Any more good deals on these? I saw them as low as $35 on and before BF. Just decided this would be a nice gift for my nephew but not above $40. Best price I see today is $50 at Walmart.
I might settle for swap force. Best price I see for that is $34 at Walmart.
You may have missed the best deals already. I have played all of these with my grandson and I would recommend going for the newest game, Trap Team. It has some nice twists.
I am a huge fan of the Skylanders game. I give partial credit to Skylanders for my DS's higher reading ability. I like Swap Force because the villain is Kaos's mother (girl power!). But I would really recommend Trap Team because I think it's a better game. As the PP said, there are different twists. There are villains to capture and you can play as the villains.
Also, if your kids get into collecting the figures, only the Trap Team game works with all the figures. Now that Trap Team is out, our local Walmart only has a few (leftover) characters from the Swap Force game.
You probably really need a character from each element to win the game and you'll need traps from each element to play with all the villains. But you won't need those immediately. It is fun for my DS to save up to get Skylanders or spend his birthday money for them. It is a collection he enjoys and he plays with the figures sometimes when he's not playing his game. My local game store is a good place to get used Skylanders at a reasonable price.
