I was expecting a price increase for the characters. £12.99 isn't that bad though. With any luck, certain places may be cheaper. GAME seems to have a habit of having the highest prices.


Also: Tesco seems to have a lot of stock of Steampunk Shrednaught (or at least my nearest one did). Don't know how long stocks wwill last, so I'd recommend getting it soon if you want it.

Thanks for the links. I think I'll pass on preordering online as it says 'due to be shipped on 25th September' which means it won't arrive in time for release. I'll just go to Tesco at 5am like I did last year to ensure that I get everything.

Another update for us uk users, it appears the nitro exclusives line has switched yet again. This time Smyths have them.Nitro Stealth Stinger
Release: 25th September 2015
Price: £14.99

Judging by the wording in description it would appear smyths have permanent exclusivity to the Nitro series.

Also Amazon have dive clops listed for release on 15th? September 2015. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Skylan...rs+supercharger

EDIT: Just noticed something interesting In the description under box contains it says:
"Single Toy includes: 1 Skylanders and 1 Sticker Sheet featuring character stats"

On a daily basis i've been keeping an eye on uk sites and i've got more to share today!

GAME - Have now listed combo packs and a MEGA combo pack.
Dive Clops + Dive Bomber - £24.99 http://www.game.co.uk/en/dive-...064&catGroupId=
Stormblade + Sky Slicer - £24.99 http://www.game.co.uk/en/storm...064&catGroupId=
Fiesta + Crypt Crusher - £24.99 http://www.game.co.uk/en/fiest...064&catGroupId=
All the above items in 1 - £79.99 http://www.game.co.uk/en/super...064&catGroupId=
Should help save some cash, though the mega bundle is overpriced by £5

No stores have confirmed any midnight releases that i'm aware of. Though if you have a Tesco Extra store nearby they should be open throughout the release night, but i would'nt be sure they'd be stocking skylanders at that time in the night, then again what would I know as I've not hunted for skylanders in the middle of the night. Much prefer to have a good sleep and go hunting in the morning.

I got Trap Team from a 24 hour Tesco Extra but only at around 7.30am, and only because someone else was asking for it and I impulse-bought it.

They were only just stocking the shelves at that time so I'd be surprised if anything was our at midnight.

Can't find anywhere that has Frightful Fiesta up for pre-order, my only guess is that he may be released next month to coincide with Halloween, what store, I've no clue. Game is technically our counterpart to Gamestop, but aside from Dark editions, their exclusives aren't a guarantee.

In my searches however, I have found that coolshop has the Sea racing pack for £10 less than regular retail price, which is pretty good. They also appear to have the Dark starters for slightly less than what game is charging (but no Wii U version. Seems like that may be completely sold out as Game no longer has it available either)

We already knew this, perhaps you missed the page that came before?
Still no show of Frightful Fiesta but i'd assume GAME will have it, Toys R Us are likely to update their site early tomorrow morning and we know they'll have the legendaries.

Oh and something has popped up online that everyone is gonna love.
Argos has 3 for 2 on all toys til Tuesday, assuming Skylanders Superchargers is included we all know where our 1st stop will be smilie

My local tesco extra FINALLY put out steampunk shrednaught. Was about to consider eBay too. Was hoping GAME preorders would be delivered today seeing as I got my dispatch email last week. Not looking good now though. Wanted to collect all traps but unless there are some amazing sales that hit down it isn't looking good either. Looks like my collectors instinct is fading. Despite being prepared to buy a tonne of starter packs this year :S

If it helps the Smyths catalogue showed the dual packs with the other release stuff, so that is a positive sign for those on release.

When I asked all the advertised packs are released tomorrow, including the nitro stealth stinger at Smyths.
Edit Stock is in sitting in the back. Not allowed to release early.
Nothing free with preorders this time around it would seem.

I've hit up Tesco, TRU and Smyths today.

No sign of Smash Hit (or Steel Plated version), High Volt or Nightfall

Legendary Jet Vac was in plentiful supply in TRU, but can't recall whether I saw Jet Stream anywhere.

Managed to find two XB1 Starter Packs with Golden Hot Streak in them. One in Tesco and one in TRU. Couldn't see any in PS4 packs or any other Starter Packs (although most of the PS4 packs in Smyths were out of reach).

Not disappointed that we lose out on half of wave 2 - we did so well last year getting the whole second wave before the U.S.! Oh well. Makes the launch selection seem thin on the ground.

Love the new Gill Grunt. He's the first repose of him I like!

Nice haul bob. Bummer about the starter no show.

I've gone a bit mad today, bought starter packs for wii u, 3ds, wii u dark, wii dark, ps4 dark and xbox one starter for the gold car.

I have the three variants (pictured above), and all of wave one with some from 2 I think and sea racing pack turning up tomorrow.

My wallet hurts, my wife doesn't approve however will spend 850 on a dog. Beggers belief.

So is Golden Hot Streak a variant exclusive to a particular version then? I've been totally out of the loop this time around.

Hoping Toys R Us will hurry up and put the Jet Vac online; nearest one is two hours away.

Not as successful as I hoped but not too bad.
Hit my local tescos early (too early) one had nothing and even searched their delivery. The other had wave 1 figures, wave 2 vehicles and the racing pack, no copies of the game had been put out so couldn't check for golden hot rods. No sign of steel plated smash hit either.
After work checked TRU for goldens (nothing). They at least had wave one in full so picked up some priority bits and the legendary.
Game didn't have anything that wasn't in TRU other than the dark parks and knew nothing about the goldens.
Checking out Smyths tomorrow.

Todays haul:
Racing pack
Terrafin and shark tank (bought separate, no double packs)
Fiesta and crypt cruiser
Sea shadow
Leg jet vac
Dark wii version on route in the mail.
