A few things since my last visit to the site:
1. Wave 4 has been discontinued. Confirmed by Smyths Store Clerk and Toys R Us confirmed they don't have Spotlight or Blackout on their machines no more. The only place left with thesd are Argos, I'd advise ordering ASAP -http://www.argos.co.uk/static/...ber/3765988.htm http://www.argos.co.uk/static/...ber/3596188.htm
2. Dark an Light expansions? Also the Smyths store clerk said they wouldn't be gettin these ever again. But then again, since when do they know what they may or may not get in future.

Just like to say a final farewell as this will be my final visit to the site. I'll post in guestbook where else in social media you can find me. Thanks for the support and good times!

If this is true....I had no chance to get them hell i dont even think the W4 minis got a restock....at this rate I may not even get sky 5 due to how this is being, so many problems with figures this year it really is starting to put me off the franchise.

Edit: Just bought the last 4 mini double packs from the US....shouldnt have to be doing this but if thats how they want to do things then I will not be supporting the franchise for much longer

Can I ask which site in the US you bought them from?

Trying to find a site who ships to the UK

I also asked in Smyths today about the Dark and Light expansions and he said they were still showing on their system as tbc 2015

Amazon.com they have them in stock for 13/14 dollars each....costs £59.58 or so total for them if you buy them all at once and that covers the importing costs and such too...not happy about having to do it this way but so be it

I'm finally back after a month or so as there was no news. Saw wave 4 a few weeks ago but they're no longer there. The Nightmare Express and wave 1 triple packs are now £15 at Tesco in store. Are the Easter minis still available at Smyths? Also, are there any other places that I can get a bargain on some trap team skylanders? Thanks.

Kaos traps at TRU? Who cares TTD?! Carla has quit Corrie!!!

smilie srsly tho, it's good that they're at least making an effort to produce more. Rather than the Amiibo debacle where the 10 of each character they made will suffice.

Yeah, I feel sorry for people that payed £30 for one on ebay. However, the price of traps seems to be creeping up a bit.

Are the Easter variants still available at Smyths? I saw the Easter trap at Grainger Games yesterday but decided to wait for my trip to Smyths today. Hopefully I'll find them.

I think that retailers here are seeing lessening interest in the franchise, and are buying less stock. Why else would everything be so hard to find here? The Anericans (making assumptions here based on posts in other topics) seem to be having a bit more trouble than with previous games in the series, but not markedly as much hassle as we seem to be.

Could always be worse - there are those of us here on darkSpyro who are finding it impossible to find anything in their country eg: Australia

I think that the reason for retailers buying less stock could be just down to the amount of competition that skylanders is getting. Think of it, a retailer (excluding toysrus) can only have a certain amount of space dedicated to toys to life games.
Angry Rage Quit Yellow Sparx Gems: 1512
#1865 Posted: 16:43:52 04/05/2015
Hadn't considered that actually... Though I still think sales have certainly less than they anticipated. Reason being because I can still find loads of wave 1 traps/figures near me, but finding say, a wave 3 is like striking gold. Either they have lots of stock of those, or they're not moving well.
I dunno I've never worked in retail. That's what my limited retail knowledge leads me to believe.

Back on point though, it's nice to see you can still find one of the most sought after game pieces and that they're making efforts to produce more. Who doesn't want to play as Skylands most malign despot after all?! "Cower as I take to the air!!!" smilie

The US date is today I think so next couple of weeks maybe?

Went to brent cross today...the toys r us there the wall is almost empty...devoid of most skylanders....their click and collect service said legendary bushwhack was in stock....and considering its a legendary which are usually mass produced and can stay around for a good few months after the new game has come out really was surprised to see so little there....all they had really of wave 4 was the trap triple packs wth the kaos trap, and the single kaos traps themselves...

She was Smyths exclusive at launch for a limited time and sold out pretty fast. She was also falsely advertised as a pre order bonus, which upset a lot of fans when she wasn't included.

Nice to see that we are being treated better than in previous years - where we had to wait 2-3 months for a wave to release here.

I remember the outrage on this topic, it was tough to get her for free in store - I had to open an email and show them the email that I got from smyths customer services just to get her.

Got the Skylanders Universe magazine today for my son.

Special Edition Gnarly Barkley coming to Argos and Earth Trap with Red Hot Tussle Sprout pre-loaded to Tesco

Would have preferred a different trap than Earth after the Easter exclusive being Earth as well

Got Dark and Light expansions for a ridiculous price, had to import from America and ended up paying double the original amount due to taxes...Where would my best be to buy Trap Team figures? I have over half of them but I'm mostly missing Trap Masters and Minis. I tried Argos, Smyths, Gamestop, HMV and CeX, which CeX being the only place that even stocks some of the guys I'm looking for. I do try Toys R Us from time to time, but are there places other than Amazon and Ebay that sell skylanders stock online?

Do you only want to buy online?
Ebay is an option If you are prepared to buy used. I got Head Rush for less than £10 last week.

My local Tesco also has most of the early Trap Masters in so worth a look if you have a large store nearby.

Buying online would be a last alternative for me. I'd love to try and get them in stores, but there's very few places here that sell them. I was in Tescos the other day, in a very large store, but didn't even see the whisper of any Skylanders stuff. Where are they usually kept? Near the toys isle or the dvd/video game stuff? Because they weren't with the latter.

Next Skylanders series I'm gonna bite the bullet and buy the stuff I want from each wave as they get released.

It tends to be the Tesco Extra stores that stock them, around the computer game section or on the end of an aisle.
Thanks for the heads up guys, will pick a trap up tomorrow! Getting very frustrated with the lack of Enigma though.

Enigma on Amazon.fr shows a release date of June 10 so that might be an indication of when we can expect a wider release.

Still not located Red Hot Tussel Sprout....tried 4 stores now.
