Okay, today, off of eBay, I got some new stuff.
- Boomer Single
- Legendary Spyro/Legendary Bash/Legendary Chop Chop Triple
- Volcanic Vault
What does this mean? One VERY NEARLY COMPLETE SEALED AND OPENED SET! Of course, I do not have the variants, and I'm now getting rid of the ones I have as well as the Game Packs I had, and I lack the Sidekicks and a Single of Dark Spyro. BUT, I finally got NEARLY every CHARACTER PACK which is really what I wanted!
DARK SPYRO SINGLE: I'm entering the EB Games giveaway contest, and if I don't win him, I'll outright buy one, simple as that. No fuss to get him.
SIDEKICKS: I'm going to either sell my three convention variants and fund them with that, or trade for them. Unfortunately, I do need two sets- one to open, and one to leave sealed- but I've seen sets for around $120 now which I think I can soak up buying two of if I get rid of that expensive stuff I mentioned. There may even be a little bit of money left after that depending on how much I can get for the variants(which will go to my parents so that they can still afford whatever they want to use it on).
As for Giants. I have the FOLLOWING PREORDERED. And this can also be used as a reference list for me. I will be hunting on day one, across five stores, and my mum will go to TRU for me, so there's a good chance I'll get everything.

chaosworrier
- x1 Wii Starter Pack (Glow)
- x1 Flameslinger Single (Gold)
Note, I still need to hunt for some stuff...
- x2 Granite Crusher (If it comes here...)
- x2 Legendary Bouncer
- x2 Terrafin Single
- x1 Ignitor Single
- x1 Whirlwind Single
- x1 Zook Single
- x2 Legendary Slam Bam/Legendary Ignitor/Legendary Jet-Vac Triple (If it comes here...)
- x2 Dragonfire Cannon
- x1 PS3 Starter Pack (Gnarly Bundle) (Not sure if you can preorder? Clarification would be appreciated.)
But finally, virtually done with the hunt for now.
I figured that it just isn't worth waiting for a Boomer Single as I've never heard of any coming into Australia naturally, the Legendary Triple was discontinued ages ago. And I'll never get another Volcanic Vault if I simply sit.
FEELS GOOD, MAN. Feels good.
Edit:
I'm giving in and buying two Sidekick sets now... *grunt*
I think... For now... This will do. I'll wait till Giants to sell my variants as I predict they may go up a bit. And heck, I'd be glad to get rid of each for a hundred per.
Edit again:
Tomorrow. Sidekicks. Buying them. Tomorrow. Returning the Game Packs will get roughly $240, possibly more, half will pay for the stuff I got today, half will pay for one of the sets of Sidekicks, not factoring in the merchandise like styli and backpacks I plan to return, and the variants, should easily cover the second set, and a fairly good chunk of Giants. Yes.
The merchandise will probably be a hundred more, and the variants I plan to give for at least a hundred each except fifty for Pearl who is slightly damaged, so if things go according to plan I should get something around $450, which is easily enough. Heck, I could pay for a Wii U with that.
"No! I shan't succumb to such fabulousness!"
But I did.
I
DID.
