Thanks for the heads up. I'll try my local TRU and see if they have any more.The original adventure packs and three packs from SSA are $9.99 again at TRU again. I should go back to see if those Boomer three packs are still there.
Care to share this method?ajh2298 said:Found a way to use the "Sky Diamond" in Woodburrow to get easy money for upgrades. I spent most of yesterday using it to upgrade most of my sons Swap Force guys. Feel like a big loser wasting my day off doing it.

Sorry starts tomorrow till the 20th got it in a "Hot Deals" e-mail from them.Thanks for the heads up. I'll try my local TRU and see if they have any more.
EDIT: I don't see any confirmation of this price online. Do you happen to have a link?
Interesting - I guess you could have 2 people do that at the same time on 2 different dummies, right? We don't so much need money for upgrades, but it is nice to get for buying all the hats and stuff from the merchant in Woodburrow.ajh2298 said:
Yep you do it with two characters at once. At one point today I was controlling two guys at the same time by myself to make it go faster.Interesting - I guess you could have 2 people do that at the same time on 2 different dummies, right?

Magna Charge is my personal favorite. He's fast and has a gun for an arm.Anybody have any opinions on which guys play the best? I have been using Free Ranger and Fire Kracken a lot. Is there any characters that have good ranged attacks?
I wish I could find a Boomer 3-pack, especially for $10. Although I don't have any money, right now, and my son spent all his Christmas money (and a $5 rewards I had) on new swappers. I kept hoping to get some more rewards dollars after spending so much at Christmas, there, but no luck. I tried to get in on the wish list gift card where they sent you a $10 gift card if $100 was purchased from the wish list. I knew what we were going in to pick up on Thanksgiving and I went and added it all to my son's wish list the day before. When I went to look at the wish list afterwards, though, none of that stuff made it. Apparently, the person who we gave the scanner to didn't upload it into the system or something. I tried contact support about it, but they weren't very helpful. They just went back and added everything from my receipt to the wish list and said it would work out in the end, but I'm pretty sure it had to be on the list before so it would show as purchased on the wish list. I haven't heard anything about it or any rewards dollars that I normally get from what I spent during the holidays. Not sure if they've sent them out, yet or not. Or maybe they're not doing the 10% back, this year. I can't remember if I saw anything or not.The original adventure packs and three packs from SSA are $9.99 again at TRU again.

Manga Charge is pretty good, reminds me of bouncer. I like Star Strike, her ranged attack is good, if you spin as it returns, you can volley it back out again, and it gains power the more you do it.Anybody have any opinions on which guys play the best? I have been using Free Ranger and Fire Kracken a lot. Is there any characters that have good ranged attacks?
It's a new figure. It's just a special S2 Gill Grunt. I don't know why they chose to do a special version of a Giants figure, not less a repose from Giants, but that's what it is. I'm wondering how it registers in Swap Force, though. Apparently, the Frito Lay promo Fright Rider was an orange base as well, but registers in Swap Force as a blue base (I assume in the achievements that count the number of figures you have of each type).I got an email for the free Gill Grunt, I didn't even know about the promo. From the color of the base, it looks like it's a figure from Giants. Is this an old promo/figure?
I'm going for a platinum this time around and the upgrades are nice for tackling the levels on Nightmare difficulty. I play with my 4 year-old daughter so lots and lots of characters die (or she drops out before a big fight and I go it alone). Some characters are good for that, and some are horrible. Pop Thorn is pretty good since you can spam the attack button while avoiding getting hit - he has homing missiles that will hit whatever is near you without having to aim (so it will hit enemies that chase you). I end up doing a lot of the levels with him. Though any swappable with a ranged attack is good to use too.SaraAB said:Also that makes it like the RPG games that give you all the best equipment at the very end, when you are almost done with the game... pointless.. upgrade early folks.
I've never really paid any attention to Walgreens clearance but I guess it is crazy YMMV like Walmart and such. I went to a different store tonight and their "Last Chance" clearance was $13.49 for Giants figures (which they claim are $17.99 normally). So, yeah, she had a lucky find on that $2.74 Countdown figure. The regular figs were $10.99 at the store I went to. Still, it is probably worth checking out if you happen to be near one.io said:On the shopping front, my wife came home today with a Countdown she bought at Walgreens on clearance for $2.74. I didn't even know Walgreens sold Skylanders. She said that was the only clearance one left but it looked like they had had many more.
I thought that was their normal deal. It was promoted on "Skylanders Day" as buy $20 and get a free mini, but after that it was buy $30. I'm not sure why they're advertising it as a special promo for this weekend, other than to try to drive more people in to buy them not knowing it's a normal deal.GameStop will be doing a "buy $30 worth of Swap-Force stuff, get a free Skylander mini" promo this weekend.
...When they did it a few weeks ago it was only $20 and they were giving away posters.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Walgreens is a YMMV situation. I haven't seen Skylanders marked down that cheap. I think I did remember seeing a few Giants figures marked down minimally last time I looked. I don't go to Walgreens as much as I used to when I did a lot of coupon deals, there. I was planning on going today, though to pick up something else. Maybe I'll check. There are several Walgreens in my area, although I'm not sure it will be worth driving around for. But I'll, at least, go to the one near my work on my lunch break (since I was going, anyway), and maybe swing by the one next to my house on the way home.I've never really paid any attention to Walgreens clearance but I guess it is crazy YMMV like Walmart and such.

Yes. Somewhere out west.Prim, are you in the U.S.? Can you tell us your location? If not, no sweat, but the country would at least be nice.
Looks like TRU is getting a box in to be held for the 18th. Inside is a case of spring figures and this guy(he's fuzzy), but stores are receiving only one. Don't know what the deal is yet.

I saw that at BBY yesterday. Unless there's a non-fuzzy version there.Looks like TRU is getting a box in to be held for the 18th. Inside is a case of spring figures and this guy(he's fuzzy), but stores are receiving only one. Don't know what the deal is yet.
