@glecharles Yeah, what Charey said. I'm actually a huge fan of Skylanders. I have (or had rather) all the characters excepting unreleased and/or unavailable in my area. Honestly I have not take issue with spending 10 bucks per character even with the full knowledge that all I am doing is spending 10 bucks for on disk hidden content. In the end the game is fully playable with a handful of figures and I choose if I want to buy the extra ones. I enjoy the collecting aspect, and the hunt of spending a Saturday afternoon, zipping from store to store in hopes of finding that one missing Skylander. However I understand peoples frustration with the concept as a whole. Especially since, in most cases, you don't really get anything from the on hidden disk content. I at the very least get a cool looking figure collection.
