legendaryjman Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Bah, non of my wal-marts, toys r us's, or gamestops got any thumpbacks or eye brawls. I'm in Cali so it must be an east coast thing. I talked with my local gamestop guy again and confirmed that the sidekicks will be a promo for a $30 skylanders purchase starting wednesday. Unfortunately the promo does not say they can be sold individually, so unless your gamestop breaks the rules (which mine wont) you gotta cash out to get them.

Lord Dirt Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I live in TX so not just an East Coast thing and my Gamestop will do some shady stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkdoll Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Anyone grab a sidekick yet? what ones can you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkdoll Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Oh man I just picked up thump and eye at gamestop today just now! plus got my free sidekick with buying them! The guy had literally just taken them out of the shipping box when I arrived and they had only gotten 2 of each character. I was very lucky, but so was my friend who I picked up the other set of them as well as the sidekick for her as well =) So they are in Nebraska at random gamestops not all of them apparently and they only got a shipment of 2 each of the giants.

Higginjoe Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Just saw the Gamestop closest to where I work had a Thumpback and two Eye Brawls behind the counter. We definitely didn't have them where I work, so something must be weird. Some Gamestops and Wal-Marts have them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOOKH8R Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Are the sidekicks playable or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkdoll Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Are the sidekicks playable or anything? You put the regular character on the portal first, then put the sidekick on the portal with it. It will appear in game and follow your player character around while you play/level but it doesn't do anything extra. Follows and looks cute.

They are Non-combat pets. So not really worth $30, but I was spending thirty bones anyway so its a nice bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme987 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) No Thumpback or Eyebrawl here in Southwestern Ontario Canada yet ... I checked Ebgames, Wal-mart & Toysrus. Lots of wave 3 floating around. I'm not too worried though. Don't really need them until closer to Easter anyway for my son. I'll be able to get them in a month or so when they have lots left in stock. Either that or I'll reserve them @ Ebgames.

Pawneezr Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Only a few areas in Florida have gotten them in. My location has not. It's driving me crazy stopping by every store every day on my way to and from work checking to see if they have come in yet. STILL NOTHING!!!!

Pawneezr Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Finally found them at a GameStop in the next town over from me. I walked in right when they pulled them out of the box and the guy didn't want to sell me more then one and then after I starting shaking he said whatever I'll just sell them all to you. So I bought two of each and a lightning rod so I could get two Sidekicks in with it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aniles06 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Our Gamestop finally got them The manager even called to tell me they got them, which we never asked them to do I thought that was sweet. We are exclusive to Gamestop as much as possible so they know us too well haha! We did get a sidekick...a little whisper elf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whtsnk58 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Would like to say that GameStop does have the Golden Scorpion Stalker Battle Pack in stock now (assuming it hasn't sold out at your local store). We've also started to receive Thumpback and Eye-Brawl figures in our shipments. So try and snag yourself one of those free Sidekick figures before those are all out too. I still haven't seen a Lightcore Shroomboom though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOOKH8R Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 GameStops in the NC Triad area have tons of Scorpion Stalker Battle Packs. Found one Thumpback but no EyeBrawl. I also was able to get a Trigger Snappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkdoll Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I still haven't seen a Lightcore Shroomboom though. I got mine quite a while ago, December 2012 at toys r us. They had 10 of them there the day I went in. They used to have it listed on the website for sale but it seems to have been removed. Amazon has them listed for sale tho.

chasmyn Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 We got the Scorpion Striker Battle Pack at Gamestop where we live (near Tigard, OR) but Thumpback and Eyebrawl remain elusive. We did get Terrabyte, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
