Nice, they're trying really hard to get rid of old stock, aren't they? Is this online only? I hope not, since I'm still missing a few characters.

15$?! That's stupid. In the UK we can but them for £6-£8, the Giants, otherwise, are £12 around my area. Just my opinion on things, sorry guys.

This seems to be IN-STORE only, at least for many of the figures. The two I wanted WERE listed - Boomer and Wham-Shell - but both were only listed as "In Store". No Home Delivery, no In Store Pickup, no [whatever the fourth one is].

You're only comparing the numbers... Whenever I've looked at the exchange rate, it has run around double. When I had a British friend staying here, it was around 3x. So "£6-£8" is about $12-$16, and Giants for "£12" would be roughly $24 (without checking the ACTUAL exchange rate, these are just ballpark figures). Since North American prices are generally $10 for singles, $12 for Lightcore, and $15 for giants, sorry, you're paying more than we are.

Now for me, living in Canada, the exchange rate for American dollars has been hovering around equal for a few years now, so I can compare using only numbers. The exchange rate has been close enough that this $10, $12, $15 thing has actually been the same actual numbers the entire time I've been into Skylanders - since May 2012.

Nope. I'm just comparing numbers. According to you, that is. And pounds are less than dollars, so, umm, yeah. Whatever.

Skylanders are cheaper in US.

7.99 US 7.99 UK

7.99 pounds in dollars $12.52

7.99 dollars in pounds £5.10

We should get a 7.99 Skylander for £5.10 but no £7.99...

Our Skylanders in US are $9.99, not $7.99, but your point still stands.

*sigh* Pounds are worth MORE than dollars... Each pound is worth WAY more than a dollar.

So RIGHT NOW, I see the exchange rate is 0.6391. So $15 for a giant is £9.5865. I believe you said you pay £12. Last I knew, 9.59 is less than 12. smilie

$10 normal Skylanders would be £6.391, of course. So actually that's about the same, at the low end of what you said.
