Title: Looking for Skylanders figures
Post by: justin8301 on February 18, 2014, 04:31:48 am
So i started playing Spyros Adventure and need just a few more figures to have all the elements. I'm looking for at least one figure for Life, Earth, and Undead. I would prefer them to be complete with card and barcode, new in box would be even better! Needs to be compatible with spyros adventure. Thanks!!

The only ones compatible with the first game are the original characters. You can use the older ones on the newer games but not vice versa.
With that said, my recommendations are :
Magic - Gotta go with Spyro. Its his game after all!
Earth - Personally I like Dino-Rang. Really a strong character when leveled up. Not sure why he hasnt had a series 2/3 character made yet
Water - Slam Bam. All around strong
Fire - Ignitor. When he is at full level, you could put him against any character at all in all 3 games and have a good chance of beating anyone.
Undead - This is a tough one. I dont think any of the original undead characters are any good. But for uniqueness alone, Ghost Roaster
Tech - Drobot. Once you get his autofire attack, he is untouchable.
Air - Another tough one cause of lack of great character. I honestly can not recommend any of them.
Life - This is a tough one cause of 2 great characters. Camo and Stealth Elf. Both are among my top 5 in all 3 games combined. Stealth elf eventually would get the nod cause she actually my all time favorite. Just a tiny ball of ass kicking.

You don't like Chop Chop?  What the hell is wrong with you?  He's a Skeleton Knight.  He was handed down to us by the god of ass-kickery.

Sword and board (for non MMO players thats someone with a 1 handed weapon and shield) fighting isnt my preferred style. Dual wielding is awesome! One reason I really like Stealth Elf I guess. She was from the god of ass-kickery, not Chop Chop. :D

I got too excited and just picked the rest of the figures I needed from amazon... grabbed Dino-Rang, Stealth Elf, and Hex. The only question now is should I be embarrassed that I'm enjoying a kids game so damn much lol.

No problem. I just grabbed them at a used game store in case you wanted them. I'll just take them back. No big deal.

Oh i didnt know you picked them up just for me. damn now i feel bad, I already have the series 1 trigger happy, is there anything different about this one in game, or is it just a different figure pose? If its different I might be able to dip into next months budget a little early.

Don't worry about it. I'll just take it back. I buy stuff there all the time. I'll just get something for me. I just picked them up because they seem to leave the store quickly.

Are they harder to find figures? I should be able to swing the $20. Im just still new to the game and I'm not sure what to look out for, if you think those leave the store quickly maybe I should snap them up!

I don't think they're hard to find. All Skylanders leave this store quick. I just grabbed the two they had. They were $8 each.  I don't think you will have any trouble finding these two.
