Have all Superchargers characters (including variants) been released? I think they have, and if that's true... Wow. We haven't had that since... Ever. We missed out on the Volcanic Vault (SSA), Drobot (SG), Bumble Blast (SSF), some Minis and traps (STT). It'll be easy enough to pick up this year's stuff before Imaginators (which I need to figure out preorder and Christmas wise).

I'm pretty sure we had volcanic vault.

If you count the Amazon release, which was a while after Giants. But I never found it in store.

Eh, I'm not 100% sure since I got mine off my friend, but I'm guessing she got it easily because she was only a casual fan.

Volcanic Vault was available over here in the UK as a Pre-Order bonus for the first game. Not that I pre-Ordered SA but I did get a leftover one from a participating Gamestop back in the day.

Think I'm gonna wait a little bit when it comes to preorders. I want to get any exclusive variant or item that may arrive, so I'll be looking out for those. I just want to complete the Supercharger collection. It would be the first time I got all the main Skylanders, adventure packs and variants (not including sidekicks and the Volcanic Vault here) since SSA.

Hoping that SI won't leave us scavenging the UK or shipping them because of stock shortages. And they better not pull a S2 Drobot/LC Bumble Blast/X amount of stuff from STT, because that would be worse.

Sorry for the double post, but all single packs are £4.99 at TRU. Great deal, I couldn't miss out on telling you.

The only place so far it can be UK found.

I know this is a skylanders forum, but it's also the main UK thread of the site, so Disney Infinity 1.0 Characters are back in stock across many Smyths stores and online, (20 of them) and they're down to £5 + are included as part of 3 for 2, 3 characters for £10, better get them while they're in stock, some of these characters are extinct. Also with Disney Infinity ceasing production, this may be your last chance to pick them up!

Yeah, we're pretty much waiting on it still. I wanted to preorder it a long time ago. I find it odd how everything but Crash is up.

Does anyone have any idea of where the Kaos preorder is available, please?

Ok so so far Smyths seems to be the first place found with the Kaos Preorder available.

Though if you are interested in the Crash starter prepare for a massive price hike.

Gamestop UK = £69.97
Smyths = £84.99

So they basically just added the actual cost of the Kaos figure on top of the price.

Though the prices for the standard versions are the same, and they do come with Kaos.

If I find any updates on this I will be sure to let people here know.

Oh right, I didn't know the PS4 Crash Edition were listed there now. Are they not going to add the PS3 version of it?

Is the Crash starter pack still gonna be for PS3 as well? Because I don't see it on the Smyths website.

So far it seeme they only have the PS4 edition up.

Time to run to Smyths tomorrow morning then. I want Kaos so bad.

Honestly I would wait right now.

I have contacted Gamestop to see if they will also be doing the Kaos figure preorder gift or not, and £15 is a lot extra for Smyths to charge for something "free".

Unless you are buying the standard edition of course.

I just got a reply for Gamestop UKs customer support and they have flat out said that they will NOT be giving out Kaos as a preorder gift, meaning that right now Smyths is the only store that will be supplying it, which is annoying since they have hiked the price of the Crash edition up by £15.

I guess my next step is to contact Smyths and ask why they are charging so much extra for it in their store.


Edit: Just heard back from Smyths

"Thank you for getting in touch.


Whilst we do not Price Match directly with other stores, at Smyths Toys we aim to offer the most competitive prices on the market and all price difference queries are taken into consideration and reviewed appropriately prior to offering a price reduction.


If a price reduction is implemented, it is done across the board for all customers to avail of and not on a case by case basis for individual customers.


I will certainly highlight your comments to our Buyers Department for review.


Apologies for any disappointment caused."


So basically they dont care that their price is higher, and are unlikely to change anything.

I don't know if this has been posted, but GAME are offering the Kaos figure when you preorder Imaginators.

Oh, that must have very recently been added as I didnt see that there earlier.

Thanks.

GAME now has the Crash starter pack on their website, but only the PS4 version. I've decided to just pre order the normal PS3 pack and buy Crash and Cortex separately when they come out.

£84.99?! I can't remember paying that much for SF...?

I just noticed on smyths, if you pre-order the crash edition from them...seems you wont get kaos, all other versions have the pre-order and get kaos, yet that version doesn't....feels like another gearshift fiasco there.

If you click on the item it tells you below the big Pre-Order button that you do get Kaos free with the Crash Edition at Smyths.

Both Smyths and GAME have it for £84.99 and have the Kaos "Gift"

And Gamestop UK has it for £69.99 and does not include Kaos.

Both suspicious and typical.

In america the Kaos figure has a value of $15 since their Senseis will cost that much, and I wouldnt be surprised if when they come out here they cost £15 each, so basically both places giving the "free" Kaos figure just bumped up the price of the special editions including him.

Here things are really sparce, and yet in america it seems like there is not going to be anywhere that doest give Kaos free... though that should hardly be a surprise.

My only thought is that I am glad there is somewhere other than Smyths to get it after the Gearshift fiasco. (Took me over 4 months to get mine after they decided not to send me one)

Thanks for pointing out the crash bit anyway didnt see that when I went onto the crash page. I was lucky to end up getting 2 of everything from smyths with regards to the whole gearshift thing.....but that was due to them not listening, took 2 attempts for me to get gearshift, as they sent out the battle pack+ shield shredder again. Then they finally send it out, and instead of reading the email just asking if there was confirmation of it being sent out, they sent out a 2nd one. Couldn't complain but it was pretty bad how the whole situation was, hopefully they won't add anything extra as a pre-order bonus that they then take away.....

Probably been posted before, but Superchargers is currently £18 from Argos. I'm surprised it's this cheap, it must of sold worse than I thought.

I'll probably end up getting the Wii U version. Counting Donkey Kong as both an amiibo and Skylander (£26 IIRC), the whole thing would have £56 worth of toys, and a game. I was gonna skip this, particularly considering how Imaginators is almost out, but it's really cheap.

Wait a second! It's cheaper on Amazon!

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Skyla...s+superchargers

Is that the cheapest?

Pretty sure. Be sure to search on eBay, too.

Smyths told me that they still don't know anything about the PS3 Crash Edition. I'm starting to wonder why it isn't listed anywhere. Because of this I've decided to buy a PS4.

So new Starter pack bundles went up on amazon, these contain the kaos figure+ a mystery chest for £5 more, so your paying for the chest and getting kaos free. The Wii U version is now only available as this bundle it seems too.
Also there is no crash starter pack version of this bundle, so its safe to assume you wont get Kaos via amazon now if you purchase the crash edition there.

Wii U- https://www.amazon.co.uk/Skyla...o/dp/B01KMN0GEO
Xbox One- https://www.amazon.co.uk/Skyla...k/dp/B01KMN0SEC
Xbox 360- https://www.amazon.co.uk/Skyla...k/dp/B01KMN0PCW
PS3- https://www.amazon.co.uk/Skyla...k/dp/B01KMN0JM8
PS4- https://www.amazon.co.uk/Skyla...k/dp/B01KMN0N0G

The Crash Edition Starter Pack for the PS4 has been price-matched with Gamestop, at £69
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0...C8S3V5XV1&psc=1

I just spoke to someone via the Amazon chat, there is currently no plans for any pre-ordering bonuses.

So with paying £10 less for the normal starter pack, you have a Kaos figure and a chest exclusive to Amazon.co.uk.

GAME have the Dark Edition!

Does anyone know if GAME or Argos will have W2 on day one?

Gamestop UK now have all the figures up for pre-order.
I'm not sure if Mysticat and Aurora are part of wave 1 or 2, but they are available to pre-order. For some reason Mysticat is priced at £8.64

They also have the wrong name/picture for Tri-Tip/Aurara.

Might be worth pre-ordering Mysticat if you are interested in him(her?) incase it is some kind of error.

Edit: Lol have you seen the price of the Adventure pack

Yeah, last night the adventure pack was priced at £999. But they've fixed this now and it costs £24.97.
Gamestop seem to be the only place to pre-order the figures right now, so I think I'll get them from there.

Edit: I've just found out today Gamestop sent me an email saying they've cancelled my PS3 Crash Edition
This is what they said:

Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, this product will no longer be arriving into our warehouse.

Payments for this product have not been processed at this time and the payment authorizations will be cancelled.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused at this time.

Kind regards,

So now I've decided to order the regular PS3 version on GAME. I wonder why we're not getting the PS3 Crash Edition in the UK. Does anyone know the reason why?

Phew, am I glad I preordered the PS4 edition. The PS3 vers didn't get listed on the Smyths website at all. Not sure why we're not getting it though.

Has anyone seenany stores setting up or with stock yet? Just wondering because (of course) america has completely broken their street release date, so thought that things here might also be getting set up/out maybe.

^ Went into Game today. They said that they are gradually getting the stock in but didn't say what they had in.
Sainsburys in store is getting rid of Superchargers stock. £2.99 for both characters and vehicles.
Also, Battlecast battle packs are 89p. Booster packs 39p. Seriously!

Australia gets no PS3 DE. I wouldn't be surprised if the PS360 versions are axed in 7. *skedaddles serenely*

I remember a few years ago, we in the UK didn't get the Xbox One Dark Edition of Trap Team. So it's sad that this happens.

Just so everyone knows, the Creator App is out in the UK now.

Some of the Creation Crystals I ordered from Gamestop came today, but the Senseis have yet to arrive. Gamestop is still, as far as I'm aware, the only place with the figures up for order.

Happy hunting tomorrow everyone, good luck!

Only store that had any in was the Newcastle GAME, otherwise nowhere else even has a poster or logo.

Also in said GAME store there was only like one of each Sensei out because the boxes were so big (thankfully several of the Adventure Pack though).

Imaginators stock up on Argos now including an 8X crystal pack for £49.99! Senseis and adventure pack, and imaginite mystery chests for £5.99 which unlock random Skylander parts, all currently in stock to reserve but I have been checking since 4am this morning :-)
