Not the best shot - I need to replace two light bulbs in the room (out of the weird ones this light fixture takes - planning to go buy some later tonight), then I want to use a better camera (and not my camera phone) - but here's 554, mostly packaged, Skylanders figures, traps, toys, etc. for ya. Then, need to figure out how to get my Giants display into the room (the doorway is kinda blocked there... whoops)

Finally went through the trouble of rebuilding my spreadsheet that was lost as well. That was a lot of work. Gr.

Better shots of everything, for anyone who cares. :D

well i wasent sure if i should post this here or in a new topic but i decided to be safe and post it here.

ive been working on a custom display for my figures for some time now. its my first wood working project so it took me a long time. my displays are for 1 game each and right now ive only build the SA and giants displays, the SF,TT and superchargers will come at a later date... like much later, maybe in the next year? idk i need more money first. but speaking of money this in total cost me like $150-$200. the wood cost the most, a 4x8x1/4 ply of maple and 4x8x1/8 of maple as well, i wanted to use nice wood for this. the plan for my displays are to have a led light under each figure to light them up from below giving a nice glow effect, each figures card will be displayed behind the figure. no room for variants just 1 of each normal figure and magical item. variants just go on my "shelf of skylanders that i dont know where to put yet" i got 20 pictures in total all from my camera phone so some of them are blurry and instead of posting each pic ill just post the link so this isint a 20 foot post. ill also give some details of the picture and the current step im on.

first cut of all the wood and gives the general layout of the displays, the first is for giants ( 6 shelves) the 2nd for SA (5 shelves). the selves will be a sandwich of the 1/8 and 1/4 maple to make them hollow so i got room for the led lights.

holes drilled for the led lights and all of them glued into place, only 1 display is shown here.

test of the light concept, here you can start to see the effect i was going after.

blurry pic of the shelves being assembled
http://i.imgur.com/y3ShCPa.jpg
all shelves assembled and drying over night. the gaps you see are to provide access to the light in case i need to fix something, and yes i have had to fix 1 bulb already.
http://i.imgur.com/x57LqFP.jpg
gluing together the frame of the giants display. this was a crap shoot. i had nothing to clamp it with because i cut the corners at a 45 degree angle to make it look nicer, i just had to tape the edges together as hard as i can, square up the frame and hope it bonded strong enough, thankfully it did.
http://i.imgur.com/3AznblZ.jpg
for each display i cut grooves into the side frame pieces for the shelves to slid into. this way i didnt have to nail/glue the shelves into place and i can remove them later if work needed to be done like a burnt out bulb or something.

both displays with shelves in place.
http://i.imgur.com/dpnU9jO.jpg
both displays with the molding put on, the backing ive had the entire time, this is just the first pic i took with them resting on them. also i put the same frame molding on the inside between each shelf, i cut slots in the back of them to hide the wires for all the lights.
http://i.imgur.com/V7sDaOq.jpg
close up pic of the molding, used half inch quarter round for the frame and a 1 and 1/16 for the shelves. im 95% sure the selves molding is really floor molding but it works.

staining the displays, after sanding of course.

giants display. at a glance you can tell i dont have all the giants figures yet. also if you looked hard an noticed there is an extra slot, this is for the volcanic vault once i get one. yea it has a green base but im ok with 1 green light in a sea of orange.
http://i.imgur.com/bBomQtE.jpg
and giants with lights on.
http://i.imgur.com/KkD7RFJ.jpg
because my giants display is mostly empty i decided to put some of the SF and TT figures in and move them out as i slowly get more giant figures.

i still have some touch up work to be done, some glue was left over that i though i got off so ill need to sand those spots and restain them but im out of stain right now. welp thats my display, i hope you guys like them. i know i do.

Wow. Great work Alphawolf. I see that this really takes time and money, and looks gorgeous. Waiting to see with the Swap Force, Trap Team and SuperChargers figures, aside from the rest of the Giants.

Well done Alphawolf...i am a mastercraftsman(master woodworker). Your shelfing displays looks real good for a first time doing this kinda of thing. A pointer for you...when clamping 45's you can use a automotive clamp strap....there only an inch wide....and work good.

Not to mech'in there way cheaper then a set of 45 degree wood clamps. Just fold up some scrap from a cardboard box and stuff it between the strap and the wood.

That's beautiful alphawolf. I may do it as well with my small collection and adding custom wallpapers on the background.

Wow, Alphawolf, that looks incredible!

https://youtu.be/8efSqyC_hlo Alphawolf...love the idea with the leds....had the same idea just didnt know how to wire it all up...i thought about led Christmas tree lights .....cutting up the strand to make it work....and leds are cheap that way....got the idea on here cant remember where i saw it ...but one user on here used black lights to light up bottoms looked real good also!

wow that is a impressive collection, that display is huge!!! for the led light is found a place online that sold 100 bulbs for like 5 bucks, it took a month to get here from china even thou it was air mail. wiring them up is the easy part, some basic soldering skills are needed and im no pro at it yet i was able to wire everything up. the main this is finding the a good power supply. the power supply determines everything from the number of bulbs you string together before making a new circuit and how many bulbs you can have in total. you can use resisters to change to amps and volts too but that opens another set of issues, mainly finding the correct resister. to much power it burns out the bulbs, to little and they wont light up. the bulbs also matter, different bulbs draw different amounts of power. my bulbs were 3 volt bulbs and i think 15 miliamps? but i used a 12 volt 300 miliamp power supply and this turns out to be perfect for about 50 bulbs. when me and my dad first tested it with only 4 bulbs we found it was delivering to much power to each bulb. after i finished and tested it with all the bulbs wired together it came in at the perfect amount for each bulb. there is alot to electricity and there are formulas out there to help you figure it all out, if you have and know how to use a volt meter that helps too. i dont myself but my dad does and he helped me out with it.

My collection of all the customs I did in 2015 (Doesn't include my four-tone swappers, I finished them here in early 2016)
I like to refer to this as "Wave 1" of my customs

• Inverted Swarm
  
• Harvest Camo
  
• Enigmatic Stealth Elf
  
• Borax Ignitor
  
• Radiant Trigger Happy
  
• Sorcerer's Stump Smash
  
• Sorcerer's Tree Rex
  
• Neon Thumpback
  
• Neon Boom Jet
  
• Neon Terrafin
  

Probably anyone that has been here since the beginning of Skylanders heard me whine a day or another about not having a proper display or working on things relating to the display, or looking for a place to put my shelves in. Well, FIVE years later, I finally have a display!



Imgur album so this page doesn't stretch beyond imagination

Camera wasn't collaborating so sorry for the shadows. It's really simple,two glass shelves(of questionable quality because the place we got them sucks,so next objective is to replace them eventually), and stuff I accumulated from the packaging over the years all over the walls with some backgrounds from the Trap Team achievements. A bit of a scotch tape mess, but the other people in the house just insisted I couldn't directly glue them on the wall even if the paint's getting ruined either way. Top shelf is my modest team, still going to arrange them in a better way that doesn't obscure the background and whatnot, bottom shelf are boxes,books, portals and traps(maybe other gimmick items in the future).

I know it looks cheap and small but after so long, I'm really happy with just having a space for my beloved franchise. Well, maybe, I'm still deciding on putting the portals back on another shelf to make space for a small Undead-themed place on the bottom area, but there IS somewhere and that's plenty.

Wow you finaly have a display?!? ....gee and it only tolk you 5 years *ducks*

All my non-variant, non-repaint skylanders so far. I felt like putting them on the table again. I just need Wham-Shell to complete the SSA set! Why did I neglect to buy him used at an EB Games during a mall trip? Still got all giants and swappers, but I cut myself to one trap master of each element and got rid of the extra ones. I was supposed to find all of the trap masters but they are SO HARD to find now. Used SSA and SG are easy to find at my EB Games.



I have my light and dark stuff atop a shelf, with my special red drill sergeant, which I also got used. I didn't know he made a really good trap holder!

Thinking of doing a full roll call of every one of my figures again because I don't know, as well as a list of everything...

I guess you could say when you buy another Skylander, you're on a roll! Looks like that's what you have to do to get in and out of that room.

They're not generally displayed like that. Sadly, I lost the ability to display them in any real fashion somewhere around SWAP Force. But yes, I had to crawl under the right-hand side for this mess to go through the door way a couple of times while getting it all together. ;)

My collection is so huge at the moment.
I dont even know if I'll be able to play all my figures...
I'm gonna need to stop buying. It's kind of a problem atm.

A 26 years old boy with an addiction for a kid videogame.
I'm cursed

Ugh, had to do this with the thing I call a phone.























The last one was for everything I forgot.

Well I figured I show my collection as we wait for Imaginatiors. I have, EVERYTHING!

Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure



Skylanders: Giants



Skylanders: Swap Force



Skylanders: Trap Team

The Skylanders
For , I have the green/orange base Sidekick figures rather than the red base Mini figures. They hold memories, and I didn't want to replace them.


The Traps
Yeah, I got the Yawn Traps!


I also have the six Variant Villains in the traps you see above...



Skylanders: Superchargers



Eon's Elite



Autographs
Yes, for some of my Skylander toys, I got autographs on them!

• Series 1 Spyro: Tom Kenny - Met him at SDCC 2012
  
• Series 2 Spyro: I-Wei Huang - Met him at SDCC 2014
  
• Mega Ram Spyro: Josh Keaton - Met him at SDCC 2014
  
• Series 1 Flashwing: Tara Strong - Met her at SDCC 2014
  
• Wash Buckler: John DiMaggio - Met him at SDCC 2014, he misspelled his name as "Swash Buckler"
  
• Big Bubble Pop Fizz: Bobcat Goldthwait - Met him at a comedy club this year. His autograph is smudged. I was deciding whether to have him sigh this toy, or Series 1 Pop Fizz. Clearly, I made the wrong choice.
  
• Swap Force Portal of Power: Richard Horvitz - Met him at SDCC 2014
  

It took me two hours to take all these pictures! And each and every Skylander has both upgrade paths purchased thanks to that wonderful Portal Master upgrade in Superchargers allowing you to switch upgrade paths for all Skylanders. Also, for all of the Skylanders compatible with previous games, (Series 2,3,4; Lightcore; Eon's Elite) I have taken them all into the previous games they're compatible with and done all Heroic Challenges and Quests possible for each of them. I play each Skylander to the fullest! So yeah, there's my collection.

impressive. its kind of cool to see just how many more figures they have added each year, i think less is more, i dont want 50+ figures to get for 1 game, ill never play them all.

@SpcePirateMnky, thats one mind blowing collection

do you have all the guide books for each game?

No, I don't have any of the strategy guides. The only book I have is the Book of Kaos, which I got for free as a part of the GameStop Imaginatiore pre-order bonus.

To lazy to put pictures, but I basically have everything from every game except the Yawn Traps. I'm soon to get Thrillipede soon and finish my SuperChargers collection. Yay!

I have not posted pictures of my collection since 2011 hahaha

My collection has grown dramatically, that's an understatement!
....think I would even give the Guinness World Record guy a run for his money!!!!


COME CHECK OUT MY HOUSE.....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNTcwK_ROUk

Too lazy to put pictures, but I got tons of Skylanders. I even have a Factory Error Mega Ram Spyro! It has an orange blot of paint on its face.

Here's my collection as of 7/20/2016



And here's the crown jewel, who arrived just 2 days ago


EDIT: I'm new to this forum, so I have no idea how to post images. Oh well I tried

I recently finished my Trap Team collection, and I just bought Thrillipede! Aside from some traps, I have a complete collection! All figures, in-game variants, magic items, and a few chase variants and a prototype.

I have around 90-100 Skylanders.

Smallish collection update. I don't really know where it was at last time, tho.



Some stuff in my guestbook is not pictured, they're elsewhere.



Some of my favorites on my second custom display, finally sealed and fixed to the wall.

Here's my collection. Only really interested in Trap Team and earlier, but I love the franchise nonetheless. Only been collecting for around two moths and everything except SSF and STT starters, and Zoo Lou was preowned.

http://imgur.com/gallery/G7lsX

I'm moving into a new house, where i get my own room. So i'm finally able to display my boxed figures. Getting shelves for the open guys tomorrow. (don't mind the other ttl figures)

Hello there. I figured the best way to introduce myself was to show the kind of Skylanders I like and have. I don't try to collect them all (I'm only doing that with Creation Crystals) but I pick some of my favourites and now I have a humble collection of toys. I also have the Magic/Tech Book of Elements, a few posters and a few cards from a strange Swap Force collectors' card range.
So I laid out my collection and took a few pictures of them however I am unable to post the pictures as of now (as they were taken on another device). Listed on how I shelve them (which is slightly jumbled but organised enough), this is my collection of 76 unique Skylanders figures. I first got into the franchise in 2012 when I got the first game for my birthday and have had every game since then. After Trap Team I kinda stopped collecting because there was too much to collect at one point - Adventure Packs, core Skylanders, traps, the ever-so-expensive Trap Masters, and then vehicles, SuperChargers and trophies - but I'm back into it as of Imaginators. By the way, I play via Wii U.
First we start off with cores, which are listed by element.
Air:
1. Warnado (SSA)
2. Jet-Vac (Giants)
3. Lightning Rod (Giants)
4. Sonic Boom (Giants)
5. Whirlwind (Giants)
Earth:
1. Bash (SSA)
2. Dino-Rang (SSA)
3. Prism Break (Giants)
4. Slobber Tooth (SSF)
Water:
1. Gill Grunt (SSA)
2. Slam Bam (SSA)
3. Zap (x2; SSA)
4. Zap (Giants)
Tech:
1. Boomer (SSA)
2. Trigger Happy (SSA)
3. Drill Sergeant (Giants)
4. Sprocket (Giants)
5. Sprocket (SSF)
Fire:
1. Eruptor (SSA)
2. Flameslinger (Giants)
3. Hot Dog (Giants)
4. Torch (STT)
Life:
1. Shroomboom (Giants)
2. Stump Smash (Giants)
3. Zook (Giants)
4. Ninja Stealth Elf (SSF)
5. Food Fight (STT)
Magic:
1. Spyro (SSA)
2. Voodood (SSA)
3. Pop Fizz (Giants)
Undead:
1. Hex (x2; SSA)
2. Chop Chop (Giants)
3. Cynder (Giants)
4. Fright Rider (Giants)
Then we have the very few lightcores that I have. I'm not really a fan of this gimmick. Reposed Skylanders are cool but when they only have very little changes, it gets kinda pointless. Listed by element.
Earth:
1. Prism Break (Giants)
2. Flashwing (Giants)
Magic:
1. Star Strike (SSF)
Then of course we have the gimmicklanders. Giants, Swap Force, Trap Team (and minis as a bonus!), SuperChargers, Senseis and Imaginators. Some of my favourite Skylanders are Gimmicklanders, such as Lob-Star, King Pen and my overall favourite Magna Charge.
Giants:
1. Swarm (x2)
2. Crusher
3. Thumpback
4. Bouncer
5. Hot Head
6. Tree Rex
7. Eye Brawl
Swap Force:
1. Wash Buckler
2. Freeze Blade
3. Magna Charge
4. Blast Zone
5. Fire Kraken
6. Rattle Shake
Trap Team:
1. Snap Shot
2. Lob-Star
3. Blastermind
Minis/Sidekicks:
1. Trigger Snappy (SSA)
SuperChargers:
1. Turbo Charge Donkey Kong
2. Super Shot Stealth Elf
Senseis:
1. Golden Queen
2. King Pen
3. Flare Wolf
In this section I have also listed what Imaginator is contained in the crystal. You'll probably find out more about these Imaginators as I continue to post here.
Creation Crystals (Imaginator):
1. Undead (Shellraiser)
2. Tech (Wimpistol)
3. Water (Pirate Irate)
4. Fire (Phasmaflame)
Now my four variants. I don't collect variants much as they're a bit expensive and hard to hunt for. Sorted by type.
Legendaries:
1. Legendary Free Ranger (SSF)
2. Legendary Zoo Lou (SSF)
Other:
1. Dark Spyro (SSF)
2. Springtime Trigger Happy (SSF)
And now of course, magic items.
Locations:
1. Empire of Ice (SSA)
I've put the villain that's trapped in each trap here as a bonus.
Traps (Currently Trapped Villain):
1. Water Tiki (Gulper)
2. Life Hammer (Broccoli Guy)
I've put the corresponding SuperCharger here as a bonus.
Vehicles:
1. Barrel Blaster (Turbo Charge Donkey Kong)
Magic Items:
1. Sparx Dragonfly (SSA)
2. Sky-Iron Shield (SSA)
3. Anvil Rain (SSA)
4. Dragonfire Cannon (Giants)
5. Scorpion Striker Catapult (Giants)
So there, that's my collection. Hopefully you can see what type of Skylanders I like from this selection, and maybe get to know me throughout my time posting here.

Okay, so now that I've got all of the Spyro's Adventure characters, I think it's a good time to show my shelf. Nothing too much, but what you guys think? Sorry again for the bad camera (open the image at a new tab to see it correctly).

I'm new to Skylanders (kinda), so I figured I'd introduce myself. I'm Goblin.
Now that that's out of the way, I may as well show you mine and the wife's meager collection along with some history. I'm 24, and first became aware of Skylanders when I got my job at ToysRUs, around the time SA first came out. I was over night freight for two nights out of the week, and "R Zone" Video games for another three days. I unpacked a lot of Skylanders, one being a Silver Eruptor, the other a Glowing Zap. I ended up buying the Zap since I had a glow in the Dark collection of things. Once that fad faded for me, I was left with a figure I didn't care about, and my only Skylanders up until 2 weeks ago. It sat in a closet in a box for years, until my wife asked about it one day when we were digging through it. I told her about it, and her being a fan of Spryo games and me always loving a coop game with the wifey, she loved the idea and we went and bought the portal, Giants, and some second hand landers. We're trying to keep it Minimal, but it's slowly growing with her love of Dragons, and my love of robots and Goblins (Trolls in this case I guess.)

Welcome to DS. With a GITD Zap, you can't call your collection meager. They are rare and go for a fortune on ebay.

If it was unopened maybe, but sadly the box got crushed long ago, so it's basically a novelty to me.

Thanks though! Happy to be here.

Hello everyone! I am Slvr, and I originally got into Skylanders late 2012, around Christmastime. I was 12. My brother had gotten the glossy white Xbox 360 combo with Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, but he didn't seem all that interested in it, and so I decided to take a look into it. This was a (happy!) mistake. After playing nonstop with Spyro for four hours, I was hooked. I asked to go to the store the day GameStop opened back up to get some of my own, and I was able to get the starter pack for my Xbox 360 for Skylanders: Giants.

Since then, I have amassed a collection of 402 Skylander figurines, with my 403rd in transit. My collection includes some rarities such as the E3 Chrome Silver Spyro, Crystal Fire Bone Hot Dog with the emerald flames, Color Shift Wash Buckler, Metallic Green Gill Grunt and Shroomboom, Easter Packaging Punk Shock, almost all LightCore variants, almost all in-game variants (i.e., Molten Hot Dog, Jade Flashwing, Jade Fire Kraken, etc...). I have an Employee Edition Prism Break that is currently in transit. My figure total encompasses all figures, from characters, to traps, to crystals, to adventure pieces and magic items, and so forth. I keep track of all of my Skylanders using a google sheet, which includes their level and path information, as well as other information about each figure. I have it set to automatically count the number of figures and to automatically average the levels of my Skylanders. Of the 402 figures in my collection currently, and of the ones that are able to be leveled, my average level is a little over 12 - which is saying something with over 300 playable figurines.

Honestly, it's quite difficult to get a picture of the collection - but once I can, I shall edit this post to include it.

I am so happy to have found this forum, and I will tell you all now - no figure is too rare or too expensive, at some point, I do want it and I will get it. I'm currently working right now on deciding what figures I intend to get after the EE Prism Break because I'm figuring out what the prices are on the characters/figures I still need. I'm thinking my next target will be the Darklight Crypt figures, as I have Ghost Roaster courtesy of a gift from a friend, but he did not give me the adventure piece, the Time Twister, or the Healing Elixir.

Some interesting things to note: I couldn't find Bash, his S1, S2, legendaries, or anything, for ages. I eventually found both S1s used at GameStop and then was able to find S2 Bash cheap online. My S1 Chill has lost her arm 6 times, and each time I've found it and been able to glue it back on. This is the longest she's been able to keep it, as it's been attached firmly for almost 2 years now. Jade Flashwing at one point lost her right wing, and I had to glue-gun that back on. My Swarm once also lost his head, quite literally, and was connected only by the antennae connected to his shoulders. I glued that back as well and his eyes still function and everything. My original S1 Stealth Elf was badly chewed beyond recognition by a dog, and so I ended up getting another S1 Stealth Elf, but I kept the original so I could have different paths (this is before I realized I'd end up with like, 8 Stealth Elves). I had a similar situation with Hot Head and S1 Sprocket (the latter however wasn't horribly damaged, but partof her wrench was broken and it looked bad). This all said, I am generally not hard on my characters, it's just that a lot has happened over the years (and some figures, in their poses, are just easy to break... in fact, I almost broke Legendary Bouncer off his pedestal just getting him out the box). So if I ever reference "gluegun surgeries," that's what I mean. xD Special characters, such as ones that came in special packaging or are fairly rare, I keep in boxes, such as my E3 Spyro, Pumpkin Eye-Brawl, Crystal Hot Dog, etc etc. I keep ALL cards and stickers I get, and they are currently in baggies in my room. I have yet to get card sleeves and binders to keep them in.
