FYI I called TRU Exeter today and spoke to Roland (the resident "expert").

- Blue Bash is to be released nationwide in TRU stores on Wednesday (2nd of May).
- Dragons Peak, Camo and Warnado have apparently arrived at the national TRU warehouse and is making its way to stores in the next 7-10 days.
- Wham Shell is still listed as September.

I'm sure that Wham Shell is just a placeholder date but yay for the other stuff, assuming it's true :3 Roland sometimes gives me funny info...

But Blue Bash is a definite so I'ma go on Wednesday.

Edit: Also I would like to point out that the type of "hook" that the packaging has does not determine its region, as I have had different hook styles for my UK figurines. The giveaway is the little blue tab that's on every US Skylanders box that isn't on the UK ones. The US ones also have a white "6+" in the corner.

Can't tell if Gnorc's one is US or not because that Sonic figurine is in the way

Ah I see! Sorry for not noticing xD

Nice to see more solid release dates coming out!

Hopefully TRU online can get DP listed soon, so I can get an order in. I don't mind paying the £5 extra shipping for it, and I just know Amazon is going to take ages to get the order dispatched.


Different news, but I managed to get into HMV Oxford Street

I will say if anyone is still missing wave 4 and has access to that store... go. Or Drill Sarge, Hex, Chop Chop, Bash, Wrecking Ball, Drobot, Stealth Elf... and maybe a couple more I forget exactly what ones.

Because they were SERIOUSLY overstocked. Three whole sections just FULL of Skylanders.

Although i'll have to save my money after i've bought MineCraft.

2nd May for BB, manager told me they have a 'reasonable amount' and will not be limited

DP camo and warnado in the next week or two

HMV and ASDA Boston both had LOADS of 'Landers

ChopChop, Bash, Stealth Elf, Cynder, Double Trouble, Zook, Prism Break... Wave 3 and 4, that kind of thing mainly

And Gamestation had some new starter packs in, so this is a good thing

Why are my dayssssssss.....being spent in sssssss....chool!

Hissssssssss.........BOOM

Oh and Toys R Us Cribbs Causeway had many Legendary triples, and 2 legendary Trigger Happy. Loads of Cynder, chop chop, whirlwind, double trouble, drill sarg, and hex triple packs.

Checked out Smyths and they had LOADS of Hex triple, and Zap single.

HMV cribs had couple prism break triple, loads of singles including L-Rod, Zook, and Ignitor.


Many places also had the Spyro 3DS stylus for £7.99.....no gill grunt or chop chop

As of today, my local Game (Edinburgh Gyle) is practically swimming in Bash, Wrecking Ball, Dino-Rang and Zap, if anyone up here is still looking for them. HMV had a few characters as well.

does anyone know if Camo and Warnado are over here yet as eBay seems to be flooded with them at the moment?

The only ones found here turned out to be imports. No news on actual European Camo and Warnado yet.

I rang TRU Old Kent Road today, the conversation with Multimedia dude went like this:

Me: Do you know when Dragon's Peak will be in?
Dude: I don't know, but it should be part of Season 3 due out in August-September, but at the end of this month I will have a 100% release date. Season 2 was Empire of Ice, Darklight Crypt and Pirate Seas.

Me: Do you know when you will have the Blue Bash
Dude: Later this week, could be Friday I think, but I have some boxes in the back
Me: Would you mind checking them as I have you on the line?
Dude: Sure
*I go on hold and listen to music for a minute or two*
Dude: I've got Blue Bash in the back due for release tomorrow


Wow I had to beat the information out of this guy, but at least he did check his product for me. I can't get over the whole Dragon's Peak due in August/September, WTF was with that date?!

There is a new TRU catalogue due out on Friday so maybe that's why some staff might have funny dates in their heads. Maybe??!

lol. At least he was good enough to find out about blue bash. Most staff just make things up as he did earlier with the dates.

You're lucky enough to be able to get it. TRU UK website has nothing and nothing updated with blue bash or DP.

Not sure if Tescos imports or not, but my aunt's managed to find a few Camo and Warnado figures at one that she visited today. If I knew which one, I'd tell you - it could be Inverness or Belfast or anywhere inbetween. :/

Don't look now, but..... Tesco have camo and warnado online!

Thanks! Ordered! I just hope it won't turn up in 3 months time or some hocus pocus like that. xD I dont know if to order Warnado though... hmm. Bit strange as Dragons Peak isnt seen yet! I went to my local TRU and the manager said they were not expecting Dragons peak until late May :/ Thats a bummer!

WHERE, I CANT SEE THEM!

http://www.tescoentertainment....A0000%3A%7C%7C0 I thought they were on Tesco Direct but they are in the entertainment section xD

they've been on there since last night

Just ordered Warnado and camo from tesco online thanks.

Found Warnado (last one) and Camo (last but one) in Tesco tonight. They had a big Skylanders display with lots of individual figures - those were the only two that didn't have a pricetag - they were where Chop Chop and (I think) Dino-Rang should have been. I think I gasped louder than my son did when we saw them!

^Judging by that, I think this may acctually be legit, and not a wait three month thing. Fingers crossed.

A games journo friend of mine found Warnado and Camo in Tesco. Who knows maybe Dragons Peak will be in TRU when I visit this morning lol

Dragon's peak on there too. A little overprised, but..

Has anybody noticed camo warnado and wham shell are on amazon.co.uk

^Link please, cause I can't see them

On some you have to look at other buying options

Whoa, 9.99? Awww, if they had been 7.99 I'd have been interested...

Though why they didn't show up in my results lists, I have no idea :/

Oddly enough, a lot of the other characters are much cheaper on there now, some are at £6.99 or so.

I've got a Wham-Shell on the way from the States. Just got to source a Dragon's Peak, and then I'm done and quite happy to be done until Giants.

Blue Bash now available on TRU UK website £8.99.

No stock limits, so assume plenty of stock.

Thanks!

I want, but am not willing to pay almost as much again for shipping, and it's more expensive still to get to a Toys R Us.

Looks like I'll pass.

Despite the guy from TRU Old Kent Road telling that there was to be a crowd for Blue Bash this morning, I decided to brave it. I've done Pokémon crowds, so this shouldn't be too hard really.

I got two buses and the last one stopped right outside the TRU at 9.05am. The car park had three cars and the shop looked deserted. They couldn't be sold out that fast, could they?

Went inside, had to check in my bag (that also had my 3DS, so no photos of the stand today). Leisurely walked through the empty store and went to the Skylanders stand. There was a staff member (he looked like a manager) on the staff phone. I checked the stand while he was talking.

Plenty of Pirate Seas, Empire of Ice and the odd Darklight Crypt. A single Cynder, two Legendary Trigger Happy (one had the "Skylanders" paper fall on the figure in the pack), two Flameslingers, four Bash, five Drill Sargent, a Whirlwind and someone else I can't remember. There was also a few Boomer, Voodood and Prism Bream triples along with Dino-Rang, Hex and Zap triples .

When the guy was finished his call, I asked him about the missing Blue Bash while mentioning the staff member's name who last night informed me the boxes where there. The guy went off while I rechecked the stand for variants (there was none). The guy then returned with a Blue Bash. I asked for a second and I was led over to the tills. The guy went behind the counter and into the Electronics stock room (that's my guess) and got me another. Apparently. there were loads on a cage, just waiting to go out. I paid, used up my voucher that runs out on Monday and got home.

As pointed out by others, Blue Bash is £8.99, a bit steep I though when I saw the receipt, but I had a voucher and gift card to use, so I'm not too bothered really.

And to finish up, Skylanders of the Giant Cat Element are Stronger in this Zone

Smyths toy store in glasgow have just about every single skylander. Except wave 5. I've never seen so many in one place.

Quite literally 3 walls full of skylanders. Along with a stockroom in the back full to the brim.

What do they have? 3 walls of Boomer?

Nope. 3 walls of all skylanders except wave 5. Cynder, whirlwind, lighting rod, zook. Everything.

Nice to see Blue Bash out as promised, though I'm personally passing as I already have two of him. No point in getting a third that doesn't even look different.

And wave 5 in tesco?? Didn't expect THAT out! Their website says a 23rd release date for Camo and Warnado.

if my tesco has alot if any of wave 5 anyone want me to grab them one for rrp and postage?

If anyone's able to find a Sunburn, I'd be up for that, definitely. Otherwise I'm good, thanks.

I don't think anyone expected that, I went to order those fellas today and found a sneaky "dispatch in 1-2 weeks" hiding in the shopping basket. I'll wait a little longer for the brick and mortars, but at least we know they have reached our shores!

My local Tesco have camo and warnado. Only 2 more to get!

Here's Camo and Warnado, from Tesco Inverness, with the European packaging. And yet, still no sign of Dragon's Peak anywhere. :/


(click for large)

Well, looks like a trip to Tesco is in order then

Maybe next time we need to go shopping for food or something...

My Camo is despatched already from Tesco! DD Dragons peak is a little pricey on there but it would be around the same amount if you ordered it from TRU I guess :/ xD

It looks likes some others stores should have stock, but may be staggering release, to keep interest up maybe!?

Hmmm, free shipping AND they're already dispatching?

I think I might as well order Camo and DP. Might be £5 more to get DP, but I'm hoping it'll dispatch before Amazon. They seem to often be last?
Can't decide on whether I should add Warnado in or not. Think I might wait for him to be more readily available.

TRU Midsomer Norton have 20 Camo and warnado!
