[quote name='caltab']Went to toys r us to pick up the wave 2 figures...they had so many skylanders, literally bins full. I gotta question Activision's decision to flood the market with these things. I think a big reason why they were so popular is because of the collectible aspect. Rarity really added to that IMO. I think the long term viability of the series kind of depends on them being somewhat rare.[/QUOTE]
I agree with the rarity making people want them, at least for me. I bought all of the wave 1 new characters yesterday but if they are available everywhere at any time then I'll probably regret it somewhat.
Having said that, the original Skylanders were a dime a dozen for quite awhile last year up until around Christmas and maybe more so after Christmas. I remember the Legendary TrU exclusive pack filled the shelves for awhile and then suddenly they were rare and going for a hundred dollars + on ebay. Same thing with Whirlwind when he was a timed exclusive to Target. That single one was going for over $150 at one point.
