So here's the thing. I really really like Skylanders. But I have not the time nor the money to spend collecting SwapForce characters when I have not even started collecting the non-variants from Giants. Christmas is coming up and I was in GameStop today and noticed all of their Dark Edition starter packs. They also had tons and tons of both INfinity and SwapForce characters there. Now, if I were rich I'd buy them all at once and not think twice. But I don't understand how collectors can spend so much money on these toys, who don't even correspond to that great of a game. The target audience for Skylanders is too narrow.
Let's time travel back to 2007. UB Funkeys. Now, this game was pretty much just Skylanders before Skylanders existed. It was a PC game that required what was called a Hub and little vinyl characters that would be placed on it. When you did, that character would appear in your game and would unlock different areas and items within the game--just like Skylanders. But the thing about Funkeys is that when adults bought it for their kids, then sat down to play it with them, they got addicted too! Adults loved playing that game just as much as the kids. With Skylanders, the only adults who play are those who are obsessive collectors, who are really into "playing" with their kids, or who never grew up. Skylanders is by far a kids game. It's simple and childish--which I'm not saying is bad! It's just that it isn't reaching as wide a fan base as it could. What kinds of games do adults play on the computer? Card games? Gambling games? Relaxing zen games? Funkeys had mini games for every age group. From dominoes, to pinball, to racing, to boxing, to puzzles, to mah-jongg. They have something for everyone, as well as a multiplayer feature so that you could play and chat with other online users. They only reason I believe Funkeys did not survive was because it was only available as a PC game. Had they thought to develop it for any console games it would have been more successful than Skylanders before Skylanders was even thought of.
Also, if you have any suggestions for how to go about purchasing Skylanders for little to no money, do tell. I am still interested in completing my collection. That is all.

Skylanders Frito Lay Contest
So there is a new contest going on that ends at the end of the year for Frito Lay. This time they are giving away a GITD Rattle Shake. This contest doesn't run the same as the sidekicks contests. It is more like the Fright Rider one. You only have to buy one bag of chips, and the code is on the outside of the bag. This is because you can use the code as many times as you want.
A lot of people had trouble finding the code. It could be anywhere on the front of the bag. On some, there is a white box with a barcode thing in it on the top left, and it is in there. On others, like the one I have, it is near the bottom next to the expiration date. It is really hard to see because it is black text and it is kind of distorted. If you can't find it you can just look one up online.
So the way it works is that you go on the website and fill out your email and code, then click submit and it will redirect you to a screen letting you know if you one or not. It is not the code that lets you win, but instead it is a random time every 15 minutes. Sad part is you can only use the same email once per day. I'd say the best strategy is to get 15 emails that you have access to. The, fill out your info and don't click submit until the very second when the clock changes the minute, and be prepared to do this every minute for 15 minutes. That gives you the best chance, I believe.
I have not won one yet though, so what do I know?
In other news, I got the Halloween edition of Eye-Brawl. It's pretty cool. I also pre-ordered Swap Force so that I could get the Lightcore Hex, then returned the actual starter pack the next day :P I didn't want to spend that much at the time. I still might not. I might just finish up my Giants collection and then let it be. It's getting too expensive. Now that I have a job and am making my own money, I am more reluctant to just go spend tons of money on Skylanders.... (she says as she just finishes up buying $80.00 worth of U.B. Funkeys for herself for Christmas)

Infinity Release
So I started college on August 17th. The day before Disney's Infinity was to be released. On the second day of college I took a trip to NYC. Unbeknownst to me, there was a big event going on in Time Square for the release of Infinity! And I was there! Here is a picture of them setting up the display:
Unfortunately I could not stay for more than a few minutes as I was with a group of students for orientation. :( I'm also sorry this post took so long. Being in college has made me exhausted and frankly I didn't have the time. But now that I'm so close to NYC you will definitely see more of this kind of stuff. Like when I go to Comic Con!!
Here's a picture I didn't take. Looks like I was there way before the crowd was...

All Characters and Packs in Swap Force at Walmart!!
Edit: Walmart has since removed these links from all the traffic they were getting and now the figures, both released and unreleased, are on different, inconsistent webpages. If you want to find them, go to a skylander that you know is on there and mess around with the numbers at the end of the url.
Posted this on darkspyro earlier, but they took all the links down since then for some reason. They had the names of every swap force package they will be carrying. Visit this link to see the forum thread.

Okay so I just found all of these as well on Walmart.com not available for pre-order but at least we can know the names of all the packs:

All Four Sidekicks

Gnarly Tree Rex and Giants Sidekicks
So I got back from my vacation in new Hampshire and returned to find I had gotten Eye Small and Thumpling in the mail. Still waiting on the other two. However, when I was in NH I found a single pack of Gnarly Tree Rex for $15.
It was the last one (and possibly the only one ever) there. I was staring at the rack for a good 5 minutes before the cashier picked it up and handed it to me and said "This is really rare, you want it? We just got it this morning." Hell yeah I want it! They had been open for only about a half hour at the time I was there, but there was also this young kid there who asked his mom for it but she told him that she didn't have enough money and that if they came back later and it was still there she'd get it for him. Oh well for that kid. Sucks to suck. It's mine now.

They had been open for only about a half hour at the time I was there, but there was also this young kid there who asked his mom for it but she told him that she didn't have enough money and that if they came back later and it was still there she'd get it for him. Oh well for that kid. Sucks to suck. It's mine now.

Skylanders Giants Sidekicks
Recently bought 4 bags of frito lay chips at Walmart. When I tried getting my free Skylanders I ran into some problems. First of all, they are doing the promotion online this year instead of mail-ins. So I went through and filled out all of my info and what skylander sidekick I wanted for my first bag. Then it took me to where you pay. Well since I don't have a credit card I went and asked my mom to do it for me and she said to wait til after dinner. Well long story short, my paypal session timed out, and when I went to resubmit my info it said that that code had already been used, even though I never paid. So we called customer service, which went surprisingly fast, and they told us that they could fix it, but they needed to give time for the paypal payment to go through their system as an error and that it could take up to 4 days. So I just went through and got my other 3 sidekicks and I'll try the fourth in a few days.

Skylanders: Swap Force
Maybe you've heard that a new Skylanders game is being released November of 2013... Well yeah. Yipee. Anyway, this game features new characters that have swappable torsos and bottoms. The game also has a new portal you'll have to get, but it is backwards compatible with the old figures. You can look up more on darkspyro.net or www.skylanders.com/swapforce.
In other news, I'm going to the store today to try and find Molten Hot Dog. Maybe even a Jade Flashwing, Polar Whirlwind, or Scarlet Ninjini. Wish me luck!

Wow
I'm sorry to say that ever since I decided to wait for the end of the season to buy the Skylanders bundle, I have forgotten about this website.... I will say that I have bought all of the exclusive characters that you can only get at certain stores (i.e. the legendaries, golden dragonfire cannon, etc.); I also got a giant and two series 2 characters for my birthday. Other than that though, I haven't even thought about Skylanders.....
In the meantime, however, this site got over 31,000 views in 1 month!!! I can't even fathom that. That's incredible! I understand it was December, the holiday month, but still I'm very grateful to have so many people who visit my site! So for that, I thank you. Currently its views are about 57,800. Keep it up! I promise I'll post when important sh-tuff goes down. :)
