That said, whatever the Skylanders are, they seem to be very popular. (My rudimentary understanding of them: It’s part of a game which you can only play if you buy more pieces. Genius for the creators, not so much for the parents doing the purchasing.) Anyway, apparently one of the hot items to get this holiday season is the Skylanders Swap Force Starter Set, and the current cheapest offering at Amazon is still around $65. [Edited to add: There’s now various platform-ed (is that a word?) Swap Force sets in the Amazon Lightning Deals, too, if you hurry!]
But over at Target, they’ve got it for $37. (Direct linking is screwed up for me with Target right now. Trust me, search on skylanders swap and you’ll find it.) See?
If you need one, go get it. I don’t think we’ll see ’em any cheaper.
SCORE!! Thanks, Mir. I don’t understand it either, but apparently it’s all the rage with 6-10YO boys.
It’s also a Lightning deal right now on Amazon for the same price.
I’m so glad my kids didn’t jump on this bandwagon. Wish I could say the same about Beyblades (????)
Yep, Lightning Deal on all platforms, though I think it’ll go fast.
Thanks, Mir! I may have just won the present of the day award!! (I don’t understand it either!)
Target appears to be sold out now but scored it on Amazon. You’re so pretty Mir!
Target definitely out, but Amazon still has it. Had to refresh a couple of times but finally got it…yay!
THANK YOU so much!!! I just ordered one for my kids for Christmas. And told my sister and a friend at work and they ordered theirs too. You just made my day!
Thanks for the commenters to let me know where it’s out, I was able to get it from Amazon just now before it was gone. Whew. That is something my son has wanted for two years but was aware we’d not pay that price for any gift, so I’m excited to get it for him for that price! YEA Pretty Mir! Thank you for sharing this, I’ve been watching the Lightening Deals but hadn’t gotten there yet this morning. I was just telling my husband how much I love your help for holiday shopping, and not having to leave the house! 😀
Yeeow! Got one! I’m doing the happy dance! Target is tapped but I snagged one through the lightning deal. You are especially pretty today, Mir!
My son (and his cronies) are OBSESSED with this game. I can actually talk about it too…that makes me the COOL MOM 🙂 Thanks for the info!
Walmart in-store, if you dare venture in, is honoring that price all day too. Went this morning on my way into work, and just a few other mom’s in professional doing the same.
Patricia, what information did you supply to get Walmart to honor it?
For Walmart, it scanned as such at the register. Both Best Buy and ToysRUs will take it from a web print out or the screen on your smart phone. TRU has on their policy that they will now honor website pricing, not just print ad.
I work in a business park across from the mall, so I can hit weird hours and have become waaaayyy too proficient in how to handle the brick and mortar retailers.
I am crying right now. Had it in my cart, had a (very) minor emergency that pulled me away. And now it’s gone. 🙁
Somebody on my FB feed just posted that they have this at this price at Walmart (in-store). No need for special info, that’s just the price. Today only maybe?
Rats again, I need this for a kid for christmas so keep your eyes peeled pretty lady for the next round on this deal, which i hope comes,,,,,,
