its amazing how they get away with it

Quote: Ash64

Game.co.uk is out of stock again, was it a mistake or did they really have some in stock when I ordered? They already took my money and sent me a acknowledgement email? Who else managed to order them?

Game's website is now saying "Release date TBD" for Thumpback and Eyebrawl.

Either they got very limited stock which sold out (very possible) or someone cocked up the dates.

Also forgot to mention, The In Thing are now listing the Scorpion Battle Pack as coming soon. Case breakdown is a very nice 5x Scorpion, 1x Cannon

UK release for the Giants is another 3-4 weeks away.

The retailers are just doing what retailers do 'advertising'.

Sorry guys!

Well I just got an dispatch email from game, also I went to my local Game and the guy said they expecting a delivery today but could be any time between 12-5pm. Might go later on and see if they really do get any.

Considering every GAME store with a twitter account has been advertising their arrival today for the last two weeks, I think your information is wrong. Maybe 3-4 weeks at every other retailer in the UK, but GAME are definitely getting them today.

Got Eye-Brawl and Thumpback from GAME Denton, Manchester today.

Don't know where you get your info but it is wrong.

My suppliers are now quoting Mon/Tues next week for them to get stock so TRU/Smyths etc are likely to be the same.

Only stock of Giants at the moment though...no update on single figures or lightcores

Got eye brawl today from Chichester game (didn't have enough for thump back even though they had 4 of them) and my trigger snappy arrived from america today, I got it for £10 including shipping

There out? I MUST HAVE THEM *asks mum to take him to GAME*

Game in Brighton have Thumpback and Eyebrawl, didn't cop as hope TRU has them tomorrow (employee discount)

They Have them in Game store only at the moment. Got Eye Brawl and Thumpback only none of the others in Wave 3.

I managed to get Thumpback and Eye-Brawl this afternoon at Game in Leeds Headrow. They had about 8 Eye-brawls and maybe about 5 Thumpbacks.

eyebrawl and thumpback are available in game stores from yesterday i got two sets so get buying guys

Quote: t7gga

i had a gift sent recently valued at $9.

the $9 was hand written and the nice customs people thought it looked like an 8 ... so then they also included the cost of registered shipping to the value

import duty, tax and handling came to just over £31 !!!

That is unfortunately the way it works. Anything other than normal postage counts towards the import value.

Unfortunately nothing new at my Toys R Us today (despite Game getting the W3 Giants) stock is really low here so would hope something new arrives very soon

Really dont undestand how they release these figures. So are thumpback and eye brawl game exclusive for a while? How come no one else has them and what happend to the rest of wave 3 that we should really got before the Giants?

The Game sale of Eye Brawl and Thumpback is a 'pre' UK release.

I don't know if they will have some exclusive deal - that I was unaware of. If so I stand corrected.

Note other than Gamestop have you even seen these on line anywhere else (even in the USA)?

More likely when Game went into administration last year they got private equity support from the Gaming industry ... perhaps a big software house might have Acted ? So them getting a chance to corner the market might be a bit of 'self help?'.

As far as I'm aware the full release of all wave 3 is still 3 weeks away. I can't say for definite but Friday 15th Feb has been suggested. I do hope this is wrong and it happens sooner !

PS If you are buying any toy from the USA you will pay £11 for admin charge + the duty on whatever you buy say £6.00 (hence '£17.00') on the Scorpion Pack etc. So with P&P that's around £42.00 to get one. They will only be £25.00 when in the UK !

Slightly, sorry but you are wrong (as I've said before)

My suppliers are getting Eyebrawl and Thumpback early next week so independent retailers will have them Weds/Thurs, can't see why TRU/Smyths would be any different.

If you don't believe me look at http://www.theinthing.com/cgi-...63&11853&N&9676

They only add dates when they have confirmed shipping dates from Activision.

As I said - I hope I'm wrong. But it it would not be the first time The In Thing has advertised stock as due, only to put it back.

If this is your regular supplier - look what's happened with the various Moshi releases etc. some of them were moved back weeks at the last minute.

If it happens then great - but I suspect it will be around 15th before we see Shroom LC et al.

i just got ! he's amazing in game!

^Nice theory but it's busted as Smyths Ireland have them

True about Moshis but 2 other suppliers have given the same dates for the Giants so they must all be getting the info from somewhere.

Zavvi has them on pre order but release date shows 22 March?! We'l be looking at skylanders 3 by then.

Look who came this morning



I've not played them yet but first impressions...EyeBrawl is smaller than I expected and his eye definitely seems to have shrunk from the prototypes on the packaging. One of his arms was also attached to the packaging by a bit of string...not sure why, not seen that on a Skylander before.

Thumpback is HUGE and looks great. He would have looked better I think if the paint on his chain and anchor was silver rather than grey...or even better made of metal.

now have four thumpbacks and four eyebrawls get in there time to start customising i think

Ye I saw that string holding the Eye Brawls arm? Are all yours like that, am thinking theres something wrong with mine! There ones I ordered from game still havent arrrived yet! I ordered last thursday. Also thumpback looks awsome compared to Eye Brawl.

Aww great! I went to town yesterday and there was a Game there but I never went in

I only looked at 2 but they both had it. Assumed that they put it on as his round head might pop out of the packaging in transit and get damaged.

I actually didnt see the string and went to pull my eyebrawl out which ended up damaging its arm

I saw a few unboxings to verify but all the videos on youtube the people seem to just pull them outdidnt notice the strings in the videos weird.

i done that with the first one i opened but its due to the weight of the arm and the way its sticking out from his body and so it doesnt get damaged in transit or broken off as its quite near the front of the package

So maybe we going get HOT DOG and LC Shroomboom next Friday? according to Gameseek.co.uk we may.

Well spotted

The In Thing have a date of Feb but I'll be seeing them this weekend at Spring Fair so will ask them for a better date.

Yesterday it said stock expected 31/01/13 so I don't know how reliable this information is

Please get all the info you can thanks

Quote: Sandstorm

Just thought I'd let people in uk know that gameseek have the new giants and are due to get the scorpion battle pack on the 31st, they also have the new S2 fingered like stealth elf etc advertised for sale.
I've just ordered thumpback and eyebrawl from game and they have been despatched so basically don't get stung by the parasites on eBay charging sickening prices for figures that are available at a number of online stores.

It was said in another UK topic

Just got an email from Argos saying they expect stock of LC Shroomboom on the 21st of February. So SLIGHTY might be right about the date for some shops. Hope places like Game get them quicker like with Thumpback and Eye Brawl.

^interesting. Strange how there's so many different dates being banded around. Will try to get more info from my TRU too

Now available online with TRU UK

Eyebrawl- http://m.toysrus.co.uk/Toys-R-...archPosition=84

Thumpback- http://m.toysrus.co.uk/Toys-R-...archPosition=87

I want the rest of wave 3... they all on ebay for double the retail price. I must resist!

edit: Game now has the rest of wave 3 on their site but currently out of stock. Friday maybe the release after all. Scorpion striker ya!

My TRU has Eyebrawl and Thumpback in store, well we did for about 5 mins. We received just 6 of each!! So I'm happy I finally have these. Still no other Wave 3 figures though.

Was told some new lightcores are expected next week, could be SB or LLC?

Really that sounds good, Hope its legenday LC chill! Which is probably not as USA hasnt got it yet.

The In Thing *may* be getting the Wave 3 reposes on Monday/Tuesday this week.

Also got some cryptic info confirming a new Skylanders game later this year from a different supplier.

At the moment clicking on the link tells you this item is "in stock" but if you try to buy it you get told "Item is out of stock". That's not confusing at all

Scorpion striker Pack available instore from Gamestop Ireland €29.99. Not listed on website last time I checked.

Edit: Just to add Thumpback and Eye Brawl also out. Topps Collectors tin 9.99 and Album 4.50.

We don't have Gamestop in England what a shame got to wait for Game I guess

THANK YOU!Sorry for all caps but I am so exited.

Just picked up Eye Brawl and Thumpback from Bolton Toys R Us. Wasn't out on the shelf but I asked and they had 3 boxes of them (with 1 of each in). Also used a £5 off £30 spend voucher so got em for £25.
