Yep, this is what I did. In fact, I returned my Golden Dragonfire Cannon battle pack and put the money on this one instead. I was waiting for the lightcore Shroomboom so I never opened it. I don't need the rest of the stuff in the Scorpion pack either but my son really, really wants Hot Dog and this is the only way to get it for a while, anyway. I'm sure it will sell better than the cannon pack did just because of that.

If by "last year" you meant 8-12 months ago, then, yeah, Boomer was everywhere. But it has been pretty scarce for 4-6 months now, which is when Darkside Hazuki said his son just started getting into Skylanders. But, yeah, before that it was the "trash" Skylander than no one wanted . I remember seeing Best Buy shelves in Jan/Feb last year with nothing but Boomer on them.
