Thank you very much for posting the picture of them Zer0! I was really hoping someone would, it didn't occur to me to screenshot them until after I completed my last transaction. Eye Small is my favorite figure out of all of them, he seems to have a much more energetic pose than the other three's simple (and samey) poses.

But I agree with you too, a full set costs $28 max just for the bags, so asking for the codes for free is kinda rude in my opinion.

I don't mind the wait so much, I kinda enjoy the hunt w/ my son, my concern is that everyone else will be entering codes and taking up supply while we're still searching and by the time we get four codes they will be all out of a character or all out of stock completely.
Update: Just spoke w/manager from Publix and she said she talked to her Frito-Lay distributor while I was on hold. Apparently they are sold out of the promo bags in my area, but will be getting more in 2-3 weeks. Also, they told her that those bags with the promo will go to Wal Mart first before any other stores would be able to get them. Also when I talked to the stock guy at one of my Wal Marts he said he hasn't seen the Skylanders Giants bags in about a month......meaning they put them out early and I missed it and probably have to check in 2-3 weeks and get lucky.

PICTURES INCOMING, found a few bags tonight. 9 to be exact. Long Island, NY


Only two different types that had them in my store.

front

back

inside

back closer.

Coupons are against the back of the bag so open the bag from the top.

Any other photos ppl want, let me know.

Are you in Westbury? Thats were I am.

Hello fellow Long Islander.
I got the bags in east meadow and westbury. I live in East Meadow

Anyone from the northern Virginia area found any? I've been to numerous targets, walmarts, giant, food lion, shoppers, Safeway and nothing so far. I was hoping to see more volume and displays considering the 4th is this week and people will be eating some chips!

Don't worry about it. I sent my UPC codes and forms in at the tail end of the promotion last time and received all my first choices. Then there was apparently enough of a surplus that Gamestop ended up with them for promotions. My local Gamestop even still has some now.

The promotion is 2 days old, they aren't going to run out anytime soon. It runs until mid October. It is highly unlikely that they would not anticipate interest badly enough to not at least have enough to run until fairly near the expiration. And if they did, they would just get more from TFB.

dont worry uk users if any are on this topic

we will probobly get them next year because i think every time america has a sidekicks promo we will get the previous one

A friend of mine in USA now has a stupid amount of crisps (chips), he was kind enough to order 2 x sets of these for me, I'm paying him back the cost price and he gets to munch through 160 packets of chips. Win Win !!

Just went to Wal-Mart in Cedar Rapids, IA ... not on the shelves, and the Frito Lay guy had just finished stocking them.

I got my bags very late in the game last year, so I'm not worried about finding them eventually.

Thanx for setting my mind at ease, I just hate the "while supplies last" disclaimer, guess it makes me a little paranoid!

via the FRITO LAY rep and "friend".. got the hookup ! Ordered one of each for my lil one.. !

[quote=j32bassThanx for setting my mind at ease, I just hate the "while supplies last" disclaimer, guess it makes me a little paranoid! [/quote] Indeed. I think that's mostly by design. They want to light a fire under your butt to ensure you spend the money to take advantage of the promotion as soon as possible, rather than just sitting on it until the last minute and possibly not doing it at all. It's just a marketing strategy.

Even so, I wouldn't wait extremely long, mostly because the longer you wait, the longer it'll take to receive them. I do think you can afford to relax just a bit, though.

No luck in a Sacramento Walmart or Safeway.
I spoke to managers there and will probably be checking every day or so.

Xerxxees, I appreciate you reporting on the area earlier.

Still nothing in central Minnesota.

Now there is at Target, but not Walmart nor Menards. At least in my part of central MN.

I think east coast got them first because the walmart i go to normally is stupidly stocked with them. There's about 20-30 skylander bags in towers that no one has even touched yet.

Yet my area has the stupidest employees and has barely any Assortment Bags.

I saw them at my local Kroger and will be picking up a bag later for a Minijini. May get another later for Eye Small.

Picked up 4 bags today at Walmart in Jackson, MI!! Got all 4 of mine ordered now.

I got my 16 ordered, thanks to a friend picking me up 13 bags from Wyoming. I found 3 bags today at my local Walmart, for a total of 16 bags, and 16 Giantkicks.

**** you're so lucky!!!!!!!

They're out now at Target, according to Weebbly.

I found some at Target in Roseville, MN today. And at Cub Foods in White Bear Lake, MN yesterday

Found like 10+ bags at a Wal-Mart in SoCal at $6.48 each. Ended up buying 4 of the purple bags. All of my codes were printed on a card with coupons for Swap force etc...

Just purchased all 4 figures for $10. Total for 4 bags of chips + 4 sidekicks = $36

Why, on earth, would you need four sets?

For his collections, if you see his collections you'll know why he needs that many.

Now I wish i waited because tthe ones printed on the bags suck. Id rather have the cards just to pull out instead of cutting out all this codes and coupons.

And the person below your post as well. And everyone used to put weebby, now they put Weebbly.

Well, specifically -

1 set for me (open)
1 set for me (closed)
1 set for my kids
1 set for Mario7604, because the guy was nice enough to stick his neck out for me when he didn't have to. He contacted me, offering to help me complete my collection. So, I decided to gift him for keeping me in his thoughts, which lead me to completing my collection.

Another update: We have them in Palm Coast, FL. at the Publix on US 100, and the Target at US 100. Got all four, If someone wants to send me the price of the chips, I'll send the card to ya and Email you the code. Of course this deal sucks for you because you don't get the chips, but if it's worth it to you to get the codes, I'll do it and it's better than Ebay.

Got Barky Thumpling And Minijini!
Anyone have a extra code?

Ordered or received?

^ Nobody will get them for 10-12 weeks.

^ Nobody will get them for 10-12 weeks.

Yes, please guys don't get people riled up thinking they are going to get them in a few days. Even so, I imagine we have weeks of "where the heck are my giantkicks!?!????!" posts to look forward to. If the date is not September 22nd, 2013 or later then they are not late for anyone yet! And until September 8th they haven't even reached the minimum date.

I know they ask for your email when you order along with the address where to go obviously, but has anyone gotten an email like a confirmation for their order? I haven't had any email info at all yet.

^i got emails of my receipts for each character so I guess that's like a confirmation email. I got them literally right after I finished ordering each one. The email just stated what figure I ordered and the price, etc.

Got 4 bags for our Lil guy...he was so thrilled...got them in Walmart in South Florida!

Picked up one bag. Have yet to use the codeand will have to have it mailed to a friend's house.

Got 4 bags today Centerville, Oh Walmart ordered them tonight things are good here in Dayton Oh.. Good luck all and happy hunting.

I see that they are popping up on the East Coast, Any sightings on the West? More specifically: California?

Yep, same question. I may drive around today on my lunch break again.

Does anyone know if there'll be a "no purchase necessary" option (like there was with the Hot Head promotion a while back)? All I can find in the linked "Terms and Conditions" is infringement information...
