Coloring it silver first was like less than an half hour. I just used a silver sharpie!

Coloring it red took probably about 45 minutes or so. A lot of the time was looking for smaller and smaller brushes. I used 2 paints from Walmart, one was a Red and the other was a metallic red. I combined them together to make a more crimson sheen color.

Heres a pic of the display i just finished putting together with my collection on it.



Havent really decided how i want to have em on there yet

OMG I wish I had all of them I don't have any collection pics but see my profile for my skylanders. good luck cuz whammy is out!

How did u get the parts for that anyways?

I asked my local walmart if i could have the display when they were done with it. I went there today and there were only a few things left on it. i asked if i could just move the remaining skylanders to the main aisle where they usually go and the lady said yes. so i took it apart, brought it home, then put it back together (wasnt easy cause i couldnt remember how the pieces went lol)

I think I have enough now.

My collection is allmost done 4 more to get all the rest on preorder and still waiting two 3 packs coming 2 more adventures also ordered got all 4 and a single whamshell

My collection so far. The dragons get a special position at the back.

Compared to some of the collections here mine is kind of small, but nonetheless these guys are mine and Im rather proud of them:

One Skylander is better than none. So, by default, anyone with at least 1, has just as good of a collection as someone with with all of them.

My L-rod cynder zook 3pk just came in!

Where from?

Online! but I think my l-rod has a misprint base (its half shaded in)

Started collecting about three weeks ago... I had no idea what I was getting into. Now I'm down to the last three (I'm not really interested in the clear/crystal figures). Got most of these from Toys 'R' Us and a couple from EB Games.

See, I wouldn't mind having the Stanley Sortmasters (not Jr.) there, but they don't snap together. That's one benefit of the Jr. versions. They snap together for easy travel. I guess those ones would be neat, if you're just keeping them at home.

Couldn't find the Jr's anywhere. They do fit the figures PERFECTLY though! They do take up considerable space, and I won't have enough to fill the third... but maybe that will be the excuse to hunt down the clear/crystal figures I have no interest in...

not bad for only 3 weeks congrats and i hope you get the last 3 soon

I have to admit that I waited for a few store openings when I knew they were getting new releases. That's how I nabbed Sunburn/Dragon's Peak right away (haven't seen it since).

Then, I walk into TRU one day during lunch and they just started unpacking a huge shipment. After the early morning lineups, small mobs, and barren shelves, here I was standing knee-deep in Skylanders and not a single person around me. That's when I got lucky and got one of the first (of only two) Zook, Lightning Rod and Cynder three-packs.

I caved and bought the Legendary three-pack off someone when I finally saw an ad that wasn't asking for an insane amount. At that point, it just wasn't worth my time searching for those anymore.

Blue Bash isn't pictured due to his worthlessness, but this is a top down look at our coffee table and ALL THE SKYLANDERS (except Wham-Shell, we've got all the rest). The top is glass, but the Skylanders sit under it.

Wolffe - those cases are pretty awesome. Bravo! I couldn't do that myself; ruining my stickers is out of the question. But awesome idea!

There is a skylander in the bottom right corner being covered, what is it?

Damn. That's plain old Spyro in the corner.

wow....

Nice collection! And you scored two of the last three -- awesome!

I really want to get this hunt over with. It sounds like not only are the last three going to be hard to come by... but they're making that last one (Wham-Shell) even tougher... just... great...

I was safely storing all the cards and stickers as soon as I opened any of the packages. When I got the cases I really debated whether I should actually use the stickers, but ultimately it came down to the fact that I'm just doing this for fun. I had the same feeling opening the Legendary three-pack when I finally got my hands on it.

I actually like the treasure hunt aspect of stumbling on a new Skylander or being one of the first to score a new one. I know that even though I am collecting them, I have no intention of ever selling them. Even after all of the money and energy spent... they're probably going to end up stored in the basement in a few months once my son and I get tired of playing with them.

That being said, my son (he's five) just loves organising his Skylanders and making sure they go in the right place. The best is when I hear him instructing his mother on how you have to look at the picture to know where each one goes! That alone made it worth it...

Huh. Never thought about it that way. I think you may have just convinced me to do the same!

can anyone tell me how to post pics from my hard drive onto a message? thx

Skylanders Collection Update 36/37 almost done

^
Lucked out
Nice collection

im building a shelf for my skylanders its half way done

A minor modification to the third case to accomodate the portals. I figured I would make use of all the extra space since I really only expect to be getting three more (the last three) Skylanders anyway.



The bottom left quadrant wouldn't fit the full size portal because of the handle, but it fits the 3DS portal nicely and the upper quadrant fits the full size perfectly.

I have them all exept Sun Burn Warnado Camo and Cynder.

Finished. Finally...

That looks so small it barely seems like 32.

^ That's what i thought.

DONE!!!

Wow, looks like lots of effort's gone into that! Are you going to do something else/more with that area with just Dark Spyro & Volcanic Vault, also, are you going to unbox Wham-Shell and Warnado?

Opening the m when the kids get home from school. I left extra space for when the Giants come out later :-)

You really have thought of everthing. You must be quite the D.I.Y.er then!

Quote: Joker Bingo

DONE!!!

What a GREAT orginasation!

Final pic with everything opened. I left room in each element row for the 8 new smaller guys (one for each element) when the sequel comes out. The Giants will go along the top.
I organized them to face their opposites. Fire vs water, magic vs tech, air vs ground, and death vs life.

Question: Why waste the Portal batteries? Just askin'

I want camo sooooo bad

Here's a photo I took this evening of the collection my wife and I have put together. We lack the Legendary 3 Pack (which we'll hopefully pick up tomorrow) and the final 3 Skylanders. Hopefully we'll find those sooner rather than later! Sorry that it's not of greater quality, it was taken with my phone (which was handy) instead of my digital camera (which was not).

Stealth elf 32. I turned the portal on to make the pic look better. I tried plugging the xbox portal into a USB charger, but it seems to only want to light up with a computer connection.

Here's a suggestion for your shelf, Joker. The huge empty circle up top should be decorated with the cards. There are many options to use, dependin on what your shelf is made of. Thumb tacs or staple gun would do the trick.

only 4 more to get camo warnardo ignitor and whamshell

Your display is Just Awesome........
You need a custom Skylanders Neon sign curved to fit the top of that bad boy!

Question for you?
How much did it cost and how long to make that?
Thanks......
How much would you charge to make one for someone?

Is it made out of foam?

Here is a shot of the shelf in progress. It is very simple to make. I can't tell you the cost since I had the wood left over from a project last year.
Just get a back board (mine was 2feet wide and 3 feet tall). I got all the wood at home depot.
Next I cut some 2x4s (2 for the sides and 2 for the top and base).
I used thinner boards for the shelves.
I used wood screws to hold everything in place through the backboard.
To finish it I used wood stain and two cans of fake rock texture paint from Wal-Mart.
you can assemble the whole thing using only a hand saw and screw driver.
I built it in two days. I cut the wood the first day, stained the shelves, screwed the backboard to the 2x4 frame and painted it with the fake rock spray.
The next day when the paint was dry I screwed the shelves into place.
