Went to Target tonight, hoping to score the new swappers (no luck there). However, I did see a Jade Flashwing on a peg. We already have her, but they only had one and I haven't seen her in the store since last spring. I thought about buying her just to keep for trading, but I decided to pass since trading rarely works out for me and I just wind up stuck with a duplicate figure I don't need or, worse, I get burned by someone who doesn't hold up their end. I lost three Jade Flashwings that way last year. :-/

I would say yes, you should have bought her.

Yes imo yes

I would say no. Trading has never worked out well for you in the past. I wouldn't bother.

I wouldn't bother with trading, unless you can actually meet in person.

Yes they go for a lot to the right person.

Now before anyone calls me a scalper I'm not. A scalper buys all of the stock then sells it, then there's someone who takes an opportunity to make so quick money.

I'm not interested in making a quick buck off of anyone. This is a kids' game and anything driving up prices bothers me. I would really only be interested in having it to trade for something else that is harder to find, like a Polar Whirlwind.

Anyhoo, if anyone is in the area and needs her, they might still have Jade at the Salem, Oregon Target store on Center street. There was only one last night.

You could easily get a Polar Whirlwind for her.

My Target never gets exclusives. So yes.

Ummmm, you said you would buy it (the OP said there was only one on a peg, so that would be buying all of the stock) because "they go for a lot" (meaning you would also sell it). Call me crazy, but that's pretty scalper-rific.

If you need her, yes. If you don't need her, no. Sounds like no.

Wait...you sent characters to folks who take your product and stiff you on yours? Did you qualify that they were legal? I've had three or four good deals here and have met some nice folks here...sorry to hear that (and if they were from here...PM me their names so I can avoid them).

I would love to find one it's my favorite skylander and I can't find one at all if I saw it I would have bought it on the spot

If you start buying a skylander just to use it for a future trade then i think you have enough skylanders.

I'd be happy to swap a new Polar Whirlwind for a Jade Flashwing! I don't have a Jade Flashwing in my collection. I bought one for my nephews back when I didn't know much about Skylanders and in-game variants, and now I can't find one.

yea. it should've been with you
