Oh!, i defenitely can apreciate a beauty like Kayden Kross :).

Well not a figurine related, but i just received my Xenoblade Chronicles X OST CD and my Bayonetta 2 OST CD..... Japan Import of course.

Congrats on the purchase!  The non-Microsoft console bases are interchangeable to a large extent, but instead of listing all of the rules, I will just share a link:

My guess is that instead of trying to explain all of these rules, it is easier for the employees to just say they are not compatible.

That is a pretty damn good price for those 2 games, and not sure if you picked up what I meant in my long post, but that Superchargers repose of Stealth elf should work fine while playing Trap Team, only when she is being ported into the game she'll most likely just get the name "special" Stealth Elf, since the game will recognise that she has some repose done to her which it doesn't know about.

Playing over Trap Team myself on the PS4 now a bit sad at the elemental gates in it (the toy push element of the games), basically in the first game there was 8 elemental gates which needed to have that element of skylander in play to open, they unlock small extra areas with extra loot and often hats to equip, in giants they added a requirement of some area's to have a Giant figure (which you got with the game) so as long as the single giant you had hasn't died on that stage you could unlock all the areas with it (the game also has the 8 elemental gates still), Swap force requires you to have a giant and 8 of the swappable figures to get everything (but the swapable figures were moderately priced (€13 max) but in trap team the game requires you have 10 seperate trap masters to open pretty much any areas (the original non giant/swap elemental gates are gone completely) each trap master costs between €20-30 so yeah.... €180 or so of closed content, sad times.

Whine aside, the story mode is completely finishable with just the stuff in the box, always! so that isn't a worry.

Also that only thing you got extra Pbroy... that Trap is very specific in what it is used for, and has no use until very very late into the Trap Team game, also it does little to nothing in Superchargers, the Traps and their contained monster characters are a feature that is pretty much exclusive in use to the trap team game. (sorry for not mentioning this earlier!) but yeah, traps = for trap team.

Always point this out to people getting into the game btw, but if you are playing it with someone else it's a great idea to keep an eye out for a figure called Whirlwind, she is from the very first game and can be easily found in 2nd hand stores for under €1 but the thing is she is in my experience the only skylander who can heal others (a traped character can also heal, but trap team exclusive!) but yeah, if you fancy getting far in the games on harder nightmare'y difficulties it's a good idea to pick up whirlwind, that way when you get out of combat you can sub her onto the portal, heal up both figures you are using, then take Whirlwind off again until the next time you get a breather area and can heal up with her.

heh, if you lived in Ireland, she's .80c but I'm sure you can find this figure in most 2nd hand game stores near you!

Shovel Knight Amiibo is glorious

I have Blood ink from Bloodborne does that count?

Another Gill Repose to the collection. Tidal Wave Gill Grunt. Now with a summonable Leviatian of water as a bonus end talent.... I love pay to win games!

https://youtu.be/vL1-o_QGCnM?t=5m42s Guy seems odd! but loves Skylanders and shows the end talent, wont mean much if you haven't seen the character/game but if you have it's a crazy addition to his move set.

Had no intention of playing, even after Disney announced the inclusion of Star Wars into Disney Infinity because it was clearly marketed for kids, but... I picked up Darth Maul and Kylo Ren for $10 a piece over the holidays because they looked pretty nice and they were only $10 a piece. 

So I looked at those two figures on the shelf for several weeks, wondering what they would look like animated and found out I needed to pick up a starter set with the USB reader so I picked one up for $50 with the PS4 Twilight of the Empire set and was able to watch animated versions of the figures move around.

Then I picked up the Rise Against the Empire and The Force Awakens sets for $25 a piece to see the other two Star Wars playsets.

And then I walked into a branch of a toy store that was closing and I picked up a few more Star Wars figures, plus Quorra from Tron and Ultron for $7.50 a piece. 

And then I picked up the Avengers set and Thor for less than $20. 

That was all because I picked up a couple figures for $20. So about $175 for everything. 

Not bad, but quite a bit more than picking up a game for $60 and buying a DLC pack later.

0$

The toys to life idea is probably the best way I've seen DLC packaged to date, it gets game collectors right by the balls and gives a good hard squeeze.

Wasn't a huge fan of the game engine behind infinity myself, love some of the figures tho, I know I'm going to end up with a Stitch figure at some stage just because I love those movies and the figure is very nice looking, great detail too the fact that the base of his figure is what it is.... really fitting and a great movie scene reference :)

Happy collecting!

So far, i've spent $0 on them. I'm considering getting the Shovel Knight Amiibo, since it's the first one that i may actually have a use for.
