get their shipments in? i want to know so i can get the new giants.

Varies from store to store. You should ask a couple of employees at your nearest or the least stocked; they usually will get shippments when the request for more.

They get shipments 7 days a week, or so I was told by an employee once. However I was also told that most of their stuff like toy and electronics stuff comes in mon and tuesday and is usually put out at night so its out tues and wens. But I habe seen new skylanders on a monday morning before, so I guess it depends on the store and the employees or managers. If you go in and find someone nice they will usually tell you when the best time to come in for what your looking for is. Hope this helps.

thanks! i'll be going bright and early tuesday morning.

They get UPS shipments Monday-Friday (thats how Skylanders are shipped), never knowing if skylanders are on the truck until they show up. The issue is they will place an order when stock is down. Like my Walmart: If their shelfs are stocked they will not request for more stock. Unless it is a new Wave (Like Wave 3) they will get them sent to them but not have the room to put on the floor and end up waiting until there is room on the floor to put them out. A month after Wave 2 was release (Early on a Sunday Morning)I asked an employee to check the stock in the back (they had over 30 boxes we opened up - In the Layway department). That's how I got my Stone Zook. Since then the lady that helped me that day no longer works there and the other employees are snobby and could care less to help out customers. So variants are going to be even harder to find in my case.

24 hour Walmarts restock from 10PM to 2AM, so check in the early AM for new stock.

Edit: fixed AM/PM error.

You mean 10PM to 2AM?

My walmart puts their electronics shipments out at 2-5pm...I've walked in and seen the boxes sitting and waiting to be unpacked in the past. Look for a cart with them stacked up with all their electronics. Should be interesting this week

Yep, I am going to go check in the morning to see if mine got any put out or not.

Same here.

Edited because my phone reposted

I was im one of my walmarts (there's like 3 within ten/fifteen mins of my house) last night and it like 12:30 am and theywthey were restocking everything in the store (groceries, clothes, toys, electronics) I was there for a while and checked before I left if they had out out anything new but nothing and their giants display was pretty bare. I would have asked the lady, but when giants was released they had the statter sets on the shelves a week early and she walked by and basically snatched it out of my sons hands and said it wasnt supposed to be out yet.... very hard to explain to a 5 year old why they had it on the shelf and even though he had been excited about it for months since he saw it on the computer he had to wait, and obviously other people had been buying it because the shelves they were on looked completely picked through..... back on topic... I think it depends on if thebstore is 24 hrs and the staff. Sucks becausebmost the people in the ine we go to most are just grumpy people

Skylanders come in with the movie and video game shipments, which means Monday through Friday anywhere between 12 PM to 3 PM. If you're looking to see if they restocked, check around then. The boxes are clearly labeled with wave numbers too, so if you see a cart being worked and some skylanders boxes on it, you should be able to tell what's coming out of them at a glance excluding any chase variants.
