ACTIVISIONSkylanders Giants: Lightcore Shroomboom Character

We bought the Skylanders Giants game so that I, an adult non-gamer would have something to play with my hubby (gamer) and eight year old (on and off gamer). Needless to say, I am hooked. It is great fun and I, being just a tad more than a little OCD have decided I must have every little guy out there. Luckily I am a patient OCD and haven't had to pay more than retail for any character...We like to see all of the different "skills" and voices they have.

My son loved it and it was a really good deal. I think the light could be a little brighter though. The Eye Brawl figure is really bright and cool.

It's the first time I've ever written a negative review on Amazon but here goes. i received an a defective sky landers figure. And of course I don't I didn't save the box and the mailing receipts nor do I have the time to devote to backtracking through the web to get it. The good news is it didn't set me back far so ill take the loss.

Came on time. Package came opened

Part of the fun of the game is collecting all the Skylanders. My son enjoys all of them so far, including this one. Something that's NOT fun is overpaying for the figures. Just wait it out and eventually they'll all be at the suggested retail price. I picked this one up a few days ago from here and it was even less than what the Lightcores usually go for. I haven't overpaid on a single Skylander (original one and Giants) to date and don't plan on. What people advertise to be "rare" is eventually going to be as common as a pack of toilet paper. The truly rare ones will remain rare, such as the crystal ones, unpainted, etc., but those are for the hard-core collectors.Shroomboom was one of the first Skylanders out and now he has a makeover with the new pose and of course the lights. Not the most robust character in the game, he has his moments. If you're not interested in collecting all of them, you can easily pass this one by; but for completionists, this won't disappoint.
