Inb4 We get flooded with S3 Boomer in Swap Force.
I will laugh until Skylanders 4 Comes out if that happens. |

Yeah. I am kind of torn on them bringing these guys back for swapforce. Only because I was really sad not to see wham shell get a re-pose. Otherwise I would say just let them be for the first game.

woah woah woah back up a sec.
Is that a Wonka machine back there? What in the world does that thing do? Also that's pretty neat. I'm still on the lookout for older figures..mostly just seeing Stumpy and Stealth elf though.

And you don't say that lightly!!! Amazon is a good place to find some of the older series one figures for about cost. Not all of them can be found cheap but, some can. |

They are drying out, frankly. TRU and Best Buy online both have a "decent" assortment but probably 50% of them only. Fading away I'm afraid.

My TRUs only have Chop Chop, Hex, Drill Sergeant, and Cynder.
Not to mention the occasional Wham-Shell Wave "6" box set.

Will still be checking the forums every now and then! |

At least you have Chop Chop. I was thrilled when I found an S1 at my TRU. I was really hesitant to buy it since the packaging was broken horribly, but it was the only Chop Chop single I'd seen in months so I got it. Mine seems to keep a steady S1 stock of Whirlwind, Stump Smash, Double Trouble, Ignitor, Flameslinger, and the occasional Voodood.

Well i have many TRU around me in a 30min area. The southern 1 and the express have mostly the ones on tru.com, but i found a voodood at one last week which was neat. The northern 2 have barely any ssa left minus i'd say 4 pegs full and the camo triple pack. The ones out east have alot more of the old game , some have pegs full that didnt sell mostly of the characters hex, chop chop, cyndar, stump smash, whirlwind. I did see a kid with a whamshell the other day, so I guess there is some old stock or it was a return.
I say by this time next year very little if any SSA will be around. Stores need the room for leftover giants and swap force. |
