Gamestop is offering a chance to get figures that were already out. $20 aint too bad for this deal, just figure out what to do with the extra figures, otherwise look at this way. Your paying $20 for a sidekick and getting 2 free swapforce guys.

I agree, and I would look at the Wave 1 vs. 2 and 3 makeup if you already had everything and don't have friends to go in on it with you. I've been reading Magna Charge is drying up since he was only in Wave 1, as well as Slobbertooth and Roller Brawl also being Wave 1 only. You might have to invest in some figures to get those Giantkicks, but if you are at the point where you need those and have everything else, you can probably swing getting a few extra figures to complete your collection with the Giantkicks. If you look at the Wave makeup carefully you might be able to identify the next S2 Bash or S2 Slam Bam and have no trouble getting at least most of your money back down the road after Wave 1 is nowhere to be found. Heck, you could probably EBay/Craigslist whatever else you get immediately and even if you only get about $5-6 after fees for each of the figures you got your Giantkicks for around $10 each, which many seem to think would be the magic price.

Some people were arguing for Activision and whoever to keep producing old stuff (Granite Crusher, Jade Flashwing, and the Dark Light Crypt) and putting on the shelves. Yes, we do have people who come new into the game with every new game released. However, most of us have been around for awhile. So, look at this in the point of the retailer. Do I order new Swap Force stuff or more of the old Giants or S:SA stuff? Most of the are going to say the new Swap Force stuff. This is going to make them the most money and not sit for a long time on the shelf.

I get the idea of the stuff with the Adventure pack and old Target variants. However, if they were still on the shelf in abundance they would not be at a premium and they would take up valuable shelf space. Even Ninjini and Hot Head who were hard to find in Giants are now sitting with no one taking them. That is why most stores besides TRU and a few Wal-Marts do not get any of the old stuff in.
