I have no idea. I have plenty of loose figs but the sellers hardly specify if it was used once to add to collection or it's just out of the package. Used to have a preowned Ghost Roaster that I gifted to a friend,however.

Bash
Zap
Legendary triple pack ones + legendary trigger happy.

All came with cards and code. On a month where I buy less amiibo I am going to try and find a S2 bash

Legendary Night Shift is my only used skylander. I got him today at Gamestop. Nice find for only $6 CAD (~$4 USD)

In the neighborhood of 30. Bought 20 in one lot for $20 off craigslist with the intention of trying to make some customs, but have never got around to it. The rest were to get some series 1 figs. I couldn't find in original packaging (e.g. Boomer), or spares for the other path.

Most of my Skylanders come from Ebay. I didn't buy SF when it came out, waited a year and BOOM cheap skylanders all around. The only ones I had to really hunt for were Magna Charge and Scratch (who I still don't have). I like my used guys. I just reset them if some one leveled them up. Its pretty nice knowing that my local gamestop also has a huge selection. That had a Krypt King used that I never snagged... bet he's gone now...

I probably have 30 pre-owned from SA and Giants. With SF I got them all the day they came out. Same with TT. I am friends with my local Game Stop manager and he let's me know when they get a shipment and holds any I don't have.

I bought complete sets (no variants) of Spyro's Adventures and Giants off ebay. So that's 60 to 75 of them in my own collection? I do rescue Skylanders collections from garage sales and sell off what I don't want, so I probably owned well over 200 used Skylanders in total.

Most recently I saved a lonely Whirlwind from a Salvation Army for $1.99.



Can you spot the Whirlwind?

found whilewind


but i got all 44 figures from SSA used (32 characters,4 level items and 8 magic items), with stat cards, download codes and sticker sheets ( ghost roater and boomer missing there name stickers) got it off ebay for what i think was a good price. I normally like to buy new so i know everything is in good condition but when you find a good deals on used ones, sometimes you just cant pass them up. But the guy had to send me another stump smash. The one he sent didnt have a nose lol. It kind of looks like a skeleton faced tree.

I got a Boomer from a friends garage sale.

All my skylanders are used...except for S1 Spyro, S1 Gill Grunt, S1 Trigger Happy, S3 (Lava Barf) Eruptor, and a Kaos Trap. My whole collection is like, 7 or 8 times more than this. Should I be ashamed?

Not at all. You spent far less money than most of us for probably as much if not more enjoyment. If you're not collecting seriously it's no big deal.

all of mine are new

I found a bronze pre owned at GS.
$14.19, bah!

I did the exact same thing. He's the only pre-owned Skylander I have.

My son's collection: all new
I bought my Darklight Crypt/Ghost Roaster used off eBay from n original owner, as well as several "new" but "not in box" for literally $2 each. As long as card/sticker is included, who cares about the box?

Have about 15 various broken ones/malfunctioning ones I've rescued for repainting/modeling purposes...someday they will all be pretty and have two arms <3

Pretty much all my SSA figures are from the $2.99 lot at Gamestops as they come around. My son and I go skylander hunting every other week or so specifically to the 3 GS within 5 miles of my house.

I have a large chunk of preowned skylanders that I've adopted, many from friends that gave them up, others from garage sales ad pawn shops that I found for cheap. The used ones I generally hang on to for potential customs but I did end up passing some of my extras to my kid siblings

Wish I could find some of those for cheap but on Ebay it's usually on UK or US only bids, in here even broken they're still expensive, and can't really spare the money to give a hand(literally) to the Pop Fizz abandoned in the book store I window shop on. Some polymer clay or even other kinds of broken toys can do a lot to a broken figure.

I bought Dark Spyro once I believe that's it. I'm not a savoir, they save themselves.

I normally buy rare pre-owned figures. Some include boomer, voodood, dinorang and series 2 bash

Where abouts are you? Maybe you could get a shipping buddy!

South America, and definately not enough money to ship over a broken figure instead of a new one(mostly because the things in my wishlist are mostly from TT and they're probably more expensive when broken). There were a few lots of armless Hex in the Ebay equivalent of my part of the continent but they were being sold for full price because because.
But there's really no need to help some stranger over a fandom forum, though I thank you for the offer; in a few years there'll be probably plenty of broken figures once the kids are done destroying SSA and SG stuff and I'll be scrambling for more polymer clay instead of things to use it on; just wishful thinking to have used toys places finally getting skylanders or the site I mentioned actually selling them for cheap.

Preowned and missing cards / stickers are fine but I would draw a line at buying broken and armless skylanders .

Trigger Happy Series 2
Legendary Trigger Happy
Dark Mega Ram Spyro
Camo Series 2
Jade Flashwing
Dark Ninja Stealth Elf
Zoo Lou (Regular)

No problem, although I actively trade on another website all across the world for Disney products and limited merchandise so I wasn't even thinknig about the stranger part! xD

I would just keep checking ebay for people who ship! I ordered 16 figures from one seller who periodically gets them in bulk, he tries to not send duplicates but somtimes if you buy too many he can't help it. They're 4$ for 8 figures and some are "classified" as broken or used just because of bad paint! I have however recieved one bad one from them that was really broke (The tank sprocket....with no sprocket!)

But every single figure I've gotten from him has worked so far. So just keep looknig! Some people will do deals on shipping! Don't lose hope

A tank Sprocket ...without a Sprocket does not sound too bad .

Alas, the only used Skylander I have is an extra clear/crystal green Gill Grunt I picked up for $2 to give to my nephew. He loved Gill Grunt and didn't have him due to my wife and I only having gotten him the 3DS releases of SSA & Giants. When I saw him next (before his birthday) I found out that he actually really wanted S2 Gill Grunt, which I then had to really work to find as he wasn't commonly on the shelves anymore. As a result, I now have the extra figure helping to decorate my living room.

Will keep checking - once I start being able to save up again it's probably a better deal than trying to get adventure packs.
Unmanned Sprocket tank sounds actually awesome! You can get just about any small toy with a broken waist and give them a new bottom half :U Bam, the broken Rainbow Dash is now a Rainbow Dash driving a tank.

Does anyone know where to get inexpensive, used figures that are in good shape? I don't play the games but I still like some of the toys and I'd love to get a few...but not for $10 each at the cheapest.

Yard sales? Keep a lookout for TRU b/c if u need any SSA/SG figs u can get them new for < $10 and in some cases < $6

Check your local pawn shops .

On Craigslist you can find people selling off their collections and usually get decent prices

I only have 1. S1 Dark Spyro.

Now thats potential . I wonder if you can fit a mega bloks chompy in the tank .

I have over 150 broken/defective Skylanders that I've bought in bulk from Chinese websites. These lots have also contained rare working figures and prototypes, so yeah, it's a win win situation. I've also customized a few of them already.

Only a Zook that was traded for a spare Stealth Elf. The Zook was actually used before that, as my friend got that Skylander (and all of his collection) from a yard sale.

If it's the lots I think you're talking about, I thought they'd always come without chips no matter what. Getting a fully working one for that price is still a really good deal,especially because in these sites they favor free shipping.

I second the Toys R Us thing. If you happen to be new to the games and wanna play catch up go sign up for their free members card and wait for emails. Currently they're trying to get right of SSA, Giants, and SF and they have "memebers" events about every third weekend of the month. Things like Lightcore Hex and SSA figures were on sale last time for 1.99 and a TON of figures were on sale for 3.99 or less.

Oh,Lightcore Hex, the thing that is dirt cheap elsewhere but I can never afford. I remember someone was auctioning several figures of her off for entire months on ebay but because of the dollar conversion the shipping made it cost as much as a regular figure for me D:

Yes the US dollar exchange is horrible these days . I am not buying anything from amazon .com anytime soon .

I got Legendary Bash, Spyro and Chop chop,
and Lightcore Chill.
I'm still hunting for series 2 Bash, fire bone hot dog, and lightcore Pop fizz

Bash, Voodood, and a few others~

My GS has s2 bash, a lot of starter pack characters, and SSA toys....

EDIT: and 2 more colour shift wash bucklers.

Last week I gotten three more used skylanders and they were pretty cool. Series 1 Camo, Pumpkin Eye-Brawl, and Dark Blast Zone.

I should start buying used skylanders more. It's really convenient with low prices and many rare/discontinued ones.

There is another fun thing we can do when we buy Preowned . It is usually not reset when bought so we can see the previous owner,s level and what upgardes he bought . I noticed most of them were not even half the level and only a handful of upgrades.

Usually a less popular skylander like Zook is sold for 1.5 bucks and he is hardly played with .

They get reset of course .

I buy most of my Skylanders second hand. Nothing wrong with it, and I reset them all.

Only four rescues, all from GAME (but at different times); Boom Jet, Enchanted Hoot Loop, Legendary Trigger Happy and Silver Dino Rang.

I own a few pre-owned Skylanders. I have also found some rare ones while looking through boxes of pre-owned Skylanders in Game; Dark Snap Shot, Dark Food Fight, Dark Stealth Elf, green-base Gil Runt.
