I haven't played with it yet, but my kids say that the character glows in game when in dark areas.

That's cool! I guess it's time to open one of the two we have and check it out.

No need to open it, you can put the package on the portal.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?

Well, I won 2 and stopped trying. When we eventually get these, I will only need one for my son. I'd be willing to send one of mine to someone here, a regular poster of this thread. I'll figure out a way to do it when the time comes.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?

I won once and quit. I figured (perhaps correctly) that they had a certain number of these and would probably give them all away early in the contest. I haven't received my figure yet and because I had to leave my address on a voice mail recording, I'm not sure if I'll ever get it at all.

You won't get it for a while. They are only sending them out weeks after the promo ends in Sept., iirc.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?

Guys, check your emails. I received a strange text only email from Frito Lay. The email is a link to a website called rewardpromo.com

The email read
CONGRATULATIONS!

You were identified as a potential winner of a Skylanders® Fire Bone Hot Dog "Treasure Hunt" character in the 2014 Frito-Lay/Skylanders® Fire Bone Hot Dog Instant-Win Game, pending verification.

Please go to 2014 Frito-Lay/Skylanders® Fire Bone Hot Dog Instant-Win within 15 days to redeem your prize.

On behalf of Frito-Lay, Inc., thanks for participating in the promotion!

If you have any additional questions, please call 1-888-368-2673 between 8 am and 8 pm ET Sunday through Saturday.
I thought it was a phishing email and website at first. Filled out my info and sure enough, a crystal fire bone Hot Dog with a green bone came in the mail. I haven't won anything through the blippar app.

Today's mail brought a Purple and Red Fire Bone Hotdog figure. That's 2 of the 3 I won early in the process doing the phone in method. Those are really cool looking!

That's what I thought too so it was a surprise when those were in the mailbox. Since I won 3 days in a row I kind of wondered why the 3rd one wasn't there as well but figure it'll show up next week.

I think Decker won the first day I won one of these so I'm surprised his hasn't arrived - but I live ~70 miles from Memphis which I think is the distribution center for shipping these.

Our third Firebone Hot Dog win arrived today. Another Red one.

According to USPS tracking info it came out of (or through) Fishers, IN (part of Indianapolis) which blows my Memphis distribution center supposition.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?

I got a email from GameStop today announcing 2 "GameStop Exclusive Eon's Elite Skylanders" - Spyro and Chop Chop.



Spyro is available for pre-order at $24.99 plus tax and shipping and comes out 11/1/14.

According to the blurb "These limited edition Skylanders are decorated in shiny metallic armor and are 3x more powerful in-game. The Eon's Elite Skylanders come in a special 3D lenticular diorama collector display case. "

IMHO the price is kind of high. I couldn't bring myself to drop ~$31 (with tax/shipping) on this considering it *should* be in the stores at some time...

$25? Gees. They are pushing the limits on these things.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?

Yeah, too rich for my blood.

Honestly, I think we're out now. My son doesn't seem interested in Skylanders any more and I can't rightly collect figures and play it without him. He hasn't even opened some of the more recent figures I've gotten him.
Shame since it was fun to hunt and collect figures with him when he was into it. Now it's all Minecraft and I don't enjoy that at all (though admittedly it's a LOT cheaper for me).
