Showing a release for Enigma on Fri 5-1,
and then some on Sun 5-10

Was that the only new figure showing a release date?

Yes it was the only one.

Also it's not street dated, just a hold till that date.
So if you find them in the store before then they will ring through the register.

Glad to see that he's finally being released, but it seriously annoys me that it's on a Friday. Why not release it on a Saturday when a parent can take his child to the store in the morning and guarantee one, rather than release it on a day where mostly adults and resellers can attend?


Also, any in hand pictures, Chaotic?

Unfortunately no, but they are in route to the stores.
So they should be receiving them the next couple of days.

When I saw the topic title:



My favorite Skylander of Trap Team, at long last! Thanks for the info!

You can order from GameStop.com if you fear the adults/resellers. There's a thread in the Trap Team forum. It's been up for several hours online, so only the dumbest of resellers would buy up stock at TRU on Friday...it's not exclusively first at TRU like other recent Skylanders releases.

Nope. Resellers will get all of them. Just like all the Ninjinis went to resellers too.

:D

It might be back-ordered though. If it arrives for some people within the timeframe stated, I'll go ahead and order.

If this holds true, it will be beyond awesome. My son's b-day was Sunday, we got him a bnuch of those MArvel MAsh-Ups from 5 Below. But I could really hit it out the park at his bday party if I do the Steve Jobs "One more thing!" and pull out an Enigma...

Resellers have moved on to Amiibos. Apparently yesterday was chaos at TRU due to them opening pre-orders for some new ones.

It appears somebody already has him in hand from Toys R Us.

Just ordered Enigma I'm done wasting gas driving to the store every week for these... I am excited to play as him though!

I was hoping it might come in time for my son's birthday on the 9th. I was thinking it wouldn't, but I do remember getting Ninjini for my son's birthday a couple of years ago. But I remember her being out for a bit before I got lucky to find her at Sams Club. It would be awesome if Sams Club got Enigma in before then, as they're Trap Masters are only $10, but when I checked, last week, they had just wave 3 Trap Masters (which was good, too, since that wave seemed to have been scarce, for now). I might have to keep checking back in. I don't really want to get it a TRU because of their prices.

Ninjini was released in late February the year she came out - we had all the new ones early that year, although we did have to wait until late May for S2 Drobot and Swap Force release for LC Hex.

And now they can't give Hex away...

They tried to too...

Any word on the cores

I just went to my local Toys R Us. They have not received their shipment of Enigma yet. Additionally, one of the employees checked his release schedule and he said that Enigma is to be released on May 10, not May 1. Maybe only some stores were getting them in on May 1.

Stores will be putting out limited stock on May 1st and more will be in on the 10th, by the looks of what Chaotic Lunacy said.

Check your Gamestops. Just got mine from there.

He's slowly making his way across the US, it seems. Nothing in NJ or NY at all.

The thread in the Trap Team forum that mastermc54 mentioned has a picture of one on hand of Enigma. Checking out two TRU today, in case. Otherwise, check tomorrow and Friday.
Went to the Fullerton TRU, which they had them but couldn't sell them until Friday. However, they told me they would definitely be released on 5/10, but I could come in to see if they're out on Friday.
Hold dates suck.

Some are available at my Gamestop in San Antonio TX. Just reserved him for pickup, I can't believe I finally have my favorite skylander ready to buy!

Just ordered one off gamestop.com, both dates that are listed are almost impossible for me to get off work, so this is a better option for me

Earlier than I expected.
I thought it would be about mid to late May.

Confirmation fro. Gamestop via email today, enigma is on the way!!!!!!

Yea I did the order from GameStop.com as well and it should be here by the end of the day tomorrow. Better then wasting gas and time going to stores hopeing to get it at the store. Now all I need the 3 scream traps and the 2 cores and last vairiant then I am done with skylanders.

Called Toys R Us, they confirmed that they had it in stock but were unable to sell til 5/1

So when is Enigma coming out? Today or on the tenth?

Today at TRU. Gamestop has had them online for a few days and they are starting to show up in stores. Should not be hard to find, my TRU got four boxes and every box has 12 Enigmas (and nothing else).

I don't think every Toys R Us will have them today. I contacted my local store and they had not heard or seen anything about it. I'll probably get one at a Gamestop today as they said they'd have them in today.

That's the standard answer that usually means "I don't want to go look for them". Of course it is possible they didn't get them, but they were sent UPS which is pretty reliable on delivery. If it is an outlet store, maybe they didn't get them - but if it is a major store they either have them and put them out and sold out early (doubtful, they come in case of just them - most stores probably got 40+), the employee doesn't want to look for them or UPS was delayed.

Not every TRU has employees that give a crap, I am fortunate to live near one that has some very helpful employees that will look for things no questions asked, and I thank them often for it. Sounds like Gamestop wants your business more in your area, and unless you needs something else (TRU has a B1G1 40% off deal this week) you should probably oblige them.

would be nice if we got some light or dark traps also.

Walked in to my TRU at opening and got him fresh out of the box!

Just picked up an Enigma myself. Horrible selection at this TRU though, but got Fist Bump with it for 40% off...never got him before.

1 tru had 2 cases so 24
1 tru had none although they new about it and said maybe it will come on fedex truck today

Picked mine up at Gamestop

The TRU in Horsham, PA was just putting them out around noon. Right before this I asked if they came in and was told no.

Then the call called out to me as I was leaving to apologize and hand me one.

Looks like they had two cases.

GameStop in Reading PA had enigma, bat spin, high five, and rocky roll out on shelves when me and my 6 year old son walked in today. He was extremely excited!!

The clerk said they had just arrived today.

Has anyone found Enigma at a Best Buy? I wouldn't think so, but you never know and I didnt feel it was worth it to start a new thread. I would guess he would start showing up around Mid May. Any word?

Found at Toys R Us 30 min after it opened so glad these are not as hard to get as amiibo and are just as cool

Anyone see him in any none tru/gamestop?

I saw him at Gamestop, but decided to pay the extra $1 at Toys R Us so I could use some rewards dollars and a $3 coupon. Plus I decided to just throw in another Skylander I needed for 40% off. They had several of them. I had ran into someone, recently, who was looking for him and gave me his business card (mostly because I had asked him about a job ). I wrote him to tell him about it and went back later in the evening and they still had several left.

TRU (and I believe Gamestop) get direct shipments through UPS/FedEx (not sure which, or maybe both), whereas I believe other stores probably rely solely on their regular distribution. I could be wrong about that, but it would make sense since both of those stores usually get items earlier than others. Expect them to take another week or two. I wanted to wait until another store got them, but my son's birthday is next Saturday and I wanted to surprise him. I've yet to surprise him with a Skylander, even when they come out close to his birthday/Christmas because he ends up watching videos on YouTube. If I can keep him from finding out for one more week....

I walked into my TRU in Stockton, CA around 4 PM yesterday and didn't see a single Enigma. An employee told me that it was probably sold out and walked away. A second employee offered to check the back, and came out with a full box of Enigmas. Yay, 2nd employee!

I walked into gamestop, walked out with ENIGMA....

My local Toys R Us had 35 on the pegs on Friday at 3 PM. Picked one up and a Disney Infinity figure that my son didn't have because he already had all of the Skylanders (to take advantage of the 40% off).

Found one at a Gamestop in NJ. Wanted to wait until they showed up at Best Buy, but I couldn't resist when I saw the box. Really good quality for a figure. All of them should have been designed like this.

Stopped by my TRU this morning (was unable to make it there yesterday) - they had nine on the shelf.

Lookks like whomever said scalpers were gonna snatch this one up were right on the ball.

Love the figure. He seriously might be my favorite designed figure. Whomever came up with his design and 3D tranaslation should make more figures.

I called my TRU on Friday and spoke with the manager, he said the truck came in but did not have them unloaded yet. I told him that we would not be there until Sunday and asked if he could hold one for me, he said no problem.
Sunday: I get there and they had over 30 on the shelf. Along with Buy 3 DI for $24 ($8 ea.) and 3 (2.0) disc for $5. Plus, my son got the free build-your-own Lego - Chewbacca Battle Ship.
SCORED!!!

I was tempted to dip my toes and try Infinity with that sale, but the no sale price is only 8% or so higher. I'll wait until they REALLY feel encouraged to dump their 1.0 and 2.0 stock.
