*pats head* There there... Don't worry, just put it this way, by waiting, you have not only saved yourself money, but also stopped it fuelling those who buy purely to resell. I have to say, the wait between ordering my Cyndy's and receiving them felt like the longest couple of months EVER. And now it's waiting for DP's release DX |

I have my Ignitor still on order from Amazon from the 5th but I'm contemplating canceling it and waiting for wave 4 as I hear there's a single pack of him with it

I'm really starting to think I don't want to buy anymore... once my EoI arrives in a few days and my pre-ordered DP gets here (though if I find it in TRU you bet I'm cancelling that Amazon.co.uk one) I might be done until Giants if the thing about the originals not being able to do everything the reposes can do turns out to be true.

Yeah I was never planning to get all of them........ =/ my rule was only ones that I wanted. TBH I'm not even that fussed about Zook and L-Rod but I thought it was cheaper in the long run just to get the triple so I can get Cynder <3. But yeah think I'll go with adventure packs because the extra level content is always good. But I'm not going out my way to get ones I dont like. |

I never planned to get them all but I ended up getting more and more... I think part of the reason the stock has been low is to prompt the sort of impulse buying where you think, "I'd better buy it now incase I never see it again." In that situation you often ignore the fact you didn't really want it that much to begin with.

Oh god.... yeah impulse buying is a real problem because of how hard they are to find @_@.
When I see ones I don't have, I'm so tempted to get them because I don't know if I'll ever see them again. Like how I brought myself Dino-rang last Friday. I think he could be cool, I just don't like how hes designed. But I felt like I had gone such a long way and I had to get SOMETHING. And no way was that something going to be Boomer. I think DP, Camo and MAYBE Warnado are the last ones I'm going to actively try to get. Finish off my dragon collection and then Warnado looks kinda cool. I should probably give my parents a quick birthday list of the 3 adventure packs, aaand one shirt I want from Ta'varen Tees so they can try and get those ASAP. Extra levels are always good, but I don't want to fork over the money for them (And I have no idea how long TTs international shipping times are. If its like Sharkrobot, its 5 weeks. Which is getting close to too late now). But gah, I might find it hard to not pick up an adventure pack if I saw one in shops

I think you probably are u_u
I intended to go for one of each element. Then I wanted to get the dragon for each element on top of that. Then the ones I liked in each element .... Then it just sort of went downhill from there. Edit- I mean... I have two Cynders now. TWO ;A;. (Its not my fault, they made her an awesome figure. Which looks amazing black in my half finished custom paint, aaahh)

I'm the same as you guys too. The intention was just to play the game and get just one of each element. Massive fail with the want for Sunburn, Camo, Warnado, Ignitor and Sonic Boom in my collection although I don't own many. I have a swapping system with my friend and we just get the ones the other doesn't. Works well since he likes his power house kinda characters where I prefer the quicker ones.
Alas he did persuade me to get Drobot and I'm now on the dragon hunt. Wonder what I'll do with them all once I complete the game...

So, I went to HMV today...
I was so surprised at the number of figures they had! 2 of each Adventure pack(excluding DP) and 6 of each Flameslinger, Cynder, Drill Sarge, Whirlwind, ChopChop and Double Trouble. As well as a pile of at least 8 various starter packs Didn't buy anything though, apart from some cheap Pokemon tins |

Sorry for my absence, if anyone missed me that is
![]() ![]() Anywhooo, if anyone is interested Legendary Trigger Happy is available right now on TRU's site. He (LTH) is on his way to stores though. A chat with Wonderful Craig today reveals there is 280 of the gremlin in transit to Collier's Wood. A funny thing arose with the Legendary Triple Pack though, yes it is now in stock online, but stores have been told to discontinue it. Craig said he was going to follow this up with Head Office and I'll report back when I call him next week when he gets in a new delivery. Still no word on Dragon's Peak in UK yet, Craig was able to check the code number (I didn't manage to get it) and nothing showed up on his system. We'll have t wait a little longer! [Off Topic] There was a chatter about how people store their Skylanders going on a few pages back, so not to clog up the thread with my image here is the link, I hope the picture rotates itself for everyone. It is rotated correctly on my Photobucket account, but refuses to when I view the link :/ My 'landers live on a DVD shelf we bought in Ikea almost 2 years ago, that is no longer used for DVDs in this house. Skylanders are organised by type and tiered when space is needed. The tiers are simply cardboard packing from a flat-pack bed. Skylanders with rubbed bands have completed all the current 21 available Heroic Challenges. Items live on the top, that is until I buy another self and fit it in. Some backing cards, Spanish Booklet and Portal all live on the bottom. My niece and nephew are going to love playing with this when they come over to visit! [/off topic] Edit: Just noticed this over on the Smyths site. It states they will have Dragon's Peak next available in March 2012. I was under the assumption that TRU had an exclusive for DP??!

I've not heard about anything for TRU UK having DP exclusive. Not to mention, Zavvi was the first site to get a DP release date of April 6th (Its way more expensive on Zavvi though- don't order it). If thats true, its a bit late for TRU to get an exclusive of it, IMO.

Yeah :/.
I understand lack of supply pushing back release dates, but it would have been nice for Activision to say "Right, wave 1 is when the game is released, wave 2 is *date*, 3 *date*, 4 *date* and 5 *date*" from the start. Instead of us having to grasp at straws and pick up small bits of information for numerous websites in order to have some idea of when they're supposed to come out. Or for them to give actual release dates to online stores, so people aren't preordering and waiting months without even getting a date.

They weren't on the shelf but I asked a completely clueless employee about Dragon's Peak and he came back with a box with them both in plus Stealth Elf and some others I've already got. Good couple of days hunting for me.
