Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
I've been leveling up quickly with the "Crawling Catacombs". All those spiders rack up a lot of points. I had one character level up three times on that level. I've also been using the Hidden Dragon Treasure piece to get extra money from all the levels.

I leveled up Slam Bam to lvl 10 in just a couple of hours of play. I really like his character as he moves rather quickly and can freeze most enemies and then bash them.

Got Flameslinger in the mail today... he's one fiesty little punk. That flame trail circle thingy is cool. Can't wait to level him up all the way.
My son reset Drobot today. He wanted to upgrade him on the other "path."

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
I was bored/curious again today so I hit up Toys R Us, Target and K-Mart. The only store to have anything was K-Mart and I am guessing that is because our local store is a hell hole with less customers. I picked up the Empires of Ice set and they had the Crypt and Pirate sets as well. Still only saw 1 single figure pack all day.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
Target here got at least 2 each of 8 different characters Monday. But we have one of each of what they had. Bummer... At least they're starting to show up.
Since I was already at the mall I went by BB and got the most unhelpful/rude associate/stocker/idot ever when I simply asked if they had any in stock. Of course that's about par for this store. Just one more reason to stay away. I'd rather go to K-Mart and *that's* saying a *lot* as ours mirrors the one visited by MasterofDVD. You don't go there actually looking for anything as they never have ad items in stock.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
I just bought the Stanley Jr. cases at Wal-mart. They had them for $8 each. Both cases are packed full, with characters and adventure pieces, with the Pirate Ship not in a case. It seems to be a difficult piece to get in there.
As for characters, there were about 15 to 20 single packs, mostly Prism Break and Drobot, at the Wal-mart and three 3 packs. Nothing new though.

Neither of the WMs here had the Stanley storage units. I've not yet been by Lowes. BUT one of the WMs had quite a few 3 packs today. I picked up:
Wrecking Ball, Stealth Elf, Sonic Boom (we already own a Sonic Boom so it may go back if I can get WB & SE at regular price in the next couple of weeks or so)
Whirlwind, Double Trouble, Drill Sergeant
They had 3-4 of the "Wrecking Ball, Stealth Elf, Sonic Boom" set and 3-4 of the "Drobot, Flameslinger, Stump Smash" one. I got the *only* copy of "Whirlwind, Double Trouble, Drill Sergeant" on the shelf. I'm very pleased with today's finds!

Got a Flameslinger at Best Buy last night and found the Whirlwind/Double Trouble/Drill Sergeant 3-pack this morning at Target. And ordered a Zap for regular price off Amazon last night that should show up next week.

I had a 3 pack with Whirlwind and the others in hand this morning at Wal-mart but as I grabbed it a family rolled up with 2 kids looking for some figures so I handed it to them and told them to get it. I already have the 3 characters and was going to grab it for a friend but figured I would make someone else's day. The two little kids were excited as they talked about the rainbow thing that Whirlwind does.

The Darklight Crypt expansion arrived today (back-ordered from amazon a few weeks ago - of course regular price). I now have a extra level and 8 characters the kids don't yet know about!

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
Got an email from Walmart.com that my Empire of Ice expansion I ordered like 3 weeks ago was cancelled due to lack of inventory. I think putting in an order 3 weeks ago should give you plenty of time to get an order in but whatever. Reminded me why I never deal with Walmart.

You guys have nothing on this guy! He's got three copies of each figure released (one to play with, one to display, and one in the package). Activision must love this dude!

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
Looks like 4 of some as there are 3-packs on the wall along with individual pack characters.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
Both Target and WM here had the same half-dozen figures with 6 of each. Dino Rang, Drobot, Boomer, Hex, Wrecking Ball, and Zap. I thought it odd that both stores had the exact same assortment of figures. I didn't waste time with BB based on the rude employee from the last time as well as the gouging they are engaging in with the online pricing, although their online inventory tracker did show the store to have stock of some individual characters. I *did* pick up a Wrecking Ball in anticipation of getting a Stealth Elf sometime soon at MSRP and taking back that 3 pack I purchased a few days ago.
