Well. I just got an email from cduniverse saying my figure is also on backorder. May not get it until September. I ordered a backup at walmart. Be funny if I get both. If I do, I'll very likely will sell it or trade it for another figure with someone.

Same thing here. Look at the fine print for the Wal Mart warning though...........this tree rex is very very different than what we are used to from Skylanders!

I called Walmart and they looked up the UPC, "Uh, I didn't find any with a green packaging with the Giants, it shows as 10 on the floor, I mean, if its not in the back, it could be stolen, I don't know."

>->

Lol what?

my local walmart website says august 7th for store pickup

I saw like 20 at my walmart today.

Mmhmm, he didn't want to do the UPC because "it shows up as skylander minis or bigs and like 100". I had to ask to speak to his manager so he could do the UPC.

Walmart.com says they're Out of Stock for the entire area here. Is the website generally accurate at listing stock?

Those won't help anyone. TRU looks up items with their 6-digit item number. It should be on the receipt. I think it would go a long way in helping people find these through TRU, since it's on a store-by-store basis on who is selling them now or the 18th.

Found it
Edited the target one above too sorry for the double image, posting on my phone sucks.

Just wanted to point out that I just called Toys R Us with the store item number above (959034), and the salesperson on the phone told me this is the same number for a $15.99 Giants character single-pack, in general. She's just one sales clerk, and could be wrong, of course, but I wanted to share the info with others here just in case. If you have a similar experience, you're not alone.

I don't think that is correct. When I had them look up the item # it said Skylanders Tree. I called one TRU and they said they had 18 of them in the system, but couldn't find the actual character in the store.

I used the walmart.com inventory check before going to a nearby one. It was listed as in stock and I found about a dozen on the floor when I got there. So it seems to be accurate. Picked up 2 (one to open, one to keep/trade). There were also plenty of Fritolays sidekicks packages. It's in Mt View, CA, btw.

No not at all.

And you turned out pretty okay.


Short of "my kid is dying and needs this prescription to live", I don't think there's an occasion where you're absolutely "forced" to buy a particular toy for a kid.

When I was younger, there were certain toys I wanted. I didn't always get them. When I did, awesome. When I didn't, I usually got something else - and you know what? I played with it just the same. Some of my favorite games growing up were cheap, bargain bin titles because my mother couldn't really afford to throw $50+ on the "good" games. Still enjoyed them, still got by in life. Still have a lot of them to this day.

i can just imagine a child screaming "I NEED GNARLY! I NEED IT!" then watching as he dies as his parents take the packaged tree out of his hands.

horrifying.

Remember what you did when the ga,e came out TWEE WEX

Here is mine

Me: Ahh got one of the last tree Rexes
Toodler: TWEE WEX!
Mom: No son you can't have that!
Toddler: FUUUUUUUUUUU *head explodes*

Guys, before you read this you must understand that what I am about to say is 100% True, as it may sound otherwise and I do not have any pictures. If you need pictures to verify what I am going to say, please stop reading right here.

I Went to Wal Mart and saw: Gnarly Tree Rex, Warnado, S1 Hex, S1 Lightning Rod, S2 Hex, S2 Double Trouble, and lots and lots of LC Shroomboom. I picked up the Warnado and bought it. I live in Canada. SO GNARLYS OUT THERE, GO GET HIM!

I also got gnarly at future shop

Good for you, man. He looks epic and if he wasnt in the starter pack I would TOTTALY buy, cause I dont see a point in buying a variant of a guy I already have. But thats just me.

Trying a different skill tree without resetting is a good reason IMO.

Official packaging art.

We've seen it. It's on the front page of the website. Found GTR at Walmart in Surprise, AZ, the Walmart at 303 and Waddell, prasada gateway, check the TV display in the back, the second display for Skylanders are there, with GTR.

If only someone could rig that into making a boxed Tree Rex figure.

that would be all kinds of epic there.

Unbelievable! Gnarly Tree Rex finally got his own single pack! Super sweet. I really hope they'll do the same for Dark Ninja Stealth Elf as soon as SSF arrives.

I just purchased one at the Wal Mart in Aliso Viejo, CA. They had at least 6 in stock.

Nothing in the NJ area? Anyone near there?

Guys, it's just like the S2 Drobot scenario.. West coast got them first, then after 2 or 3 days they started to appear further East. :) Be patient, we'll get them..

well the site says there are some available for store pick up near me in Milwaukee WI will most likely pick one up tomorrow

I haven't been out looking since I don't see the need to until SF comes out, but if I come across any this weekend, I'll let you know.

It's beautiful!

I'll be checking around IL,chicago until the 18th of the month (or possibley until the end of the month)

Website says they are near me

Thank you! I'm currently in Chicago, and the only hunting spot near me is a small Best Buy..

Saw a bunch at Walmart in Pleasanton, CA. Bought one for me and my brother bought one too. They had at least 10 left.

San Leandro, CA Walmart had some too (I didn't count how many).

Dammit. You can't search stores for it via the website anymore. That's problematic.

I am planning on bying two. One for myself, one for a card game tournament later this year. Might as well get one early.

Going to to go check my local Walmart in a half an hour or so i live about around chicago if any one lives around there I will notifiy them right away

Im in augusta, ga. My wife works at TRU and their gnarly tree rexes are boxed up with a release date of 8/16 I was hoping to get one early but they are stiklers about not releasing until the date on the box. I hit all the targets, walmarts, etc. with no luck.

Got a call from my local Gamestop and 20 minutes later I picked them up...2 for myself and the others for family and friends. Don't think they realized there was a street date but they said they didn't have one.

So Walmart and gamestop so far...

He looks really sharp in the box. Glad they decided ro release him in a single.

He looks amazing! I decided to order one from Walmart.com so I can keep saving for Disney Infinity! My Mom is buying it since I passed my Driving test! It said it wouldn't arrive until Aug 12.

EDIT: Actually she isn't...oh well!

I'VE WASTED MY MONEY!!!!!!!!

he looks good in box..

Just nabbed one from GameStop left the other 5 for others to grab

o.o my gamestop had 5 left when I went to get mine. (Technically 6 because the clerk saved one out of sight for me due to me being a regular)

Was it the Gamestop on Arden?


O man loving my Gnarly Tree Rex
Took him down the Lumbering laserer path

Boy I hope this makes it to Australia. I don't think came out here; then again, I had doubts about and she's now available as a Target exclusive. Maybe will be available only at Big W?

Granite crusher was in Big W at the start, they had about 60 in Campsie before Christmas.

7 left at a Game Stop in Yonkers NY after i bought one today. asked about a street date on these and kid said none that he knew other than 8/1 I could have bought a few more for "FRIENDS and FAMILY" after he asked me if i wanted more than one but didn't.....
