I found an E3 Hot Streak used the other day at GameStop. I now wish I hadn't bought it off ebay for a hefty price back when I did.

Got the Nightmare Express pack since it was cheap used on Amazon and I wanted Blades. Figures came in what looks like unused condition (they were still in the plastic, cards and all, but the backboard was missing. Blades was in factory condition in-game).

One last fun new level in Trap Team. Unless Mirror of Mystery or Sunscraper Spire (ha) ever go down as low, that is.

No image of my Skylanders find for this Garage Sale Weekend as I'm very exhausted and tired, but basically I got:

A Skylanders bed sheet set for $2. LOL I seriously doubt I'll ever use it but it's Skylanders and it's CHEAP, so I couldn't say no.

A Skylanders Gill Grunt plush for either 25 or 50 cents. I forgot how much as I got him with a few Pokemon plush for cheap too.

And a McDonald's KAOS figure!!!!!1! LOL! I've wanted him for ages. I'm surprised it took me this long to find one. I mean, I've seen loads of Tree Rex everywhere, but this was my first Kaos. Oh well! Now I need another one to make myself a proper Kaos Trap Team figure out of his crystal.

Anyway, off topic, but I had spent over $300 this past weekend on tons of goodies. About $150 of that was for my collections...MLP, Equestria Girls, Monster High, Ever After High, Lalaloopsy, Xbox 360 games, etc, etc. Garage Sales really rock if you don't mind stuff that is about 3 to 4 years out of date because they just about give away the stuff for about 10% of what they originally paid.

Found Swarm at the thrift store yesterday. Finished leveling and upgrading him earlier today and he seems really cool. I kinda wanna grab all 8 Giants now to calm my OCD.... (I think they all look cool next to each other don't they?)

While out getting my Darkrai codes, I stopped in TRU because today it was BOGO 50% off all Toys to Life figures. I chose to pick up the final two Elites I needed: Voodood and Zook. It was smarter to get those with the deal than it would have been to get Zelda and Lottie.

Guess it's not really "just bought" but "just received" but I was surprised with not the Wii U Superchargers Starter Pack, but the Dark Starter Pack AND the Fly, Dive, Drive Toy Bundle from Amazon.

That means I got:

-Kaos Trophy
-Dark Spitfire and Dark Hot Streak
-Dark Turbo Charged Donkey Kong and Dark Barrel Blaster
-Dark Super Shot Stealth Elf (It was the Amazon Dark+Stealth Elf bundle)
-Shark Shooter Terrafin and Shark Tank
-Turbo Charged Jet Vac and Jet Stream
-and finally Deep Dive Gill Grunt, Reef Ripper, and the Sea Trophy

Awesome for a starter pack. Now I don't have to get anything else to enter into any gates! I've only played the first bit (ended when I got to Skylanders Academy) but so far it's the most fun I've had in a Skylanders game since Swap Force!

Today got some good finds at Woodbine EB Games in Toronto. S2 Spyro and the Fire Totem trap. I'm continuing to build my collections of orange bases and unique traps. Also got a free DOOM cyberdemon trading card from promo to complete the experience. I also found a preowned krypt king but didn't get him.

Just came back from my local secondhand store with Series 2 Flameslinger, and also Series 2 Bash! Aww yeah. Surprisingly, he was up there for more than a month. I also never saw him at EB Games since three years ago when I saw him new in a 3-pack, and just once. I'm pretty sure this figure is the hardest orange base core to get seeing how he was never restocked after Wave 2, according to Skylanders Character List. He had a reasonable price of $10, which is double than Flameslinger, and they're both orange bases.

Well unlike EB Games, the store I went to likes to combine retail, and amazon values into a rational preowned price. I mean they have a classic Playstation for $25 while having an N64 for $60.

Now I have all the orange base dragon figures, and at least one orange base S2 of each element.

Which reminds me, I didn't get this because I couldn't afford it at the time, but I was at an EB Games and found an Xbox 360 Dark Edition of Swap Force for only $20. Hope it's still there when I go to that one again. I don't have a 360 but I'm considering getting one preowned one day.

I'm over a year late to get these, but I'm glad I got them. I ordered doubles (and triples) because I know the paint jobs and mold construction vary among figures. I ordered three Batspin and Echo and 1/3 of the time the paint jobs and molding was perfect. I ordered the last three Batspin off of Best Buy. I paid almost twice over MSRP for the Spotlights and Blackouts, a little over MSRP for the Batspins because of shipping, a little over MSRP for the Echoes and the same for the Whisper Elf and Barkley minis. It wasn't too bad overpaying on the Breeze and Pet Vac minis too. I need a few more characters for Trap Team. Oh, and the Batspins didn't come sealed on the back-cards. I had to reseal them with super glue.

Ohhh, thank you! smilie But people do that? smilie

I thought you were either the kind of person who kept it in the box or tore it open. I'm not sure if the figure still works on the portal in the box, though. Kinda regretting what I said, I just get so annoyed when people buy 2 of something when they're so hard to get hold of smilie
84skylanderdude Platinum Sparx Gems: 5528
#7977 Posted: 19:01:17 07/05/2016

#7982 Posted: 22:55:18 07/05/2016
^ You are correct. And 1/3 of the Batspin and Echo were good. I can't take chances of internet shipped figures. The paint jobs and molding will most likely come bad. I'm also an NIB collector. I'll open the figures with good paint, keep the figures with bad paint in box. And for me personally, NIB collections are not just about in box. If the loose figure becomes corrupt or breaks one day in the future, I'll just open the in box figure and keep playing with it. I don't collect every Skylander, so the figures I don't buy, I'll use the money that I could use toward those, I'll instead use towards doubles of the ones I like.

I did read the post the first time, but I don't really understand what you mean. Are figures ordered on the internet more likely to be badly made? I had this problem with my Splatter Splasher, but it was bought from a shop and I just didn't notice at the time.

So I just bought gold hot streak, but only received the shipping label with a note saying it was found loose in the mail. The seller is not responding. My local PA post office couldn't find it in their lost and found. The manager was helpful and had me email him pictures and replied promptly. He said it was likely the label was detached before it arrived at my post office because it was processed through their letter sorter and not their packages. So I called the Ohio post office from where it was sent. No help. They actually told me, "We don't do the email." I requested a refund from the seller. Any tips on what else I can do?
