Yes, but Canada is at least considered "North America" so I don't know why they don't do the contest for all of it

So now hardcore collectors have to get 3 more Fire Bone Hot Dogs to complete their collection.

Skylanders® Fire Bone Hot Dog "Treasure Hunt" character with either a green, red, or purple-flamed bone. Each Skylanders® Fire Bone Hot Dog character will be holding a bone replica in its mouth. The color of the bone flame is at Sponsor's sole discretion; winner does not receive choice of color.

I wonder if 0ne of the three colors will be in limited quantities making it the most valuable one.

*Facepalm* How many times do I have to say it? It seems like every single contest someone says this same thing, no matter how many times it's answered . . . These contests are in America only because the rest of the world has a whole bunch of different laws regarding how they are run, or even if they are allowed. No, they couldn't "do it if they really wanted to," no it's not somehow "teh mozt unfair thing EVAH!!," and no it does not mean they somehow think people in the rest of the world don't matter. Neither Frito-Lay nor Activision have the power to override the sovereign laws of another nation, so if you really want contests like this in your country, get your laws changed.

This has to be the strangest contest prize yet.

Just a different colored bone? And the Special tag? That seems pretty.. eh.. bland.

I guess they ran out of ideas after Flocked Springtime Trigger Happy.

I'm pretty sure this is just one of those variants that doesn't matter in-game. I don't see why non-american citizens are whining. Nobody is forcing you to buy this figure, no you don't have to buy it, but you "want" to buy it. Now comes the part of "activision haets teh rest uv deh world!1!!1!1!". Frito Lay is a US company, of course they're only going to let US citizens participate.

I feel like you like to argue with me. smilie I don't "have" to buy them as in I can't live without them, I mean if I want to get them I will have no other alternative but to pay scalper prices on Ebay. It sucks not having a shot to win these because of where I live and I know the reasons behind these contests being US only but it doesn't make it any less disappointing.

So far, the only "whiny" posts I've noticed was from America, just not the -United States- of America. And it's understandable to be bothered by something saying "America", when it's limited to the US, which is roughly half the size of North America alone, and about one third/quarter of the combined landmasses of North and South America.

Thank Heavens for that! I too never bought a smartphone and I certainly don't plan on it now. Glad they kept people like us in mind. Maybe Frito Lay isn't a total bust after all... maybe.

Now I just have to hope the bags actually show up in the stores, unlike the crap they did with Fright Rider.

Is the call in thing an automated thing or do I have to talk to someone? How was it for flocked?

Overall, I think they decided "hey ppl like hot dog lets just change the colors near his bone", BRilliant!

Red is normal? or do they mean a redder red instead of the orangish red it is now?


Green and Blue make no sense.....neither are even close to fire (molten colored like molten hotdog would been better)


Onwards to gain an army of hotdogs!!!

Yes, Dang you Frito Lay! You are so unreasonable when it comes to giving out free stuff. Why can't you do it more on my terms (which means a guarantee win for me, of course)? Why should I have to put forth any kind of effort in order to get free stuff from you? You should just already know I want free Skylanders and deliver them to my door. Hell, I shouldn't even have to put on pants to get the door. Just bring the free figure in and put it on my portal for me. Don't mind my lack of pants.

Actually... green and blue are real fire colors. To be exact, some of the hottest fires produce blue flames (which you can sometimes see on stove tops or even lighters) so i hope this 'purple' is a blueish purple, green flames come from burning copper sulfate.
The colors aren't just random, they are actually really cool!

Aka I really need to collect them all *c*

Dude chill... It's not really free because you have to buy chips...

Seriously though I do think that they should do winnable contests but they should be free to enter. Also they should put the Hot Dogs in stores Post Contest.

And before someone says "but you don't have to buy all those Hot Dogs, so they aren't shoving him down your throat, get some self-control"! Yeah, I don't need to buy him. Doesn't mean if he does become another Eruptor, that I won't get sick of seeing him in ads and promos and having more reposes of him on the game poster, when every other Fire character aside from Eruptor would deserve them more.

Assuming they're equally produced, that's slightly less than 2,000 of each color.

Just to set the story straight, I did not post the back of the bag. I do not want to get in trouble with Frito Lay or Activision.
That was posted by "myskylanders" who said he got it from here:

However, I did post the other pics (Front of the bag and pics from the App).

I dont think you'll get in trouble either way, I mean that was the distributors fault for putting them out. Although, they *should* be out in stores since the promotion starts in just a few weeks.

As you see in the previous post, they added other characters to take pictures with.

How in the hell could you get in "trouble" with Frito Lay or Activision??? You bought a product on the shelves, you paid for it at the counter....as far as i'm concerned as long as you arent mass producing similar "knock-off" bags and selling them at retail you can do with them as you well please. BTW good luck on duplicating the exact flavor of some of those tasty chips smilie
They have lockout dates on food products ??? ROFL.....way too comedic.
