Skylanders, Anyone?
#1226
Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
^I was at the local Target Wednesday. They had 6 copies of Eye-Brawl, a Thump Back, *lots* of Swarm and an assortment of regular figures which included 10 or so *regular* Flashwing but *no* Jade Flashwing variants. The item locator shows *zero* in stock within 100 miles. Does anyone show this available?
It's not indicated - is this going to be another Target exclusive?

Yes, it's a target exclusive. A couple stores near me show stock. I will check it out after work.
Edit: SD is saying the gnarly tree rex wii bundle is $99 at Target now. I want to buy the damn thing and sell the Wii...

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
jade flashwing is available online now
Edit: Picked up two jade flashwings at my local Target. They were completely stocked this time. They had Eyebrawl, Thumpback and Hot Head. I still have yet to see a Hot Dog battlepack at Target.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
My Molten Hot Dog came in to Walmart today... So I checked the video game area and found a Scorpion Battle Pack there.
So I brought home ketchup and mustard.
... and thanks to the note above Jade Flashwing is on its way (Even though the five dollars was a little steep for shipping).

I found Molten Hot Dog on the shelf this afternoon at Walmart. It looked like they had restocked recently as there were also a bunch of Thumpback, and Eyebrawl.

Managed to snag Ninjini on Gamestop tonight, so I'm good to go for now except for the Battle Pack. But my Molten Hot Dog should be coming in soon too.
And I too saw Eye Brawl and Thumpback tonight at Target, so they are out there.

Ninjini *was* in stock at WM and Amazon for a few minutes but I didn't get checked out in time... Oh well. At least they're showing up. 
*EDIT*
Just managed to get a Ninjini in my Amazon cart and check out! Now for that Jade Flashwing (going to check the store before coughing up ~$5 shipping!) after which the wait for Scarlet Ninjini begins...

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
I love that Molten Hot Dog is yellow in game. My son and I took the dogs for a run last night and it was easy to tell them apart.
Does anyone know if Flashwing (Blue) and Jade Flashwing (Green) are different in game?

I'm striking out on my hunt for a Ninjini -- Anyone find one and still need a Thumpback or Eyebrawl? I have an extra of each and will trade + some $$ for your trouble

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
GameStop had the reposed S2 Spyro and Wrecking Ball on their site for a few minutes last night (no... I didn't get them
). They also have the single pack of Hot Dog online. Of course all are OOS at the moment.
Here are the links:
Spyro S2
Wrecking Ball S2
Hot Dog
AND...
Scarlet Ninjini is currently being listed at Amazon Germany as (exklusiv bei Amazon.de) with a March 15th date. Does this mean we'll see a exclusive of this one at Amazon US?
PLUS...
Polar WhirlWind has been seen in Norway (reportedly at local grocery stores but *not* game shops).

The only way to play chapters 17-20 in Giants is to get the Adventure Packs, right? I can't see paying $25+ per pack to get one chapter. It drives my son bonkers though that these chapters exist and he can't get to them. :-)

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
FYI if you can still find them in the store, you can unlock the levels without opening the packaging...

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
Ninjini is currently was in stock at Amazon for March 7th shipping.
The *only* Giant currently not offered by Amazon is Hot Head. All others are in stock from Amazon *not* MP vendors.

Yes, you have to get the adventure packs. You can always borrow them from someone as it stays unlocked in your save file once you use it. You might want to make a few extra saves with various difficulties as you have to unlock it for each save file.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
We own those from the first go 'round but it *still* bugs the crap out of me that those have not been kept in stock since they unlock levels in Giants. A couple appear to be *very* hard to find. IMHO this is almost unconscionable on Activision's part. If something that *unlocks* "bonus" content isn't available all you're going to do it make people mad and they may not be back for the next sequel. Are they truly OOP or is there a false demand being created?

My local Walmart has a boat load of Molten Hot Dogs, a few Thumpbacks and Eye Brawls and some three-packs (all Series 2 characrters) that I hadn't seen before.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
I haven't seen any new 3 packs except for at gamestop. They had one with Terrafin. There is one with lightning rod and another with fright rider. I have no idea why none of the other stores near me seem to get any of them...

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
They had the Terrafin/Eruptor/Stealth Elf and Lightening Rod/Prism Break/Drill Sergeant packs there.

Golden Flameslinger is back in stock at Amazon in case anyone missed it before. I'm ordering a second one (I kept the first and put it on my display shelf in the office, much to my son's chagrin).

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
I was at my local gamestop earlier and saw all the Giant figures including Ninjini... I also saw series 2 spyro.
Apparently amazon was sending the golden flameslinger to people who ordered the standard series 2 figure. The standard figure is now under review and not being sold by amazon lol
I hate these new 3 packs that keep including figures from an older wave. The Fright Rider 3 pack comes with wrecking ball and Flameslinger. I was hoping for a new 3 pack with Spyro, Wrecking Ball and someone else...
Series 2 Drill Sergeant, Sonic Boom, Sprocket and Stump smash are all $5.99 right now at amazon.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
Jackpot! Went last night to pick up Wreck It Ralph from Best Buy and figured I'd check their Skylanders. Right there in the front of one rack was a single Ninjini! Guess who (for now) is the best dad ever? At least until the next figures come along.
