Yay got mine today and all of my target 6 of them are instock now. You shud tell them her dpci so they can get her in the back. My targets has her 12 per store.

^ Where are you located, FLEIJA??

I stopped at one and called another (with the DCPI number) and they checked their inventory saying that there were NONE in the whole Indy metro area in stock yet.. I will call again today after work but might not see her here till next week. I will be diligently checking up on her because I have been waiting for her (and Polar WW) since October!!! hehe

West florida setting up and will post pics

You lucky Floridians!! lol Great find dude!!

This has been very good week so far.

For those of you actually fining her in stock at your local stores - does the Target website also show them as in stock at your store, or are you pretty much getting lucky? I'm wondering if it is worth it to try over the weekend, considering every store in a 30 mile radius shows them as out of stock.

Yes they do show instock. Thats what happen last night the store I went today was out of stock last night the guy today just told me was just scanning them at the back room so it suddenly showed instock this morning. So glhf and happy hunting everyone.


Question lol I uploaded the pic but it was soooo huge. How do you resize for uploading pics here?

Where on the Target website are people going to check stock for their local stores? I'm looking all over the site, but don't see anything that looks like a store by store stock lookup. I'm sure there's an easy to find link to it somewhere, but I'm just not finding it.

Just picked up Jade Flashwing at a Target in Orlando. They were already stocked on the shelf. Besides the one I picked up, there were at least 6-7 others.

I'm so stoked it's a variant of a character I like so much. She's almost as pretty as the original.

Not sure if anyone has posted the target.com link yet:

http://www.target.com/p/skylan...erm=207-00-1147

You can use that page to try & see if you local stores have her yet. No dice for mine sadly.

My Target says it's in stock. Went there but no one could find her anywhere in the back after searching for almost 20 minutes.

Right now at my former home in Clearwater, she is available at Target in the following locations:

Boot Ranch
Seven Springs
Tampa West
Clearwater
North Dale

Mind you this is what is showing up on the WEBSITE. I have NO visual confirmation because I now live in VA. Just did the search given all the FL sightings.

That's a crock. Talk to the manager.

Maybe they were accidentally shipped early to FL from the DC because it seems strange they are only there.

There only one DC in northern FL, so it is also strange they would get it first.

I have them traced all over California, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Florida, Georgia, DC, Alabama and I am guessing a few more East Coast states. No sightings in WA, OR, or Nevada even. But it appears more and more are showing in stock every hour. Means that stores got em in last night and are now getting processed is my guess. Hoping so at least. One report said they had 60 at his store, but would only allow 1 purchase. Not sure what's up with that. Make sure you have that DCPI number (DPCI): 207-00-1147 when you talk to a rep and be clear with them. Show pictures of it on your phone so they know what to look for. Show it in hand with a receipt...that way they can't deny it is sellable.

Cover your bases.

Went to target in jersey. No dice. I even put the code in the price checker thing to make sure the guy wasn't lying to me. Shows nothing in stock

I'll just go back in later this afternoon. I got there at 9 and half the employees were in the cafe for a meeting. There were unopened boxes in carts all over the store that were slowly being opened as I was leaving (an hour after I got there). The guy said his scanner was showing they had 41 in stock so I should be able to get one. The employee who assited was very helpful and polite and said their shipments just came last night so it might take them a while to get on the floor. The shelves were crammed full of regular Flashwing, Eyebrawl, and Thumpback.

Does anyone know off hand if Jade Flashwing is shipping in a box separate from the regular Skylanders? I thought 41 was an odd number.

I searched quite a few zipcodes of the Target DCs and only a handful appear to have shipped out to their surrounding stores. There doesn't appear to be a pattern as they are spread out all over the place.

Probably showing up at which ever stores were getting shipments when it came in. They don't send trucks to all stores at the same time.

So...to give you an idea of how I got them to sell them.

I called the front desk 0...not electronics. Have the person there look up that number.

Then have the toy or electronics person go scan it to see if it's sellable.
If he gives you a song and dance, tell him other stores have it in stock and it shows in stock on the tracker as specifically Jade Flashwing.

Then ask for the manager if he denies you the right to purchase for whatever date reason/bs reason he/she gives.

If he refuses to get the manager, call back and ask to speak to the manager by dialing 0 for the front desk person vs the department. Ask them nicely to check to see if it's purchasable as other stores have purchased it. The manager should say yes, and then ring it up and it should work.

If they deny you still...well dang...that's just poo...they shouldn't deny you.

Also, if someone does deny you from talking to a manager make sure you call back and report them.
We are required to get a manager or at least and ETL if a guest asks for one.

Man this stinks we don't have Targets in Canada were supposed to be getting targets in the spring hopfully there still selling them still

thanks for confirming that. The manager card goes a long way. People don't want to be in hot water over a toy...most at least don't. The guy was pretty resistant to sell them to me, but the minute "manager" came out of my mouth, he deferred to her. And she took care of business for me. So not to diss the electronics guys, but yeah, some have their own motives to sell or not to sell. I guess it's a push comes to shove sort of thing...play your cards right...sometimes I win. Sometimes I don't.

Now if this were Gamestop...whole other story.

SO you got one xerokills? Congrats! Thanks for the play-by-play tip, I probably would've stopped at the song and dance bit.

I'm not sure if I should bother with all of that at the moment though since they're not coming out in stock availability on the website for any location near me.

I got none. I got 2 for a friend who picked em up in Stow, Ohio. The guy there even after she went to get them said they aren't available till the 19th. Which she turned around on him by saying who she was. She said that she called and spoke to the manager. Then his tuned changed and sold her 2. 1 to her, and one to her daughter. She has 2 kids. So...I was just doing my good deed. I like making those calls. It's fun to play good cop/bad cop sometimes.

Aww, well that very nice of you!

I'm guessing NY will once again be later on in the week. Not too bad since I assume that means it'll hit that supposed date of 17th-19th.

She's available online!

ETA: $4.98 shipping.. OUCH! Maybe I'll wait to see if I can grab her in the store.

Was abou to post that. She is indeed online for ordering. You can only order 3.

Got 3 ordered, but if I find her instores, I will just buy 4 and return these, as Target online ships horribly, and most of the time packaging arrives damaged.

Has it been said already that Jade Flashwing is available on target.com? I just ordered one. Use a RedCard for free shipping and 5% back

YIKES at the s&h cost. I thought Target was another store that allowed picking up at the store?

Ordered 3...can now go back to work and bed...or work from bed...or sleep...or game or whatever...good luck all! Keep the online thing on the DL

^There's a blog post about Jade Flashwing that cites this forum as a source, guess it won't be long till people get to page 4!

Eh, the shipping can easily be covered by gas and time saved by not having to chase it down. Ordered and done, thanks for the heads up!

Sweet guys thanks for the heads up just got mine and used my RedCard

I used my wifes red card.... Is the free shipping only for the regular and not express?

Hmmm...I think I'll just wait it out even the commute will be a pain. Anyone know the best time to arrive at Target regarding exclusives?

they'll have plenty Hexin...don't sweat it. It's gonna be same availability as Molten Hot Dog was. Granite Crusher was limited moreso because it was a Giant and was half the availability of the regular figures.

Also something to keep in mind, Granite Crusher came out with the game. Which means that some people bought him instead of regular Crusher - because they came out at the same time. I know a lot of people aren't fond of buying the same figure in different colors. Those people might already have regular Flashwing by now, so won't get it. And Flashwing isn't as popular as Crusher, big rock giant beats the crap out of a girly bling dragon in the eyes of a 9 year old boy.

Target in SW Florida wouldn't sell b/c they said the system won't allow it until March 19.

Great news that Jade is out via Target.com.
There will be a LOT of Jades on the shelf in mid-march, so if you don't want to order one now, just wait a couple weeks. You'll have no problem finding them, and Target will also have a hot promotion for figures and accessories the week of March 17th AND the week of March 24th.
So if you need MULTIPLE Skylanders, or want more than one Jade, it will pay to wait until then.

Fleija that sounds exactly like my story...too funny!

Lesty, Question for you..... do you know anything about how on-line ordering? If so, how long will it take for them to cancel orders if they do?

Thanks for the heads up. I just ordered two through Target.com.
The total was $20.57
Free shipping if you use your Target REDcard.

Nothing here on the East Coast of Florida yet. Here in Vero Beach was just in Target and they had none yet and none showing on order as of yet. Checked the Website and here on the Treasure Coast Vero Beach, Port St Lucie, Jensen Beach/Stuart, etc. show out of stock. I'm sure they'll be here next week at the latest, especially since you guys are finding them on the West Coast of Fl and in Orlando. Have to pick a game up a game at Gamestop on Tues anyway, so I'll check again then. Did however pick up a Molten Hot Dog at my Wal Mart today. He looks much better than I thought he would still a little strange in the Color choices, but really like him more than I thought. Also Ninjini due from Amazon on Monday. Going to be a busy weekend and week. Awesome! God Bless and Happy Hunting!!

Fleija Congrats...we got Ninijini and Molten Hotdog but no Jade Flashwing in South Florida. Hopefully, she will be here this week!

I agree on the Molten Hot Dog. The pics do not do him any good. lol

Just out of curiosity, if I go to a Target, what sort of number should I give them? Should I print out the page on target's website? What number should I give them to look up?

Spyroflame it is this number.... DPCI :207-00-1147

Hey Spyroflame

I gave them the DPCI number from the website 207-00-1147. He put it in his scanner gun thingy and it showed Jade Flashwing and quantity. He said usually the DPCI numbers are generic but apparently for Jade she has her own. Just take this number to your local target, or call if it's a long drive and it should tell you. Hope this helps

I'm not doubting you, but am curious, WHERE in Indiana did you trace them?? I live in Indianapolis and their website currently tells me there is nothing within an 80 mile radius of here.... also called 2 stores nearby, nothing in stock, nothing on the shipping list!!
