Default Skylanders Giants

So has anyone started on these things? I know vhal did the first series but looking into the second it seems like more money grab than brilliant idea like the first series...

Rereleasing the majority of the characters with new looks and skill chips, 8 light up characters, 8 new characters and 8 giants, not to mention glow in the dark versions and anyother thing they can think of...

Already told you on facebook But yeah, I've got the bug again, however, I'm restricted to just lusting after them... as I have no spare cash whatsoever. So will once again be picking them all up late Grr. Damn money issues xx

Your saying the first ones weren't? I've always seen these as a money grab.

I think the first series was a great idea.. But yes also a money grab, its was what every pokemon fan had been saying pokemon should invent for the last 15 years lol, the infinite version possibility is where it will become painfull, ive bought a few of them, but im not going nuts and buying what amounts to +$1500 worth of toys..

At $19 a giant, $15 for a normal skylander $30 for a box set and 69 - 89 for a starter kit its a little much
