The Big Haul

I've graduated college, and am hoping I get hired at my local convenience store this summer for some extra cash, but guess what! We're so back on this blog and I'm finally gonna be posting my hauls again!

So now it's just a matter of what's on the menu since my last Halloween post...

And in order from right to left! We have: 

• Thrillipede (Yes, the GREEN one)
• NIB Riptide 
• Soda Skimmer 
• Buzz Wing 
• NIB Nitro Soda Skimmer
• Series 1 Flameslinger
• Series 2 Zook
• Nightmare Express
• Series 1 Wrecking Ball
• Series 2 Chop Chop
• Wallop
• Skylanders Swap Force 3Ds
• Sea Shadow
• NIB Riot Shield Shredder Life Trap

That's a lot! How did I get the money for this anyways despite not having a job yet? Eheh... Don't worry about that.

I've already rearranged all of my new figures in their proper shelves (at the time of this post I had done it last night, two hours after opening my packages). I've been meaning to do a new collection tour post eventually, since I've rearranged a lot of my stuff and have some new bits of merch to show off too!

With that all being added to my shelves, all I need to finish up my SSA collection are S1 Wham-Shell and S1 Hex! For Superchargers I need Bone Bash Roller Brawl, Double Dare Trigger happy, and the Gold Rusher. I have the Crypt Crusher but it's NIB so I've been thinking to buy a duplicate for display purposes, which is what I did with the Sea Shadow in the photo.

(Psst, they call it the Sea Shadow because it's literally barely visible in my photo...)

And my Youtube channel? Any updates there? Uhh... I'm just a little bit lazy...

Happy (Early) Halloween!

And it's very fitting this time of year that I got my hands on Grim Creeper!

There's a place finally that happens to be a lot closer to home than usual (about 30 minutes away) that has some used Skylanders figures! Unfortunately they seem to be closing down in January of 2025, so I guess my goal has shifted from saving for the Yootooz to trying to get as many figures from this closer place as possible. I think there is a mild flaw in my logic... But the thing is this place has great prices! Every mini is $5... hehe...

I'm going to New York soon too! I wonder if they'll have any Skylanders there...

It feels like christmas morning!

Wow, it's sure been a while since my last haul post huh? I've been occasionally acquiring more Skylanders for a few months but nothing I've deemed enough to post about so far, until yesterday at least...

So here's a post compiling a while of a few more Skylanders!

The earliest one here is the Red Drill Sergeant who I got at a yard sale I think in May? I call him Fruit Gummy Drill Sergeant instead of Red since red it is a bit boring. Speaking of fruit gummies I miss the old Skylanders fruit gummies...

Next is the group of Swap Force characters on the right, purchased off of ebay with some money I got from an online survey. Night Shift, Free Ranger, Legendary Zoo Lou, and the Tower of Time. Now I can 100% Swap Force too! I was missing a spin swapper for the longest time. And the Tower of Time too.

Next is the case on the left which I actually got for free yesterday! It came with Pain-Yatta, Grave Clobber (one of my favorites!), and Dr Krankcase! There's more figures in the case + a Golden Queen that were duplicates of Skylanders that I already owned. A few more new ones I got from the case (not pictured) were Kickoff Countdown, Star Strike (I only had her lightcore), and S3 Trigger Happy, which I actually did own already but boxed, so it's nice to have a duplicate that I can display.

And with that, I have the new case up on my wall, now in charge of the important task of holding duplicates that I will probably paint or sell, or hopefully even trade-off. And now I have a quickshot sensei too! I've actually been replaying Imaginators and Swap Force, hoping to get that sweet sweet 100%, I only need the physical level packs for Imaginators and I'll be on my way! (Oh yeah, and a dark sensei...)

My Skylanders Spending Woes

So whenever I get money, it also comes with a hard choice, to either save my money for potentially infinitely more useful items in the future, or buy more useless Skylanders merchandise. Of course, though the decision was hard (it wasn't) I have come to the conclusion that I need more useless Skylanders merchandise. So why not make a makeshift funny little merch review? Alongside this I suppose I should make a new tag...

I ordered A Spyro clock since my parents kept mentioning how I needed an alarm for the mornings. I managed to set it up properly and it works pretty well, I wish that the alarm sound was customizable or even Skylanders themed in some way, but it's a normal-sounding beeping that will gradually get faster until you wake up. The portal can glow and change colors, it turns off automatically after a few minutes. It took me a while to figure out but the alarm switch is on the back as a tiny little on/off-switch.

To everyone looking into this, there's a number on the bottom, ( Target 074100466F16973608-12/13 )

A small Skylanders keychain that I got, I think it's a flashlight of some sort since there's a little clear plastic piece with a tiny LED inside of it. But it uses these strange little circular batteries that I don't have and don't actually know what they are? But I carry it around now since the little portal can click in, similar to the 3Ds portals, though it is much much smaller than any 3Ds portal. Occasionally when I click it, sometimes it glows a faint blue for a moment, probably from the batteries left in by the previous owner.

A 3Ds case and stylus! (The case is more visible in the next photo) I like my 3Ds a lot, and I play Skylanders on it super frequently, and since I lost my previous stylus I decided that I could get a funny little Skylanders stylus to go with the case I ordered. There are multiple different 3Ds styluses actually, all with a little Skylander on top, from my memory there's also a Spyro and Terrafin stylus. The little Skylander on top bobbles around on a (pretty flimsy) spring, very cute. If only mine didn't break after two weeks... Now I have a normal stylus with Skylanders text plastered onto it and a super tiny Gill Grunt.

And here's a bit of a look at all of these things together, The Spyro clock has actually been waking me up consistently for a few days now. And again the Stylus is a bit flimsy, and the Gill Grunt snapped off... But that's okay since he fits beautifully on the tiny portal keychain at least. I also actually already owned a 3Ds case, one with spaces for game chips and accessories and everything, but this new one is also nice for simple carryability and getting bullied, 8/10 overall. Still a bit sad about Gill Grunt snapping off.

A followup birthday post???

So a package arrived late for my birthday, lo and behold, the Power Blue Splatter Splasher! Still with its box too! (Ignore the staples... it came like that) 

As for the Scarlet Ninjini, I managed to snatch that up on my own thanks to some wild circumstances. 

So our school held its annual art show in April, and a kid that I faintly knew was interested in buying some art from me, and I knew this kid had Skylanders before due to a conversation I somehow remembered from many months prior. So I instantly, instead of taking money, I asked for a Skylander, and bam, I give him my art and a few days later I come home with another Skylander in my collection!

More Skylanders for the Collection!

More Skylanders arrived today!

With the last of my christmas money I Deeecided to buy some more Skylanders! I'm a sucker for the minis so I definitely had to buy more...

Thanks to SCL for having some amazing prices! And they even gave me a free sticker! (I love stickers so that went on my PC immediately) Though I did forget to put my P.O box number on the package, and with my state's new postage regulations, they were going to send my package back! Luckily I managed to get it in time with some help since I was at school at the time.

They also gave me a cute note with a doodle, I feel so appreciated :,)

I hope I can order again in the future! I'm planning on saving up for thrillipede so if they ever do get him in-stock... 

Merry Christmas! 2023

 Merry Christmas everyone! And a happy new year!

I got Knight Light, Spotlight, Sunscraper Spire, and a light trap from my grandma! And the Hot Dog ornament has been put up again this year! My dad gets tired of seeing it but I think it's hilarious. I also plan on buying more Skylanders with my Christmas money.

See you all next year! ;)

Haul

 New Skylander haul! 6 Skylanders for $39 USD

I only got the bottom half of Gold Washbuckler so I guess that counts towards 1/2 of a Skylander..? I'm only 6 Skylanders away from finishing the full SSA collection now, getting pretty excited! With StinkBomb I just need a spin swapper to finally 100% Swap Force, I'm hoping to get Free Ranger at some point.
