Finally!! A firm date for EE Whirlwind!!

Nothing too noteworthy. Why can't GameStop just have a weeklong sale like other normal retailers? They do these one day events where the sales/offers are peanuts compared to real sales you see elsewhere. I guess they have to make the release of every overpriced Eon's Elite character an event or a big deal in order to drag customers in. The comics seem like the only reasonably priced thing they'll be selling that day.

^ Very true! If GS didn't have the EE series, or free skylanders, I wouldn't go at all!

If you don't have all the traps, you can get one for .99c when you pick up WFLobstar

so the release date for Winterferst Lob Star is Dec. 6th @Gamestop and not Dec. 7th???

I don't think so. The actual deal is buy a Trap Master get a Trap for $0.99. Winterfest Lob-Star is pictured, but the deal is valid from 12/3 - 12/9

^it says one day event with WFLS as being 12/6... Btw, I really hate all this fine print BS associated with skylander hunting.. Infinity and amiibo dates have been more defined it seems, and as much as I love to hunt, being from texas and all (lol), I love to know what's what, and when

UPDATE: just got back from GS picking up EE Triggs, and had an interesting conversation with manager, thought I share. I asked him to look up street dates for EE WW and WFLS.. EE WW is on the 6th as we all know by now, and WFLS is NOT street dated and shows available for sale with 0 inventory.. He said he has a few en route to store for a Monday delivery.. This makes since as WFLS has been purchased at Walmart with no issues by fellow users.. Most of you may not care, but for the few that do, I hope this helps!

I find it funny that the manager at your GameStop had no idea. According to this article, if you are a Skylanders Club Member you should be able to pick it up today.

I'm planning on being at my GS when they open today to pickup my EE TH, pre-order EE WW and get WFLS.

^ very interesting! And honestly, I don't think they care enough about skylanders to look in to it that deep.. I know it's supposed to be their job and all, but I'm like only 1 of 3 customers that go there for skylanders.. I always have to dig for info and sneak peeks on CPU to find things out. It's cool, found my WFLS yesterday at best buy. However, I still go there because everytime the have something extra (like memory cards, etc) they give them to me for trade credit to help with my collection Thanks for posting this, I'm going to bust some balls now, ha!

Does anybody know if they're also getting shipments of wave 2 traps that day? I heard you can get a trap for a buck if you buy WFLS on that day, so it would see appropriate for Activision to ship out some traps too.

I'm just interested in Wave 3

^ very ^

I might go and check it, just in case some stores might get wave 3 early
(...hint, hint, Walmart)

I'll go for EE Whirlwind, but that's it.

Whats in wave 3? Any kaos in it?

was pretty much a bust from what i've seen. limited selection of trap masters. couldn't get a trap for 99 cents with getting the elite whirlwind. the fact winterfest lob-star was also pushed back to next thursday through them was also pretty bad as it is out of the way of the sale for the traps.

found out in most cases that you could try to get another trap master and wait to exchange for the holiday lob-star but they'll force you to give up the trap due to the price difference with the sale not in the system at the time. not sure it was a good event at all this time.

The fact that you were the first post about this in several days on a Skylanders fan forum just shows how much of a bust these GameStop Skylanders events are...thanks for confirming our suspicions of this non-sale and poorly run event.

i'm thankful that i was able to get some winterfests from amazon when they restocked as gamestop really dropped the ball. the first one was supposed to have punch pop fizz but finally got him in with the elite whirlwinds and i was barely able to get the one i was owed from the last event. if they had the winterfests i would've bought 1 so i could get a trap for 99 and needing the extra winterfest, but tbh they really aren't doing a good job except for the elites but i'm at the point i won't need to shop at gamestop for sometime if i bother to get the collector's of elder scrolls online for the ps4. there's nothing else i need from them.

^ yeah, exact same here!

Got EE Whirlwind from one of my Gamestops.

Apparently there was an email from GameStop muckity-mucks yesterday saying the WFLS was delayed due to inclement weather and would be fulfilled on 12/11.

That was my experience as well. I still picked up my Eon's Elite Whirlwind, but I was a little disappointed to not pick up the holiday figure.

TRU should have it, with plenty to spare.
