Well I know that one of the start things is 100$ like they said. I saw that one too (also at WalMart), but I'm not up with the info on how many start versions there are. Maybe there's different ones. or maybe different stores sell them at muuuuch different prices.

No way starter pack is $100, unless it's for the Wii U which is probably just a blank number they've put on there.

There's only the full starter pack ($79.99) or the Portal Owners Pack ($59.99). One has Tree Rex, Cynder and Jet-Vac and the other has just Tree Rex. Anything outside of that is false, and you should confront them about the prices. (You can probably find it on walmart's website)

Arguably, the game does seem expensive, but take into effect other game's DLC. Yeah, the Skylanders info is all on the game already, but you're mostly paying for a physical figure which when not used for the game makes a really wonderful collection piece.

I agree. I was at a Wal-Mart today in Iowa and it was still 75 for the starter and 59 for the owners pack.

Hm, the one I saw was for a Wii system, I dunno about Wii U. But the price DID say it was 100 bucks. Saw the same online for 100, but other places had the same thing for 75 bucks. Fishiness is fishy. D:

Also 49.99 FTW! Black Friday sales <3

Well, judging by your ever so obvious dislike for skylanders in your signature, why would you care anyways?

Besides, the game is 75.00 for the starter pack and 59.99 for the portal owners pack...never have I seen if for 100. And even if it was, it'd still be worth it in the long run.

But you hate skylanders so leave it at the store for someone else to enjoy....

No skylanders game costs $100. Your just some bitter guy, who hates a children's game.

Here's one of the sites I went to that had them, but it wouldn't let me copy over the link so I screenshot.

[User Posted Image]

But I found at least 3-4 more places with the same prices for this.

My Walmart has the same price on them. So they're not making it up or anything. There ARE some places genuinely selling these things for 99.99.......

I love Skylanders so. It's not me hating on them lol

EDIT: Actually found an online shop somewhere selling them for 119 bucks! Jesus >.>

Well regardless of what people want to randomly believe despite proof, it's still 99.99$ at my WalMart. And screw whoever thinks otherwise just because. lol (I'm in Arkansas, US by the way for anybody else who's getting the same price)

#25 Posted: 02:18:46 08/11/2012
The Wii U version will probably be more expensive because Nintendo are selling the systems at a loss and plan to make up for it with software sales.
But anyway... The game is $50-80 here everywhere! smilie

I want a link to an actual retailer website such as Walmart. And what are those sites you screen capped? If it is not an official retailer site, then it doesn't prove anything as any online marketplace can charge what they want.

That' what I was thinking too. A Skylanders hater and Classic Spyro lover, worrying about the price of the very game he hates?

He's trying to turn people away from the game. Honestly, I've never met a person who, after giving it a fair try, ended up hating it.

Much agreed. I mean I am a "Classic Spyro" fan too, and didnt intend on enjoying it either. I went in thinking and expecting to hate it. But turns out its now one of the best things I've ever played lol.

People need to stop being so closeminded.

I'm a classic/legend fan and I thought the first game was extremely mediocre(on the console... Loved Universe and the old 3DS version).
So I neither loved nor hated it. smilie

In germany the starter pack for the ps3 can be purchased for 60-75 €. It is up to the store. But it is a little frustrating here. We are still stuck at wave one.
