If he is out here I expect Game.

The Skylander cards are out now!

I will check Tesco and Co-Op.

Yep came out a few days ago. I posted in the card thread. Hope people buy them cause I'd love to trade. I ordered Friday.

I got the starter pack. and I have pre-ordered the A-Z boom with a free Trigger Snappy!

I think that Pumpkin Eyebrawl is out in Sainsburys. I dont know for certain, but someone on the facebook group put up a picture with an 'exclusive to sainsburys' sticker.

^ Website confirms this.

Now how about some Series 2 Drobot?

If I see one in my Sainsbury's, I'll get it, but I'm not massively bothered, to be honest. Pretty much, I only want variants that show up in-game!

Yes they're definitely in Sainsburys with the exclusive sticker mentioned. Looks very nice for the completists out there, but with Swap Force 3 weeks away I certainly won't be buying it.

I might get it, just to try out Eye Brawl's other path. Is it still £15 or has the price gone down the rest of the Giant's merch?

got the pumkin eye brawl today it was still £14.99

I got my Pumpkin Eyebrawl today from Sainsburys (worked out well as I was going into town for the Giratina event anyways) and yeah it was still £14.99. Thanks for the heads up guys

I got the new Card SP for £4.99 at GAME.And, A Shiny Giratina!

I get my first Sidekick Thursday.

If you want Trigger Snappy get this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/pro...&pf_rd_i=468294

May be old news but Game in Croydon are doing a buy 1 get one free on Giants. They had THUMPBACK, CRUSHER, HOT HEAD, EYE BRAWL and SWARM.
NINJINI was on the shelf but wasn't included in the deal!
Seems to be the norm now as TRUs are also doing the deal, with thier Queensway branch including Legendary Bouncer.

My Trigger Snappy didn't come today but it will come tomorrow.

Just found out that if you pre-order the Fiery Forge from amazon, it's only £19.97.
Also the Tower of time on amazon is £22.99. So more cheaper than Game's prices.

I need to order those soon.

Any word on pre-orders for actual characters in Swap Force yet? This time last year, we had a couple of places taking pre-orders.

Nope, which sucks as I order most thing online

It's strange that the normal character packs aren't up for pre-order yet. Hopefully they will be up by next week.

I have pre-ordered the Tower Of Time and Fiery Forge so now I am waiting for the rest to pre-order.

I am annoyed that we are LAST to get Swap Force.I think they would be doing a good thing by, like Pokemon, have a WORLDWIDE RELEASE!Gosh, what a good idea!

A few days to wait for the game is not really of any consequence to be honest.

I'd rather see them improve with the figures, myself; there's a lot of lag time between the US getting the figures and anywhere else, and then a lot of country exclusives - something I wouldn't mind if they weren't in-game variants.

Personally, I'd like to see some actual figures available in the UK for pre-order. Last year, we had figures available for pre-order about 3 weeks before the games release. This year we've only seen the launch day Adventure/Battle packs.

Agreed. SAA and SG both had close release dates for US and UK, but now it's almost a week apart. So UK is now nothing to the creators of Skylanders?

Nah, I don't think so. But you do make a point. Honestly, I don't know what I want first for Swap Force. On the bright side, next week is the launch.week for SSF in the UK! (Actually, I didn't know what to say...)

...It's less than a week. That's really not that long in terms of waiting for a release date.

If the UK was "nothing to the creators of Skylanders", we would just be getting Spyro's Adventure like Japan did recently.

Still no Pre-Orders and Series 2 Drobot...

WHAT IS GOING ON???

What is special about the 18th and the 13th???

18th in the UK, SF comes out, new season of Walking Dead on TV, Turbo movie comes out along with a host of other releases.
In the US it all clusters around the 13th.

Is there some special significance of these dates I am missing?

Free Ranger single pack is now on the Toys R Us website, can't be ordered yet:

http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Toys-...earchPosition=1

The extra 5 days will kill me...

Well, one figure is a start, but I'll already have him with my 3DS purchase.

Also, I still can't comprehend how five days is a murderous length of time. I've been through nearly 25 years of gaming, and seen games that were delayed up to two years for the UK.

Well 5 days longer sucks especially if you are super excited!

so why don't they just put up the pre-orders? whats all the secret....

8 Days and still no pre-orders... It is getting late!

Toys R Us have added:

Magna Charge http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Toys-...earchPosition=3

Hoot Loop http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Toys-...earchPosition=5

Rattle Shake http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Toys-...earchPosition=4

I suddenly have the urge to pre-order the 3DS version.
If it's £15 per SF figure then thats £30 I will probably be spending anyway, leaving £20 for the game, portal, Eruptor and LC Hex...

The other option is just to hold out for prices to drop on the starter sets but that could be AGES and I don't want to wait that long for those figures... I hadn't planned on spending this much on day one though

Final predictions for Series 2 Drobot release:

1. He comes out when Lightcore Hex single does (If it does)

2. He never comes out and doesn't allow us to finish our collection

Well, I gave up on waiting for S2 Drobot a while ago - I just got one from ebay - but it is annoying that they haven't done anything about S2 Drobot at all in the UK.

Why does TRU have to have delivery fee!

Google, I managed to get £5 off and free delivery when I pre-ordered SF a while back using a voucher code I found online.

Free delivery on orders this weekend though.

Cool but they say out of stock

So GAME just announced an offer to make a pre-order at their store at lot more tempting (if a free LC Hex, the extra poster and the RFID chip weren't enough pre-order bonuses), they're now giving away a code to everyone who has pre-ordered either versions of the starter pack for any system to claim a free Giant.

The Giants you can claim are Swarm, Crusher, Hot Head, Thumpback and Eyebrawl. Kind of glad I didn't decide to buy these four, I'll probably end up getting Thumpback myself.

The TOC's for the offer say that if you've already pre-ordered, you'll be e-mailed with the code on the 17th.

Ok guys, with SSF only a few days from releasing in the UK, what exclusives have we got officially confirmed? I know we have the dark starter pack and legendaries but what other exclusives are confirmed for UK day one?

Just to add to Bionicle's post, it's only the dark edition where you can claim a free giant character. If you preorder the normal edition you can claim a free regular sized Skylander which includes: Fright Rider, Flashwing, Sprocket, Chill, Shroom Boom, Whirlwind, Cynder, Hex, Gill Grunt, Stump Smash and I think they mean Lightening Rod with the second to last name.

Ah, I thought it was the same for both starter packs. Thanks for that.

Aww come on why isn't Polar Whirlwind here yet? Swap Force is soon out and we still don't have all the Skylanders! The day I see she is out, I will force my parents to take me to the shop the sells her xD

No Series 2 Drobot yet? Are you serious TFB?
