That Free Kaos sensei figure I got with my Imaginators starter pack, easily the greatest preorder bonus I’ve ever gotten!

I remember my dad got all the minis for free for Spyros adventure with one phone call, never understood how he pulled it off

@@whackyzachy1482 nah that man was just invulnerable on the phone, he got us first class upgrades on a flight once just by arguing

Some others not mentioned here: Before the release of Spyro’s Adventure there were the starter trio given out to managers who attended a GameStop Manager’s conference in 2011 (I will be putting out a more in-depth video on these figures soon) The Dark Spyro Single Pack was also available to attendees at Skylanders’ Arena Tour Event. Blue Metallic Chop Chop was also available through a social media giveaway bronze Hot Dog was also available at Gamescom 2013, and an event held by LG to promote the release of Skylanders: Battlegrounds on the LG Smart TVs

I know Activition gave away a few convention exclusives through social media posts (like Chrome Spyro and Love Bug) but I only included the promotions with a larger prize pool. Still interesting to know the others you mentioned though, thanks bro 😎

I already knew about some of these, but what I didn’t know really surprised me. Good video as always 👍

The only promotion I ever participated in was the Frito-Lay minis for Giants. My sister and I both managed to get them all. Good times! Awesome video!

I remember seeing Skylander chips all over Parkview during those times.

gutted that i was not sentient during the golden era of Skylanders so i missed all of these 💔 pearl hex looks sick as hell deffo need to find her someday!! Awesome vid as always 🫶🫶

The Ninjini Toys R Us Times Square event was definitely an official promotion. I was one of those in line to get one of the 300 free early pre-release figures on Feb 5, 2013. I worked around the corner and popped over around 4pm. Activation gave out white wristbands to the first ones to arrive to ensure everything was orderly. I showed up less than an hour before the release (4:30pm) and was surprised how short the line was. There was definitely nothing different about this figure from the eventual release. Just that you got it earlier than everyone else

Thanks for the info! There’s practically zero info about this event left online. That’s awesome to know

A midnight upload from the GOAT!?! God, I mess those old promos lmao... 😭

I remember asking my dad if I could get a 3d printed Skylander but he said “No it’s too expensive” well look how rare they are now! (Are they rare idk)

Yes

Was hoping you mentioned the Creator Contest as I won it myself too during the Light contest which blew my mind. So cool!

amazing video, i never knew those 3 trap team cores had their names chosen by fans hahaha

I COMPLETELY FORGOT WHERE THE SPYROS ADVENTURE SIDEKICKS CAME FROM, I HAVE TWO OF THEM

Good strategy to hype the games, especially for the chase variants

theres still a video up on youtube of me getting the frito lay chip bag for the giants minis, and then unboxing them. somehow i knew every single contest in this video, and i miss it soo much

Oof, knowing the contests were free would've been great, but I still think my parents back in the day wouldn't have liked me giving my address to someone regardless of if it was a chip company or something else.

Bro I really wish I knew about the call in thing I would have copped so many free figures when I was 10 and 11 and would have lived it up DX

Dang near midnight release for me but really cool history lesson

Really cool stuff that they did for the games

I have Quickdraw rattle shake

I have all the SSA sidekicks and Green Fire Bone Hot Dog. Wish I knew I didn’t have to buy the frito lay bags to get the free figures. I also have QuickDraw Rattleshake but I bought it not knowing about it’s frito lay promotion

I have question I live UAE does this delivery any country

So random lol but appreciate the upload good to see it

Hi MD

I got hot head for free I was so happy.

so it is possible to almost finish the 2first games with onely buying the game and portal

I swear I bought that stumpsmash at walmart

Hey, random question, what king of super glue do you use for your customs? Every glue I’ve used makes my Skylanders brittle

@theskylanderdude

I use loctite super glue gel. For small pieces it’s better to stick in some sort of wire or armature in each side to keep them from becoming brittle.

Yet there was no mini bouncer and mini hot head

I wish i knew about the name contest because the names they chose aside from flip wreck are kinda trash
