Skip Spyros Adventure - Directly to Giants? [CLOSED]

So, have anyone tried to optimize their buys so that you have pay as little as possible but get all elements.
I'm trying to find the best way to do this, but it's hard cause there are so many choices.

Going over and over again and changing :/

3DS SSA starter pack (already have)
Ignitor/Dark Spyro/Stealth Elf - Fire/Magic/Life

3DS Giants starter pack:
Cynder/Pop Fiz/Tree Rex - Undead/Magic/Life

Legendary 3-pack
Ignitor (already have S1)/Slam Bam/ Jet-Vac(S2 only) - Fire/Water/Wind(S2 only)

LC Drobot - Tech
Terrafin (S2) - Earth¨

This is ONE way, now this covers 8 elements in Giants and 7 in SSA elements, correct?
It also means that I will have full S2 path/powers with all elements?
This means I need only wind in S1.

S1 Wind:
For me it comes down to:
Warnado (only drawback no extra power/extra path), Sonic Boom or Whirlwind.
Which one would YOU get? I think I will go with Whirlwind.

Did I miss something, did I list the correct skylanders?

All that is correct. My personal choice from Air is Warnado. He's a pretty memorable character down both versions, and he has a cool design and, arguably, one of the best toys from S1. However, if you would prefer someone faster at clearing enemies than Warnado, S2 Sonic Boom is the way to go, Whirlwind is the way to go is fairly weak.

This, except fixed.

^ I personally think Whirlwind is terrible, and Sonic Boom down the babies path (Either series.) is awesome and fun.

^ I enjoy both of them just as much, but Whirlwind is much weaker in my opinion.

^ It is just that Whirlwind's Rainbows are kind of useless. Sonic Boom with the baby path is really good, the damage racks up fast, and the Screech is still really powerful.

Damn you people smilie, not making it easy for me smilie.
I was hoping for a unanimous decision.

How much am I missing out on if I go for Warnando for air?

#57 Posted: 15:16:41 09/11/2012
^ Not much, Whrilwind and Sonic Boom's Wow Pows don't improve them much at all, and Warnado is easily funner than both of them, and about just as strong as Whirlwind and Sonic Boom with their Wow Pows.

^WOW, thanks A LOT.

One thing I feel confused about is this line:
"But- you need to use all his attacks at the same time for him to be extremely effective..."

What do you mean? Can you really use ALL attacks at the same time or do you mean that you have to switch it up?
Again, AWESOME POST smilie

Well you can't really find series 1 in stores anymore because Giants came out but some stores still do have them. So you are going to have to resort to EBay or Amazon. The expensive (rare) ones are:

Air:
Lightning Rod:$15-$20
Warnado:$15-$20
Earth:
None really, although Dino-Rang might be on the expensive side. (around $12)
Fire:
Ignitor:Can be cheap or expensive gotta wait for good deals on him.
Sunburn:Same as above, a little more expensive though.
Life:
Camo:$15-$20
Zook:Same as Ignitor and Sunburn, got mine today for $7
Magic:
Dark Spyro:$20-$30 (I think you already have him)
Voodood:$12-$15
Tech:
Boomer:$15-$20
Undead:
Cynder:Not a lot of listings for her so it makes her that much more expensive in some auctions, $8-$15
Ghost Roaster:Along with Sunburn (forgot to mention) the adventure packs are still available for $20 online at Gamestop and Toysrus
Water:
The infamous Wham Shell:$20-$30
Zap:$15-$30


What I did is bought Giants for my Wii release date and have been buying the S1 triple packs online. They tend to be cheaper than the S2. Then i'll start buying the 8 "newlanders" and 8 giants. Plus i'm asking for that new S:SA xbox bundle as I don't have a XBox or S:SA so everything is kinda working out.

Can't decide if I want to get the none-reposed S1 or not, damnit.

You should. Then if you decide to collect them all you'll have less remorse, and if you don't you just have more characters to play with.



Yeah, went ahead and ordered.
I have one problem, will probably never get hold of Sunburn or Ghost Roaster.
Well well...

That stinks. Dragon's Peak and Darklight Crypt are great levels... Well Darklight Crypt anyway, Dragon's Peak just drag-ons a little smilie'



Yeah, just noticed they come in adventure packs.
What was the MSRP for these packs?

^ Nope, it used to be $20, but now it is $25.

Found Dragons Peak for 129 SEK (shipped, around 18 USD), so ordered.
Crypt, still no luck.

My plan now is getting all S1 NOT reposed and then wait for drops for S2 figures.

Made one mistake though, ordered Voodood (with some other figures) before realizing there is a triple pack available with Boomer, Voodood and Prism Break.
I could send back Voodood but it's basically not worth it...

So, I will probably just bite the sour and take it with an extra Voodood, maybe I can sell it later and get my money back.

EDIT2: Just realised I spent like 200 dollars on 2 games (Giants+SSA) and only getting 2 games. What a rip off smilie
I just love collecting stuff, but it's too expensive smilie
