re: Skylanders, Anyone?
Walmart currently has the Spring Editions in stock online - at the "regular" price.
They also have Lightcore Enchanted Star Strike for $14.96!?!?! OUCH!! WM now joins the gouging game??
I *know* I paid the "normal" $12.96 lightcore figure price in the store last weekend but I'm at work and don't have the receipt to double-check but I'll be giving it a second look tonight just to be sure.

The Spring figures arrived yesterday. My grandson *really* likes Springtime Trigger Happy - yes, even the color job. I commented on how "ugly" it was and he replied "I think he looks cool!" He lamented that I didn't get Fryno in the "Special package" indicating he'd leave it in the package to play with it. I think he's becoming a "collector"... I don't know if that's good or bad...

I have still never seen even one of these at either of our two Toys R Us stores. I'm happy enough with the one I got for 9 bucks and some change off of Amazon Warehouse.

Next week's Best Buy ad:
Combine that with the GCU discount and the $10 off coupon from McDonald's Happy Meals and you can get any starter kit for $22.
Skylanders Swap Force starter pack (PS3, PS4, Wii U, X1, 360, 3DS) = $39.99

If you don't have GCU, I believe it's half off at TRU this week (37.99), assuming you can still use the same coupon, 27.99.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
^I'm planning to do that very thing this afternoon...
**EDIT**
Just got back from a McD's/Game Stop run. The clerk wasn't sure if the coupon would work but he scanned it and the system took it without any problems. Out the door with a X-Box 360 Dark Starter for $54.49 - tax included. Add $3.48 for the Happy Meal and 2 miles @ ~$.15/mile for gas for a grand total of $58.27 and 15 minutes time.
AND... the toy in the Happy Meal was a *Chompy*!!
I can't decide if I want to show this to the kids today or sit on it a while... My grandson asks about every 2 weeks if I'm going to get a Dark set (he *really* wants one of these) to which I usually reply "not at the current price!"

I have finally managed to stop collecting the swap force figures. I just know it's going to be a pain trying to sell the unopened ones though. Although she just started playing Infinity again so hopefully this doesn't lead back into skylanders.

A gold/bronze Doom Stone variant is up for auction... looks like California is the source of the auction.

I'm ready for the new one. Swap Force is pretty much dead in this house. We didn't really even play with the new spring characters.

Are you really ready to spend hundreds of dollars to get the next game? After the first three and a having second child on the way right around the expected release time I am not so sure we will be getting it. They will really have to blow me away and it will likely get us to get the game only and be very selective about figures. Damn you Disney and Skylanders!

Yeah, I'm not sure I'm in for a 4th one. Having spent nearly $800 on this last go 'round, I really need to spend my $$$ on stuff that matters.
Like dsa_shea said, this one is really going to have to blow me away.

Yeah. I'm all in. I've made huge cuts in my comic book and movie hoarding and hunting down these Skylanders "for my son" fulfills my collecting needs. If I don't, I'll probably find myself starting up with Disney Infinity figures

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
i have no clue about Skylanders, but I figure I will know before too long. I have a 3 year old right now. Anyway, my question is, do all of the figures work with each new Skylander game? Or do you have to buy completely new figures when a new game is released?
