For just under $20 shipped, I picked up a new skylanders swap force ps3 starter, 26 used figures and a bag. Now to see what all the 'toys to life' was about. It looks like gauntlet for toddlers in videos.
I mostly avoided the toys to life craze. I do have some Amiibos and one Disney Infinity figure but that's the extent of it. What's odd is that the figures are actually really well made. I'd love to have a Baloo from the Disney side of things, even if I never actually purchase the games.
I really enjoyed the first Skylanders game. Of course, It's Activition so they bludgeon their franchises to death with oversaturation, but the first couple games are solid.
