Very happy she found one on the way to the hospital to give to my son and another near where the TRU employee lives. He will get it transferred so we can give it to the son of the friend who is watching our other children. Awesome customer service from TRU! I have never experienced anything else there.

Glad you found it!
Next time post it here (if you have no local luck)
I would have been happy to try and help you out!

and yeah, I also had some super great TRU service this week.

My TRU had 3 Rapals, picked those up. Thanks OP

I'm not nearly as committed to it as you are, though. If a game is rare or significantly cheaper, I'll easily give in and buy a used copy without giving it much thought (as long as it's complete).

Got "volunteered" to work on a project at my job that's consumed me the last 36+ hrs, so sorry for the late reply, but that's the feeling I like imagining as well! I used to collect coins as well but gave it up in high school, having never owned an uncirculated coin, so your lucky

But back on topic, got bit by the Skylanders bug, so made my fourth round on this glorious last day of the B2G1 and picked up 15 of the figures earlier today. Ok, I'm done for real this time

Nice score. You have no idea how hard it was for me to not buy those stupid Spyro figures. I don't even think the game is going to be all that great, but I loved the old Spyro games and a lot of those guys look really cool. I would've been all over these last month or next month, but I sadly had to pass on them tonight. I just hope I'll manage to find the exclusive/rare-ish ones for a fair price once I actually have money.

Are any of the skylanders going to be rare? I've seen a ton of them around. I guess not a big seller in my area. TRU, Target, and Best Buy seemed to move only a few units this week.

I've seen tons of them at many stores as well, so not sure if any are rare or ever will be, but figured the B2G1 was a great opportunity to pick some up. Now, I can start checking my list against whats available in other stores to see if there are any cooler ones I'm missing.

*sigh i was hoping there would be some mentions of ps2s but looks like theyre completely dried up.

Do you mean the PS2 systems or games?

Worked 4 straight days and missed the drop on the Rapala games. This royall sucks because I spent 3 days last week looking for a deal on this combo to see if the pole worked with Sega Bass Fishing on XBLA.

Now even Best Buy drops it to $29 and all the stores around me have sold out!

I'm pretty sure they dropped to $19.99 at Target, but not positive...

Still need to check local TRU to see if they are decent on clearances

My local TRU still has the console in black but it is full price

Some of them are definitely going to be rare, but I don't know about any of the ones that are currently on shelves. There are some exclusives that won't be around long, though. And there's a TRU exclusive that you can only get by spending $100 on Skylanders stuff between now and Christmas Eve.

What exclusive, I thought they were just giving you a voucher for one of the $7.99 ones. I've spent close to $100, I think I only need less than $10, I bought six 3-packs and three singles during the b2g1 sale last week.

EDIT: From what I can gather from reading a few forums is that there is a legendary version of Trigger Happy that will be the exclusive.

Could use some advice. My local TRU has six Cabela's yet not a single rep can find them. The system stated it was on the floor though after 15 minutes no one in the store could find them. In the end I was told they're probably not in stock or sold out.

I'd say you probably answered your own question,lol jk.I'm still undecided if its even worth $10 myself.

Based on what I have seen on my local TRU; the workers that are in the video game area that know of the deals tend to put them under the video game cashier desk until off work and then buy them all; maybe if you gotten earlier you would have gotten at least one; I have seen them do it when I used to buy the clearance games last year...

It seems like people are going crazy over these Cabela games all of a sudden... What's the deal with that? I always thought these games were considered kind of a joke. Are they finally making decent games or what? I'm genuinely curious because our TRU had a few of these last night. Same goes for Rapala, although it was quite expensive in my opinion.

Yeah, that Trigger Happy is what I was talking about. I honestly don't know a whole lot about it because I thought there were only going to be a few figures total (so I'm way out of the loop), but I've heard a bit of scuttlebutt here and there.
