Today I went to Gamestop to take advantage of their buy 2 get 1 free sale on all used merchandise. While I was there, I was told there was a buy 2 get 3 sale on Skylanders figures. Well, well, how could I resist. I was just thinking of getting into Skylanders. Now was the perfect time. See pic below for all the goodies I got for the price of one new game:
Yea man, I got me some Xbox One games. That's Shadow Warrior, Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor, and Wolfenstein: Old Blood. Then I saw Skylanders: Swap Force starter kit on clearance for $10. That was an easy one. Then there was the buy 2 get 3 free sale on figures, so I got five swap force figures. The one in the middle is actually a duplicate of one in the starter kit because I just didn't look closely enough. Oops. It's the kind of thing that happens when you get swept up in the black friday sales. And I thought I made sure I didn't get any dupes either. Darn it! Anyway, I'm set with Xbox One for a while.
Tomorrow (meaning later today 'cause it's crazy early on Sunday morning right now), I'm going to rearrange what I'm playing next. I may put aside EDF: IA in order to play this new stuff. It'd be just cool to be playing Skylanders by Christmas time. It'd be like I was 10 years old again, but with a 5 o'clock shadow, beer in hand, and a potty mouth to rival a submariner after a six month voyage. Fun, fun, fun.
I don't know how Skylanders will ultimately compete with Disney and Lego.... those are two powerhouses.
Well we can be thankful there's no eagles game on today!
Is Lego doing the figure thing too?
yeah man, look up "Lego Dimensions". Plus Cary just did a blog on it.
Oh yeah, forgot about that. Just read Cary's blog.
Nice haul.
Thanks, but I'm getting nervous about my spending lately. I got to take it easy for a while and let myself catch up.
That's a lot of cool stuff.
I almost got Sunset Overdrive just to try, but then I saw Shadow of Mordor for the same price. Decision made in an instant.
Sunset Overdrive is the first game I'd get for an Xbone since I met the marketing staff when I toured Insomniac w a class.
Those top 3 are awesome games. Enjoy!
Yea, I can't wait to get to them.
Awesome pickups man! If you have a TJ Maxx or a Marshall's go check them out. They have tons of Skylanders Giant figures. They are older but I think you can use them plus they are cheap like $10 for the three pack and I think 3-4 for the singles.
Oh man, I could get really into that. I'm so tempted to make a list of all the figures and go find them. I should take it easy right now though. Too much spending lately, and it's not even Christmas yet! I guess the Swap Force portal of power works on anything up to, but not after, that game?
Yeah I think that's how they get players to constantly buy the newest set with portal.
I guess I could buy the previous games then and use the Swap Force portal for them, and then get all those previous figures too. Oh what I have gotten into. . .
