Hey guys I'm a collector and keep my skylanders sealed well in the last week I have had 3 just fall apart sitting there on the wall legendary LC Chill Fire kraken and glitter hot head this really upsets me as I have star wars figures older than me still sealed and they have never come apart so what should I do glue them back together or what ???

glue them back together...

ok so any suggestions on glue i should use

I have used simple Elmer's glue to reseal a couple of mine that have opened. If you are hanging them on the wall, gravity will not be working in your favor. A shelf would be a better idea if you have the space.

thanks and yes i know gravity isnt working in my favour but honestly ive had some other figures on the wall for 20 years and they are perfectly fine

Latex clear coat brushed on the plastic and clothes pins to clamp it in place. Works very well if you use enough clear coat, and its pretty easy to line it up.

It's just cheap glue coming apart. Are they in a particularly dry area? My Walmart has had tons of figures fall off the packaging and have to be re-taped together (usually only after I point it out to someone, they just leave them...)

its not particularly dry when they come apart it looks like there was never any glue on them in the first place oh well im getting pretty close to just opening them all lol

No quality control I had a scarlet Ninjini do the same thing in the factory they put a crappy amount of glue on or went to a cheaper glue.

I open everything I own...but I tried the cheap school glue sticks (clear)..and some clothes Pins to secure while drying worked great....and you can use a very light damp cloth to wipe away any excessive glue..I would just open them

I know for a fact a few from eBay labeled as "oriignal sealed" had in fact separated because of the difficulty for me to remove the backing. I think it's going to be customary to just assume for the the first few games that it just happens. I have not seen the problem AT ALL for Trap Team, except for a few traps--no figures. They seem to be finally getting it right.

I've found problems with Trap Team...particularly with singles of cores...had figures comes off the backing with orders from BestBuy.com and TRU.com. The indestructible beasts of packaging are the Trapmasters and Easterlanders.
