The stores like Bestbuy having the Buy two get one free save you the most money. Thats $7.18 a

character for three. ToysRus is having BOGO 40% off

but thats $9.93 per character.

I bought Jolly Bumble Blast on BestBuy.com this morning. I am a member of their Reward Zone and Gamers Club so when I put the item in the cart the price went from $9.99 to $7.99. I used a $5 certificate on the purchase so my total was only $3.23 with free expedited shipping. Not bad.

If you need 2 figures, TRU has the deal with buy 1 get 1 40% off, so it runs to $16 for 2 figures if they're $9.99 each or $17.60 for 2 figures if they're at $10.99 each. Best deal is at Best Buy where you can get 3 Swap Force core figures for $19.98 this week with the buy 2 get 1 free sale, but many of the stores that had availability this morning are starting to sell out of Jolly Bumble Blast as per the online pick-up status in my area.

Im having to get them to overide the Jolly Bumble Blast at Best Buy.com right now. It doesnt show up on the website, but since their sales ad states it, and it doesnt say "in store only" they are selling it to me.

Toys R Us by me in North Jersey had sold out after I purchased their last 2 at 11am lol. Did the buy 1 get 1 40% off, They wanted to limit me to one per transaction but since my 2 kids where there they overrode it!

I went to my local Toys r Us in Mississippi and they said they never got him in and it wasn't in their computer. I thought that was odd because they always had the Legendary's on day one. Anyways, I ended up going to Gamestop to get him. They had about 12 there.

#15 Posted: 01:08:50 09/12/2013
I recommend you get him sooner rather than later. He's going for over $20 on Ebay and stock availability seems to be dwindling and he's very difficult to be found in some areas. It'll be a hot Christmas item, so you might not see him again until after Christmas if you don't get him soon...just my 2 cents.

I'm both and none of that happened. Then again, I picked "pick-up at store" option.

They still say "add to cart" on the page for it. Usually that button isn't there if they're out of stock.

Jolly Bumble Blast isn't a chase variant. He likely comes in his own case assortment and is popping up everywhere. Unlike chase variants that only come 1 per so many cases of Skylanders assortments that contain multiple characters.

The button is still there if they are available for in store pick up. Yeah, they are out of stock for shipping right now - but every store in my area has them right now.

And Gamer's Club does work on them for an extra 20%. I can confirm it works on this figure, I ordered one for that price. It has to be the new Gamer's Club and once you add it to the cart it comes off in there. It also works in store or for pick up, I've gotten things those ways too.

I'm so unimpressed. I didn't know I had to re-sign up for it. I am already in that club! Boo!

Check your status on MyBestBuy.com

They re-upped a lot of former members that had "Unlocked" in the past year or so. There is a thread on cheapassgamer.com, and a guy from Best Buy is actively watching that thread (dc delta90). If they re-upped you, you should have been emailed a coupon for 2 extra years for $30 (instead of $120). They have had an issue with these emails being sent out, so you will probably want to PM the Best Buy guy if you should be eligible (the criteria is in that thread). I've normally hesitated to link that site as the crowd there is quite a bit older and not really intended for kids, so you have been warned. You could also visit their customer forums (forums.bestbuy.com/), I hear the employees there are pretty responsive, but sometimes threads go unanswered.

It's all the same stuff as before with the Gamer's Club ... but, the reason for the price bump was the new 20% discount on all games (and Skylanders/Infinity figures count!). Best Buy stinks for Skylanders in general, but with that discount, if you can find what you want, you are essentially getting the TRU B1G1 40% off all the time, but you get half the deal on each figure. They had a bunch of games for $14.99 last week that you could get for $11.99 with the deal - I picked up Metal Gear Rising and Fire Emblem, got Tiger Woods 14 for my brither in law and also got the discount applied for some other things I ordered on their Black Friday deals. Jolly Bumble Blast was $7.99 & Wreck It Ralph was $10.39, and by now the club has paid for itself, over the next two years it will really pay off, no doubt.

Has anyone seen them recently? I haven't spotted any when I checked last weekend or earlier this week....
Not that I expect them to be sold out a ton though. It's a big gross seeing so many Pumpkin Eye Brawls, Enchanted Hoot Loops and Nitro Magna Charges in stores after rushing around trying to find them when they came out.

EDIT: OH...I see, it's a Target exclusive ( :/ ) and it's exclusive to a double pack (ughhhh).

Yeah haha they've been out since Launch Day actually. I'm a bit surprised they still have them. It's great to still see them but I feel dumb for waking up early to get it now. I didn't even have the game then >___>

And as a matter of fact, I actually did find Jollys today at Target. I've been looking all over and no one had them in so I was assuming they were sold out. Target had a 3 on the shelves, 2 were bent/the bubble was coming off the card and the third I picked up has a tiny tiny dent on the bottom blister but...that's not too big of a deal.

I find the paint job on Jolly Bumble Blast to look so wonderful and I'm not usually an "OMG I LOVE X-MAS" type of person. Plus, it's so random they made a beehive guy be Santa. smilie

Anyways, the Target hunt is gonna be a pain as usual but I guess I'll have to do it if I want Nitro Magna Charge.

On 12/12, the Walmart I frequent had at least 12 Jollys, but the register would not allow the sale. I fought with them but there was no winning this one that day. I did get them to pull the stock off the shelves.

Anyway, I hit the Gamestop in the same parking lot and scored Jolly for a penny more.
