Today my toys r us didn't

Much of this was never actually confirmed as true "release date"

My store said they had something....will be calling shortly to "hold me one". I'll report back if they know anything.

Whoever I spoke to yesterday looked at the wrong item. Had an employee go all the way to his district manager. Nada. No notice. Was however pissed that the local store was holding a green high volt behind the counter for some customer. I was there at opening. Not fair

I'm going today... But Toys "R" Us don't open on the Pacific coast for another hour and 40 minutes... It's only 8:20 AM where I live, but the hours are 10:00 AM-9:00 PM monday-thursday

Called another one and they said they have nothing and no list with release dates for anything Skylanders related.

The TRU I wen to on the 26th (for wave 2) claimed they only had "some legendary thing" in the back, so I'm pretty sure mine will have them.

Just confirmed that mine just got them in, 16 cases apparently, and even though there isn't anyone there asking for them and I'm the person who alerted them to their existence in the store, they won't hold one for me until I can get off of work and go pick it up. Got told that this policy change had supposedly been in place since last year (which I know is false) due to people fighting over the new releases of various TTL (believable, but the policy that I was made aware of was 1 per customer, not "no holds"). (sigh) Guess it's time to talk to the manager again when I get there and get things straightened out.

Just called nothing at my TRU (Kennewick Wa)

Can we merge this topic with that one?: //forum.darkspyro.net/spyro/vi...c=123048&page=2

Nothing at either of mine.
Darkchylde, where do you live that you were lucky to get one?

My wife just picked up mine. I'm on XBO. Maybe we can have an Air party tonight for anyone who wants to join.

TakeYourLemons,
Where do you live? Mine didn't have any and I live in CA.

North Carolina.

I was there 5 minutes before they opened, and there were two guys talking about Little Mac restocks. They opened up the store, but nothing was out. I asked the employee (who was the same one who claimed to have them in the back) if they had got anything for skylanders, and they looked around the back. A line formed behind me, and asked what they were waiting for. They all said Amiibos, and literally right then the employee walked out with a couple boxes of amiibos. They opened them up and they pulled out Foxes, Captian Falcons, Olimars, and... A whole Box of little Mac. They asked who wanted what Amiibos, and I jumped on the chance to get a Little Mac (the only one they got in that I didn't have.).

They told me they didn't have any skylanders in the back, but it was one the list. They gave everyone their amiibos, and another employee walked out of the back, carrying a box full of Lucario! I bought that one too, and left the store. As I was driving off, the FedEx truck pulled in, followed by the UPS truck. I went back in, and saw them unloading Skylanders boxes, with do not sell before Oct. 1st. I told them that's what I was looking for, but they said they had to inventory it, which was going to take all day. They told me to come back tomorrow, so that's what I'll do.

Found it today. I beat Wolfgang and all the others already LOL

I have mine in hand. On the shelves (two rows) and she checked out. Yowzers! $38 and change for this? Facepalm. Too expensive.

Well, I haven't gotten any just yet, but I'm in Tennessee.

Wish I could, but I don't own an XBox One, so no dice. Once the prices of individual discs drop (or find someone who would swap for a Wii U copy) I'll be picking up a PS3 copy and will be available on PS3/PS4/Wii U, but sadly no XBox One. I still refuse to buy the system due to the way they handled Halo 5 multiplayer, which I'm also going to miss.

I'll eventually get a PS4....no worries.

Charlotte and the Greensboro/Winston-Salem areas both got stock today, although whether it's all been put out properly or not is another question entirely. If you're near Raleigh/Durham, you'll have a drive ahead of you, lol!

Thanks. I am not that desperate...I will be patient or just order online. Sucks that my area did not get them.

Honestly? Depending on how on-the-ball your TRU locations are, it might have. The ones in the Winston-Salem area have consistently gotten everything on time but either failed to unpack it or put it away into overhead bins but in each case failed to notice or catalog what they had gotten in. This morning, when I called my local store, I had to tell them to go check the daily deliveries for Skylanders stuff before they could report to me that they had, in fact, gotten them in.

I guess today was some sort of big day for rare wave 1-2 Amiibos being restocked? With that being the case, everything non-Amiibo probably got shuffled to the side and ignored until much later. If you're not too far out from any of your TRUs, I'd swing by and ask politely for whoever is in electronics to take a look at the boxes they got today and check out the stockroom to make sure they don't have anything labeled "Hold until 10/1", which would be these packs.

Good luck!

I thought I read you weren't buying variants?

Thanks. I was in the middle of doing that the last time I posted. The guy was rude but checked everything in the back. I will just check in tomorrow. There still aren't any on ebay so obviously not a widespread release yet haha.

I'm not doing them next year. As of now I'm only going to do figure variants (no vehicle variants unless they are packaged in a pack with a figure like this sky pack is). I may break down if the figure looks REALLY good or like the character. Just can't justify 23 variants this time. And to think I owe Activision's greed of requiring multiple starter pack purchases this year for changing my purchasing habits.

IRONICALLY, XBOX LIVE CORE SERVICES IS DOWN. I can't even login to play my new pack. Sigh.

None today. Hopefully tomorrow
