Looks like I'm not getting it today. Might even not get it until next week. It happened again for the 2nd year in a row...

Why has it been delayed, thats not like amazon. They are usually good. However you saying this I remember when I was a lurker and saw your posts about a delay for tt. Whats the hold up from there end, do you know?
Game were good to me today, as was my travels around Bristol. Got everything I was looking for, good luck in your hunting.

The golden hot streak was in an xbox one starter set btw, although it is appearing across all sets.

Another edit to say that the steel plated smash hit were on the shelves in tesco extra yate Bristol this afternoon, they had at least 50 on the shelves.


Mental note, Must update my signature, it is so out of date.

Last year when it was delayed that was because of Smyths. My Amazon is prime but it was sent with Royal Mail yesterday so it won't arrive until tomorrow or next week.

Weird they used royal mail for prime, for me they usually deliver themselves. A few figures I got from them arrived today and were delivered by amazon (not meaning to rub it in), I live in a tiny village as well.

I manged to get Fiesta.
Sea Shadow
Stealth Stinger
Crypt Crusher
Storm Blade
Wii u Starter
And a swap force skylander. (Trap Shadow)
Smyths have quite the collection.

Since some people are asking how many nitros smyths had. On shelf for mine they had about ten.

Just got my golden hot streak from my local Tesco. Only one there. Also had loads of steel plate smash hit but I have that coming in the mail!

For the first time, I've gone pretty light on a Skylander release date. Only Dark Wii U, Sea Racing pack and Steel Plated Smash hit to get me going. I'll admit, I've been skeptical about SuperChargers, but aside from the vehicle segments controlling a little clumsily, it's pretty good.

Was also hoping to get a Nitro Stealth Stinger and a Legendary Hurricane Jet-Vac, but neither of my local stores had any, which is peculiar.
Game had the Wave 2 Vehicles in stock though.

The vehicle controls have been discussed quite a lot on here, you can go into the settings and change them and apparently vehicles control MUCH better after.

Any sign of wave 2 figures yet?

I finally got the game!

Pleased yours arived today finally Bob, I've still yet to unbox and play a game, haha.

After a busy day yesterday, waiting around for deliveries and driving around for the exclusives, I have finally put almost all of them together in one picture. I am still awaiting the dark starters for wii and wii u, I got them at less than retail however have to wait for international delivery on those. So here we go, a picture of the first wave united. I'm still not sure about whether to take them out of the boxes or not.

Had better luck with the exclusives today by going to a different town.
Added steel plated smash hit, nitro stealth stinger, quick draw rattle snake and steampunk shreadnaut trap to the collection.
Still no luck with golden hot rod though. *EDIT* Found the gold!

E3 Hot Streak confirmed to be the new super gift from the Skylanders Club.

As much as I want it I doubt I will be buying 25 more Skylanders, ah well.

How weird, but oh well.

25 is a lot though if you don't intend on getting all of them. Especially with the limited choice that this game has given you.

Called in at my local Game this afternoon. They were SOLD OUT of all individual character packs!! Though there were plenty of vehicles.

Anyone else found this?

And what does it mean? That Skylanders are still very popular, but vehicles not so much?

Look at it this way. Each skylander is unique and will carry into the next game, whereas you only need to buy 2 vehicles (one if you got the dark starter) and they are not really all that different from each other besides visuals.

To me figures selling and vehicles not kinda makes sense. At least to me.

Has anyone heard anything at all about the UK recieving the Wave 2 Skylanders yet?

I mean we got the vehicles, but there has been total silence beyond that as far as I was aware.

Also I am guessing we wont be getting Frightful Fiesta "normally" here at this stage.

I'm checking toys r us regularly for wave 2. My local got the legendary sky racing expansion in yesterday.

Are they selling the legendary pack yet at toys r us?

I'll pop up if they are.

I dont work there. Just popped in yesterday to see them on the shelves so id say its worth checking if its not out of your way.

I went up today and managed to get one, they had loads on the shelves in Bristol cribbs

I was at the massive Game store at the Metro Centre. Same thing - no single figures but loads of vehicles. Never mind hey?

Yes they are. I bought a Legendary Jet Vac. They had plenty of stock too.

Yes both the legendary sky racing pack is out at toys r us and the legendary jet vac figure

Just a quick heads up: Gameseek are doing skylanders really cheap.

http://www.gameseek.co.uk/sear...s+superchargers

Dive Clops, Fiesta and Terrfin are £9.71.
Stormblade is £11.71
Vehicles are £11.69 to £12.75
Gill Grunt racing pack is £28.99.

I believe thats the cheapest in the UK atm.

You also get points on all purchases and get 3% cashback at Topcashback too!

Which one is the sky racing pack again?
Is that the one with Astroblast?

Or is is the Jet Vac and vehicle combo?

It's the one with Astroblast & Sun Runner & Wolfgang Trophy , Toys R Us have the legendary version available now, no sign of the regular version yet.

So did we get it before the US?

I couldn't see the racing pack on their website - anyone got a link?

I believe the US have gotten the action pack as well in Toys R US.

No, it's not on the website atm, you'll need to go instore to get it for now. Will update if this changes.

Our local Tesco still has Trap Team figures out... But not Superchargers anywhere

The policy in our store is "what's out it what there is". Presumably to move old stock I suppose

So, is that the case or simply we don't want to sell what's in back until the stock in front is gone?

Tesco customer service is absolutely appalling

I managed to find my golden hot streak by asking tesco staff if they had one out back.
However I have also had tesco staff say they had no more of other products only to find them on the shelf later on, I think like a lot in life it depends on the person you speak to

I assume the latter. They've not even got the 3.0 Disney Infinity stuff out.

I actually picked this up yesterday instore. Also Toys R Us are giving a free £10 coupon on transactions of £40 or more til 12th October, shame I'd missed this.

Regular Smash Hit and High Volt are up for order at Tesco.

Wow, I didn't expect these to come out so soon due to the error with Nightfall. I suppose she's been removed from the packages in the UK and are still shipping the other 2?

GAME are listing High Volt and Smash Hit now

http://www.game.co.uk/en/skyla..._-NewCharacters

High volt and smash hit spotted in store today, now to find the chase one...

Smyths are doing buy one get one free on single swap force characters.

TRU has the double packs in-Jet Vac/Jet stream + Terrafin/Shark tank.

Any signs of Frightful Fiesta yet?
Somewhere should have it by now. I have a suspicion of ASDA having the exclusive, which ain't good as they've stopped selling online for skylanders. If any one gets the chance, check around asda skylanders displays and report back. If not, I should be able to make a trip up, though my nearest asda is dreadfully far away.

If Asda doesn't have it, then maybe GAME will get it nearer to Halloween or Argos.

I check my ASDA every time I am nearby (most recent was a couple of days ago) and can confirm that Frightful Fiesta is not there.
