Re-asking. Got WM to return & rebuy. $27 is an amazing deal for the starter set, but if I have the 360 version, is the PS4 version worth that small price for an upgrade?

I think that the graphics are an upgrade. It might not be a ton but I did notice some difference right away. It runs natively in 1080p on the new systems and it does make a difference. You would also get 3 extra figures and a spare portal in case something happens to the other one. I got my PS4 copy for free from Amazon after having bought both the PS3 and the 3DS versions back on release day.

This is an online deal too. I just checked... but the shipping ($7.99) kills it. :( Unless you can get it over $50.

It's been that deal all week (it's in their ad). Ends sat night.

BB's premier silver early bf deal started. I ended up ordering the majority of the single swap force figures they had in stock. It's b2g1 free for all their singles. You also get 20% off if you're a gamer unlocked member so ~$24 for 3 of the big guys before tax is pretty good. Too bad they don't have much in stock...

^Yeah... I was in the store here last week and it was *very* slim pickin's. They had *none* of the second wave and *lots* of Free Ranger. I'd say that figure accounted for at least half the inventory on the shelves. Could this one be like Swarm of Giants in that they are *everywhere* to the point of being discounted to ~$6?

Thanks for the "heads up" on that one! I went ahead and picked up the 3 Adventure Packs they have as "spares". Those and a couple of the 3-packs are available online. Now I just need to find somewhere that has a few copies of Darklight Crypt for a reasonable price!

For those who may be interested - that link is for the X-Box version. They also have the one for the PS3 at the same price. There are none I could find for the Wii or DS consoles.

*EDIT to correct information**

Amazon has all the Swap Force characters on a B2G1 deal until 1pm PST today. This is *not* a LD but a normal sell through. Put 3 in your cart and check out. One will be free. BUT you have to do separate orders for each group of 3.

They didn't have Smolderdash... otherwise I would have done it. :(

^I considered cancelling my last order from TRU but when I checked it had already shipped (man they are *fast* this year - order to shipping in ~36 hours). Those 3 Adventure Packs ease the pain a bit...

I used the B2G1 to get the last 6 of the new, non lightcore, figures I've not already purchased elsewhere:

Zoo Lou (have the Legendary and was on the fence on the regular one but the deal cinched it)
Slobertooth
Scorp
Magna Charge
Hoot Loop
Night Shift

I was on the fence for the regular versions of those swappable ones too since I've already purchased the store exclusives/alternate version of them but for $10 each shipped...

I still can't bring myself to purchase the Lightcore figures unless, like Legendary Lightcore Grimm, they are a store exclusive or alternate version of the "regular" lightcore figure.

If anyone is still interested in Legendary Bouncer, it's $9.59 at TRU now, and can be used with the B1G1 40% off online offer.

Right back at ya with the heads-up on Legendary Bouncer.

I'm giving my grandson Giants for the 3DS for Christmas and may get him a few Legendaries he can take home since several of the others are on sale as well:

Legendary Trigger Happy - $5.99
Legendary Chill Light Core - $7.99
Legendary Stealth Elfe - $6.99
Legendary 3-Pack w/Ignitor, Slam Bam, and Jet-Vac - $10.00!

Legendary Trigger Happy and the 3-Pack are store pickup only though... bummer for me as there's no store close by but the other two are shipping or store pickup - BUT they are *not* part of the B1G1 40% off sale... :(

Yeah, I grabbed one earlier today. Got the boy too many figures for Xmas already, but that seemed like too good a stocking stuffer to pass on.
