^Yeah, that's what I'm planning on Will need to find myself a couple of hours to just play with her and get her levelled up and cashed up

I think if I get the Lightning Rod/Cynder/Zook triple I may start a new game and just use them (well I might use my others to unlock gates but nothing else) it will be interesting how the game would play with different "starters".

Legendry Trigger Happy on sale tomorrow at Cov TRU, check yours, they had them tonight, got to touch one but not allowed to buy it until tomorrow

I know it's a more costly way but I'm not buying triples and waiting to buy the level packs when there more widely available. I'm doing a bit of team work with a friend and getting ones he doesn't and vice versa so I've got my collection to 17 just doing that. That way I don't need to own crappy characters like Wrecking Ball and Hex to complete my collection

^I kinda do that with my neighbour, we have changed ownership on a few characters to unlock all the heroics available between us... unfortunately we intend to get mostly the same ones... but it has meant I won't ever have to buy Chop Chop, Stump Smash or Wrecking Ball

Though I don't agree with you that Hex is crappy... if you use her orb attack (in story mode) she's actually pretty good imo... the skull rain can be annoying to set up though so if it's that your opinion is based off then I kinda understand your point (though I've heard good things about it when used in pvp). Also I know her design isn't for everyone and while some people will disagree with me that is a valid reason to dislike a Skylander, although you may miss out on some fun if you never try one you think looks lame. But at the end of the day they are also figurines so if you really don't like the look then why would you want to spend money buying something you will need to give house-room to?

Anyway that's not the reason I popped into this thread today: My EoI from Play.com is listed as "Processing in warehouse" so hopefully it will be dispatched today

Wave 4 is still showing as "Usually dispatched within 10 days." though.

I'm really struggling to resist ordering the LR/C/Z triple though... I want it but I'm trying to resist spending money right now... and especially now I've heard this:

Quote: Skylanders Giant Full Details Uncovered

The figures from Skylanders: Spyro's Adventures can also be used in the new game, and will bring with them all their upgrades, levelling up and hats. It currently seems that they will not be able to be levelled up higher in the new game.

It makes buying anything other than adventure packs kinda pointless for me now

Empire of Ice in stock for those of you who are looking - get to it quick!

Went to TrU in Manchester today looking for Legendary Trigger Happy. As well as picking one up for me and a friend, I got VERY lucky and found a gold drill sergeant in amongst the single packs! RESULT!

Wow nice! I wish I was so lucky... but then I don't really deserve a gold Skylander because I think they're terrible (seriously... very lazy paint job) so if I had one I would sell it... but good for you, I hope you enjoy it

I'm giving it to my little boy for his 4th birthday next month. Can't wait to see his face as he loves skylanders!

Wow, those prices are terrible! I saw a video where figures were £7.49 each. That's almost $12 CAD! And I thought the stores selling for $9.99 were a rip off.

Everything in the UK is more expensive than in the US especially electronics. Often if it's $100 it will be £100 ($160 near as makes no difference) and it was even worse when £1 was nearly $2... because everything was nearly twice the price as the US then.

And actually some places sell Skylanders for £9.99 ($15.85) for singles (Amazon.co.uk being one place... but there are others). £7.49 is the cheapest you can get Skylander singles these days... (nearly everywhere has gone up to £7.99 or higher).

Edit: Oh I just realised, you're Canadian, I apologise profusely for the insult I was using US prices there... but it's still almost the same.

The EOI from ShopTo.net arrived today. Can't have it until Easter, but very speedy delivery. ShopTo have been quite good for me. I am very pleased-I've been looking for about a month now for that EOI. Slam Bam looks awesome too.

Wish I'd not cancelled mine now... they said 13th of April so I was sure Play.com's would come sooner...

Oh well my Play.com order is "Processing in warehouse" so it really should only be 2 or 3 days now... And it's cheaper from Play.com anyway.

TOYS R US websiteHAVE L-TRIGGZ IN STOCK, I JUST GOT MINE!!

Wow what a day! So I misread Argos website the other day, they didnt have any I was looking at 'yes for home delivery'. So anyway I went to Argos just to have a browse and decided to check anyway and they did indeed have single figures and adventure pack (only pirate was in the catalogue) so I thought I would treat myself to the Pirate Seas pack. When I got to the counter they offered me a choice of Pirate Seas, Darklight Crypt, and Empire of Ice! But I stuck to the Pirate one. The guy at the counter asked if I had all of them and I said nah only 16, and that I wasnt interested in getting all 37. He didnt believe me lol.

So then I went to HMV...(sorry for blurry quality)



OMG NO WAY!!!!!!!!!! I was approached asking if I needed help to which I replied 'I'm just admiring your Skylanders display' to which he replied 'yeah that we actually have them right?' then I was asked to move out the way so they could take a picture to send their regional manager lol. Not to my suprise they had singles for £9.99......as much as I love Cynder and it pains me to wait for the triple pack I ordered. Nah thanks.

^Nice to see some shops still have proper displays. My HMV is a sad affair. Three starter packs stacked on top of each other, and occasionally two of those hangers with one or two figures on

O.O

The amount of times I could have checked Argos for adventure packs but didn't because I already had Pirate Seas...

I suppose I should have known... Pirate Seas doesn't actually come in a box of just Pirate Seas anymore... Why I didn't think to check I don't know...

My nearest HMV has no figures on display, then we asked, still none. I only got lucky once when a staff member from a HMV in Brighton (not my local one) was walking through after taking some from a scalper, 2 Eruptors and 2 Boomers, and i bought Eruptor.

Honestly I thought HMV and Argos would have nothing, always pays to check!

Did your Argos have Skylanders on display, or did you buy based on luck on what Skylander Pack you got?

Based on luck

OK, that's why I don't usually get Skylanders from Argos. I either order Skylanders from their own page online, or check Broadwater, my local shopping centre.

^You can ask for a customer viewing at Argos, and they will get down all the different ones they have, so you can pick and choose if you want any

I noticed you said "if", so does that mean once you view you don't have to buy?

You can always ask Argos to check what's in stock before you buy them, that's what I do...

Last time I went in checking for singles and they had 2 Eruptors... I didn't want him so I didn't buy one.

Yeah, of course! That's what it means, that's the whole point of it. You see what they have, decide if you want it or not. Asking for a customer viewing doesn't tie you down into anything

Deandria - That's known as a customer viewing - where you ask to see what they have. Which is why it's a good idea to reserve the stock beforehand, as you're not tied into buying it(unless you pay beforehand), and they keep everything until you go in and decide "Yeah I want it" or "Nah, I'll leave it"

You have just made my life much easier good citizen, i thank you...with smilies

Looks like I got beaten to saying L-TH was on TRU XD.

I find it kinda funny how we have L-TH before the triple pack which is /finally/ being released tomorrow.


DP also has an image on Amazon, last of wave 4 to get one @_@. Also their single pack prize went down! ..... £9.55 instead of £9.99.

Even better, the Argos Extra is right up my road!

Oh damn
Just seen the price of the Cynder/Lighting Rod/Zook Triple Pack on amazon.

No problem... Many people don't realise they can take advantage of the system like that

And it helps you guys get Skylanders, so it's all for a good cause

Oh ****

Thats because its being sold by a scalper.
If its more expensive than £19.99, its a scalper and not coming from Amazon themselves.
If singles are more expensive than £9.99- scalper. If they are CHEAPER than £9.99.... also a scalper. The cheaper ones tack on at least £4 shipping @_@

Yeah I know, when I started typing that post you hadn't posted yet (I got distracted half way through by my baby... this often happens).

What triple pack? The wave 4 triple pack?

Phew...just realised that Amazon IS selling it for £19.99 and Free Shipping to UK, but someone called davdgamingDIRECT is selling it for £34.99, phew...still possible to get my present, yay!

The legendary triple pack, lol. Its supposed to be released tomorrow, and suddenly L-TH makes its way onto TRU as a non-preorder the day beforehand.
I found it quite funny.

Be wary looking at Amazon prices. That price is from a shop that has obviously imported. You can still preorder from amazon for £19.99.

Oooooh Legendary TH.....want

The legendary triple has already come out? I bought it when the game was released.....

Really?
Didn't know that , didn't have the game upon its release. All I know was TRU had preorders for it with it being released tomorrow.

I'm still wondering...why Dark52 hasn't made this forum sticky!

Maybe it was preorder for when more stock came in. I got it the Monday after it came out in a TRU in Bristol.

I still don't have the legendary pack D: i thought I was going to get it, but it's looking unlikely

I don't have it either

I don't really want it tbh. I don't think they look that great and by all accounts the stat increase is so slight that it makes very little difference... also for some reason they're £22.99 on TRUs website now... why is that? None of their other triples have increased in price...

Weird, i mean, i know they're limited stock, but i don't really care if they come pre-loaded with cash and levels.

It was, but they took it off the market for a couple of months and re-released it with the demand.

I got my Legendary Trigger Happy today! I'm happy to see it on the TRU site, but I got it for the same price importing it from the US, so not a problem to me!

Also, it looks like Eruptor is the new Boomer. Since I posted about the Skylanders at my local Tesco, I went back there today. Discounting the triple packs, there were two Bash figures left, one Sonic Boom, and about 15 or more Eruptors!

I have never seen a single pack Boomer (not that I'd want one). I think it's because I only came to the game in January when I got it for my birthday from my brother...
