As per Ash64's comment, I've seen the Arkeyan Crossbow in GAME stores near me now.

I've ordered Stink Bomb, Rubble Rouser, Spy Rise and Sheep Wreck Island from amazon.it if any of you fancy ordering from mainland Europe too. Express delivery (1-2 working days) was about £15 for all of the above so it's a bit more expensive than waiting for them to be officially released here, but worth it by my reckoning.

I loathe going shopping in the Christmas period :/ so it's a good price to pay for me!


Edit: in total, it's £12 (postage inc.) more expensive than wandering into a GAME store and paying their standard retail price for each of them, just for the information of any other parties interested in this method.

My mum doesn't let me order from other countries.

My Italian Amazon package came today I put pics in the "I just bought" thread if anyone wants to see

When did you order them?

Late night Monday. It came in quite reasonable time.

Wait you ordered on Monday 16th and they came in two days???

Yeah. UPS Express delivery they started moving it around 6pm last night. Came through Milano, Bergamo, Koeln, Stanstead and then to me about 11am today.

Had exactly does delivery work? How much is express delivery?

I want to order them but I am not sure if I can get them before Christmas.

Can Amazon.co.uk accounts be used?

I've just checked amazon.it now WWB and standard delivery won't arrive before Chistmas any more. Your only option if you want it to arrive guaranteed on/before Christmas Eve is to choose the express (it's the same word in Italian as in English) delivery option which is what I chose anyway owing to impatience

Then when they send you your dispatch confirmation email, they will include a UPS Express Saver tracking number which you use in the same way as a Royal Mail tracking number which displays movement info as it happens. Like this:

Koeln, Germany 12/18/2013 12:45 A.M. Departure Scan
Koeln, Germany 12/17/2013 10:56 P.M. Arrival Scan
Bergamo, Italy 12/17/2013 9:39 P.M. Departure Scan


EDIT: Yes, your amazon UK account is totally valid and useable. It's the same login details as if you were using amazon.co.uk

That is good but what about the price of express delivery?

Will they come Friday if I order today?

My postage costs came to € 21,35
€ 1,00 is about £0.80

I can't be a spokesperson on behalf of UPS you understand, but it should do.

I ordered them!

It came up to about £83

Estimated Delivery is 20th-23rd.

I hope they come in time!

I dont know how many of you know but o2 priority moments is currently offering a free skylanders giant character from Game, my local store had a small amount left as these are being taken quickly so if you are with o2 this is worth a look

I didn't know about the O2 offer, I'll definitely look at this offer when I get home later.

My dad said he will take me to Smyths on Saturday to get Jolly Bumble Blast.

They came!

Wow, your collection is WAY ahead of what I can get here in the states!

I got these new guys from Amazon Italy.

Glad to hear it! Well I guess we know where we are getting the next wave of Swappers then, eh?

I went to Smyths and got Jolly Bumble Blast! I can't have him until Christmas.

No Wave 3 though. Just loads on Jolly Bumble Blast.

Any word on Quickdraw?

Any word on Quickdraw?

He probably won't come out here.

Pessimism isn't the best way to go about this...

Anyway, on a slightly sweeter note, Coolshop has a majority of Wave 3:



Adventure Pack
LC
LC
TH Battle Pack

I ordered Lightcore Countdown and Wham-Shell from coolshop.co.uk.

I am also going to get Granite Crusher tomorrow.

We are currently missing







Phantom
Horn Blast
Hyper Beam

We only have Arkeyan Crossbow in stores.

Going looking today.

Hope you find something new!

Smyths toys have them

Smyths toys have them

Which one's exactly?

They have the lightcore whamshell and countdown

I saw tons of Lightcore Countdown and Wham-Shell at my local GAME. I also saw a few Arkeyan Crossbows (which I nearly bought) and like one A-Z of Skylands Book

My Lightcores were sent on Friday and delivery is 2-3 days.

So Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday I think.

I got Granite Crusher for £20 on Saturday.

EDIT: They didn't arrive yet and I don't know if they deliver things tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure they don't... which is a real shame because my Giants game and lightcores all arrived this morning but I missed the post BY TEN MINUTES

So am I correct in ascertaining that Wave 3 is out in the UK? Might go on a shop tomorrow.

I believe it is just the Battle pack and Lightcores.

Lo, for I have news. Bad news, but news.

So I went into GAME today and bought Fire Kraken. While at the till, I asked about when the next swappers were due out. The response I got was that they were actually due in before Christmas, but have been held back in the UK for unknown reasons. As such, the minimum time it will take for them to be in stores for them is two weeks, but we could be waiting as late as February.

And I can verify that this is specifically about the swappers because before they said about the schedule stuff, they brought up that the batch included "Stink Bomb and a couple of others" without prompt.

That's fine - I'm mostly shopping for those right now anyway and filling in the rest of the figures when I can - cheers WBB!

The Lightcores were meant to take 2-3 days but now it is a whole week later.

I just really want Dune Bug and the cores.

Although I don't have an answer for the arrival before Christmas, a possible reason they might not make it until February in certain stores is that they try to shift the unwanted Christmas leftovers first. So even if they did receive them mid-January, some stores may be hesitant to put them on shelves before clearing out the older Swap Force stuff.

I can't even wait for the UK releases any more I got most of wave 3 from amazon.de price isn't much different at all.

Don't forget most business, including couriers were closed at least two working days over Christmas.

I got LC and LC from Coolshop.co.uk after 8 days when they said 2-3 days...



Now I only need the wave 3 cores...

Hi there,

Does anyone know when Wave 3 Skylanders will be released in the UK? I have searched everywhere on the Internet but cannot find a date. If anyone has any details I would be extremely grateful,

Many thanks,
Nick Vardy

Go on coolshop they have stink bomb, spy rise, sheep wreck, rubble rouser and the lightcores but no cores yet

It's dribbling out here and there.
Lightcore Countdown, Whamshell and the Arkeyan Crossbow pack have all seen sighted in GAME stores, but the UK never has 'release dates', it just comes out when the shops here decide to actually put out their stock for once.

A GAME employee I spoke to the other day confirms what Nroc says. He told me Skylanders are a bit annoying for them because they count them as toys as opposed to a game, accessory or expansion pack and as such there is no official release date given to them. It's a case of "do not stock before -insert given date-". In my local store it operates on a "when there's room, and the remainder are looking stale 'cause they've been there for ages on an otherwise unchanging display, then we'll put them out" kind of policy.

Thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated. I havent' managed to spot anything new as yet. I live in Kent so if anyone has sightings of new stuff post here please. I will do so the same if I manage to grab anything new.

Thanks again to you all

Huh? When I ordered my Dark Edition, It came on The Monday following launch day...

I'm in Kent as well. Went to both Dartford and Gravesend GAME and both had the lightcores, but no battle packs.

Anyone know if any more Wave 3 is out?
