4kids4me Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 We have the original Skylanders for Wii. If we want to purchase Swap Force for our son, do we need to purchase another starter package? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Library Momma Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Yes because it includes the actual disc with the game on it. I don't believe it can be bought separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Yes, you have to buy a new set. The old characters may play on the new game but they won't be able to do the cool things that the new characters can so kids will *need* all new characters. I'm done with skylanders. I don't want to buy new everything every year. DS will be disappointed, but I'm not buying a new game and new figures every year because the old ones suddenly become lame.

plain jane Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Yup. And not only that, but in my area it is almost impossible to find figures for the "old" Skylanders Giants. :glare: If my kids want more characters we have to buy the new version or find the characters used. Argh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Skylanders is like the most brilliant gaming marketing scheme to kids ever. (written as my kids are at a sleepover where the express purpose was to pool all the Skylanders together to play...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Skylander Clueless here.... How many kids can play at a time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My kids are getting Xbox for Christmas, and not knowing, I ordered Giants, only to realize there is a newer version. Now the Giants are going back so we can start with Swap Force - at least I figured it out before Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
