I really have no urge to get any series one Skylanders anymore. The reposes always look cooler, plus they get the Wow Pow. Anyone else do this?

No, I find Series 1's are more of a bragging right when people like to pull up skill debates.

I for one still like s1 figures. They just have that iconic feeling and feel more original before they feel like they are being milked for more money. Plus I like the simple poses they tend to have and better not take any gambles on hard series 1 figures to find.

ive been collecting since the beginning. but i still use my S1 characters to play, cause they are all super maxed. and i havent found any of the wow pows to be so great that i want to switch. (drobot and camo two of my favorites for example)
but with each new game i do play with the new figures a bit. but yeah i still go back to s1 guys when i wanna be awesome. boom!

Congratulations, you spent over 300$ before getting the 2nd game. Do you want a participation ribbon.

Same here Qcumber. Also Taco I don't think a participation ribbon is what we need. This is more our speed.

I still want a Ghost Roaster . smilie

Lost Islands dictates my buying habits and they dont notice S2 , S3 or Lightcore .

I get rewarded by all the console and DS games for having multiple S1 figures that cost half or quarter price of an S2 or S3 figure . I only ever broke that rule with hex but she is a favorite of mine .

Yes the S2 pose is usually prettier , have an extra power and easy skill path switch but that does not make it worth twice the price for me and whats the point if Trap Team brings out a series 4 ? Its obsolete again .
Also the new S1 figures for the latest game are usually stronger then any S3 figures .

If S1 and S2 figures cost the same i would choose the S2 . If i already have an S2 I would not buy an S1 and vice versa.
The difference is not big enough . Its just a little cherry on a big chocolate cake .

I don't care which series - I just get the one that I like better or my daughter likes better. For example, I have an S1 and an S2 Spyro, both of which I think look better than S3 Spyro. But I have an S2 Hex, because my daughter liked her more than S1 Hex.

im with you on this one. the nostalgic feel of them before the 3D printers. series ones get used the most, the rest are just to help the series 1 level up even more with the character challenges. ive never reset their ownership from the first game so still all original stats fully upgraded. my favorite are trigger happy and stealth elf. these guys smash when you replay spyros adventure.

I am thinking about getting reposes for series1 figures but I think they will be rare once they become retro memorabilia

Boomer and Bash are already rare. Despite Bash having a Series 2, and a Legendary.

Am I missing something? Why miss out on any series 1 figure since you don't know if they'll get reposed. So far the only confirmed repose from SSF is Fryno. Are we just specifically talking the SSA figures or any S1 in general?

I mean all series 1s. I didn't get any new core characters in Gian's and Swap Force, so I could just get the reposes.

i treat the figures more as collectable figurines, rather than video game accessories, so i get everything available as it is available, although i don't collect the chase variants

So you're ok with missing out on a large number of characters since you don't buy any of their S1 figures? There have been some characters that were fun to play as, like Dunebug and Fright Rider for me, that you wouldn't be using if they never get reposed. You basically miss out on a number of characters, but if you're cool with that then I guess it's more power to you. I had a need to buy every figure, but then I disliked Swap Force so much that I've now come to terms with that need. I'll only buy a character if I particularly like them and only get a repose if the Wow Pow is worth it.

I have no interest in waiting to see if so and so figure will get a repose or not . S2,s and 3,s are meant to attract customers who never bought an S1 .

Its a sales trick like variants . You have an S2 ..so what ? Your cousin has an S3 , your girlfriend has an S2 legendary , your best friend has S1 but it came with another S2 plus a Cannon toy ? that smelly kid across the road has a lightcore version .

Pick what you like but dont think you have a better deal .

s1 characters are sometimes good to get like the remaining forgotten 8 from the first game and fright rider from giants.
