Well--not begging but I had in ny guestbook--willing to trade some errors
I got a message saying it needed to be changed because against rules....so my understanding that everywhere except trading cards/stickers ---everywhere--post, signature, guestbook--you cannot mention any type of exchange buy/trade/sell/give. ( my words are a synopsis not exact quotes)
Do I misunderstand? Is begging ok but selling, trading, etc not? I see where you are coming from UncleBob

lol I know... but I love to trade! I made a chat box for skylanders trading but... I can't post it or it'll be against the rules...

And you even blocked me over it.. AND now you send me a PM when I can't message you back?
Real mature.
Unblock me so I can reply.

Well, it's not my call - it is up to Dark himself, but there was a code thread for Universe that went on for quite some time and no one ever complained...

Well seems random to me--but then nothing is ever 100% consistent

There is no good reason why a separate trading thread cannot be considered on this site. It would be extremely helpful for many of us in a lot of ways. If this site wants to be the go to place for information and discussion then they are going to have to listen to what the people want on here. Post a disclaimer, advise people it is at their own risk to conduct any trades or sales and leave it at that. Stop standing behind some antiquated regulations that have never been equally enforced. Begging, now that is a whole different type of beast. That just makes you look foolish and makes people consider their "block" option. Mr. Dark and Hunters........tear down this wall!

Got ninjini and Barkley in the mail today. I'm really tempted to order another Barkley and custom him to look gnarly but I'm not sure. They could do better with the paintjobs. There is bits of red on ninjini's ear and bits of blue on the hair. Other than that, she looks cute! Still like whisper elf more though.

Mini-Jini is only for 26$ the 1st one was like 50$

on wednesday got my last two in of barkley and mini jini and the friday before that got the first two of eye small and thumpling so it seems that is probably how they send them depending on how you ordered them.

Seems a good enough idea for a separate portion of the forums which might be a little safer than trying to go to other sites and try to trade. have a disclaimer of course as suggested and as long as it's not begging should be good.

& there can ALWAYS be a sticky thread JUST for user feedback. & you have to have AT LEAST 40 serious posts on the thread b4 being able to transact with them. something serious like that, & any scammers get banned instantly. make a disclaimer the site is in noway responsible & that its purely by our choice & judgement. This is exactly how we handle it at my digimon forum. and! nothing is allowed to be done thru PM so it can be monitored & it would be first come first served, no bidding. thats what ebay is for. if we all follow the rules & add it to the rules & help section I think it would be a hit & work.

cheapassgamer.com has a trading section on their site. It has a complete disclaimer before it advising that it is at your own risk to trade or sell anything. I would much rather deal with people that I have met on here in the past few months I have been on here than some unknown person on another site that doesn't have the same appreciation for that game as we do. I have already conducted around 10 deals with people on here, but having to do it in the round about way that is required of us seems silly.

If you want a Buy/Sell/Trade section, take it to Dark on the suggestions forum.

He'll probably say "No" (again), but make your case there. It's not going to happen by trying to argue for it in random threads on here.

I think that even more that a straight out buy/trade/sell board, we should have somewhere we can post what we are looking for and if someone has it to sell or trade, they can contact the person looking. IMO.

Got all but Eye Small. Wondering why he isn't here yet.

Got all but barkley. Hope the postman didn't drop it off at the wrong address.

My postman has done that 2x now. Luckily I have honest neighbors. Hope you find it Huntrz2

Wow. So while trying to redeem my first code, I got an error message while trying to pay. Called and got a replacement code. Replacement code tells me it has already been used. The next code I got out of a bag went to the payment page and guess what, another error. So even though I never finished the whole process, all my codes have now technically been redeemed even though I never ordered anything. So I guess I know what I'll be doing tomorrow. Calling and complaining... Hooray for me.

You should be able to get your stuff straightened out, they were nice when I had trouble.
Did they tell you to wait several days before using your replacement code? For my problem, the rep told me to wait until a few days before using my new code.


Still waiting on my Eye Small, basically the first 3 came right away but there seems to be a long break in shipments.

I waited like a full month before using the replacement.

Mine hasn't arrived yet either and he was shipped the 25th of July...

Got my two sets; trying to get enough to get two more sets and I'll be set.

Okay, I called customer service today and was told that if there is an error in the process and you can't re-enter the code, they will automatically reset them after a week or two. I was finally able to redeem my very first code for Mini-jini. Now I just have to wait for my other two codes to reset.

I had called about an issue before, so I know all 4 were shipped out by August 6th because the customer service rep said they were. If Eye Small doesn't come soon, I may call again and see what's up.

What stinks is Eye-Small was one I really wanted too.

My sidekicks collection feels so incomplete without him or Trigger Snappy...

Still waiting on Thumpling and Eye-Small...

The very helpful representative told me to call August 25 if I still hadn't received him so for you I would call September 6th or so.

Got !

An interesting observation... I entered my codes and paid for all four of them and BOOM, Barkley arrived like a week later! How is that possible? I am still waiting for the other three (8-12 weeks I guess...) Did they over manufacture Barkley due to the fact that they think everyone has a Tree Rex and will want Barkley? Just very strange considering some people in posts above here are waiting on Barkley.

Weird.

-VM

all four of mine are now here and following around my kids in their never ending skylands adventure, and it only took four weeks for the first two (eyesmall and thumpling) and five for the other two barkley and mini-jini)

I had the same observation videomancini. I sent all four of my codes in one day about two weeks after the promo started. I got Barkley one week after, but have been waiting ever since for the other three. Seems like it's been forever. Should be getting them before Oct though.

Bolded for point. My sidekicks haven't shipped yet, according to the customer service, yet yours shipped the 6th. How come? I ordered mine last month around this time!

is there a way to see if your giantkicks have shipped?

Just call Frito-Lay. Tell them your name, address, and zip code, then they'll check their database if anything has shipped to that residence.

Sorry for double post, but I think another wave of sidekicks might be shipping soon, because when I called Frito-Lay yesterday, they said all of my sidekicks were packaged and ready to ship. Anyone else think yours might ship soon?

Ready to ship. What happened, did they forget we paid for their shipping? Joking, but really it's been awhile since I got one and i ordered all four on the same day. I hope they come soon, dying of suspense here.

Yeah, I will be calling today to see if they shipped or not. If they have, I will assume everyone else's has as well. Hopefully I will get mine soon.

i hope i get mine soon!

still havent got my last 2 (Forgot to order barkley but starting to not want him)
Still waiting on Eye small and minijini

Eye Small still hasn't shown...

Not yet, well not a second time.


I had called back around August 6th, and was told they were all being shipped. 3 of them were here within a week of that.

I'm following some advice from earlier on in this or another thread and waiting until September 6th before calling again.

You know, I just called Frito-Lay, and they said all of my sidekicks have shipped around the 27th-28th, except Eye-Small. Think there is a pattern here?

I just received one in the mail today. Mini-Jini. So that's 2 out of the 4 I've been waiting for.
Not sure if there is a pattern. If it's once a month per figure then I've got two more months to wait. I don't see any pattern based on which one you'll get.

My Eye Small hasn't shown either

Barkley and mini Jini arrived

Barkley alone arrived.

and arrived. I find it strange that my hasn't shipped out yet. Maybe so many people ordered them that they had to produce more? And they have to wait to receive them?

I was told my 2nd, 3rd and 4th sets all shipped last week. A different figure each day. They must send each figure out in batches because so far I have only gotten Barkley.

I received Barkley and Mini-Jini in the mail today. These were the first two I ordered and it only took about 2-3 weeks to get here.

We got mini-jini & thumpling this week so far. Still waiting on barkley & eye small.

Got Thumpling today. 2 to go.

Minijini came!
