There's a new frito lay promotion for skylanders giants now.

http://profile.skyla...kyfrito/agegate

Buy the bag of chips like last years promotion and you get a card/code for an entry to try to win a free hot head giants figure and you also get a coupon for $5 off a skylanders giants startert pack

[Velo214]

my kids loves those minis, tho they were essentially useless. Whisper Elf etc

[apterous]

D'oh. Last year you got a sidekick figure. This year you get a sweepstakes entry? Not feeling the love, Frito-Lay.

[Kerig]

The sidekicks promo wasn't last year, it was a few months ago (offered in the summer, arrived in the mail at the beginning of September). I still see bags at the store with the sidekicks offer on it, but I'm sure that deal has long dried up.

[shadowkast]

Contests and free stuff?

[Toss]

I just received my elf mini today! Only 1 more to go.

What did the sidekicks do or function as?

They run around you like liittle puppies - and do absolutely nothing. Yet my kids always insist that one be on the portal at all times .

Gotcha, thanks.

[AoA]

I still haven't gotten mine. I hope my kids forget as we might not be getting them at all or maybe if I'm lucky they can magically appear under the tree.

[Kerig]

Oh, I think the OP is referencing the Flocked Stump Smash from before, not the sidekicks promo. The former had a code and a phone number you would call to try and win.

They actually do do something: they get in the goddamn way. Even after realizing that they are completely useless, I still kept one around just because I thought it was cool, but then I realized that the little bastard was blocking my shots! It's probably not an issue with a melee character or one who lobs attacks, but for Trigger Happy, it was a huge annoyance. On the bright side, I sold one of my sets for $100 on eBay. Still contemplating whether or not I should sell the other. After releasing Giants and re-releasing all of the original characters with new poses and making even more stupid variants, I no longer have any interest in trying to collect them. I mean, I still like them and all, but they're not worth the hassle anymore.

Got my mail in code today. Just played it and won Hot Head. Cant beat that for 45 cents.

[grrouchie]

I never got my Flocked Stump Smash.
I only got 3 of the 6 Mini's that I was supposed to get. (they did cash all the checks though).

I give up on Frito because I think I'm cursed when it comes to their Skylander stuff.

I have yet to see any specially marked bags that have a code since this thread has been posted. :/

Just saw one while on break at work today...

[Waru]

Just picked up one of those bags at Winco and entered the code.

Says I won Hot Head

[Arakias]

Congrats

PRIZE DETAILS/ODDS: Prizes (3,024): One (1) Skylanders Spyro's Adventure® character. Character type at Sponsor's sole discretion. Approximate Retail Value ("ARV"): $14.99 each

[my2k2zx2]

The Hot Head that I won was delivered today.

[Navex]

Yeah, this never came into my area apparently and that blows since I live in the immediate tri-state area here. Oh well, was never a chip fan anyway.

[apterous]

I saw these on shelf once ever. They probably ran out of figures or something.

[Robert Conley]

Never even saw the bags with the entry cards until after the promotion was over. This really should have lasted for more than a month.

[my2k2zx2]

I still havent seen the bags either, I just mailed envelopes for entries.
