I also got Doom Stone at my local TRU early today. There are only 5 Doom Stone per box, and they only got 4 boxes in. The other local TRU near me said their schedule showed the shipment would arrive on Tuesday, so they should be in by opening. Virginia.

Did you see the box yourself? prim, on CAG, said there were 6 per box (if a difference of 1 really matters). Knowing TRU, they should have plenty of them. They've never been too short on new Skylanders when it has come to Swap Force. It's just a matter of the employees putting them out.

There were a dozen or so in my tru, they were hidden from the main racks though, all were tucked away in one of those smaller stands they keep around the big ones.
Has anyone found any if the variant ones yet?

Got mine at Colorado Springs TRU. They had plenty.

Found him at the TRU in Milford, CT around noon, they had plenty. Picked him up with LC Bumbleblast. Paid too much of course, but will bring them back next week if there's a sale.

I went to Walmart in Derby,CT today for something completely unrelated and was surprised to see they had about a half dozen Doom Stones out too. Would've got him there if i knew and saved some money, time, and gas!

Found him at my TRU. They only had 4 and they were behind the counter. I got one!

Got mine at TRU in Fayetteville, GA. A worker went to the back and brought him out. So, I'm not sure how many they had.

Got mine from Walmart so saved on the TRU upcharge!

The box assortment contains one Night Shift and one Fire Kraken if you still need them.

Well I'm beyond pissed off. My stupid crap box 360 scratched my swap Force game to death and now I can't play it. THis is so typical, the one day I really want to play it, the day I finally complete my swap force collection, it does this, AGAIN. Looks like this x box is getting hammered to death tonight, also looks like I'm getting Trap Team for the wii u. It was working fine on Saturday, friggin ridiculous.

Just called my local TRU, and they claimed to still have a decent sized stock of DoomStone. Got them to set one aside for me just in case. Dont want to worry about the after work/after school rush. Heading up that way within a hour to pick it up.

If you installed the game into your 360, you wouldnt have to worry about the scratches. Just having the disk in (if the game is installed) is enough for it to read what you are playing.

How does one do that?

Handful of DoomStones left at TRU in Columbia, MD for any Maryland based Portalmasters.

Chicago - called my local TRU, they are saying he won't be out till sunday. Is that weird or what.

I smell a hustle

My TRU had 30+ Doom's (Florida)

Anyone finding the Doom variant?

I think ToysRUs got a different assortment than Walmart did. I bet the Walmart boxes contained Trap Shadow and Stink Bomb. This one had Doom Stone, Stink Bomb, Night Shift, Rubble Rouser, and Fire Kraken.

Out of town for work again... got mine at a Walmart in Southern Indiana. Had several.

Another option is you could rebuy just the game. The game itself isnt very expensive maybe like $10-15 <.<

Anyways i just picked up my Doom Stone now i just gotta pick up the few randoms i missed since release and i'm set lol
Yay my info was helpful for once!

I stated back in Post #47 what Walmart had, same as TRU.
No Trap Shadow.

Then I guess that Trap Shadow is gonna be the rarest?

Any news about him in Maryland?

I posted earlier that the TRU in Columbia had him. I didnt bother to check with any other TRUs or stores since I managed to find him without much effort. They had a handful on the shelves (Back electronics section, nothing on the main entrance wall) and a few hidden under the counter in the electronics section when I went.

Picked up one of the ten available at our Walmart today. My son was so happy to finally finish off his swapper collection.

I still can try my luck at replacing it at my tru, I've done it before, and I am a regular customer and a rewards member, if they don't replace it they can consider my business gone. And let's be honest nobody is buying the stacks of starter packs at my tru, so what's the harm?
Worst case scenario is acti support tries to get money from me to fix it and I buy a new copy off eBay, please don't let it come to that!
This would happen to me when I get my last swap force skylander, I was looking forward to starting nightmare mode, since I have rules, only use blue base skylanders in N mode.

where you at? Im in south chicago, I went out to merriville IN to get my doomstone.

Found him at both TRU & Walmart. Saved $2 by getting the Walmart one. Forgot how much TRU charges for these. Been a while since I got one at full price.

got mine at tru in towson,md i was the first one in when they opened had plenty there then went to tru in middle river and they didn't put em out yet but they had their shipment of them when i asked. the guy opened all the boxes for me looking for the variant but they didn't have any... also checked all the walmarts around me none of them even had doom stone and no game stops either.

Columbia, that's somewhat far (something like 30 mins if I had a car/was of legal age to drive-almost there) But I suppose I could check any other closer ones first...I live way down in Silver Spring so TRU is rather rare.

I keep forgetting the TRU on Georgia Ave down there closed. If you have trouble tracking him down let me know. I can pick an extra up, try work out a drop off like mid-way.

Found DoomStone today in a Walmart in Arizona.

TRU in Frisco TX has a bunch of Trap Shadow. Picked up my Doom Stone yesterday and they had moved their collection to the front of the store. Supposedly getting Kickoff Countdown on Sunday.

Stopped by a TRU that I rarely go to since it's out of my way when driving home from work, but they have never let me down on having the latest figure when it's a weekday release. Lots of Doomy's on the pegs. Tried to get TRU drone to sell me Kickoff Countdown, but she said it was register locked for Sunday. Oh well, can't blame me for trying. ;-)

-VM

BTW - she said that they had at least 2 boxes of Kickoff in the back so ~24 figures or more for Sunday.

There we go, full confirmation on Kickoff. Thanks for posting!

I'm surprised that people aren't finding the variant. Several have shown up on eBay already, and one of them found two at the same store.

Got my Doom Stone yesterday. There were about 10 left on pegs around 5:30.

Just grabbed Doom Stone at TRU (they still had 6 left, including one with entirely white eyes), and my final figure, Scratch, at Target. Swap Force collection ... complete ... BOOM!

Was able to get DS at TRU in Toledo, OH yesterday. They actually only had one of him left on the racks.

I'm not getting the variants any longer. I'm trying to convince my son to sell our SSA and SG variants (including the legendaries), but he still likes them at this point.

Question: I was looking closely at my Doom Stone figure, and on the back side of his weapon (near the top end) there is a chunk missing out of it. At first I thought it got chipped, but now it almost looks intentional. Can anyone else confirm this on their Doom Stone?

If I didn't know better, the missing chunk appears to be the shape of a clenched fist with the middle finger sticking up. That's what I see, anyway. I'll take pics if no one else has this missing chunk.

I just found Doom Stone at the Toys R Us at Metro Mall in Queens NY. There was only one left after I bought mine and the sales associate said there were no more in the back. They also had a couple of the Metallic Green Gill Grunts on the shelf if anyone is interested. I picked up one of those also.

That's funny his weapon is a column like from an old building from way back when and yes it kinda does look like a flip off if you think about it. I am sure it's not mint to be a flip off it's just a broken old column. Or it's Fire Krackens foot print when he kicked the column down for Doom Stone to have a weapon to fight with... LoL

My TRU had about 20 of those metallic GG figs. I left them there to rot.

The more I look at it, the more I think it is the middle finger, and that it was intentional. What it is intended to mean is another question entirely.

I saw those gill grunts over at my TRU too for the past month and i live in FL.

I didnt even notice until you pointed it out lol but yeah mine has it too

Still no sign of Doom in my MN Walmarts.

I found a variant at Walmart today.

It was at the Lewis Center Walmart just north of Columbus, Ohio.

Nice find!
