For those that have already got Polar Whirlwind from the ebay seller shop-it. How long did it take for Polar to arrive?

8 days

9 days here

I did not get her from shop-it, but she took 7 days from Germany to to stateside, arrived via USPS, was sent Royal Post, I live in SW Florida if that helps. Some of the sellers are sending DHL which may take longer? IDK, either way congrats to you on Polarwind she is gorgeous in game and out.

I didnt go through shop it but went through the other guy mentioned in the polar thread. Ordered it on 21st and arrived on 30th.

It took 7 days from the day shop it shipped it.

Shop-It does not do "Tracking" but in most cases (Mine included) he does "Signature required". For protection this is better for both involved. It may not be convieniant for the buyer, but protects both parties. I had to get her the next day at the Post Office because I was not home when they tried to deliver it. Even though my mail box requires a key to open (Community Mail boxes) and is big enough to fit the package, I still had to sign for it.

How long did it take for your Polar to be delivered?

Shipped on the 25th, got it on the 4th due to not being there on the 3rd to sign for the package. Well worth it. I ended up getting it for the cost of the shipping. I had a coupon code from Ebay. It would not cover the shipping fee. Best "In Game Variant" , they did a nice job on the paint job. A MUST HAVE!!!

Is it safe to assume that Polar will not be made available in the US given nothing appears to be showing up anywhere yet?

I still believe that it will be here in the States, just like Spyro and Wrecking ball. They were first seen out of the States but eventually they are making thier way to the USA. I would have waited for Polar, but as soon as I got an email from Ebay with the Coupon code, I knew exactly what to get.
I got it for the price of finding it in the store (Shipping = less than $10).
Since she is an "In Game Variant" I dont believe Activision would not sell it in the States.

If the rumors of Scarlet appearing in the US in May are true then you gotta figure Polar will be here shortly after that. Fingers crossed.

Do shop its polar ww's arrive in good condition? Are they bent or damaged or shipped in a crappy envelope or box?

Does shop-it ship Polar Whirlwind boxed in good condition or damaged?

Mine was in perfect condition in a box. The only blemish was a fold on the inner label that was a manufacturing defect and not related to Shop It at all. We open our Skylanders so no big deal.

But, that's the downfall of ordering online anywhere, you don't get to scan it for any issues in the paint or packaging. If you are buying for packaged display purposes, keep this in mind. Also, it had the European style hook (obviously).

And BTW, Polar Whirlwind is a great figure. She isn't just white, it is more of a shiny pearl finish like that special Hex from the first game.

I got mine in a box but the box was to short that the top of the cardboard was bent over. It does not matter to me since we open and play with them.
I suggest if you want mint - Wait to get it in the store so you can choose the exact one you want and not complain that it is not in mint condition.

This is interesting as I live in Australia and decided to buy a Polar Whirlwind from ebay.

I also decided to buy from Shop It, but this was before I read this. But judging by everyone's
comments about Shop It, I am glad that I did.

Still waiting for it to arrive but only ordered it 2 days ago and it is weekend here now.
Very glad that it should be in a box as I believe it is the best way to keep skylanders in
good condition, especially when they are being sent long distance.

For all other Australian skylanders collecters and gamers I will let you know how long it takes
to get to Australia when it arrives.

Dragon-Master even though I live in Texas I ordered Polar from Shop It yesterday.

I will let other US Skylander peeps know how long it takes for Polar to get to the US and will keep track of the days when she arrives.

I ordered mine from Shop It on Ebay back on March 27th and I received it in a box on Thursday. I did have to sign for it.

I also live in Texas and ordered a Polar Whirlwind from shop it on March 26th, shipped on the 27th and unfortunately has not arrived yet.

It states in the delivery that "Delivery: For items that are shipped from overseas, the delivery date can not be specified" and in the shipping topic of the seller this is what it says for the estimated delivery "Varies for items shipped from an international location
Seller ships within 1 day after receiving cleared payment"

I just received my Polar today, I had to sign for the package for those curious.

The waiting is really killing me as I want her to arrive already

Mail man came by and nothing as of yet
