... I'm thinking of asking Mum for Double Trouble for Easter or maybe for my birthday which is soon.....

i've got an extra double trouble. pm me your address and i'll pop him in the post as an early birthday present for you

This is exactly why I love this forum. Everyone helping each other and in this case being extremely generous!

Woah...that's extremely generous...I'm not sure I can accept such a gesture :s

but it's your birthday, is there ever a better time to accept a gift?

Hey,

Asda have a few different skylanders in stock: http://direct.asda.com/Skyland...default,pd.html

How come you have a spare? Is it in packet/still with barcode and sticker?

yes it is still in the single pack unopened. top part of the card got slighly squashed in teh post though.

how come i have a spare ... i forgot to cancel my hmv pre-order DOH!

So I went to Currys today... One triple pack - Zap, Hex, Dino Rang

HMV had one single Chop-Chop

Tesco had none

So not a good day today for 'landers...

Went to Portsmouth Gunwharf Quay yesterday, went to HMV they had 9/10X Chop Chop's and 5X Flameslinger's

ok guys tried my local Asda and Tesco yestaday. Asda had two triple packs left a wrecking ball tripple pack and a double trouble triple pack. Tesco had quite a few yestaday though they had a few singles such as flameslinger, drill serg, bash etc around three of each adventure packs and to my surprise once again they had two lighting rod triple packs which was nice to see. However still no camo etc anyone know when we are actually getting those here in the UK?

We probably wont be getting them for another month or so.

Dragon's Peak is STILL not out here, and that has to come before we even see any sign of wave 5. Not to mention theres bound to be at least a week between that coming out and wave 5.
Either way, I don't expect to see them until the end of the month at least.

Aw that sucks i was hoping i may pop in to a store this week and find camo etc, but arnt lighting rod and zook part of wave 5 i though?

Ligntining Rod and Zook are wave 4 (as Dragon's Peak is supposed to be..............)

Zook/Lightning Rod are Wave 4, along with Sunburn and the re-release of Drill Sergeant and Whirlwind.

I hope to hear about Dragon's Peak soon, then I'll make a trip to a Toys R Us if my US contact hasn't managed to obtain one for me.

Ahh ok sorry feel a bit of an idot not knowing that lol aw well looks like ive got a bit of a wait then intil i can get my final four although i really want Warnado hes the one am most looking forward to

It's ok, don't feel bad. It's all very arbitrary as to who is in which wave. Wave 3 and 4 hit our shores within a month of each other so *fingers crossed* we might be seeing 5 in the next month...

does anyone have a rough idea of when waves 4 and 5 come out? I've got all skylanders released up to wave 3 except stump smash, not including ignitor in 3ds starter pack, so I can't wait until both waves come out, because 5 of my dreamteam favourites still need to be released!!!

Cynder is out in the UK already and has been about a month. She can be tough to get hold of because she's pretty popular but I've seen her in Smyths quite often. Wave 4 is also out here... all except the one you want... sadly has yet to even have a release date.

anyone know whats happening with legendarys? are they going to be easily available now i am arguing with myself whether to get them now or wait? i only want them now if they are gonna become rare again

really? I haven't seen any // packs yet, which is what i'm looking for. I phoned my local tru the other day and they said they're getting deliveries of them a bit more often, which is quite handy. but I still need dragon's peak to complete my hats, scrolls, treasures and soul gems, as well as sunburn, of course

When I visited my local tru the other day, all they had was legendaries, even trigger happy, which I see as a good sign towards wave 4 being available soon. I've ordered ,// and from amazon, but I often check tru in case I can get any of them earlier

I don't know how true it is but I've heard several times recently that the Legendary triple's TRU exclusivity is ending and it should be appearing in other shops soon. I have no idea if this is true but I have heard it from several sources.

I have yet to see that triple myself either... but Zook and Lightning Rod singles are wave 4 and have been sighted in the UK by quite a lot of people here. Cynder is wave 3 in her single.

thank you for that very useful info, I'm determined to get them, whether it's as the three singles, or as a triple, but there's always the aforementioned amazon order. About the sightings - were many (if any) of them in surrey?

Not sure... just had a quick look and it seems people have got that triple in this country both online and in shops. I've been keeping a vague eye out for that one because if I find it in PC World/Curry's I'll buy it, despite having Cynder already, because their triples are £16.99. That's where I found my // triple.

ok, but thanks anyway, I might go to tru tomorrow to see what they've got. after I've been, I'll get back on here and let you know of any findings and/or information

Yah am from the UK and I've managed 2 find the zook triple pack in my local Tesco so u guys may want 2 try them if u get the chance.

I've seen the Cynder triple in TRU Collier's Wood once, but only that one time. Wave 4 is still quite rare here, at least I've only seen it in stock once at TRU and ONE Zook in HMV in the last 2 weeks.

If you want a single of her, and willing to pay a bit extra, I've seen HMV with LOADS of her. Brought one of my two from HMV when they were still 7.99, and was tempted by a broken wing one last week (but 9.99 with no room in my bag to keep her MIB?? Decided someone else could have her)

I got a spare cynda as I brought her as a single b 4 I got her again in the zook triple pack. The only thing is am not sure if I want 2 part with her incase I want to try her different paths.

Odd question but could anyone tell me exactly when the Zap/Hex/Dino-Rang triple came out in the UK? I'm pretty sure it was either Dec/11 or Jan/12 but I would like some confirmation (sources would be extremely useful but not neccessary). Thanks

Amazon is saying Release Date: 19 Dec 2011

I'm checking more places for you though!


Reviews for it on TRU date back to December 2011

Excellent, thanks I saw it was out in Dec in the US but wasn't sure about here.

^Still nothing about DP/the other new figures?

I've not seen anything online... :/

ACTI! JUST RELEASE THEM SO WE'RE DONE ALREADY!

Off Topic: Love the new avatar Lizzie!

Going to order the Lightning Rod/Cynder/Zook Triple Pack off Amazon tonight, so excited! Also, on Friday going to get a new phone at Tesco's Durrington but will check for Skylanders too while there. My friend (who got Skylanders for christmas, only opened it last month) went there the other day and got Empire of Ice, Eruptor/Chop Chop/Bash Triple Pack and Whirlwind Single there, and he still has £50 to spend on Skylanders (he said Skylanders, not gunna spend it on anything else).

Off Topic: Love the new avatar Lizzie!

I was watching Mythbusters recently, and I saw that picture and I thought it would make a cool avatar And it's properly unique, so it will be different and mine. And full of explosions and awesomeness without actually having any explosions.

And, thank you

Phoned local tru earlier, only had legendaries though They're getting a truck on wednesday, but don't know whether any skylanders will come with it. I'll just have to check then

Went to Springfields(Spalding) GAME, nothing apart from the one starter pack

Morrisons - Didn't see any, but didn't purposefully hunt them down

Have Game still been getting Skylanders i kind of give up with them after they went into administration. Saying that though now they seem to be getting back on there feet, I may have to start trying them again.

Well, they've started to get new releases in again, and I was in there anyway just to see what they had

Game will not be getting ANY Activision products from now on. Because of their poor sales (and piss poor service) Game has been basically refused a lot of games from gaming companies. While some like Nintendo have stopped giving them some games, Activision has sworn off them completely. I'd find the article, but I really cannot be bothered...

Do u not like Game then lol I thought the only reason Activision didnt want to supply Game anymore was because of there money problems. However, now that they have been brought out of administration I assuming Activison as wel as the other will start resupplying them soon.

It's terrible.... You can sell your brand new, never before played game that came out last week for about 10 quid, then see it on the shelves for 2 pound less than what you bought it for.
And maybe, but unlikely, seeing as how bad they were with Skylanders before. All my local games have completely taken down all Activision game advertising. Even the bountiful Skylanders starter pack that didn't sell since the game's release are off the shelves with no sign of restock.

No, no, no... That's not how it's working now...

Since the GAME stores have been bought out by OpCapita, the stock thing will now shift over to how Comet used to do it before they stopped selling games in their stores(And you can probably guess why )...

So now, they shall start getting games again, but it may take a little while for them to actually start making a huge impact again

"The guys here have been working round the clock organising stock and we have lots of lorries arriving soon!"

So from that tweet of theirs, I would think that they are getting more games

Yah this is what i thought was happening. So surely if there starting to get new games in then, maybe just maybe they may start getting Skylanders in

good luck with that. Mine still has not dispatched and I have been waiting since feb 6th......

Get it from Shopto.net. Got it 2 days after ordering it. Amazon is useless for skylanders.

I was in TRU in Warrington today, and they had lots of Legendary 3packs, and single Trigger Happy figures.

I was under the impression games publishers, such as Activision, weren't supporting Game purely on the basis that they could not meet the price they demanded for their stock.

With new owners who have more money... I expect they're going to be able to give new offers to games publishers that are far more favourable.
I personally don't expect them to get any more Skylanders in stock any time soon however. Certainly not new waves.
