I just got the game on Thanksgiving thanks to deals everywhere but there was one character that I was surprised to not see at all. I went to Wal-Mart and even Toys R Us and didn't see a single one. I found Wave 2 except one person got the last Lob Star. I knew the Kaos Trap would be rare but how can I not find Wallop? I know he shipped one per box but they stock a lot of boxes at Toys R Us. Did they not restock their shelves for the Black Friday deals?

Is anyone still seeing Wallop on the store shelves in their area?

I got Wallop a few weeks back during Target's buy 2 get one free sale. In general, most stores are wiped of all but except maybe one or two Trapmasters, but that is expected following Thanksgiving weekend. It's not just Wallop...I haven't seen Lob Star in a few weeks. Unless somebody really has dropped the ball on distribution/shipping, you can expect a steady supply of restock and very soon as this next month is their biggest for sales.

I bought one for my kids the Wednesday before Thanksgiving (because I was told he is hard to find) at TRU and then Thanksgiving night I found two more at Target, so I grabbed one for a friend. If it's something I'm not looking for "desperately" or for someone else, I can usually find it without hassle. If it's for me, no chance.
Had the same issue with the Kaos trap. Picked up two at the same time for my friend at Target a month ago (or so) and now that we got the game for my kids for Christmas, nowhere to be seen. Oh well...I haven't even finished Swap Force yet, so maybe by the time I get to the end of Trap Team (sometime around the release of Skylanders 5) I'll be able to find one.

At the TRU I work at, Wallop and Krypt King are the only trap masters that are gone, and Wallop is the only one (other than Kaos trap) that people have been specifically asking for.

^ wallop seems to be everywhere around here.. But he does sell steadily as he is one of our favs in many ways

My son received Wallop for his birthday in October, after that I haven't see wallop anywhere but he was available on Black Friday.

My places that I go to, the hardest ones to find are Wallop, followed by Wild Fire, then Lob Star is in the middle. I find a few Gear Shifts, but TRU's out.
Jawbreaker (both versions), Bushwhack and Head Rush...tons of them.

Wallop was sold one in the box of twelve, which accounts for his lack of whereabouts. Weird since he was in the promos. Make demand for him, and then don't fulfill.

I haven't seen Wallop anywhere either. He seems to be one of the most popular

You could really consider Wallop 'rare' at the moment, thats why I made damn sure I got one on launch day. I just checked the Ebays and for a "buy it now" option, you can't get him for less than $30 (shipping included). Thats Ghost Roaster rare, price wise.

They have to restock him in the next month though...they're not going to leave the shelves bare during the Christmas season...all the stores are ravaged in my area after the insane Thanksgiving rush and sales. Still probably one per box though. I wouldn't call Wallop popular or rare, but just scarce because of the one per box distribution. Waves 1 and 2 are the ones they have to restock with, so it's not like they can just forget about Wallop and throw other figures on the shelf and pegs.

He was a pleasant surprise for me and my wife. When they unveiled him, we wrote him off and said we wouldn't buy him. We ended up getting him thanks to TRU's BOGO 40% a while back and I'm glad we did. His combination of heavy melee and distance attacks make him unique for a character with massive mallets.

I was waiting for the Black Friday deals to buy any new Skylanders, but couldn't hardly find them anywhere (at least at Walmart and Target, who had the best deals). I did find plenty of Nitro Krypt Kings and a couple of other Trap Masters at one Target. I didn't remember seeing Wallop, but I went back, yesterday, and he was there. It didn't look like they had any more in (just a bunch of NKKs), so maybe I just overlooked him.

Damn just checked ebay! Might be time to grab a few wallops to flip.. He is the first TM worth reselling at this point

Double the money. Maybe I should have picked up that Wallop when I saw him, especially if he was there on Black Friday when I was there. Though, now that I think about it, where I found Wallop, I couldn't find any Trap Masters when I was there for Black Friday sales. I had picked up the Nitro Krypt King and Gusto at another Target. I am sure they had them, though, because the store was showing NKK in stock online, even though I couldn't find them anywhere. They just didn't put them out, unless they had them hidden somewhere else in the store.

I've got an extra wallop. I'm holding onto it to trade for a kaos trap. I hope my Tru has kaos traps this weekend so I don't have to get rid of my extra wallop but if someone asked me to trade for a kaos trap I would let it go. I wish ebay had a trade section where people could go because I never use Crais list. So it looks like I'll be holding onto this wallop until I find a kaos trap

You're in luck. Kaos Traps are being restocked today/tomorrow.

Keep in mind that Wallop will be in 2x per wave 3 box coming out shortly, so fear not.

I was at Walmart, yesterday, and they had several Wallops. Looked like they got a new shipment after selling out for Black Friday (or they just had them in the back instead of letting me have it at a decent price ).

Just finally found us a wallop to add to our doubles whatever collection

Got him at GameStop today, only one they had in stock

Wallop seems to be available at BestBuy.com right now. Good luck

It is available only for store pickup which means you will have to be really lucky.

i got the last one at my gamestop

Yea you can search on gamestop and see if they have any near you. That was how I got mine today.

Finally got myself a Wallop from Wal-Mart today. He is sooo good! Got the last one!

Congratz...he's cool...i like him.

Tons and tons of Wallop at my local TRU along with wave 3 Trapmasters. No longer rare

^
Same. I even came across one with it's arm missing and wobbling around in the package. Now for that pesky Kaos trap.

Yup, even though I have Wallop I'm happy he is now back on the shelves. He's the best Trap Master and people deserve a shot to pick him up. Anyone who freaked out and overpaid for one online is going to look dumb just like the people paying crazy prices for a Kaos Trap.
