Here on the Treasure Coast of Fl in Vero Beach they got in 1 box of Giants today with Ninjini, Thumpback and Eyebrawl in it, but no singles. Their is however a single box on the way that I am assuming will have Spyro and Wrecking Ball in it. My manager thought it might be in the back and was so nice to check for me, but unfortunately it did not come in today. Tomorrow or Thursday probably since it was expected today. Will check with him again each day this week. He's so great. he hold my Skylanders for me and even calls me when they come in. Great day. Already had Ninjini form Amazon but it was nice just to see her in the stores. Did pick up a Jade Flashwing at my Target. They had 12 in a new box. They had to go to the back to get it. She looks really cool. Awesome day. Happy Hunting and God Bless!!

Our GameStop only got one each of Spyro and Wrecking Ball. If Vhraina hadn't called literally as they were unpacking and asked to hold them for us, I'm not sure we would have gotten them either. As you can see from GameMaster's box assortments, Spyro and Wrecking Ball aren't treated as being important to the wave at all. We have multiples of characters that have been out since October, but just one of each of the new toys per case.

I don't automatically assume an employee is lying to me just because they don't give me what I want. We already know that GameStop has a habit of opening boxes at the warehouse and shipping out split cases. There's no reason for me to believe that isn't a possibility. The two females that were working and helping me were very nice. In fact, I called their store about 45 mins before and asked if they had gotten a shipment today. They said they did, but didn't know what was in it yet. They did confirm Skylanders, but couldn't confirm the two I asked about (Spyro and WB, of course) was in it and I said that was enough to make it worth the drive. When I got there, they asked if I was the guy who called about Skylanders. I said yes, and they pulled the two I asked about from under the counter for me. |

To be fair, all Series 2 characters have been packed one-per-case, I think. |

They haven't been sent split shipments since the first game. Ever since Giants launched, they get figures in their normal assortments.
And if it isn't lying, it's a lack of knowledge on that store's behalf. Whatever the case, it wasn't a case of split shipment. Maybe they just didn't have room or check those boxes well enough to see Hot Dog and Shroomboom in there.

Awesome day for my kid. Was at Gamestop to pick up my pre-order of Tomb Raider when I spotted an open box of Skylanders on the floor. I ask the manager (who hooks me up all the time) if those just came in. He tells me that he just literally just opened the box. I ask him if there is a Series 2 Spyro and Wrecking Ball. He handed me the box and sure enough, there were 1 of each inside. I was pumped. I was about to ask him when his next shipment was going to arrive before I spotted the box. Needless to say I picked those two up. Afterwards, I went across the street to pick up my Site-to-Store Molten Hot Dog at Walmart. I went back to Electronics to see if the had any on the shelf and they did not. When I picked up my package, the kid who rang me out was surprised to see that I had gotten it. He said the store hasn't even received a shipment of Molten Hot Dogs. Once I got home, I received my shipping confirmation from Target for my Jade Flashwing which will arrive on Monday. I was also able to pick up Ninjini last Thursday. If anyone cares or is keeping track, I live just outside of Buffalo, NY.

Dido my friend.. Thursday at 1130ish is your winner this week at good old Gamestop. Last year scored Whammy the same way, and then thump and brawl .. Walmart had at least 20 a piece of those guys Tuesday night... A nice employee said she had stuff in the back but..It was street dated. Bummer.

I got one (1) of each - Spyro and Wrecking Ball at Gamestop in Chesapeake Sq Mall. Only ones to arrive. Pembroke Mall Gamestop was holding a Wrecking Ball for me but Im not getting it. No Spyro there. If you are interested in it, let me know so I can call and stop the hold and you can get it. Otherwise, someone else will snatch it.

Just got 1 of each at the Gamestops in the South Hill Mall in Puyallup, WA. Both (there are 2 Gamestops) only had 1 of each. The first one an employee bought Spyro so I bought the Wrecking Ball. The other Gamestop had both so I bought the Spyro from them leaving Wrecking Ball. One of the Gamestops had 4 Ninjini figures come in (bought one for myself and an employee) so they should have 2 more if you still need her.

I was going to wait on Spyro and Wrecking Ball, hoping they would be at Target when Jade is officially out on the 17th, so I could do the Buy 2, Get 1 free offer. But when I stopped into Gamestop today in Lino Lakes, MN, they had Wrecking Ball out, and he's one of my son's favorites, so I had to buy him. This is after I stopped at Toys R us earlier in the day about bought Legendary Lightcore Chill, Legendary Bouncer and the Legendary 3-pack with SlamBam, Chop Chop and Jet Vac. All of this, on a freaking Wednesday?

How is it so many people are having such good luck finding these. I stopped at multiple Gamestops today right when deliveries came in and all of them either got nothing at all or just old stuff. I can't even find Ninjini at any of them.

trixster68 Emerald Sparx Gems: 3813 |
#92 Posted: 00:56:32 07/03/2013
Most Gamestops got one case of 12 figures in and they only had 1 each of spryo and wrecking ball series 2 so my guess is that's why you are having trouble finding them. Good luck on your hunt.

I know they are both 1 in a box but I just find it so weird how everyone is having such good luck finding them. I've got about 12 Gamestop stores within an hour or so of me. Only one single store got in a box that had Spyro & Wrecking Ball. All the others have got nothing new not even Ninjini.

Skyworldgod, if you live in Oklahoma City, you can forget about checking Gamestops. I got 4 from 4 Gamestops two days ago, and the other stores are out.
However, everyone should know that soon, wave 4 will be everywhere, just like wave 3 is currently. Once these things hit TRU, Walmart, and Best Buy, everyone will be able to find them.
