doing this on purpose...

No, it's just that Gamestop has 4,400 stores to stock with the new figures. Stores are getting anywhere from 1 of each all the way up to 4 or 5 of each. Then Walmart has another 3,000 locations that are also getting figures.That's a lot of Thumpbacks, and restocks will be coming soon enough. I hate that feeling of having missed out on them too when a figure comes out, but they haven't even shown up online yet. You will get your chance

So Steve do u collect for yourself or do u have little ones that collect with you?.

I just looked at the Walmart in Uniontown and nada. Said they hadn't gotten Skylander's in over a week. Haven't had time to check Gamestop due to work, but I am crossing my fingers for the Akron one tommorow. I just want Eyebrawl.

Just myself, I'm 47 but I love these games

Checked my usual Gamestop today. For the first time ever one of the employees was kind of rude when I called. Told me that they haven't even seen Eyebrawl/Thumpback yet and they had already gotten their shipment of stuff for the day.

I didn't see any in Brimfield the other day. I could check in Youngstown, but I don't know how soon that will be, college has kept me pretty busy.

If anyone can find an extra Eyebrawl in the general Akron area (Brimfield, Tallmadge, Cuyahoga Falls) I would gladly pay for the figure and throw in a free in and out car wash. My work hours make this toy hunting pretty hard, especially with them only being out at Wally World and Gamestop. If anyone is interested in trying to work out a deal where if I find them I buy an extra or vise versa, pm me.

I live in piqua ohio I always go to kettering. I went Friday to toysrus, bestbuy, target , both gamestop and jcppenny no new figs. Game stop next to jimmy johns sayed that had some day before b ut sold them all that morning. Piqua wallmart has non nor the gamestop

Called around today to a few Gamestops. They're the easiest to call because you can get a quick yes or no and move on. Unlike stores like Walmart where you have to wait for someone to answer, have them transfer you, then wait for someone to answer there, then tell them and wait for them to go look.

Gamestop @ Parmatown Plaza: No answer
Gamestop @ Parmatown Mall: Answered, put me on hold for 5 minutes. Decided to hang up and try later.
Gamestop @ Ridgepark Square: No answer
Gamestop @Pleasant Valley: They got them in yesterday, they're now all sold out.
Gamestop @ Steelyard: Apparently out of service?
Gamestop @ Kamms Plaza: THEY HAD THEM IN! Unfortunately, the guy said they couldn't hold them for people, and they also can't reveal how many they had. Whatever I guess.

I went out there and thankfully they had 4 left (2 of each). Currently there's 1 of each left because well..you know.



lol.

So yeah, give Kamms Plaza Gamestop a call and see if they still have them. If they do, you can run out there and get them. I'd imagine though I got pretty lucky because school hadn't gotten out quite yet (or it was just getting out). I got there about 3:25 or so. The guy said he had put them out this morning.

They also are all sold out of the Sidekicks so don't expect to get one. Not that I really mind or anything haha. I'll be heading out over the weekend at some point so I'll see what I can find for those who haven't found them yet. I'd imagine that Target and TRU should have them out over the weekend though.

I got mine today in Akron. I got lucky that the guys at my usual Gamestop are great to me and one of them offered to hold an Eyebrawl for me since they had a shipment go out on the 21st. I called this morning and he had it in a drawer along with a Thumpback for me just in case I wanted him too. I was so happy and thankfull He said they had gotten two boxes in and the other three Eyebrawls sold quick.

I live in the Loveland/Mason area and had been checking Walmart and the GSs basically daily. I had a seminar in Wilmington today and it was less than a minute from their Walmart. Stopped in and saw 3 Eye Brawls and 2 Thumpbacks. I finally managed to get these guys. Apparently all you have to do is find an area ravished by poverty.
