The more I wait for Giants, the less interested I am in buying all the new characters. Most of my skylanders sit in a box aside from three or four of them, so I might end up just buying the Portal Owner pack, Bouncer, and series 2 Chop-Chop. I'll be stuck with Shroom Boom though since he comes with the Chop-Chop battlepack, which has actually yet to be confirmed for Canada. I'm pretty sure it will be though. It'd be silly if it wasn't.
I know that feel. I really want to play this game already, but I know they will botch the releases and release at least 2/3 of the new characters again. It makes the game boring.
