geez i went to the toysrus in white plains ny yesterday and they are now charging $11.49 for singles not like any were in stock but wow

I was at Kmart this morning for nba 2k12 (which of course they didn't have) but they did have some skylanders including the 3 pack that comes with drill sergeant and whirlwind. I had it on order from Amazon, but since they don't seem to be shipping it anytime soon Kmart got my money instead.
Single figures were still $7.99 and the triple packs were $19.99.

I wonder how much they spent to get the exclusives from activision.. these things will go up even more when the giants come out because they will cost more to make..

Amazon has a bunch of figures and pirate seas and dark light crypt in stock..

I finally managed to get a Drobot figurine at a Target. There were at least three.

Weird. I've seen about 200 Drobots in the past 2 weeks, because it's usually the only one available at stores here.

as of 1am its hex, boomer, dino-rang, zap, eruptor, wrecking ball

no cynder of course

Picked up a couple Cynders at Wal-Mart yesterday for co-workers. They had about 5-6 of them along with a few each of Double Trouble, Drill S., Whirlwind, Chop Chop & Flameslinger.

I'm so addicted that despite having all of them released so far, I'm hunting them down for friends.

Thanks for mentioning this. I was able to pick up a Hex figure, which I haven't seen in any stores since before Christmas.

I was also curious what my sealed version of Stealth Elf was going for since I have an extra (the vast majority of ones I've seen are ones pulled out of 3 packs or the 3DS starter) and I came across this review/comments. I've said it before, and I'll say it again; you can always tell who has and who has not collected toys before.

Saw 2 Cynders at my Best Buy last night, surprising. I had one already so I left them there, will be a nice find for $8 hopefully for someone who is going to keep it.

If anyone would be willing to part with a Sonic Boom card, contact me. I have the code and the figure but no card.

The closest walmart to me is about 15 miles away so its not somewhere i can check daily i think ive been there 3 times in the last 3 weeks and its been clean all 3 times.

Or open up the secondary branching path. Hope the Giant figures don't cost twice as much.

I'm bracing myself for them being $20 each...

I was checking Amazon and I saw that there was a whole mess of 3DS versions of Skylanders being sold for ~$24 shipped. All of them said that their sets didn't include the figures, except for one posting that didn't say anything about it at all. I sent them an email and asked them if the figures were included, and they said "all accessories are included." At $23, I figured I'd take a chance; thinking that I could always ask for a discount when it turned out that all the accessories weren't included. Well, it turned out that they were. The game, portal, cable, figures, cards, online codes, the poster, and everything else were all included in the original box. I paid more money for the Empire of Ice expansion pack than I paid for the whole 3DS starter set.

I don't know why a seller would give you all that for $23 shipped. They are getting hit with Amazon fees of about $5. Then they must have shipped via Priority for about $6 if not more (would be over 1 pound with all that in the original box). That's just stupid - but good for you I guess . I actually sold one of the figure-less 3DS sets on Amazon myself. I wanted the extra figs for my kids but of course didn't need another game/portal. It was barely worth even doing that. After shipping/fees I cleared about $9 for the game+portal. That's just ridiculous. Your seller must have cleared about $4. That's not good on a $69.99 set (even if they got it for $39.99 at Best Buy last week).

Iphone app in development New figures to have better intigration into web-based game. Regarding the forward compatibility- I think it's going to be a bit of a mess for them when these come out and parents by them for their kids old games and they don't work.

TRU is getting a timed exclusive on the Sunburn adventure pack!? ing A! Not only is TRU expensive, they are inconvenient (far away from me, and very few locations compared to Best Buy/Target/Gamestop), and hard to find things at. They need to stop giving TRU these damn exclusives. And I see there are more there that I will probably never get either. Argh!

At least I'm glad none of this is Walmart-exclusive. That is the only other major store that would be less convenient than TRU. I know this is not true most places, but there are very few Walmarts where I live. I don't like going there anyway but it isn't even easy (far away, not near anything else, etc).

I found a Cynder today, how rare is this thing? Should I be unloading it on eBay while I can?

If you don't want it give it to somebody here. I'm sure you won't get any love in this thread considering how many people are having trouble finding it.

Cynder is so hard to find that I have no problem with anyone selling it on ebay. It'll pay for more skylanders. My lack of love is the fact that he can't just go on ebay and look up how much they're going for himself.

I'll see if I can use it to pay for the Flameslinger I bought for myself. Eruptor isn't that fun to play with so I wanted to get another Fire character. Really I just want to have one of each and I'm not out to collect the whole set.

If I can use Cynder to pay for the one I keep and end up getting that for free then I win!

I almost never mind reselling, except in large quantities. One or two, who cares. Five, and you're tipping over.

agreed find one or two and want to sell sure find 20 and buy them for the sake of selling thats a little much my friend in south dakota found a legendary pack today and has been very broke lately cause he got cut hours at his job he would be stupid not to sell it

I don't care what he does, all I was trying to say is some people might be sensitive about it, you guys know how this site gets at times.
