Hey Everyone,

Just a Quick Heads up to all the people that love collecting. About an hour ago I was looking on gamestop.com and noticed that they had Doom Stone Gold in stock online only and a free random sidekick with purchase. DOOM STONE GOLD 15.99 -------- follow the link-----------

Good Luck Everyone I got one and they are still in stock

Hm. Interesting.

Thanks for the tip, haiden0919. I put in my order and hope it pans out.

Going to this link http://www.gamestop.com/wii/ga...-bundle/115379, The description says, "The Skylanders Swap Force Collector's Bundle contains Skylanders SWAP Force GameStop Exclusive Dark Edition Starter Pack, Skylanders SWAP Force Gold Doom Stone Individual Character Pack, and Skylanders SWAP Force Silver Stink Bomb Individual Character Pack". This and not being able to do a pick up instore has lead me to believe this is the Gold doom stone. This is how I got my glitter Sprocket, Gamestop posted it for retail I made an order and they sent me the figure so hopefully this pans out the same way. Dahvoo, I hope you get a gold!

Thanks guys, I got my order in just wish it was trap shadow instead. I think he looks cooler with the silver bottom. But this is still real cool.

Great heads up! Now kid gets to open one! Couldn't have been better timing too.....his birthday is coming up! Thanks alot , you've seriously put a smile on a 10 yr olds face! +100 rep!!

Thanks for the heads up!
Not a huuge deal to me, but do they ship singles in a box or crushable envelope? :u

I don't like when hard-to-find figures suddenly become available easily. I did not spend a lot of money on him, I got him for retail price, but still.

Technically, they should all be retail price to begin with.

Already have a one, but why not try anyway. If it is Gold/Bronze I might give it to my sister.

I ordered. Does anyone know if we're able to return it for a full refund including shipping if it's the wrong figure?

Thanks for sharing that. Just ordered one right now.
How long do you think before they run out?

Ordered one, thanks!

You can return it but I'm fairly certain you forfeit the shipping cost.

It would appear they just ran out. And I was about to get one too

This makes me wonder if Gamestop has an unspoken policy of opening up cases in the DC and removing any variants prior to shipping to retail stores. Then further on down the line incorporating said variant(s) into merchandise that is not moving at a "deal".

Yup thats what they do....a Variant of any kind will never make it to any store.

I'm glad they sold out, honestly.
It adds more value to it.

Until it comes time to sell.
I'm actually planning on putting the words Gas Money over the wall of variants I have.

So you just buy these things with the sole purpose of turning them around for a profit?

No! Of course not! I love to collect them, and put them on my wall. I meant when I need money, and I'm not into Skylanders.
I don't want to try to make money by scalping, because it's just not fair.

It's also cool to own a rare figure and there is a feeling of pride, but that go away when it becomes a commun figure.

I know that feeling all too much.

You feel "pride" because you clicked some buttons and gave someone money in exchange for something?

Wow.

lol I got it from a friend who found it in store...... fail reply.

Someone finally said it.

So... you feel pride because someone found something on a store shelf and gave it to you?

That's much better.

You are so cool.

No I'm proud of owning something that is uncommun. Try harder or just leave.

You know, if you own something uncommon because you did something special to earn it (say, an award or a bonus), that's something neat to be proud of.

If you own something uncommon because you or a friend lucked into finding it for sale... I'm just not convinced that "proud" is the correct word to use there.

If you feel like "subtly" pointing out minor orthographical mistakes is worth it, it means you are desperate to find a way to show you are "superior". I have won and won't be coming back, bye

What makes one have pride is up to one's option. Something that makes you have pride might not be the same for someone else. When i found a fuzzy trigger happy i was excited and happy that i found one. I guess im sort of proud in the fact i got the only one my toysrus had.


The above are just my thoughts etc not taking any sides.

It's basically got me to stop buying these things because "you never know" what they're going to do.

Funny, I was up to 2am this morning and never saw this post. Oh well.

I know this comes as a shocker for me, but kudos to Gamestop for selling these at retail; this is unlike past "collector editions" they've sold.

I was being subtle because you made the mistake *twice* - and it really didn't help you much to continue doing it. I was hoping I could subtly correct you so that you wouldn't continue to do it.

They are talking about the non-in game variants. Those are the ones that Gamestop pulls from each case before sending to the stores.

Awesome, my package shipped today by UPS Ground. I paid for standard shipping. Expected delivery is this Friday.

Same here....completely forgot about the free sidekick throw in.......now just gotta devise a plan to hide mail / package from the kid.....

Exact same deal here. Bottom of the box came unglued and a free Mini Jini. I'm not complaining though.

So was it actually the gold one, or just a regular one?
Dang I should get some money on cards and stuff for when this happens. Something always pops up and then I have no money on any cards for it lol

Yup Gold/Bronze

Mine arrived today. Packaging was separating quite a bit but indeed a gold bronze doom stone with a free mini ninjini

I'm not into these chase variants but I did jump and order one for a friend of mine who recently got into the game. I know he'll want to keep it in the package so my question is does anyone here know of a good way to fix/re-seal these boxes since they all seem to be coming apart in the mail?

I got mine and Mini Jini. Seems like everyone's getting her as the freebee.
The packaging is separated in some places and could definitely "crack" off if one wanted to do that, but it's fine for now.

Same deal pretty much, bottom left unglued, but I could fix that.
Instead of I got . Yay.

I got a Whisper Elf and a Thumpling (I had ordered a core figure to get over the $25 free shipping threshold and get a 2nd sidekick). I had needed a Gill Runt & Trigger Snappy, but I suppose they'll be covered during the Trap Team release with the new color base.

So i got my 2 today. One was completely off the package, the other is barely still on. I did get two ninijnis, was hopping for 2 diff ones as my brother can use these minis. Oh well he's 1/4. Not that it matters much as it seems the new ones are mixed with the old giants/ssa ones
