Well. I just got an email from cduniverse saying my figure is also on backorder. May not get it until September. I ordered a backup at walmart. Be funny if I get both. If I do, I'll very likely will sell it or trade it for another figure with someone.



Same thing here. Look at the fine print for the Wal Mart warning though...........this tree rex is very very different than what we are used to from Skylanders!

I called Walmart and they looked up the UPC, "Uh, I didn't find any with a green packaging with the Giants, it shows as 10 on the floor, I mean, if its not in the back, it could be stolen, I don't know."

Mmhmm, he didn't want to do the UPC because "it shows up as skylander minis or bigs and like 100". I had to ask to speak to his manager so he could do the UPC.

Walmart.com says they're Out of Stock for the entire area here. Is the website generally accurate at listing stock?

Those won't help anyone. TRU looks up items with their 6-digit item number. It should be on the receipt. I think it would go a long way in helping people find these through TRU, since it's on a store-by-store basis on who is selling them now or the 18th.

Edited the target one above too sorry for the double image, posting on my phone sucks.



Just wanted to point out that I just called Toys R Us with the store item number above (959034), and the salesperson on the phone told me this is the same number for a $15.99 Giants character single-pack, in general. She's just one sales clerk, and could be wrong, of course, but I wanted to share the info with others here just in case. If you have a similar experience, you're not alone.

I don't think that is correct. When I had them look up the item # it said Skylanders Tree. I called one TRU and they said they had 18 of them in the system, but couldn't find the actual character in the store.

I used the walmart.com inventory check before going to a nearby one. It was listed as in stock and I found about a dozen on the floor when I got there. So it seems to be accurate. Picked up 2 (one to open, one to keep/trade). There were also plenty of Fritolays sidekicks packages. It's in Mt View, CA, btw.

And you turned out pretty okay.


Short of "my kid is dying and needs this prescription to live", I don't think there's an occasion where you're absolutely "forced" to buy a particular toy for a kid.

When I was younger, there were certain toys I wanted. I didn't always get them. When I did, awesome. When I didn't, I usually got something else - and you know what? I played with it just the same. Some of my favorite games growing up were cheap, bargain bin titles because my mother couldn't really afford to throw $50+ on the "good" games. Still enjoyed them, still got by in life. Still have a lot of them to this day.

i can just imagine a child screaming "I NEED GNARLY! I NEED IT!" then watching as he dies as his parents take the packaged tree out of his hands.

horrifying.

Guys, before you read this you must understand that what I am about to say is 100% True, as it may sound otherwise and I do not have any pictures. If you need pictures to verify what I am going to say, please stop reading right here.

I Went to Wal Mart and saw: Gnarly Tree Rex, Warnado, S1 Hex, S1 Lightning Rod, S2 Hex, S2 Double Trouble, and lots and lots of LC Shroomboom. I picked up the Warnado and bought it. I live in Canada. SO GNARLYS OUT THERE, GO GET HIM!

Im in augusta, ga. My wife works at TRU and their gnarly tree rexes are boxed up with a release date of 8/16 I was hoping to get one early but they are stiklers about not releasing until the date on the box. I hit all the targets, walmarts, etc. with no luck.

Got a call from my local Gamestop and 20 minutes later I picked them up...2 for myself and the others for family and friends. Don't think they realized there was a street date but they said they didn't have one.

He looks amazing! I decided to order one from Walmart.com so I can keep saving for Disney Infinity! My Mom is buying it since I passed my Driving test! It said it wouldn't arrive until Aug 12.

EDIT: Actually she isn't...oh well!
