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.

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 smilie

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

€ 1,00 is about £0.80

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

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 smilie

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.

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.

Many thanks,

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.
