They only had two or three of each character and no I didn't see anything out of place.

I live in NJ, central NJ and our TRU had the display up with no new figures.

They had two hooks and the price tags for them but those were the only two packs not out, including the starter packs. They weren't out either but also had tags and a space help

What's even funnier is that they probably just put out all of the LC Hex that were earmarked for preorders.

I wonder if any of the old giants display things are being dumped. I would love one of those!

Even if its just the plastic frame bit with the "active" parts removed.

Ok with these pictures and the amount of SF characters on the pegs in all stores I'm just wondering if they are going to limit on how many you could buy or is this going to be a free for all first com first served?

Actually, I doubt it. That stuff, for the most part, gets sent back to the game company, IE Activision.

I was curious about the same thing. They need to have a ticket system or something allowing people to get at least one of every character they have available.

Maybe for the "most" part. But my local walmart toy manager . offered to sell it to me yesterday. I've also seen a few on ebay and corresponded with sellers who work at retail stores. But im sure it isn't the norm.

I find it VERY hard to believe that an employee of any store doesn't realize when Swap Force comes out. Arguably one of the biggest games of the year, why would they put out entire displays of figures by mistake!? I can understand a few slipping onto the shelf or a starter pack here or there...but this Target display!? They are asking for annoyed parents, as the kids won't understand "Hey we have to put this back" after the register street dates it.

When I worked at a toy store years ago, stuff like this usually just gets dumped or an employee takes it home. I have a light-up Playstation sign and got a GameBoy when they got rid of the displays. I'm pretty sure someone even got the huge Playstation display (that included a Playstation and TV) when they got rid of it. I doubt things are ran any differently.

Actually, it looks more REPURPOSED to me.It looks exactly like the Giants one. All one has to do is to "swap out" stuff...

get it...swap?

Our Target had all character out two days ago and had the display with characters out to swap. My lil guy saw it and we tried to purchase and it wouldn't let us until Oct 13. My lil guy told the employee they were not suppose to have them out until Sunday and advise him to put them away...lol. The employee took them all in the back room but at least my lil guy was in heaven. He can't wait till Sunday.

Most employees know jack about skylanders it's just some game. They might have been told to take the display unit out and they took that as put it all out. Some also don't read what the boxes say or they aren't label correctly. Others come in off there 2nd or 3rd job and just put stuff out and dont care. This is life it happens, this is also why the cashier/selling system locks out those upu from being sold, to prevent this.

This is interesting because it gives some hint about which characters are coming out. I do agree that it's going to suck for little kids who don't understand why they can't have the toys yet when they're right there.

That's cool. You know, I'm not a fan of kids. I play the game myself (well, my fiancé and I) but your kid sounds like an intelligent, well-rounded little guy. One you could sit down and have a conversation with. You don't see that a lot anymore. I work retail and see a lot of screaming/bawling/bratty little kids. I enjoy the ones, few and far between, who you can actually speak intelligently to. :-D Glad he 'gets it' and isn't too upset.
