For those in the states, will we have to pay a customs fee? I ordered 2 and my delivery ETA is 3/25. Don't see a tracking number either...

My due date isn't till the 26th, but I don't mind too much, because her figure is so cool it'll be worth the wait to customize her.

Mine arrived today (UK) in perfect condition, glad they use strong boxes

Mine shipped, says it'll be here by the 25th. How funny that this was so easy.

Yeah, it really was easy. Funny how whoever gets the exclusive in the US is now going to be faced with being late to the game. I'm sure they will sell, but unless Amazon has the US exclusive the longer whoever gets it waits to talk about it the more their sales go to out the door.

This event and the preoder for the hotdog battlepack on gamestop.com prove that if companies do prominent easy to access prorders the customer will come.

I expect when we get a US release whoever has Scarlet exclusivity will still prosper. I believe the overseas shipping thing scared off some potential buyers. I also expect some serious collectors in the states to have a serious packaging preference for the American card. Its a fair bet that some individuals who have purchased the Euro card will buy the American one as well and possibly even return it to the store to get their money back. Also once these have fully made it to the states some will show up on ebay for ridiculous amounts. This will encourage profiteers from buying what they can of the American release in an attempt to do the same. They will still be heavily anticipated and sought out here despite a few of us already holding them.

Mine shipped, arrival date is 3/25... when I'll be on vacation. Boo. No Scarlet til I get back.

mine still hasnt shipped. I had to reenter my credit card info due to not having money on my card. Payment went through on thursday but still nothing

U lied to amazon...(No money...No Scarlet)...Now they dont trust u.....LoL

I actually had the money when I paid but it didnt try to pull it out till the 13. I got paid again on the 14. I know ill get it, its just matter of when. Im hoping to have it by easter for my daughter.

I'm in California and I just got my Scarlet Ninjini in the mail today. She looks good!

My arrival date wasn't supposed to be on the 21st but I'm glad I got it today.

Don't forget to keep her in her package, to keep the retail value!

@tipotay
Dean Fortino, I presume?

Sorry, I don't know what this means. Are you wondering if I am Dean Fortino?

Personally, I think it's awesome that this offer turned out to be legit. A part of me thought it was just a placeholder date and that there was no way they were shipping in March, but I'm pretty pleased to be wrong about that. Thankfully that's the end of the Giants for us.

Why would it have been fake? It's still Amazon, just specializing in a different country.

Oh I was sure it was for the actual item, but given how things went with gold Flameslinger last fall, I was predicting another cancellation/rescheduling for April or May. March 15th just seemed too soon to me, and I was skeptical they had the figures to deliver on the advertised date. I was mostly positive that the only thing going out last week would be e-mails saying that the item had been delayed, but fortunately that wasn't the case, and it looks like everyone who went ahead with it will be receiving their figures well ahead of any U.S. release date.

@tipotay
I guess, since another from California got his Scarlet & posted about it on Facebook...

I can safely say that I am not Dean Fortino

So that's at least two people in California who have gotten theirs! Me and Dean!

Was there a "Custom Fee" attached to the package?

Question for anyone that received their Scarlet in the States:
Did anyone have to pay a "Custom Fee"?

Mine is excpected to be here on the 25th.

There was a Customs form but I didn't have to pay anything.

Well I think I ordered one.. We will see how good my German is still. lol

I believe it's coming March 30 to April 5

Does she speak in English? These aren't region locked are they?

Wow, I've seen like 10 people ask this, worried about this, not understanding how it works. Look, don't worry.

What is stored on a figure is basically just ID numbers. Put a figure on the portal, the game reads it and goes (I'm pulling these numbers out of thin air): This is character #52 (oh, that's Scarlet Ninjini) with hat #35 (oh, that's the Knight Helm), etc. etc. The actual code for her - how to draw her, how to animate her, how to animate her powers, and what she says - is completely coded into the game disc. If your game plays in English, if your system is set to English, etc., then Scarlet Ninjini will speak English. It's your GAME, not the figure, which decides the language.

So again, don't worry.

Ok, she speaks english but does she come dressed in a Dirndl?
I'm worried she will look to German on my American portal :/

just to clarify, it's actually your system that dictates the language. whatever region you have your Xbox/PS3 set for is the language Skylanders will use

Does anyone in the US know how to track their packages? My Amazon.de tracking info just says it was dispatched on the 14th, nothing else. How are these things arriving to us? UPS? FedEx? USPS?

There is no tracking available on the packages

Mine came by USPS.

Mine delivery date was the 21st too. Can't wait to get home from work to see if mine arrived early

Just got our Scarlet Ninjini today wasn't supposed to come until later in the week

(I'm in Oregon if someone is keeping track)

Has anyone received Scarlet in Los Angeles yet?

im in california as well but did not get mine hopefully tomorrow

Those of you in the US that got your Scarlet already: Did you pay extra for faster shipping, or did you get the cheapest avail?

I don't recall having a choice in shipping.

Dunno about anybody else, but I had no choice in shipping, there was one: Royal Shipping, and it was clearly just standard, slowest possible shipping.

Anybody in Canada get theirs yet?

??? There are pictures here showing what the figure looks like, she looks like Scarlet Ninjini is supposed to look. And I saw a video or two, in the game she looks like the video equivalent of the figure, just like every figure and in-game variant does.

The only difference is the packaging. She has a humongous peg hole (seemingly to accomodate several different in-store peg styles in Europe), and the text on the back are in like 8 different languages.

I'm starting to suspect a troll here...

Yeah, that's what I meant... I meant whatever language your game plays in is what language she speaks, and for brevity I skipped over that the language in the game is set by the language of the console.

just because this drove me nuts as an American living in Sweden:
The in-game language isn't set by the language setting on your console
what's that you say?
The in game language is actually determined by your location setting!
My Xbox is set to language: English and Location: Sweden and my Skylanders speak Swedish!
I have to change my location to America to get the game to play in English.
Note: this is most likely only something that affects European-sold game discs as I doubt there is much regionalization on the US ones

Just putting this info out there for others so they won't have to pull out their hair and write nasty letters to Activision in order to get the correct language.

On second thought, write them nasty letters telling them the in game language should use the language setting, not the region setting

^ Good info, thanks for sharing DragonsDream.

Interesting that these are coming from Germany and showing up on the West coast before the East coast. I would have expected them to show up on the East coast first.

Yup, I am in Chicago and still no sign of mine!

Just got Scarlet in the mail today in Missouri. Paint has a few issues on her face and on her hair. Very cool figure.

Mine arrived today in NJ (was supposed to be tomorrow) Great packing job & its in great shape!

Got in one of my Scarlet Ninjini orders today - it was a day early also. Same as the rest of you, the paint job isn't very good, spots on her face look like scars so I guess she's battle tested.

I guess I was lucky because the paint job on mine is actually pretty decent. It's definitely better than my regular Ninjini.

My paint job is perfect. Just got it in today.

Yeah, that's what sucks about ordering online, it's a gamble on the quality. Oh wow, I really hope my paint job is at least decent... My due date is this Saturday, between it being a weekend and people saying she's been arriving early, I'm figuring tomorrow or Friday is possible. Keeping my fingers crossed!

My daughter's Scarlet Ninjini arrived (in Arizona) today....a day earlier than scheduled..... Now, need to find the regular Ninjini.

No sign of my scarlet ninjini yet hopefully tomorrow

Mine just arrived. She has a chunk missing from her ear, other than that she's good

Did anyone else order through standard shipping, and it states it shipped via DHLGA? Mine says it shipped via DHLGA, and states my delivery date as April 3rd, lol.

Just wondering if anyone else had their tracking state it shipped via DHLGA?
