Since there's a thread for Skylanders in the UK, I though I'd create one for Australia, since I see alot of topics pop up of this nature. Basically, post here what you have seen in stores, what your favourite stores are, what you've recently bought, and what you want. Please be respectful in your dealings with others here!

As for me, I'm aiming to get the Drobot - Flameslinger - Stump Smash Pack 3 next, since I just need a Life and a Fire element to help me complete the game. I'm also keeping my eye out for a single of Eruptor, who I have only ever seen in a 3pack, and also looking for a 3-pack of Boomer, Voodood and Prism Break, since I have not seen them in Adelaide at all. I'm also still yet to see Dragon's peak, but I'm not worrying about that just yet.

I could give you all of those except Stump Smash and Dragons Peak (still searching)

Any way, Target is a good store to go to if you need Skylanders, Big W is bad and EBgames hardly orders them at all.
I recently got Cynder and Whirlwind from Target.

Actually, I've found Big W to be excellent in terms of Skylanders. I've gotten my Cynder, my Bash and my Dino-Rang/Hex/Zap 3-pack from there. K-Mart however... well, I've only ever seen K-Mart having stocked about 3 single packs behind their electronics counter... which is kinda lame really but oh well. But hey, I had no idea that Dick Smith stocked Skylanders! I'll have to check that out.

Does anyone know if the Australian TRUs have Legendary Trigger Happy? My closest is a fair way away from me up in the hills.

Well actually K mart Target and big w are the best the ones at noarlunga big w had all of the wave 3 singles, K mart had the WHOLE back of the game section filled with them and at marion target they always have skylanders up for grabs and TRU never gets stocked in Australia

I have been too busy to check TRU for a week+ but last time I talked to them, they still had their heads up their proverbials wrt SL and stocking anything at all.

One TRU would say that they thought they would get stock but another would respond negatively.

For the most recent wave I have found Target to be the place for expansions (including Dragon's Peak) and JB Hifi for singles/3 packs.

They sell them at JB's too? Wow, I feel like such a noob for not knowing that. I feel like catching the bus down to Marion right now and going on a big hunt - but I've got darn uni to catch up on.

And Themrmusicman14, I saw that big display at Big W Colonades. Sadly I've been back there recently and it's been turfed back to the electronics for their easter display. They still have a good range, though, and I also saw an excellent range of 3-packs at Big W Hallet Cove if anyone lives down South Adelaide and wants to check that out.

I was fortunate enough to find my first Wham-Shell yesterday afternoon at a Big W on the Central Coast of New South Wales.

Because of their scarcity, I purchased the remaining four Wham-Shells that were available and have placed them on eBay.

I have not seen any Warnado's or Camo's in the area that I live in, nor have I ever seen any Crystal, Silver or Gold Skylanders in Australian stores.

I was just recently in Hobart, Tassie, and every store that sells these figures had dragons peak. I also bought my DP in Rocky yesterday. But I do find that Big W has the most SL. Does anyone think that they will keep releasing old SL? Because I haven't seen any wave 1 since the new waves came out.

^ When Cynder was released, there were Chop Chops and Flameslingers GALORE and I've also seen lots of Drobots and Stealth Elfs around too.

ANYWAY, I just came back from Target in Southport Park on the Gold Coast in Queensland, and here is what I found:

Just out of curiosity, has anyone found Camo or Warnado in Australia anywhere? I picked up a Wham-Shell the other day luckily, but haven't seen Camo, Warnado or DP anywhere. I also can't seem to find an Eruptor single pack ANYWHERE.

I'm not quite sure if there are any Camos or Warnados in Australia - it seems that America got those two and we got Wham-Shell. I'm waiting for the 3-pack with Ignitor anyway, since it's cheaper.

Still can't find Eruptor anywhere!

I sucessfully found Eruptor yesterday after a reasonably long search. I also saw Camo at both Target Adelaide and JBHi-Fi West Lakes, but didn't buy him because I'm waiting for his 3 pack, since you basically get 3 Skylanders for the price of 2.

I haven't seen any Whammy since my lucky find in Big W that tme, but I did see Dragon's Peak at quite a few places at Marion yesterday, as well as both Camo and Warnado in JB's there.

Also it turns out I was wrong about Dick Smiths not stocking Skylanders anymore. I walked in there yesterday morning and there was a HUGE cart of Skylanders ready to be unloaded. You should have seen how wide my eyes were!

Oh and by the way, if anyone sees the 3pack with Camo and Warnado in it anywhere in Adelaide, could you give me a shout? It's the last 3 pack I need. Then it's just 3 single packs, the adventure packs, and I'm done!

There seems to be a lot of Chop chop, Hex and Drill Sergent in Target and Kmart. And I saw Empire of Ice and a few triple packs in EB games.
