^My Gamestation stores have regularly had in a few Zap, Hex, Boomer, Dino-Rang, Eruptor and Wrecking Ball figures over the last two weeks. Money is a bit tight this week after paying off the final deposit on our new house, but come the week after I don't mind doing pick ups as long as I get paid what I paid plus an extra say £3 or so for bog standard postage (which is probably cheaper if you want the figure out of the box).

Oh, sure. You have money for a house but not Skylanders? Get your priorities straight!

A house JUST to store Skylanders, is that not the right priority?

Whereabouts are you in UK?

Smack bang in the middle of Eltham and Lewisham AKA South East London area.

I ring the Old Kent Road TRU as I can get close to there on a bus and have a 20 minute walk. I also ring the Collier's Wood TRU branch as they are more convenient to get to, but are a 2 hour train and tube ride away.

I regularly pop into the both the Eltham and Lewisham Gamestations for figures. I gave up going into Lewisham Game as the manager went on a rant last time about Nintendo not sending him enough Skylanders figures (anyone spot the error in that quote?).

Nintendo? seriously where do staff in these places get thier information from

I feel exactly the same way. Wherever I go to, they are always out of stock and/or awaiting new stock to arrive very soon, although that second thing is often fictional. A while back the manager of a Game store quite a long way away from my house, while I was there told me they would be getting new stock in today. I had gone all that way after hearing rumours they actually had Wave Three in stock there. However, it was, quite obviously, a lie. Anyway, so the manager of the store told me they would definitely be getting in Wave Three today, so, today I went down there, pretty eagerly, as I have not been able to get hold of any Wave Three Skylanders, only to be told they were arriving on an 'unconfirmed date'!

So, to put it shortly, no, I have not, unfortunately, got hold of any Skylanders at all.

Tesco seems to have absolutely nothing here at all now. I'll be looking in town tomorrow, and I'm going to Exeter on Saturday so will look then!

Is there anyway that Outerdragon can change the thread name to "The UK Skylanders Hunters Thread" or something like that? I dunno if it's possible, but this does seem to be the thread for us non-Americans

That'd be nice, but seeing as we've spoken to TRU managers and members of staff over the last few weeks who know nothing of new figurines, I don't know if we can trust this source.

Thanks anyway, though.

TRU main delivery day (my branch anyway) is friday. next friday is 3rd february which also ties in with the release date on amazon.co.uk of empire of ice ... coincidence? maybe/maybe not

Apparently the new release is 17th Feb, for the UK. I've asked for a source, plus where this guy has preordered figures from, so waiting for that

Edit: Wait, he ordered them off eBay

quite a few ebay sellers are listing taking pre-orders for delivery around 17th february. my guess is that the sellers have pre-ordered from amazon germany as that was the original date that was listed on the amazon germany site (dates have since been removed)

So we still don't have a proper release date yet?

Whatever, I'm still going to have a look tomorrow

HMV allows the public to order a box of singles, wait what?!

Do HMV charge on delivery or when you place an order? Freaking tempted to place an order from them...

Any, been to town. Game, Gamestation, HMV in town centre - nothing.

Pc World further out - nothing

ASDA nearish PC World - shelf of series 2 figures behind entertainment desk. I think I weirded the assistant out when I strolled up to the desk, and leaned as far as I could over it to see what they had

I don't know, but you could always make an account and see how far you get before they ask for your credit card details.

They don't charge on delivery u have to put your card details in just checked

Quote: outerdragon

No no, they ask for your card details so that they can charge you when they deliver - usually the day or so before the actual release date.

I've ordered from them before, so have an account there, and that's what they did before.

Lol ah right sorry m8 I thought u ment u didn't have to pay by card. Anyways I got mine per-ordered now 2 can't wait btw guys check your nearest branch of Game as mine had a delivery in mostly the old ones but I still needed bash which I managed to get hold of so give them a try.

Debating whether to cancel my order and add another figure and make a new one... Not sure whether it's worth picking up two Cynder's(partially for collection, partially cause I like her design) and going down both upgrade paths(something I would want to do with at least one figure...)

Any thoughts?

Surely it wouldn't matter if you placed one order or two as it's free shipping? Do also bear in mind that Cynder will be in a triple pack with Lightening Rod and Zook (according to the magic list of listness) in the future

Yah like buzz said it shouldn't really make a difference m8 it's free shipping

Just made some calls to my local stores (I live in Barnstaple, North Devon).

My local GAME got a small shipment of Wave 1 figs this morning, but two had already been sold at the time I called, which was at about 3:00 pm. The guy said they might get even more stock tommorow if I call back at a similar time.

My local Gamestation we're first saying they'd get new stock in this week, but now they're saying they won't get any more stock until half way through next week at the earliest.

Yah it kind of seems like they are making it up as they go along lol though to b fair my Game actually had some in today, although they serverd most of them to the sod in front seriously he had some doubles as wel. Now u would think staff there may think somthing fishy is going on but they servered him the whole lot and i needed the one as wel

So get this: when i got my skylanders game they were fully in stock but an week later they ran out.

Sorry for slow reply, been busy lately, My store is Tesco Ricoh, Coventry

Went into Game today, they had a shelf of Wave 1 figures. Gamestation had none

I'll be ringing the Old Kent Road TRU in a few minutes, but just saw this on the TRU site:

It's no Wave 3, but at least my Legendaries are coming to me!

Lucky? This is Lincolnshire, county of the... farms? Though, I guess it's good that there aren't loads of people buying out these figures

Closest store is Lincoln(30), then Peterborough(32), then Nottingham at a whopping 52 miles. All three are great cities, just the distance... So unless my dad decides to take us up to Lincoln again... And then it's getting him to come to Toys R Us as well

OH lol, closest with stock is 64 miles Chesterfield
