Skylanders and Amiibos, Oh My

 Another day, another set of Superchargers and amiibos. Basically I'm only buying amiibos if I can't find five Superchargers to fit the buy 2-get-3-free sale at Gamestop and only ones that I like. Shovel Knight is fantastic. I need one of me called Driver Knight. That'd be cool. I also got one Trap Team character for the same reason. I didn't have him. He's the one with the gigantic scissors.

Top Row: Thrillipede

Middle Row: Astroblast, Short Cut (Trap Team character), Crypt Crusher, Shovel Knight amiibo, Ganondorf amiibo

Front Row: Clown Cruiser, Nightfall, Stealth Stinger

Thrillipede I got new 'cause that was the next to last driver I wanted and no one had it used in my area. I already have the vehicle for Astroblast and Nightfall, so those are complete. I also have the drivers for Crypt Crusher and Stealth Stinger so those are complete too. 

What I have left now is Hammer Slam Bowser to go with the Clown Cruiser and Buzz Wing to go with Thrillipede. I know a place that has Bowser but I'm outta luck with Buzz Wing. I'll have to get that online perhaps. Then I have the three Racing Action Packs: Sea, Sky and Land. Toys R Us has a sale right now making them half price, that'd be $18 each. My Toys R Us only has Sea and Sky though, so I'll have to go online for Land or wait for Gamestop to have a sale on it. They have it but I'm not paying $35 for it, no way. 

So tomorrow will likely be it for Skylanders for a while and I'm kind of glad about it. Enough of this obsession with whimsy.

Do you have the Shovel Knight game?  That's really the only title the Shovel Knight amiibo is good for.  You know I have ALL the amiibo figures, right? :)  Glad you got the Bowser plane.  I hope you get to find the figure to go with it.  My brother Jeff calls it "Cosplay Bowser." :)

Don't have the game yet, but I'll add it to my list. I still want King Dedede badly.

Check your local Walmart. The one here has a bunch of the older figures in the clearance section as well as the starter bundles. I seriously thought about one of the bundles because it was $5 but I don't want to start down that path of buying figures again. I'm already there with Lego Dimensions.

I was going to go to Walmart today, but I vetoed it. Now I think I'll check it out tomorrow.

Lego Dimensions is another one. This time I'm being really selective, but I'm not jumping in until I have the starter pack and it's still too expensive even on sale right now.

I like the guy with the scissors.

Yea that scissors is crazy. Poke your eyes out. I guess it's ok for kids. Bushwack has a giant axe and others have huge swords. I wonder what the suggested age is, 6 plus?

Ha ha, yeah. At least it's not a water gun that looks like a real gun. Yikes.
