darkSpyro

What's the most you've spent on a Skylander? Do you always buy retail or have you succumbed to scalper's at some point? The most I paid for one was $10 Flameslinger from Gamestop online. ( factoring in shipping and everything and excluding adventure packs which are obviously more.) I have never bought from a scalper, but I want to hear if any of you guys have and what the highest you paid for a figure was.

It depends because I had to buy Hwam online and the total overall with shipping was like $17. Of that's the case then yes. However, I have found mine all in store, but the most expensive would be the ones from TRU.

Hwam? Whammy you mean? Toys R Us shipping does suck quite a bit, but fortunately I was able to find all my TRU Legendaries at the store. But it's still disgusting how Toys R Us charges more for Skylanders to begin with.

Yeah I ment whammy. But yeah whamm was the most and I got him form GameStop.com. But physically, all the ones I got from TRU. Yeah, TRU has ridiculous shipping prices, and bad packaging.

I got all retail but I'm still missing 2 >.<

I only caved once and bought Dark Spyro off ebay for $16 including shipping.

I guess it would be better to buy Dark Spyro on ebay for <$20 if you have no interest in Ignitor/Stealth Elf/3DS game/ mini portal. Probably save money that way.

I got Empire Of Ice for $31 on eBay plus shipping I think.
Not too bad is it?

The most I've spent on one single skylander is 35 dollars sadly. For my Dark Spyro Single Pack (Bought on ebay Germany). Since I have a pretty good feeling it'll never hit USA Shores.
I don't really regret anything, since It was bought for collection purposes, since i already have/had Dark spyro from my 3DS set. Ah well.

Did you just want it for the purpose of owning it in a single pack?

40$ for sunburn from a stupid scalper!!!!!!!!

And it did not include shipping fail!!!!!!!!

Yes, I bought it for "Collecting" Purposes only.

@Dunkin Ah. I think that Skylanders are meant to be removed from the packaging and played with since they're toys, but I understand why collectors like to collect also. I'm sure I'd enjoy it if I had the money/space to place 30 something single Skylanders packs.
@chopchop Well, you can't really call the scalper stupid if you were willing to buy from him...

25 for whirlwind when she first came out

Retail prices only. They're just figurines, after all. :-)

I have never spent more than retail. Except when I first got the game, I did not know how much each figure costed, so I bought a Bash three-pack for 36$

I caved once and bought the Stealth Elf / Sonic Boom / Boomer 3-pack off of e-bay for $40.00. I just didn't want to wait any longer for Stealth Elf & Sonic Boom.

Lol I know, alot of people say that. But yeah my OCD kicks in when it comes to toys I'm just an unusal adult collecting toys for no good reason, other than the fact that they bring me tons of joy

Thats the most I've ever spent on a Skylander though, and I don't intend to do it again, not even for a variant.

Sunburn at toysrus Ended up being $31 something after tax and shipping...

The most I spent on a Skylander is £10 for an Dark Spyro from Ireland which actually worked out a loss for the person who sent it to me... the cost of a single pack Skylander where she bought it is roughly £8 and the postage was £3.65. I said I'd pay the difference but she didn't want me to.

I have kept it in its packaging (for now) but I do play with it... I don't know why people seem to have something against the idea of keeping them in their box. They work just fine on the portal boxed.

$22 for wham shell.

When I bought the 3 pack is was sonic boom, stealth elf, and wrecking ball. Never found boomer in a 3 pack

I second that. I'm tired of seeing these smartelics coming on here and doing this sorta thing. If you don't like the game then by all means stay on the Original Spyro boards.

Yeah. All the complaints I see about Skylanders are really annoying and obviously by people who have never tried the game. In all reality, $8-10 dollars isn't that outrageous of a price for a minifigure if you only plan to buy a couple.

I am here because I was responding to the topic. That's what you do in a forum, yes. You have no right to tell me where I can and can't post. If you don't like my opinions then ignore them. Its that simple. No need to get angry about it. BTW, I prefer LoS to the originals.

Well, to be honest there was nothing wrong with what you said, just the way you said it. It's perfectly fine not to like Skylanders, but there's no reason to say it in a way that fans of the game might be offended by.

Exactly, its almost like you were TRYING to be offensive. No one's trying to say you "Can't" post here, but do so in a manner in which makes you seem like your trying to be a ****. You know?

Lets just get back on topic, though lol.

25$ for a cynder SINGLE PACK

I never spent more then the store price which is €8.99/€9.99 (single),€21.99(triple) and €24.99 (adventure)

I think... probably about £15 for a single from eBay back when I first got the game (Christmas-February time). There was literally none in stock anywhere around me so eBay was the only place to get them. Never paid more than £15 for a single Skylander though. Doesn't matter how bad I wanted one, I was NOT paying stupid prices.
Brought Bash (unboxed), Zap, Drobot and Sonic Boom through scalpers. Though I might end up buying unboxed Dark Spyro from them, since I have no interest in a 3DS (And I have Stealth Elf and Ignitor). Everything else was retail- £7.99 to £9.99. Everything was free postage. I don't pay for that if I can avoid it.

Don't they have Dark Spyro singles in the UK?

£38.99 ($61) for Lightning rod / zook / cynder tripple pack from Evil Bay, on pre order. Guy made me wait well over a month an half after i paid for it.. in the mean time it was in tescos for retail £19.99 ($31) - absolutly gutted!

Legendary tripple pack again evil bay for £37.50 ($59)

---
Own + Blue bash + VV
Still Need + Silvers / Golds / Clears / GITDs / TFs / F-L Stump-smash

For a single, I have paid $55 for a Target Whirlwind with a Zap title card in it off evilbay.
For a triple pack, I paid $33 for the Legendary 3 pack from some African site.
For an adventure pack, I paid $35 for E.O.I. off of Gamestop.com, shipping included.

10$!!

I spent 14 bucks on a legendary trigger happy. I thought i would spend more money on a camo,warnado and wham shell but i got those for free along with dark spyro

Not the whole UK, only Northern Ireland which is "overseas" and for most UK residents. And I think the only reason they sell it in NI is because they sell it in the Republic of Ireland (different country, same land-mass).

Yep that is the only place you can get him and that is where I live but I think you can ask someone from the UK smyths to ship them to there stores and buy him

Other than $60 for the starter pack, the most I payed for a Skylander is $10 each for Stump Smash and Legendary Trigger Happy, which I traded to my friend. As for triple packs, I paid $20 for Zap, Hex, and Dino Rang together.

Recently a mini Toys R' Us store went up in my area so I won't mind paying a little more for them if it saves us on driving distance.

Internet scalpers won't get a penny out of me!

I traded a Warnado with someone over seas for a Wham-Shell causing my Wham-Shell to have the highest cost investment I have put into a single figure of about $24. However I did not technically buy Whammy so I don't know if it counts.

I found most of my collection at the on-line seller websites (I am not big on going to stores) so the price always gets inflated by S&H:

single: Cynder from Gamestop for $13
triple: Legendary from TRU for $31
adventure: Pirate Seas from Gamestop for $23

Succumbed to one Scalper... Paid 100+ for Whammy, from a Aussie seller on Ebay. Doesn;t matter though. I got the moeny back, and my collection was completed

Patience is a virtue, due to that, the most I've spent was $24 for DP at TRU.

45$ for dark spyro on ebay

The most I spent was for Cynder for $16 when she was first released.

on a single figure $13.50 for Legendary Trigger Happy
on a pack $50 for the Legendary Three Pack

£8.99 for Camo...

Unless £20 for Dragon's Peak counts?

I've gone retail price on everything

Retail only for me. Patience is a virtue and a savior for my wallet.
