Thanks for the heads up. That clears things up a bit. Unfortunately for me, I have no Smyths anywhere near me.

Hi. I bought the fiery forge and preordered the 3DS starter pack from my local smyths. There were box saying preorder trap team and get a free pre trapped riot shield shredder. The guy I preordered from is the most reliable person there. He gave me two Kickoff Countdown lettings for free and confirmed this. I said no one believed me online because they couldn't find it on the website. He then said it's instore only. I thanked him then left.


WHAT RIOT SHIELD SHREDDER!!!!!

Maybe we'll be able to get it from ebay. That's probably the safest bet.


Anyway, can anyone confirm if the Riot Shield Shredder promo applies to the Charlton Smyths?

Hold on, when you pre-order Trap Team from GAME do they give you the outlaw brawl and chain there and then? Or is it like the UFO hat card and you have to wait until the game comes out?

I'll explain. If you preorder Trap Team in store from any store, you get both Gearshift and Riot Shield Shredder. I'm not sure if you can get Riot Shield Shredder without preordering but you have to wait until 2015 to get Gearshift if you don't. Also, you don't get the bonuses until you pick up the game.

I pre-ordered with zavvi.co.uk.

The Wii version is £40 there with free postage, apparently it comes with a "download" code for Trap Team on the WiiU!
So I got the "WiiU" version without disk ( I prefer it that way) for £40 and a spare Wii disk.

No pre-order bonus with Zavvi but for that price I am happy.

I can't justify the price for those at that price. Maybe as a present but I most likely won't be purchasing them myself. Shame, really.

We didn't join it the first time around because it way way too late... All the characters we wanted had been bought so it was a bit pointless. Hopefully this is a sign of them introducing the scheme early this time

I thought you might appreciate me posting this information. I contacted Smyths about both of their pre-order bonus's, and also asked if you could pre-order the 3DS version and still get them, it also mentions that you can pre-order online and still get them.

These are the replies I received.


In reply to my first question about the exclusives, and the online purchasability.

Thank you for your patience.

I can confirm that it is true about the two pre-order exclusives and this can be purchased on our online store.

Should you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact.

Kind regards,

Thomas

Customer Service

Smyths Toys Superstores



Next asking if this applied to purchasing the 3DS version as well as the console versions.

That is correct they will be valid for the 3ds version also.

Warm Regards,

Fergus

Customer Service Dept.

Smyths Toys Superstores



And finally to clarify the two "pre-order exclusives" mentioned were referring to Gearshift and the Riot Shield Shredder Trap.


I hope this is of help to someone. Also tomorrow I will be travelling to a (somewhat) nearby Smyths store and will be asking and probably pre-ordering the 3DS version there also, so long as what I was told was true.

I'll think I'll switch my 3DS preorder to smyths then. I've already preordered the dark edition from GAME so I'll still get both bonuses.

I have received similar confirmation this morning. They also told me that if you select the Next Day Delivery option, which costs nothing extra because you've spent over the threshold to qualify for free delivery, then they endeavour to have it arrive on release day.

In an ideal world, order both; standard from Smyths, Dark from GAME and get the best of both worlds. Obviously that might not be feasible.

I'd say Smyths definitely have the better deal if you're just getting the Standard Edition - a free Trap Master and an exclusive trap; that's at least £15 saved already. It's the same price as GAME, so if you don't care about which free trap you get then go with them.

If you're getting the Dark Edition, then you have no option really. Gearshift will release eventually.

That's what I have done. I'm going to switch to smyths, you can try and get a refund or try ebay. I've contacted game as you've seen above, I'm still waiting for a reply.

I don't think you can get your deposit refunded. If you pre ordered online, no deposit will have been taken, so you can cancel for free.

I checked in a GAME store and you can't get a deposit refunded for cash but you can get it refunded for in-store credit.

Bit of bad news I'm afraid everybody. I asked about the same pre-order stuff, however, I got a slightly different answer.

I asked:

"I just wanted to ask concerning the Pre-order for the Skylanders Trap team Starter pack for 3DS and it's supposed pre-order bonuses. In store promotions promise the inclusion of an exclusive 'Riot Shield Shredder' Trap and Skylander character 'Gearshift', however I have found no evidence of this order being available for online pre-order placements. Is this bonus applicable to online pre-ordering or is it an 'in-store-only' deal? Thanks."

They responded:

"Many thanks for your email.

Unfortunately, this offer does not seem to be running on our website at the the minute. We would advise you to Preorder this item in-store or to keep an eye on website for further updates on this offer in the coming days.

Sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any further queries, we will be more than happy to help.


Kind Regards,


Deirdre"


So, looks like we have conflicting information here everybody.

It was posted by the official smyths on Facebook and twitter so I wonder if she just hasn't been informed about gearshift. I'll send an email about it.

Here's my email, I'm waiting for a response (Nroc-Nuika, I'm referring to you as a "friend"):

Hello,
I have just recently pre-ordered the game "Skylanders: Trap Team", on the official smyths Twitter and Facebook you have said that the character "Gearshift" comes as a preorder bonus along with "Riot Shield Shredder", but a friend sent you an email about this and the reply stated "this offer does not seem to be running at the moment". Could you please confirm if Gearshift will or will not be a preorder bonus with Skylanders: Trap Team.
Thank you.

I'll post my reply when I get it (I'm still waiting for a reply from GAME).

#1099 Posted: 11:23:33 06/09/2014
Hopefully the number of queries coming in will make someone act decisively and get the correct info. In my twitter and email enquiries, I was careful to mention Gearshift as an "online pre order bonus" and both answers came back with Gearshift being available with every pre order copy.

This leads me to believe it'll be like when GAME announced their preorder bonus - small print stating that customers who have already pre ordered will still be eligible for the bonus.
