This is going to be amazing.

The only thing missing is that damn Sam's club exclusive, but I ordered it online so it shall soon be here. I even made sure to get the xbox version at best buy so i could have the pvp arena doohickey.

I feel sorry for you. : (

You did this to yourself. You monster.

@shakra: i have a bridge for sale.

Jesus. Wish I could blow money like that.

Christ... all that money...

Well, whatever. If I had the money to blow on this stuff I would waste it on equally dumb stuff.

Good lord! That's amazing! Are you gonna scan them through the boxes or open 'em up? How crazy 'spensive was all that?

Yo I got a Chop Chop... and an eighth.

I'm enjoying it so it's okay. I'll enjoy it more when drill sergeant shows up that elusive bastard.

I feel you man. I ended up picking up the game and a Skylander of each element. Jeff should have been a salesman!

You done fucked up.

I make games so this is all a glorious write off.

Oh.... my.... god....

@shakra: Shame on you shame on you!!!!! >:3

the cat is about as disappointed as us

It's ok, my wife bought me a $150 computer chair because Skyrim is coming.

Don't blame Jeff for your idiocy. Idiot.

cat is facepalming behind the box

So amazing yet so dumb.

Games are too hard for my wife, this is one we can play together :)

How many Skylanders are in there!?

@Slaker117: I'm sorry is your sister ugly? We actually built a version that really works, rather than the joke app that is up now. I've been hesitant to release it after seeing people I know get upset when it tells them they are ugly. It's kinda awesome though.

@MikeGosot I think there are only like 16 out right now. I haven't actually counted them all yet.

@MikeGosot: I doubt I'll buy them all, idk how long they are going to wait to release them. My partner's child's birthday is in a couple of weeks. I'm going to play through and finish the game with my wife and give the game and toys to him. I couldn't resist opening them and playing with them though, they are pretty awesome.

@shakra: That's an awesome collection!

I'm planning on going to the Modern Warfare 3 midnight launch to buy that amount of Skylanders myself.....

You did this to yourself.

How much did this cost you?

You're my hero.

I just puked in my mouth a little

You can't blame Jeff because you're both irresponsible man-children.

I wonder how many sales are to actual children. All the hype from this game online has come from adults and teenagers.

Holy shite! Have fun!

I congratulate you

My son couldn't be less interested in this stuff, which is annoying because I need him as an excuse!

Jesus, friend. That's a lot of Skylander.

@jozzy: I'm picturing your son wanting to play Halo but you saying no and buying him Skylanders instead.

you make me sad

Ask for a gift receipt, that way they don't think you are buying it for yourself.

He thankfully doesn't even know that Halo is a game at 6 years old (he knows the toys though). He actually wants a 3DS with the zelda game, so you can't say he has no taste. I just find the whole skylanders thing very interesting. Kids are not so easily wow-ed by technology these days, i bought a Kinect and they thought the whole "you are a controller" thing was totally normal and were not amazed in the least. Same with the skylander figures and the portal...

Not as an excuse for the store clerk, but for my wife!

@jozzy: Sounds like your kid knows what's up. Not into Skylanders, not into Kinect, wants to play Ocarina of Time for 3DS. He has a bright future.

How does this work on the 3DS? If it was 15 years younger, this game would be the shit! However I'm almost 30 so I can see it for the cheap marketing scheme that it is. Still like the idea though. *sigh*( I'm a nerd.

@Valames: Only $150? I bought a $400 chair and I don't even play PC games. I figure if I'm going to sit at a desk for between 2 and 12 hours a day it'd better be comfortable. I spent about 3 hours in the store comparing it with a $150 chair and I feel I made the right choice.

Kill yourself.

Are we going to have to form some kind of support group for these Skylander people?
