So, I woke up extra early just to get Freeze Blade..

They had to bring a crate full of them out. They didn't have a single Magna Charge there.

I also went a little early and was glad I did. No Nitro Magna Charge here either, which was fine, but they only had a few of the Freeze Blades. I am sure there will be at least another shipment or two but it definitely appears you will have to play the waiting game if you don't get him today.

Nitro Freeze Blade was not out on the shelf and had to ask someone to bring him out. She looked him up on her scanner and the store showed that it had 16 of them. She brought out 5 and I bought one. She brought out some other items for electronics, but Nitro Magna Charge was not in her cart.

They had at least two cases (24 total) of them at my fairly remote Target. They had to get them in the back, it's in the sale flyer, but they were just doing their morning stocking and I was there close to opening. No Nitro Magna Charges, but they hadn't finished stocking - however, probably didn't have him judging on others comments. It appears to have gone out of stock online, I guess people not wanting to go by the stores just jumped on that. I'm sure they will get more anyways, I believe it will be in next week's paper too.

Do you know the code for employees to look up the product? They had none out and the employee that helped me was clueless.

Here's the DCPI;

207-00-1160

Stuck working a 16hr shift so guess ill get mine tomorrow as target is closed when I'm off.

Thanks a million Matteo, that number helped him find a clue and freeze blade.

I expect these guys to be out in droves. There's still Nito Magna packs at some of my stores, so even though there may be a small first shipment, I expect to see more of them soon.

My local Target only got one box of 12 in. I got my required amount, but still, only one box? That's nuts.

Same here.... 1 case. Between Myself and 4 other sets of parents and kids almost wiped it out too.

The Target I went to had 24 on hand. The Target drone in electronics had to pull them from the back they actually had him out yesterday but, had to pull them. I was the only person there surprisingly.

I picked up a Nitro Freeze Blade at the Glendale Target in Indianapolis. There were 4 left. No sign of Nitro Magna Charge.

DCPI number saved me too. Employee was able to see that it was buried in the back. Thanks! :-) They had 2 boxes in Livermore

Picked up Nitro Freeze Blade at the Target in Neshaminy, PA. No Idea how many they had because they had them hiding behind the counter in electronics. Had to ask and he reached down and grabbed one for me. Didn't see any Nitro Magna Charges, but honestly wasn't looking for one since I had already purchased him months ago. Anybody know for sure who has Springtime Trigger Happy and Punk Shock? Still haven't seen those in my area...

Walmarts across the US are getting them in, like the other Wave 4 guys.


Great to see that the DCPI code helped!

Nitro freeze blade seems to be coming in only one box of 12 at a time for now and as far as the single pack of magna charge is. The target employee I talked to says he has his own dcpi too like NFB. His release must be later but nonetheless should be looked out for.

Still hoping that for here the STH and PS come out along wednesday when i get paid as it took a little bit to get the NFBs for now

The Target at Gateway, Brooklyn NY was the same as all the rest. No Nitro Freeze Blades on the shelf, had to get it from the back. Their computer showed 26 in stock before I bought mine. Also no Nitro Magna Charge in stock.

yep same here the guy had no idea,tried to tell me they were all the same and had him check in back,he was able to pull one for me.

I picked up Nitro Freeze Blade at Target in Wichita, KS...had to ask employee to get box from back since she said they already sold out of what she put out on shelves...interestingly enough, the first Target I went to couldn't even find the boxes they had because no location was on their hand scanner

There were about 15-20 sitting on a shelf in the electronics area @ 8am.. I picked up 2 and a night time employee pick up the remainder of them to purchase. He said he's going straight to the "evil bay" to sell them.. LOL ! As other customers started walking in and asking we were walking out..

Seems the quote of the day around here is "they're in the back". First one I went to the guy said they had about 20 of them in the back. Thanks to the code Matteomax posted, that was the only way i actually saw they had some in.

The first one I got was creased in the back...so I went to another one. Over there, they also had them in the back, but they brought out a bunch for me to look at/put on the shelves. (that store they only had 8 in)

I guess it helps to ask always lol.

Had to ask. They weren't on the shelves nor in the back, but in the little employee desk by the electronics and the employee didn't even notice them there.

Anyone finding them nitro magna singles?

I asked the second target I went to, and they couldn't find them in the system. I would say since no one has found them they probably aren't out yet. Maybe in a few weeks/months?

Well that's a classy move on the employee's part. I'd have gladly pointed out the employee walking away with 18 of them to the parents/players who came looking for it. People like this are the ones who deserve to get fired. Anyway, I had to ask at the Target I went to, and the guy had a box open in the electronics counter. He said he couldn't figure out where to put them since they have a different SKU number. I just got the two for myself and my brother in law. Looked to only be four in the one box he had sitting there. Sure hope they had others.

Ahhh, the evil is still alive in the Skylanders franchise. I was worried they had stopped.

One Target I went to had 39 in their system but the clerks AND manager said they weren't allowed to bring the box out of the back because their pegs were full and they couldn't stock them til the system allowed them to restock. It's against their policy blah blah blah. Meanest Target I've ever been to, even after I showed them the ad and website.

as of 2:45 EST they still had at least 10 Nitro Freeze Blades at the Princeton, NJ Target.

It'll stop when those idiots figure out a figure that's been available online for 4 days and every single Target in the country has at least 12, most getting 24 with more on the way isn't going to bring him much of anything once you factor out shipping and listing charges. Seriously, the only way people like that learn is if they get burned. Good luck to him trying, as an employee, to return 10 figures. If his employee purchase didn't pop up on the management radar, I can assure you a return like that from an employee will.

It sounds like many Target's in the country were exactly like the lame-o Target near me which never has the sale items out at store opening. I always have to ask and show the advert. It gets annoying. The guy came out with a handful (like 5 or 6) and gave me one and put the others in the pegs. Unknown how many they might have had in the back. :-\

Man, i wish i had that code this morning! The first 2 stores I tried had none. At the 2nd one I decided to ask a hipster teen stocking the toys. He didn't even bother to look, just said what's out is all they had. I then decided to ask an adult manager in electronics if they had them. He walked over to the Skylander aisle and told me he can't look up specific ones because they all have the same code. I replied that the store exclusives have their own code. He then walked over to the hipster teen and asked him they had any in stock, who told him no....

Ah the circle of life..

Anyway, i found at least 8 at the 3rd store i tried.

Oh and if anyone still needs the cores from the Dune Bug wave, try Best Buy. They had a freshly opened stand up display with the 2 new Swappers, plus Dune Bug, Regular Smolderdash, and s3 Whirlwind, Prism, and Cynder.

I have seen single Magna Charges on shelves - can't recall if it was Walmart or Target. I was looking for Easter packages so I glossed right over single MC's.

EDIT: It was regular MC. Just ignore this.

The ebay stupidity begins. I can only hope that people get wise and don't buy from these fools.

Were those single Nitro Magna Charges? That's what everyone is looking for.

We just picked up NFB from our suburban Target. They had 12 or so sitting on the electronics desk right where you walk up. My son grabbed one then we checked out the regular skylander area and no NFB or NMC or any other wave 4 was out. I've never seen NMC in a single pack, but they used to have several doubles and I didn't see those today.

Had to ask, and then the guy wanted me to come back later. Nope, I said. I know how that rolls. Got mine and put him on my alternate paths from regular Freeze Blade. What kills me is that when I roll in there at 8-9AM you see that folks have been stocking but apparently electronics gets ignored. It's not the first time this has happened.

Unless things have changed, it's been confirmed that TRU has a lock out date for 4/6, which is a Sunday, so it would make sense, and that's the date Best Buy had on their online pre-orders.

My Toys R Us has their boxes in stock and told me Tuesday would be release date, even coming from the manager

Having to ask has always been hit-or-miss for me. Usually, I have to convince whomever I'm talking to that the figure is available on the specific date. The person(s) will say they don't know and then the dance of convincing them commences. The TRU I frequent is notorious for this. I don't waste my time at Wal-Mart and this is the first time for Target. Fortunately, I was able to bring the figure up on the Target website and got the code from the listing. She retrieved several figures from the back and I bought one.

Just FYI since people have asked in this thread also, there apparently USED to be a lockout date for April 6th for the Easter figures. In fact, as of 2:30pm EST there was still a lockout. HOWEVER, I stopped by a TRU around 5pm EST and they had just put out the figures 5minutes prior saying that the lockout was apparently lifted and the registers no longer showed April 6. Soooo... I got all 3 of the Easter figures just before closing at the 3 for $20 sale price and all of the local TRU stores (about 6 in my area) had lifted the lockout. The TRU I bought from had 102 total Easter figures in stock, but said they were holding back half of them for April 6 anyways. Whatever that means.

Yes. This week TRU is doing any 3 skylanders priced $10.99 or less for $20. So basically you can get the third figure for -$2 since they're usually $11 and are now 3 for $20!

Edit: Or did you mean they're holding them back for a sale? I dunno, I just think the manager was scared he'd get another memo about locking them til April 6 since it was so sudden haha.

Thank you. You're right. I saw the red ones. Duh. I thought it was odd people asking for a figure that's been out for awhile. The Nitro version is listed on Target's site now, with release date of 3/23. That would make more sense.

Sorry about that. Will try to report better in future.

To be fair, the topic headline doesn't specifically say "Nitro Magna Charge", so easy mistake!

Picked up my Nitro Freeze Blade yesterday -- obviously said to not see any NMC's, but did notice there was one Drobot series 2 on the pegs -- triple-checked to make sure I wasn't looking at the more common Lightcore version and then bought him alongside my NFB.

G/F picked up Nitro Freeze Blade at Target here in Des Moines. They had 3 left and were sitting on the Electronics counter not in normal Skylanders area.

For the people that Pre-Ordered NFB on the Target website, have you gotten any confirmation that it's been shipped or anything yet? I'm not sure when to expect mine, and haven't heard anything from Target yet.
