Just got a hot toy alert fore preordering trap, also lightcore bumble blast will be out saturday and you can get a free lightcore hex with the any swap force light core.

Neat.
Leaving out Doom Stone though.

Boy, am I tuckered out from the Doom Stone event. At least we can finish off this game before Trap Team becomes the complete center of attention.

They must be sitting on these lc hexs.

Yup. Remember when folks were worried about being able to get her at all.

Kinda hoping Doom Stone is somehow there. They wouldn't say "Complete your Swap Force collection" with a whole main figure left over.

Eh, I'll ask them anyway.

Same, pooped out as well. We hit Nintendo World afterwards and I got a Hyrule Historia and a few things for the kids. Nice to be back at the in laws house. Good to hear about LC Bumbleblast, I'll be happy to finish off the Swap Force collection (minus the two variants, one of which appears to be out very soon) much earlier this year.

I don't think he will be there. This is referring to the ones that were lucky enough to live in NY to go to the TRU event to get the free Doom Stone.

Matteo, did you get your DS game?

It was fun hanging out w you. :-)

Must suck for the people that paid $80+ just to get LC BumbleBlast early.

Those that did it knew it would more then likely come out soon, its the price to get it early. Much like the ppl on ebay buying doomstone when he will prob be out by the 1st of june if not sooner. I also feel this wont be like ninjni either. Ninjni was hard to find as was thumpback and eyebrawl (both is a lesser effect) when they came out. Currently my toysrus has tons of trap shadow and a few freeze blades. I think doomstone will be the same way. I also partly believe that having scarlet ninjini come out at the same time as ninjini may have slowed production of the regular at the time too

There are mountains of them at my TRU. That seriously backfired on them.

Check your TRU stores! My store put them out two days early. They can be sold once they hit the shevles.

Trex,
I take it that there was no Doom Stone?

fingers crossed for a fluffy trig and a doomstone.

Id go check for it but i might as well wait till saturday and get a free lc hex to do something with i guess, since there is no sale going on atm. Thou at this point I already have 4 of these things. I guess I could put my army of lc hex vs. my army of shroomboom!

I just picked up a LC Bumble Blast at the Toys R Us on Washington St in Indianapolis. They had 15 to 20 left as of noon today.

No Doom Stone at my store. When we get them in, I'll let you all know. I'm guessing in a couple weeks or so.

If a store puts them out early and don't have any on release day don't worry you will get one for free or at least hold youonewhen they come back in. that is what my store did. The event guarantees they will be there Saturday. If they aren't the store will make it right.

Where's the TRU link for the free LC Hex when you buy a LC?

Stopped by a couple TRU's tonight to look for LCBB and the TRU drones were completely clueless about this HTA. sigh. I hope they get a clue by tomorrow.

I love how the headline of the HTA is "complete your Skylander collection"

You know, except for Doom Stone. Or Kickoff Countdown. Or Jade Fire Kraken...

Been hanging out at my local Toys R Us and they cannot find them anywhere. I am ready to call corporate now that they screwed this up and the Fluffy Springtime Trigger Happy at the same store.

I got mine, but they had to bring out a box from the back. Got a Lightcore Hex with it.

TRU Beavercreek, OH had 30 LCBB and three people were waiting at 9:00am. How did you all do? Got my free Hex and used Mcdonalds coupons. Good day so far and got 2 swappers for 10.00 each with the coupons Hoot Loop and Trap Shadow.

Absolutely no one was waiting at my local ToysRUs.

Got mine this morning, but people have already gone through the box. There were only 5 or so remaining when I got there. No one was there to buy them. Got my free Hex figure. Cause everyone needs an extra Hex.

Since Fluffy STTH wasn't any kind of official promo, how, exactly, did they "screw" it up?

Some guy came in and told them the box that said wait till event was just a box of already released figures. Got a manager and even though they had shelves filled with the regular Springtime Trigger Happy, they let him look through the box and take out the Fluffy Springtime Trigger Happy and buy it during the week. When I showed up for the "event" they obviously didn't have the box anymore. That's how they screwed up. Once again, the problem is corporate not communicating to their stores.

Where was this "event" you speak of advertised?

He's talking about how the boxes had a "do not put out till april 18th " on the side

That's not an advertised thing though. If the store sold the stuff inside early, that's an internal issue for the store (which, apparently, they had no issues with, since they could have blocked Fuzzy STTH's barcode from early sale if they cared) - but isn't something you can complain about, when nothing was advertised and nothing was promised.

Not having Bumble Blast today? Sure. They advertised that you could go in today and get it. But Fluffy was *never* advertised. Period.

Grabbed the last one off the shelf at the Lawrenceville, NJ TRU...they may have more boxes though as they didn't seem to have a ton of other light core figures filling the shelves.

Arrowhead TRU in AZ had nothing out. TRU drones seem puzzled by Sat figure release. Found box in back with LC fig mix with ~4 LCBB in it. Got one and a Hex. Good luck to everyone.

Just got mine an hour ago. One of only 2 left hanging on pegs.

Tru in chino hills ca has them

Grabbed the only one on the pegs shortly after opening. Not sure if they had not got them all out or not. Paint looked good so I grabbed it and ran.

they had a ton when i went just a lil bit ago <.<

Arrowhead TRU is usually clueless about hot toy alerts, unless it's the launch, and the wave that hits the week after.

But doesn't the fuzz TH have the same barcode? It's not a separate code. Just like a chase variant.

I could've sworn that it had a different code.

Picked up my LC Bumble Blast with free Hex. The Manager did not know about the Free Hex promo. While I was shopping, he went in the back to do research. When he reappeared he told me that he just got the email and was posting the 2 for $22 Swappers on the pegs. Knowing that my store was one of the first fuzzy TH on EBay we were talking and he did not realize it came in with the Easter shipment. I was like 2 days too late for the one that showed up at my store.

Nope - different barcode.
