Has anyone here ordered Sheep Wreck Island and Arkeyan Crossbow off of Amazon.de and if they did, how long did it take for anyone to get them in? I would like to know and all I here from my order is that it hasn't shipped yet and hasn't even charged me yet. I just would like to hear some input so I don't screw up my order or my card.

Did you get a confirmation letter from your order? I would expected some delays probably with the holidays, and the weekend depending on when you actually finalized the order. If nothing else you could call Amazon's customer service and try and see if they can give you any ideas. US Shipping itself should be something around 8-12 business days I think from what the site itself advises in its help section, not counting any unexpected delays. Christmas is over now, so most of those should be over with.

I ordered both adventure packs and light cores.. Confirmation email of order and delivery date is 1/8/2014. My credit card has been charged as well.

Mine are due Jan 3 to the 8 everything I have ordered has taken 8 to 12 days to get here in Ohio. I have never had any problems, Use google chrome it translates 85% so you can see whats going on. You get an order confirm then you get an expected shipping date that it arrives. Good luck both of mine will be here any day now. I ordered the 2 new lightcores and had then in 6 days. They came the day after Christmas. Go LC Wham and LC Countdown they are cool. Good luck....

I ordered one LC and the Battle Pack on Amazon.de, and the other LC and the Adventure pack from Amazon.it. I haven't gotten them yet, but they're due to arrive the 31st to the 3rd, so I should have them soon. I didn't have any trouble ordering, and like other users have said, just use Chrome, it translates everything.

Just for grins I ordered all 4 items from Amazon.de. Says 1/13 - 1/17 for delivery. We shall see.... I hope it's not another Scarlett Ninjini debacle. ;-)

After factoring shipping, conversion rates, and all applicable fees, how much more does it end up costing to buy from Europe?

I bought them from Amazon.it and got them in two days with Express Delivery.

Its about 1 EUR = 1.38 US on the market right now, so ...

Sheep Wreck Island via Amazon.De = EUR 24.99, so about $34.52 US. Crossbow is the same price. Shipping rates likely to vary on how you choose to buy it. But the math should be fairly easier to figure out.

I am glad 1 Euro translates to £0.84

I bought the Sheepwreck and Crossbow packs as well as Rubble Rouser, Spy Rise, Stink Bomb and Lightcore Wham-Shell and it cost $140.00. So anywhere from $30-40 more than what I'd pay for the same things in the States. After the last few days I've had trying to find just the three SF guys it was well worth it. I probably spent $30 or more in gas alone looking for these guys, now I just have to wait for them to show up at my door. I wish I would have done this sooner quite honestly, it's worth the extra money just to know I don't have to be constantly on the hunt to find them any more.

Ya, I hear ya. A lot of times, people don't factor in time and effort (and gas/mileage) when calculating costs. $30-$40 really isn't a big deal, considering the time and headache it saves you. Especially since you can always earn more money, but you can never get time back.

Well I did get the email that does show I did get the order and according to my listings, it will take from Jan. 11 to Jan. 16 so I guess I'll just wait and see if anything happens. Also in case anyone wants to know so they can order them, my total was $65.71 after converting from euros. Also now it actually says it should be here on Jan.8 so never mind there aren't anymore problems here.

I didn't bother ordering the lightcores (Wham Shell--already have, Countdown--already have), and Arkeyan Battle Pack (Grim Reaper--already have two, Camo--already have)...will wait until these guys are local to "complete" wave 3. It was more important to secure the sheep adventure pack and swappers.

I ordered LC Wham, LC Countdown, Arkeyan Crossbow, and Sheep Wreck from Amazon.de on December 20th. The LC's showed up on the 28th, and the Arkeyan Crossbow and Sheep Wreck showed up today, the 31st.

So, 11 days to get both orders from Amazon.de. I live in Oklahoma.

I decided to give this a go and ordered Sheep Wreck Island and Arkeyan Crossbow packs. Might seem impatient but I'm weighing in the gas and the time spent on the hunt.

I ordered battle pack, adventure pack, LC Whamshell and LC Countdown from amazon.de today, the total was €60, packs are €21 each, Whamshell is €8.40, LC Countdown is €10 - all is slightly cheaper than they are listed on amazon.de when you are shipping overseas (no VAT I think). Shipping is €6. Delivery date is Jan 14-18.

So €66 = $94. If I try to buy it here in US, it would be 25+25+13+13 = 76 + tax 8% in my area = $83.

For $10 more it is no brainer for me. I definitely will spend more on gas to find these skylanders.

^ Same exact as this except I ordered on the 24th of December at 1:40 pm (Central Time) and it said estimated delivery January 10th-15th. It shipped on the 27th of December in two orders, one with the battle pack, adventure pack and LC Countdown and another with just Whamshell. Both now have an expected delivery date of January 7th 2014 I'll let you know if I get it that day!

Delivery was scheduled for 1/8/2014.. I received the Sheep Wreck Adventure Pack with Wind Up today !

Looks like fun crstofer

My son and I will be playing both adventure packs this weekend.

Wind up looks very fun to me. If I had the money I would order it from Amazon right now.

He is fun and does some damage. The weird thing is he needs to be wound up like a clock. You have to tap A button to make his spring wind up when he runs down he is slower than a turtle on a hot day. He is funny and makes me laugh.

I got my Arkeyan Crossbow Battle Pack, Sheep Wreck Island Adventure Pack, and my Lightcore Countdown today through USPS on the 7th which is the day of estimated delivery. I didn't receive Light Core Wham Shell which was in a seperate shipment and was also estimated for today. But I'm excited to try out Wind Up!
