Every year, a new Skylanders game is released into the market and its website changes which revolves about the latest series. These are eras of Skylanders series.

So far, we've gone through these eras:
- Skylanders Spyro Adventure, 2011 - 2012
- Skylanders Giants, 2012 - 2013
- Skylanders SWAP Force, 2013 - 2014
- Skylanders Trap Team, 2014 - 2015
- Skylanders SuperChargers, 2015 - 2016 (where we are now)

My favourite era so far is Skylanders SWAP Force: I liked the new diverse characters there, but in future eras out there weren't as many. What's yours?

SWAP Force
Character hunting was more interesting for some reason

Trap Team is still my most favorite. But I feel that SuperChargers will be even more exciting. I will miss playing as some my favorite Villains, but at least I can still keep the crystal Traps, and use them as elemental energy boosters for SuperCharger Vehicles.

Swap Force, because it's when I started playing the Skylanders games. Since all characters were already released (I started collecting in 2014), I could easily choose those I liked the most. Plus, there were still a lot of SSA and Giants characters in stores other than ToysRUs.

Still happier with Giants,and the Giants year as a whole. We started getting books,mobile games, extra merch, and the game itself still feels like the most polished(as polished as the engine gets,mind you) and fun experience. TFB noticed they had a huge franchise in their hands and they handled it much better than some bigger teams would've.

In spyros adventure I didn't hunt at all but started with Giants so hunting wise the best hunting adventures was in Giants but swap force is up there too. Trap team was good but my stores haven't carried lots and didn't get much only like 6 trap masters but still want some more and cores. I have to say gameplay wise I liked trap team and Giants but hunting wise Giants and swap force. Swap force levels were long and some days I liked that and some I didn't mostly didn't. I think superchargers will be good in all places. I hope to see more levels added because since I hate finishing the game fast I still haven't finished trap team to keep it fresh.

Swap Force was by far my most favorable era. As much as I enjoyed the other toys for Bob games, I think VV produces a more polished product. Looking forward to Super Chargers!

Classic SSA

I think this one will top it off.
But as it is, the first remains the best.

Trap team is my favourite. It brought my favourite Skylander (knight light) and the villains were a great addition.

Trap Team BY FAR! The best line up of Skylanders, great and inventive gimmick, introduced many amazing ideas and was the most fun era to go through.

Spyro's Adventure/Giants and Swap Force.

Swap Force but maybe that'll change as Superchargers seems to be my fav concept , I don't see the gimmick being as to sell more for their benefit but a new sort of game play for us as fan service. I still think Trap team's gimmick was pointless so is Giants but at least Giants seemed reasonable , Swap Force similar to Superchargers was a new way of gameplay for fans by mixing elements which should have crossed the minds of many since the first game. Also as a collector superchargers will be less stressful and less expensive to collect for , 20 skylanders , 20 vehicles, you get 3 with the game that leaves 18 skylanders and 19 vehicles.

Wave 1 (my prediction but it makes sense)- Spitfire, Stormblade , New Stealth elf, New Trigger happy, New Terrafin , Dive-Clops, Goat supercharger , Either water or Undead supercharger depending on what element diveclops is

Wave 2- 3 more superchargers and 3 more vehicles one of them being jet vac and his vehicle

Giants. The only game where I could say they fixed things about the previous game without adding in more problems. Level length was just right, the gimmick wasn't as intrusive as it is now, the character roster was great.

SSA. It was the most original in all of the series. Only 32 regular figures, and the levels were great, lots of them, I especially like how they have their own elemental themes. I don't like how the later games advanced to other things, but I still enjoy them. Sadly, I wasn't getting in any money in late 2011 to 2012, collection of all characters would've been easy unlike the other games. Going to have to focus on EB Games' used section.
