Re: Skylanders, Anyone?

CAGs are reporting that Camo, Warnado and WhamShell are already out in the wild. Wal-Mart is the supposed source of them. I had no luck this morning before work.

I can confirm that they must be out because my mom just called me from a gamestop checking to see which one's were left that my son needs and she said that she had Warnado and Camo in her hands. She also said that she saw Wham Shell early but didn't buy him because she thought he already had that one. Dammit.

He is now down to just 4 not counting any of the legendary/alternate figures which luckily he doesn't seem to care as much about.

At least this will be the last go round for awhile for many of us.

Camo & Warnado were on Gamstop's website briefly yesterday. Got in an order since I struck out at WM. Two down and one to go.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?

Well, my mom scored like crazy at wal-mart yesterday after she left Gamestop and was able to get Zook, Ignitor, & Lightning Rod. I think she just got really lucky yesterday.

So all that is left is Wham Shell and any Legendary Skylanders we happen to stumble upon (though I will not be actively looking for those).

Just to confirm, all the Legendary Skylanders are just TRU exclusives, correct?

I really hope to luck up on Wham Shell so we can be done looking for awhile.

My kids got my 1st gen iPad when I got a new one, and my son spent a decent chunk of the morning playing Skylanders Cloud Patrol.

You can enter in the figures you already have and he seemed to really enjoy it. Totally worth 99 cents.

The only thing that sucks is this game, like the new Angry Birds game, is not compatible with the 2nd generation iTouch...which means my kid can't put either on his (which means he has to put his grubby dirty hands on my or my wife's phone).

Perfect way to get me to upgrade his Touch...dammit.

Thanks! The kids are having a blast with this game, I didn't know it existed and it's b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l on my new iPad 3.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?

Any of you guys have any of the newest and last figures in hand? I know at least Camo and Warnado have been released at Walmart but they haven't said anything about Wham Shell despite there being a few of them on ebay.

According to the folks on CAG, WhamShell was released in Australia. That's why they are popping up on ebay.

I talked more to my mom and I believe she was mistaken about seeing wham shell in the wild.

Anyone know if that skylanders game will be released for android?

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?

Thanks a lot folks : I got that Skylanders game for the iPad yesterday and my son keeps stealing the iPad from me since. I should be able to add it to his iPod touch, but I need to update the iOS to do that and think I have to be at the home computer to do that.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?

If you have iOS 5 you can update over wifi now, no computer needed. I picked up the iPad app as well. Petty fun game for a dollar. I entered the code for the guys I have but I'm missing some of the cards. Is there a way to get those missing code cards?

I found a Cynder today at Target and Legendary Trigger Happy at TRU.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?

Hi Everybody and Happy Easter,

Anybody get any new skylanders for Easter? The Easter Bunny was really kind to me and hid a couple of packs behind the sofa.

Got 3 pack L. Rod, Cynder and Zook and single pack D. Trouble.

That takes my total up 30 figures and 2 adventure packs. I'm going to update my collection listing and I hope you guys get a chance to check it out.

I've got a cool way of getting the figures out of the box with minimal damage and keep the boxes in the garage. I'll show you guys when I get moment!

A note I wasn't very impressed with the quality of the L. Rod figure, the paint seams a little flakey and is not as high quality as the other characters. I hope he plays better than he looks. We're away for the holidays so I'll have to wait till i get home to try them out.

Great post by the way and thanks for the heads up on the Skylander Ipad apps. I'm going to get those! Keep up the good work collectors!

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?

^My Easter Bunny is mean. He gave them the "Lightning Rod/Cynder/Zook" 3 pack early last week and is making them wait until later this week to open it. They have to mind, do their chores, and *not* ask to open it for several days (not specified - totally at whim) before it'll be made available for play. For now, all they can do is look. He's also holding back the Empire of Ice Adventure Pack *and* the 3DS game, neither of which they know is in the house. They also do not know about the ordered Legendary Trigger Happy.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?

My kids are playing with Legendary Trigger Happy (my 4 yr old's favorite character) and Double Trouble (6 yr old) right now...easter presents.

My girls still love the game, although they're not playing nearly as much of it as they were a few months ago. I think it's because the later levels are still a little too difficult for them - none of their saves have gone past 15% or so.

My TRU had about....150 or so of the Legendary Triggers. Aside from that, they had maybe 1 or 2 other normal guys. Picked clean.

All I want to do is find a starter pack with a damn Air character.

My boy woke up today and the second thing he said was Skylanders. He's been playing on the floor with the figures he got for Easter for about 2 hours now.

Gamestop (*gag*) has a few 3-packs online that have Whirl Wind and Sonic Boom in them:

But shipping starting at $5 is the killer.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?

Stopped by Target at lunch yesterday. Picked up the old Crypt pack and the new-ish Ice Empire pack for $20 each. I keep looking for that Zook, Cynder and Lightning Rod set, but at least now I have something to give my son for his birthday next month.
