As the topic says, just waltzed in to my Best Buy in Dewitt, NY, and there she was. Only one, and clearly hidden behind other giants, but I found her! Looks like the time is now for her to start hitting stores other than TRU. So excited. I don't think I've ever bought a skylander from Best Buy... their stock always sucks here. I never in a million years expected to get so lucky!

Congrats! My Best Buy has always only had the Wave 1 stuff, never anything more, and after Boxing Day, they didn't seem to get anything else in. So, awesome find, my friend!

I wouldn't mind my Best Buy sharing the love with the rock variants.

I wish I would have known they were out. My local wal-mart had them behind a counter so I couldn't look and I didn't know about when I went to TRU so I didn't look. smilie

I need them, the snow flocked ones, and Glitter Sonic Boom. I have a Glitter Sprocket on the way1 smilie

I'm hoping to watch ebay... I don't like to do that but, if I can pick them up "cheap" I'll take a stab at it.

Lucky indeed. Check mine after seeing this thread while out. Nothing but older stuff unfortunately.

It was neat to see some SSA Drobots though heh.

My BestBuy has had next to nothing in stock since Xmas. Seems like the same 13 single pack skylanders. But this is great news cause the nearest TRU is about a 45 min drive for me.

Yeah the rest of their stock was pretty great too, which is NEVER the case. They had loads of EB, TB, scorpion striker, s2 lrod, and a couple lcore shroomys. I was shocked, as we just kind of went there on a whim.

The Best Buy in Aliso Viejo, CA had the most impressive supply of Skylanders I have ever seen. They had rows of every Giant minus Bouncer and every figure minus the Hot Dog battle pack. 6 Ninjini at the main display and 6 more at the checkout line. I was hoping for an early Spyro/Wrecking ball sighting, but no luck.

Edit:
Here is a pic of the bulk of the Giants

Friend of mine texted me about an hour ago and told me that he had found Ninjini at the Best Buy store in Nashua, New Hampshire. My friend grabbed 2 of them (one for me), then another person apparently grabbed the other 6 they had got in.

Your friend is a HOARDER.

Yes, what Bazinga said. My friend only got the 2 since we watch out for each other, then his wife saw another person grab the rest when they were leaving te section.

I checked Best Buy today since I still need 1 Ninjini for my dad (he collects just the Giants). The place was pretty much wiped clean of all Skylanders. The only giant that was there was a few of Swarm.

All I can say is this by far the best stocked Best Buy display I have ever seen anywhere.
Usually when I visit a Best Buy, the display is in total disarray, with slim pickings, and knocked-down and partially-opened packages on the floor and shelves near the display.

Impressive indeed. I have never seen a Best Buy with that many figures, even on the Giants release day. The three BBs in my area haven't been replenished since before Christmas. All of them have maybe 30-35 singles and 15-20 3-packs with nothing beyond Wave 2. One of them received some Hot Heads about a month ago, but the others haven't had any new stock in months.

Just checked Best Buy again as I was looking for the collectors edition of Tomb Raider (which they didn't have) and they still didn't have any Ninjini's.
