It's always surprising to see newer skylanders in tesco as their selection is normally quite poor. I went in there today - no sign of thunderbolt or short cut.

We are being treated so much better by activision this year than previous years, I think the days of waiting months for a wave after the US are over now!

Let's just hope I didn't speak too soon (Skylanders 5)...

... "Put these out on shelves please" Toys R Us Shelve Stacker "Yes Boss" ... ... Small boy " Hey Mum, its Nitro Head Rush, can I have it, can I have it?..." Mum "Oh all right, now where is it again" Small Boy " Its over here" Grown Man (Scalper) "They're all mine!" Small Boy "WAHHHHH" Grown Man (Scalper) "Alright alright, keep your voice down, you can have this one" Small boy leaves with the toy and the grown man (scalper) leaves with precisely 39 other ones.

Just a heads up...Amazon France have the Fire/Tech/KAOS 3 trap pack for 14.99EUR which works out at £13.98 delivered.

Not due in until next Friday but seems to be the best way to get a Kaos Trap at the moment

I've noticed a few figures dropping off the radar and I'm starting to think that Trap Team will be the most incomplete of the Skylanders toylines to date in the UK.

We STILL have not yet seen the fire or water minis pack, haven't seen EE Terrafin or Stealth Elf in any other supplier other than Grainger Games, not to mention that some sites haven't replenished their old stock, let alone getting new stock in. Tesco and Gamestop, didn't even get wave 3 last I checked.

Tesco got Wave 3 in stores but not online, true about the minis but argos have had the fire one up for a while and have still not got stock of it. I think the main problem is there are too many toys this year and retailers do not want to invest as much now that there are traps and ASDA has ditched skylanders completely online, not even sure if their stores have them anymore. We're up to date on most skylanders bar a few but just not enough stock, especially the light and dark adventure packs which went in a flash.

EDIT: Found this ebay listing, shows 13 sold in 24 hours and more than 10 available, scalpers are at work. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-...=item339e75106f

My son's interest in collecting all the characters has completely dropped off this year. There are just too many now for him and once the game's completed, there's no reason to buy more and go back to it. He was really looking forward to Enigma and Short Cut, but because they've taken so long to arrive, he couldn't care less now.

So at this point have I completely missed my change to get the Light and Dark expansion packs now?

I only really care about the levels because I want to be able to play everything.

But I dropped off Skylanders for a while and suddenly it looks like everything is not for sale or sold out.

Hope has arrived, my local GAME had the new traps in store. No light or dark (I'm not sure if there are any included in it) but they had all the others' I think.

No sign of that Light Rocket with RLG inside still. I'm gutted I missed that opportunity window

Experiencing the same situation in our household. I don't think Short Cut has been touched at all!
In fact, we haven't played the game much between wave 3 and 4. I put it down to delay between characters as Wes suggests, and lack of depth in the combat within the game itself. I don't think Skylanders lends itself too well to this kind of puzzle-platformer that it seems to be this time around :/

In fact, we got QD Rattle Shake from the GAME Skylanders club on Saturday, and ended up testing him out on SWAP Force.

Best of all, amongst them I found a Clear Thunderbolt! Hurray, my first chase variant!

I still have no clue why they made the kaos trap so rare, you'd think they'd make him easier to find as he is one of the biggest selling points of trap team or better yet, include him in the regular starter pack.

My local GAME had the new trap triples in stock. Four packs of the Kaos/Fire/Tech triple, but when I got to the store, none of the Air/Undead/Magic one unfortunately.

Coupled with the sheer amount of wave 4 traps that have started appearing in my town, I'd say that Traps are finally starting to be appropriately stocked. I'd recommend if anyone's looking for a specific trap, to go to the local suppliers and start having a look

Also, Smyths has the last four sets of Minis up on their site. No release date yet and no pre-order, but promising nonetheless.

Thanks for the update, I'll take a look in game at the weekend. Knowing my game they won't have any in stock. How's the stock on the water traps going?

Was out yesterday, saw a lot of Chaos traps, mostly in GAME, and I also went into a ToysRUs and was told that their system says that the Light and Dark Expansions are now discontinued within their store, and that they wont be getting any more back.

Which is great for me since I still have neither...

I finally gave in and bought the Light and dark sets from eBay.

Both Trap Masters and Expansion pieces (without traps) for £50.

So I just bought a light and a dark trap from GAME, so it cost me just over £60 for the full lot.

Not too far off what they were selling it for in a lot of places anyways.

So how much you all betting that tomorrow it becomes available in every single store and they have an excess of stock. (My luck).

Huge thanks for this. Managed to add another 11 landers to my collection from giants and swap force. For reference the milton keynes branch was pretty much down to the zap/hot dog pack (they had tons) and a handful of the giants. Decent stock of swap force though at £5 for the cores and hoot loop and £8 for triples and adventure packs.

Looks like the Nitro series has been handed over to Toys R Us in the UK now, last year it was Tesco, then Asda at Trap Team launch, now Toys R Us, are the nitro series actually selling cause no one seems to want them. Here's a link that states its exclusivity. http://www.toysrus.co.uk/browse/product/skylanders

Also, yet again 3 4 2 on skylanders figures. Has this turned into a monthly thing?
Toys R Us 3 for 2 - http://www.toysrus.co.uk/index...fh_view_size=10

Don't know if anyone has noticed, but every time in the uk after a 3 for 2 sale, we end up getting new skylanders as soon as the sale ends. However this sale appears to last all the way til 19th April 2015 (WOW a 1 month sale!!!), So it may be quite a wait till the rest of wave 4 but this is just a guess based on previous waves of course.

EDIT: I'd suspect other stores will start the 3 for 2 sale within the next 2 or 3 days.
EDIT: Just posted on hukd, link -http://www.hotukdeals.com/deal...masters-2170754
Also Toys R Us will likely be starting there yearly £10voucher for every £40 spent in store or online very soon, here is a link to ones in the past. With my birthday on 1st April, this works out nicely, 3 for 2 on skylanders and might end up with an extra £10 - £20 for free smilie
Link - Last year 2014- http://www.hotukdeals.com/deal...biesrus-1870123
Link - 2 Years ago -2013 - https://www.facebook.com/hotuk...231792866965076
Judging by the dates of the two deals, in each year, expect it to start in in about a week. Might be better to wait til it starts and save some more.

Just been to TRU after work and YES! Wave 4 cores have landed!!!! and yes they are on the 3 for 2. Also had some Kaos traps in if you are still looking for one and picked up an upside down dark trap too.

They didn't have huge amounts of stock, only two Echos which I know are short packed anyway and about 4 each of the others.

Oh forgot to mention. Didn't see any easter variants or the new triple trap packs.

Ohh happy birthday for next week. smilie The 3 for 2 was a very nice surprise. I expected it to go on for Easter but expected to have to pick up the new cores before it went on. So picked up all four new ones and bat spin and high five for good measure. I have quite a few older cores I haven't got yet so I'll pick those up after pay day hopefully.
Ohh I wonder if that means I can claim first person in the UK to get them haha
