My apologies, but £15 off the Skylander Giants Starter Pack seems to be an absolute con:

All versions in Toys R Us are £52.89:
http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Toys-R-Us/Video-Games/Games/Wii-Skylanders-Giants-Starter-Pack(0100075))
http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Toys-R-Us/Video-Games/Games/Xbox-360-Skylanders-Giants-Starter-Pack(0100076))
http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Toys-R-Us/Video-Games/Games/Xbox-360-Skylanders-Giants-Starter-Pack(0100076))

It appears, that they've put the price of the Starter Packs up by about £15 before the promotion starts.

Elsewhere:
Zavvi: £40.98 - £11.91 cheaper
Asda: £35 - £17.98 cheaper
Play.com: £35 to 38 - £17 to £15 cheaper
365games.co.uk - £32.99 - almost £20 cheaper
Gameseek.co.uk - £34.75 + £3.99 postage - £14 cheaper
Amazon - around £34 - £18.98 cheaper

£18 off is a little better and makes it comparable with online prices.

Here are what I believe to be the cheapest for each version:

Xbox Version at £32.99 delivered from https://www.365Games.co.uk :
http://www.365games.co.uk/xbox-360-games/skylanders-giants-starter-pack-game-xbox-360

Nintendo 3DS at £49.89 - £18 voucher = £31.89 from Toy R Us (Good Price)
(£34.99 at 365games)

Wii Version at £34.00 delivered from Tesco.com (or Amazon at £34):
http://www.tesco.com/direct/skylanders-giants-starter-pack-wii/541-5126.prd

Wii U version at £52.89 - £18 voucher = £34.89 from Toy R Us

PS3 version at £27.85 from Amazon! Grabbit!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Skylanders-Giants-Starter-Pack-PS3/dp/B008KHDF02


And after all this, bear in mind that new Skylanders Swap Force is out on 18th October to further milk money from you as these Skylanders will come with interchangable parts... :eek:

Also seen on HDUK that PS3 and Xbox versions may be only £24.99 at Morrisons in-store - can anyone check and confirm?

last week skylander starter pack on the wii was only £30 in toys r us as checked price when saw deal , think its a little unfair they have boosted the prices up so dramatically

and as soon as the new game comes out, the price of the Skylanders Giants will drop. I dread to think how much money I have spent on Skylanders (mainly for Xmas and Birthdays for my sons) They have already asked for the new game for xmas...
