^ Yeah, I want to see them GLOW!

My Target store had the cards in and the dog tags.

Picked up 4 packs, as well as one of the dog tags (They're $1.99 and $2.99 respectively)

In the packs I got:

-Evil Imp Minion (aka, Ghost Roaster minion) (#108)
-Viking Helmet (#120)
-Prism Break (#31) [This is the standard character card with the stock image]
-Fez (#117)
-holo Sprocket (#137) [that was the sound of Nibelilt screaming to the ancients]
-Wrecking Ball (#41) [This is one of the character in game. I guess there's probably 2 for each character?]
*This is the only pack that had the little thingie that sets off the merchandise detectors at the door

-Cyclops Mammoth (#103)
-Sunburn (#10)
-Rocket Imp (#87)
-holo Double Trouble (#129)
-puzzle piece A2
-Double Trouble (#39)

-Persephone (#112)
-Rhu-Barb (#88)
-Eruptor (#11)
-Cynder (#17)
-holo Ninjini (#170) [Unlike the other 2, her name is actually etched into the card. There's a slight texture over it. I dunno if it's just for giants or something special?]
-Bash (#62)

-Hob 'N' Yaro (#94)
-Bone 'N' Arrow (#78)
-Zap (#1)
-holo Fright Rider (#143)
-puzzle piece B3
-Terrafin (#65)

And I got Gill Grunt on the dog tag.

Also some kind of weird contest thing on the packs too? Here's the full thing.

"Approximate Odds per pack of finding special inserts: Foil Cards 1:2, Rainbow Foil Giants 1:2, Rainbow Foil Lightcore 1:8, Coloring Cards 1:8.

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY: Open to US/Canadian (except Quebec) residents. For a chance to obtain any of the inserts listed above, at the same odds, while supplies last, hand print your name and complete address on a 3x5 card and mail in a #10 envelope to SKYLANDERS COLLECTOR CARDS, THE TOPPS COMPANY, INC.' PO BOX 785, PITTSON, PA 18640. only one card per envelope, mailed separately, postmarked by January 30th 2013 and received by February 6, 2013. No metered mail. Limit 8 requests per household for SKYLANDERS COLLECTOR CARDS. Failure to comply will result in all entries disqualified. Drawings on or about February 13 2013. Potential Canadian winners will be required to first correctly answer a mathematical skill-testing question: 10+5x2-8=?

Topps does not, in any manner, make any representation as to whether its cards will attain any future value."

Seems like you can in essence get 8 free cards from them. But, ok those last few sentences...they have to be trolling.

The Ninjini you got is a factory error, I guess..

It's like, all holographic. The regular ones are mirror holographic around, and then the picture is slightly holographic too, but the name is solid. Ninjini is the same, except the name is holographic too. (It's like bronze color)

I think it might just be for giants. I guess I'll have to get some more to see haha

Please post the pics of the legendary and GITD cards so us UK users can see what we are missing

I might be able to at some point, but to get the GitD effect it won't work on my camera. Those cards images are exactly like the ones from the 1st 32, the GitD effect is rather cool looking.

ShaneG.

Nethertheless....pics please

Found mine at TRU. Even had the collector starter book. Sadly it doesn't contain the Master Eon card so we may have to turn to the UK for that one. My set so far

L5- leg. Jet-vac
L6- leg. Ignitor
L7- leg. Spyro
L8- leg. Stealth elf
G4- spyro
G5- stump smash
G6- trigger happy

As far as I know, those only come with the book. Here are what came in the packs.
1- zap
6- double trouble
14- boomer
20- ghost roaster
22- whirlwind
28- stealth elf
36- slam bam (screenshot)
44- eruptor (screenshot)
52- hex (screenshot)
53- ghost roaster (screenshot)
59- stump smash (screenshot)
66- pirate seas (location)
72- empire of ice (location)
78- bone 'n' arrow (enemy)
82- squidface brute (enemy)
91- moon widow (enemy)


Cant wait to get more. I have a spare #44 if anyone want to trade a double. It only costs a stamp.

Just thought about it.. why don't we start a trading post for doubles so we can trade with each other... be fun!

Will anyone post the pics please?

I'll trade a Master Eon card and a bunch of other cards if anyone can get theirs hands on a set of legendary cards. If you want to talk pm me. Just putting that out there.

I would like the master Eon card. I'l be happy to trade a legendary card pack for it.

US collectors..I would be willing to trade my doubles to complete my set and help you complete yours. I will ship mine in card protectors and would like the same. Let me know if your interested? Also, which vendor would be good to go through to purchase the UK Leg Dark Spyro tin?

i have a Foil 141 Chop Chop for trade, only looking Foil Newlanders and Giants

I have a Foil Ninjini Card I would be willing to trade for another foil card.

Got my European binder w/ a ton of cards today. Will post what I got card wise later I really need to get my hands on the TRU legendary (American) version eventually.

Got 5 packs today. Interesting pulls, will post later. I ended up getting 2 Lightcores in the 5 packs. (Shroomboom and Eruptor)

Giants are different- their names are like etched into the card, along with the lcs.

Another America exclusive... Eh?

EB games have the trading cards.

But the starter pack we get is the same as the UK, not the US TRU exclusive one.

*** I made a thread looking for Aussie card traders as I even already have a duplicate reflective card and colouring card that I would like to trade (PM me) ***

Got myself two binders and two fat packs today

Quote: SkyDaddy

I bought the TRU exclusive binder ($9.99) and 5 of the jumbo packs($5.99 each) to check this product out. I like them and I'll probably collect all of them. The quality is of the card itself is really good.

The TRU Collector's Binder will contain:
*Binder with a Skylander Giants game artwork as an insert sheet for the front and back. Both sheets carry 1 page of the card checklist.
*2 Regular Packs (6 cards each) with random cards.
*TRU Exclusive cards containing Legendary Jet-Vac, L-Spyro, L-Ignitor and L-Stealth Elf. The Legendary Foil cards have a gold character names
*The Exclusive pack will also contain a special trigger happy, stump smash and spyro card that has an embossed outline. Pretty cool.

The Jumbo packs are 2 packs connected together consisting of 9 cards each (total of 18).
Random cards but I got 2 foils in one of the pack so that was pretty cool

The Regular packs which contain 6 random cards.
Both the packs contained 1 foil card.


Card info
All cards are of high quality print with a black border.
Foil cards have a silver foil border and a foil character picture

Card Checklist Summary
Regular (1-123)
Enemy, Item and Skylander character cards

Foil Cards (124-155)
All Skylander characters cards

All Lightcore Skylander characters cards

Giants Cards also foil cards (164-171)

But the starter pack we get is the same as the UK, not the US TRU exclusive one.

That's the thing about Australia we tend to get the sloppy seconds. The Kid Icarus AR cards we got are the US versions.

Have you been to a TRU? I have only seen the card packs at EB for $3. I haven't seen the starters yet.

I have both USA TRU starter packs for trade/sale, but not looking for any cards as I already have a deal to complete my set. Course I might be interested in a box of German cards (still debating if I want to try and collect those).

ShaneG.

So I guess nobody wants to post any pics of the legendary and GITD cards?

Can't get the Glow in the Dark cards to show up actually glowing on camera.

ShaneG.

Are there chase cards? If so what are the rarities of these chase cards?

Packs I got included:

Gill Grunt (#3)
Wrecking Ball (#8)
Life Spell Punk (#92)
holo Gill Grunt (#126)
holo Lightcore Shroomboom (#160)
Dino-Rang (#63)
*This one had the little alarm thing in it so you can't steal the packs..*

Lightning Rod (#23)
Plunger Head Had (#119)
Kaos' Hydra (#123)
holo Ignitor (#132)
puzzle piece B9
Trigger Happy (#49)

Dragon's Peak (#75)
Water Dragon [aka, Zap Minion] (#80)
Rotting Robbie (#85)
holo Crusher (#168)
puzzle piece B8
Boomer (#47)

Eruptor (#11)
Cynder (#17)
Hob 'N' Yaro (#94)

Sunburn (#43)

Bone 'N' Arrow (#78)

So I got two of the rarest ones in 5 packs. Not too shabby haha

Thanks

We need to have a trading corner for these cards! I don't think I want to spend anymore on Skylanders! LOL

I've got tons of doubles that should be enough to get me my missing cards. All we need is for Dark to allow us to trade?

This^ I have so many doubles, and even have some triples. I think I even have 6 of one type of card and like 4 Foil Chills....I'd be willing to trade too if Dark would allow it. Perhaps someone should ask? I know this would be helpful to alot of people though.

I have the following doubles I can trade

Foil Ninjini #170
Ghost Roaster #20
Prism Break #31
Viking Helmet #120
Evil Imp Minion #108

I tried to take a picture of a glow in the dark card andso this is the beat I could get

How many cards can the TRU binder fit?

I didn't even know we got the AR Cards, I just automatically assumed we didn't. Other than the ones with the game that is.

How many cards can the TRU binder fit?

14 sleeves which you can have 4 cards each or 8 cards each. Using 8 cards each sleeve you can have 112 cards total. I did not use the binder because I do not trust the sleeve material. I have a 2 inch Ultra Pro binder which contains a couple of my pokemon cards which I used instead. I wish topps put more effort on the binder and actually have more sleeves AND maybe a better way to cover it instead of the papert insert. I don't mind paying a little more for a quality product.

We need to ask Dark to allow card trading...hopefully! I've got a couple to trade!

The TRU folders have only 56 sleeves so 56 cards unless you put two in each one. So either 2 or 4 folders are needed to store the entire collection. Bit of a rip off really I guess....dont know why they cant make just one binder big enough. Does anyone know if the UK collection binder can store all the cards?

The UK Binder holds ALOT more (I have it) I actually don't have the TRU one; Yet. But anywho, the Uk Binder I do believe holds all cards. I have quite a few cards myself and its not even no where near full yet.

I'm getting the uk binder in the mail. If you look up that vid from youtube that was posted here a while ago, the person shows most of the cards in the binder with plentt of room. It will also display the puzzle cards better. I'm using the TRU bindersto hold the cards that came with the figures. So its not a waste.

the uk binder holds all of the cards and then still has 2 empty pages that can be filled

Got some more packs of cards today, and came across my first coloring card- Stealth Elf! I've also now got a bunch of extras so yeah, I think I'd be up for swapping if we can do that. Ninjini seems to be really common for some reason haha

Can't wait to head to TRU though to grab one of those things. Maybe I'll try next week sometime since I just want to get the 3 packs for their bogo 50% off deal.

They were available on club nintendo for awhile.

I managed to find one of the skyalanders giants packs yesterday EB only had one pack left got a rainbow tree rex. But where are these available in Australia?

I finally found the jumbo packs at target last night. We were getting some Beyblades and on an end cap there they were. First time I saw them at my target. So if your looking for the 18 card pack check the toy section. They are $1 less than the 6 packs for 18 cards.

PM's always welcome

Why do people on here say they want to trade and even agree what cards they are going to trade **cough cough umm Dunkin cough cough** but then never do? i guess you have to be careful who you trade with but when someone does that and then doesnt even have the decency to return a message to you to let you know whats going on I just find it incredibly rude and arrogant. Just wanted to let peole on here know that if you do trade then be carfeul who its with. I guess some users cant be relied upon and even trusted.

I am 19 cards short of a full set. I bought 5 more packs last night, and I only got 1 card I haven't.

I have a crap-ton of dupes. This is going to be tough.

Awesome.

Do you (as in the USA) have the 'color me in' cards? cos us UK fans don't have GITD OR Legendary cards
