Well I finally came across the bags in a retail store in the Chicago Suburbs. Toys R Us of all places. They got about 10 total bags in today. May want to venture out and look around your local Toys R Us for these as well.

Entered my first code an won, hooray!

When did Toys R Us start selling food? Mine has candy/small snacks in the cashier isles but don't see any food or groceries anywhere. Where about in the store did you find these bags at ?

That was my same thought... Hmm guess its worth a look tomorrow.

Both of my winning codes are in the system. They're just waiting for the figures to come in so they can ship them out to us.


I even mentioned to the manager that all of you guys are having issues. He said that the best thing to do is to call in if you don't receive them soon.

And, the email was just for the code.

The Toys R Us' by me were stocked up with Halloween candy. I assume it's due to that they carried the chips. They put the bags out near the Skylander area. The price per bag is $6.99.

Anyone that has received their codes via email, what was the email address that sent them? I'd like to go ahead and whitelist that address so that if/when mine ever arrive they don't get buried in my spam folder.

Did he tell you when they are getting them in?...like a date? ...or is it like you said...they're just waiting for them to get there, and don't know a timeline.
Like everybody else...where all wanting to get our hands on it, since none of us know what it looks like. All we can go on is the artwork.

Today code lost

Just called and got the 3 codes I mailed in for, rep said they were just put in the system yesterday. I started to play the odds and wait till an odd time to try one but decided just to go ahead and play one since I had 3. Glad I did because it was a winner!!!

Finally found a friend who lived near a Kroger to grab me some and send me the codes... First try was a bust, which wouldn't be so disappointing had I not read pages upon pages of people winning every time.

Anyone find them in Orlando fl yet?

None in Bradenton/sarasota

Regarding the info I posted about Toys R Us carrying these bags here is some info that may be helpful to those looking in the midwest.

Item number, shipping hub, TrU item#, quantity in the batch, ship or label date of 10/21/13 etc.






Best of luck to those still hunting.

the frito lay GITD Rattle Shake bag, the website listed on the bag does not work.

Curse me!

After taking two days, driving over 200 miles, giving up and spending $30 to buy a code on eBay...

...I freaking find a giant display of them.

I had to go out of town for business today. Place is about 2 hours from me - and, sadly, about a half hour further than I drove over the weekend... but it's some getto Walmart in some tiny no-name town in southern Illinois... and they had a freaking displayer full of them.

::facepalm::

What have I always said about secondary sales? Be patient.

@ Unclebob. *hug* its ok.

If you waited UncleBob you may have had to pay over $40 like I just did for a Flocked Stump Smash. You never, never know with these things.

You never do.

Maybe one of the bags I picked up will be another winner and I can sell the figure for $200 to make up my costs.

Because the site won't be active till 11/3/2013.

After winning I got the following email. I didnt get this for any of the other wins over the last couple days. Anybody else get this? Did you get one for every win?

So toysrus is selling chips?

Mordelack: I didn't get an email like that either time I won. Maybe it means that the final screen was not completed where you input your address?

So miffed at the lack of bags I find...

I agree.
When you input the code, you also inputted your email address. Once you won there was a link to click on to finalize your winning. If you did not click on the link and closed the site, this is why you got the email.

Thanks guys, I think you are both correct. That is what happened.

Thanks

I mailed in for five codes about two and a half weeks ago. Since I wasn't sure exactly how the game worked, I got paranoid and called in Monday to see what was going on. The CSR was very nice and, after verifying my information and seeing I was in the system, gave me all my codes. I tried one right away and it won. Since then, I've tried one every morning and they have all been winners. I have one code left but I don't want to use it or give it away because I don't want to mess up my previous wins. I am afraid they've got all my info in their system tied to those codes, and using more than limit for four would void my other ones. They said the codes are not transferable in any way either in the official rules.

Thats not hppw they work. I've talked to the CSR about it.

I mailed in 5 codes on 10/17. Called Frito Lay on 10/24. They had one code for me in the system. I used it today and it was a winner.

Congrats techelement!

Thank you Scratchdesk for the Toys R Us tip. I live in South Central PA and was unable to locate the Fright Rider bags anywhere. I went to my local Toys R Us today and they had about 8-10 bags. I picked up 2 bags. I won a Fright Rider on my second code! I still have not seen any GITD Rattle Shake bags.

So I called today and asked about the index cards I sent in and they said they were in the system and they would email them to me. After being on hold for about 5 minutes, the lady says she emailed all 10 codes at once. It's been about 5 hours and STILL no email. I have no idea what happened but it looks like I'll be calling again tomorrow, ugh

Lost >.>

Yea, I finally found a bag. Entered the code and lost. Bah!

Edit: Played my second bag and won! Very excited to actually be getting one of these!!!!

I won one! Coolies!

FINALLY received all 10 of my codes, I have some extra ones now so who ever needs one please pm me

I have 2 winners for myself and 3 left to give away out of all 10 codes I received

Can someone with extra codes please pm me. I really dont want to resort to ebay

Ditto for me too! I've been looking and haven't found squat.

Lost again.

found them at toys r us in gastonia, nc. bought 2 and lost. do me a favor if you live in the are and save me a couple for when i get paid again.

All of my extra 8 out of 10 codes have been given away. I'm sorry if you didn't happen to reach me in time to receive one, it pretty much ended up being a first come first serve basis. If the QuickDraw rattle shake promo allows for mailing in index cards I will definitely be giving extras away again!

Is there a limit to the number of Fright Riders they allow you to win? It sounded like there was a limit of 4, but was not terribly clear...?? I sent in for 5 codes and so far one was a winner and one a loser!!

4 per an address. So if you have more then 1 address i guess u could win more.

They had the bags at my TRU right next to all the swap force stuff. Code was on a sticker on the outside.

Does anyone happen to have an extra or more codes? I had 5 codes and none of them won. I am desperately searching for one of these!

Just a note in case anyone is worried, I saw one of them today and the bag specifically says it is only "exclusive" until 11/16/13, it has an asterisk with a disclaimer. I believe Quick Draw bags are the same (12/31/13 date). If I were to guess, these will show up in store at some point after that. So don't worry too much and don't go hog wild on the chips and buy more than you will eat.

Got my codes the other day. First five lost, but I finally just won with the sixth.

Do you really think Activision is going to release an old Giants era figure in stores after the exclusive time period is up? Quickdraw Rattle Shake might be another story, but Fright Rider is old news right now. I wonder if they just put that disclaimer in their contests just in case it is chosen to do something else with the figure at a later date? Flocked Stump Smash never got a re-release unless you count the white version. If in fact Activision does choose to do something with this Fright Rider variant at a later date what would it be?

I would guess ending the exclusivity allows them to do other giveaways, like how gamestop gave away sidekicks on several occasions after the initial frito lay promotion (which is the only way I got them, being a little late to the skylanders game)

4 per an address. So if you ahev more then 1 address i guess u could win more.

Thanks Slayer! As long as I get two I will be happy; one for me and one for my little bro!! So far, one code won and two lost!!! lol
