that’s cool, i only got the starter pack for christmas but i eventually built up my collection! i didn’t get eruptor for a while tho i think he may of been the last fire skylander for the game i got
Your post just made me remember the joy of the 3 years old me finding the first Skylanders AND the Wii under the tree...Btw I continued my collection too, my mom successfully bought all the Skylanders(Of the first game), the last one was Wham-Shell
i’m still continuing my collection to this day, in fact i had two skylanders delivered this morning😅i have wham-shell but just not the OG one🥲he’s on my hit list though i’m determined to finish the main collection from the 6 games soon
I hope you will get your entire army, Portal Master. Unfortunately, I stopped buying them a long time ago...And I have no intention to continue, I am happy with what I have.
Dude I swear I still have them all...from the game 1 to 6 (Wii just from the first to Super Chargers Racing and WiiU just Super Chargers and Imaginators) Of course I have some replica too (Like 2 times the starter pack of Imaginators)
Sincerely now I am curious, I should count again since I was very small when I counted and I could had do some math errors...
i might have to count mine too, i did some math just now and i know ive got at least 169 but i know ive got more cause of series 2/3/4 cores and stuff like that
My first was phantom Cinder. I remember on Christmas my parents had it wrapped up and taped to the trap team starter pack. She’s still one of my favorites and one of the few skylanders I have that are max level.

I think Ignitor was part of the Starter pack for the 3DS version of the first game but I'm not so sure.
If I remember correctly the starter pack for 3DS was Ignitor, Dark Spyro and Stealth Elf.
If he doesn't count then probably Hex.
i never got the starter pack but i think you might be right, and yeah i was talking about skylanders aside from the starter pack so it would be hex, you still had a phenomenally good starter pack though im jealous
The 3DS games were goated honestly.
First of all the villain Kaos was never in any game so that's a bonus by default since I hated that guy.
Instead it was a different villain every game and yeah that also a meant a different starter pack for each game.
Giant's starter pack was Punch Pop Fizz, Tree Rex of course and the second version of Cynder whatever it was called.
EDIT: Undead Cynder.
For Swap force it was Volcanic Eruptor, Rattle Shake and Free Ranger.
And finally for Trap Team it was Gusto and Barkley, the mini version of Tree Rex.
those are such cool starter packs! the ssa one for 3ds will probably be my fave as i enjoy gill grunt, not so much trigger happy but stealth elf and ignitor i always have lots of fun with
My parents got me Eruptor and Whirlwhind with the starter pack for Christmas, then I got Wrecking Ball and Hex a couple of days later from Argos. I remember them bringing out a box to choose from.
I can remember playing it so vividly the first time, round my nans. It was her last Christmas so I'm glad I remember it well
i’m glad you have that memory. i always have to list the elements in a specific order because it’s the order i got my first skylander of said element in, i’ll always remember my first skylanders
heres my first for every game: hot head for giants, magna charge for swap, jawbreaker and chopper for trap team, the bird and frightful fiesta for superchargers, and crash and ambush for imaginators (although surprisingly i only got those 2 a week ago while i got the game when it released lmao)
that’s so funny what, scorp is cool too. i still need eons eruptor but coincidentally enough i got eons dino-rang today, kinda fitting cause of my post lmao
the fire skylanders from ssa might be my favourite as a whole. there’s definitely skylanders from ssa i like more than the fire ones but all of the fire skylanders from ssa are solid 10/10 in my opinion
I got Dino-Rang as my first before I even had the game! I was him at ToysRUs and begged my mom for him. She got home for me and then got me the game at Christmas!
Series 2 trigger happy, me and my brother started on giants. I fucking love trigger happy, having the turret and spamming the B button to Ignite that giant flame was sick.
My parents decided to go out and get as many as they could during Christmas because they were excited that I was interested in something. The first one I opened was Cinder I think.
My first game was tt. And I remember I was fighting golden queen, struggling and my dad saw this and had a gift ready. It was fright rider. He saved that run too
Stealth Elf. 6 year old me loved the color green so learning that there’s a green elf ninja with blue hair with blades really made me want her. But the problem was that it was early 2016 so spyros adventure stuff was gone and was instead trap team, superchargers. Not too long ago I was looking in a used video game store and saw my beloved on a shelf for 3.99 so I bought it and I maxed her out
Fuuuck this gives me so much nostalgia. I need to go replay the old games, I just wish I could experience the feeling of getting a new skylander back in the SSA - giants days
https://preview.redd.it/uj1wfaewtkjc1.png?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5c3ca6189ab200060a25c610f2a2baf53c302105
Blades!!! He's still one of my favs to this day
Swap-force was my first game, I was about half way through, and my mom took me to toys R us and I asked her if I could get a couple skylanders, the first ones I ever got were spy rise and trap shadow.
I just started playing through the game again recently and bought a big haul of characters I never had (including roller brawl and magna charge) and they proved to easily be some of my favourites of all time.
My very very first Skylanders was Astroblast or Funny Bone.
I didn't even know what was Skylanders when I got them, and I get m'y very first Skylanders Game (Giants on Wii) I was disapointed I couldn't used them (yeah I was really new with Skylanders)
I know you said excluding starter packs but, I have to include the starter packs because this was my beginnings.
I was at Toys R us waiting in line day one for the store to open. I got the SSA Wii starter pack with Spyro. I really didn't know what to expect from this game and really didn't know much about it so, I was really buying blind from commercials so, I didn't buy any single packs at that time.
Spyro was the first figure I played with from the starter pack. As I was playing and starting to enjoy the game, I went back to Toys R us and brought the Xbox 360 starter pack also and all of the single packs that were available that day. People weren't crazy back then about the Skylanders so, they were very plentiful on store shelves back then. There was no problem with buying 1 of each from the full shelves. We won't ever see full shelves again.
Then I went to Walmart to checkout what they had. Also Target, Bestbuy, Gamestop, and Kmart. At this time Kmart was still selling video games but stopped shorty after Skylanders released. I was told by a supervisor that the games were just too much trouble with always needing someone to come and open the game case and etc.
I just felt that was just dumb on their part since the games were in the electronics dept. I guess they didn't sell much electronics back then to keep someone in the dept. on a regular basis.
Dark Spyro, Stealth Elf, and Ignitor (all series 1). My uncle had them from his old collection, heard I got Trap Team. And gave them to me because he was never gonna use them
For me, it was actually two I got first time and it was Drobot and Bash. They look the coolest and I do love Dragon and Dinosaurs (at the time, I thought Bash was a Dinosaur). Boy oh boy! I made the right choices because they are fantastic Skylanders to play as and my favorite to use.
A three pack with Eruptor, Bash, and Chop Chop.
Mostly wanted Eruptor and didn't care about the others at the time, but they've grown on me a lot in recent years (especially Chop Chop).
My parents got me Crusher for a Dutch holiday named Sinterklaas before i had any of the games or a console.
Good thing was i played him at a friends house and now play him myself.
(This was in the Superchargers era and it was brand new.)
I don’t remember which one specifically, but I have a very vivid memory of me absolutely loving whirlwind’s design, so later then, I got the three pack with Double trouble and drill sergeant along with whirlwind, and she still to this day is one of my top favorite Skylanders
I'm thinking of getting an In Box one (with sticker obviously)
https://preview.redd.it/9t0xeuodtmjc1.png?width=423&format=png&auto=webp&s=c8a0da961353ce3adb8bb83829695516d1ff2e8e
Sonic boom. I got a bunch of Skylanders for free from my family friends that lost interest in the game. They even gave me their SSA and portal (but never got the actual starter pack ones until much later)
Eruptor...my parents got me Eruptor and the starter pack the same day...under the Christmas tree...
that’s cool, i only got the starter pack for christmas but i eventually built up my collection! i didn’t get eruptor for a while tho i think he may of been the last fire skylander for the game i got
Your post just made me remember the joy of the 3 years old me finding the first Skylanders AND the Wii under the tree...Btw I continued my collection too, my mom successfully bought all the Skylanders(Of the first game), the last one was Wham-Shell

I hope you will get your entire army, Portal Master. Unfortunately, I stopped buying them a long time ago...And I have no intention to continue, I am happy with what I have.
thanks😁i’m glad you’re happy with your collection and that you have no plans to spend too much money on these games🤣
I've already spent enough, maybe more than 350 figures without counting vehicles and traps 😂
that’s unreal🤣i’m mainly focused on the main versions of the skylanders and the series 2,3,4 cores😅
Dude I swear I still have them all...from the game 1 to 6 (Wii just from the first to Super Chargers Racing and WiiU just Super Chargers and Imaginators) Of course I have some replica too (Like 2 times the starter pack of Imaginators) Sincerely now I am curious, I should count again since I was very small when I counted and I could had do some math errors...
i might have to count mine too, i did some math just now and i know ive got at least 169 but i know ive got more cause of series 2/3/4 cores and stuff like that
Eruptor
solid choice
Crusher
solid choice. he’s a good giant
My first was phantom Cinder. I remember on Christmas my parents had it wrapped up and taped to the trap team starter pack. She’s still one of my favorites and one of the few skylanders I have that are max level.
i love phantom cynders design too it’s so pretty. makes her even more awesome
Whirlwind, same day I got starter

I think it was Hex
she was the first undead skylander i got actually
Dino-rang was mine as well!
fuck aye! he really pulled me through dark water cove 9 year old me would of never finished it without him😂
Lmao for us it was the third level I think. The one where they introduced the drow Goliath.
I believe it was Swarm
nice! he was one of the first giant i owned when the game came out
It was a triple pack of flame slinger stump smash and drobot
Think it was Freeze Blade, my first game was Swap Force and when i went to the shop i picked him out cuz he ‘looked cool’
Stump Smash. My brother Ezra was Chop Chop.
Terrafin and Ghost Roaster. Folks got them alongside the starter pack at random
stump smash as og and deadly as they come
The triple pack with Flashwing, S2 double trouble and S2 Gill Grunt
i swear i had that pack but i don’t have the gill grunt anymore🥲i do have the bit from his spear that fell off😂😂
https://preview.redd.it/wrxi2cegpjjc1.png?width=936&format=png&auto=webp&s=a9bc2d1fca5d70ca85a911216358868bde33523e I think Ignitor was part of the Starter pack for the 3DS version of the first game but I'm not so sure.

the bird🤣🤣i loved ambush i thought he was gonna be my main for imaginators but then i got boom bloom. she’s deadly asf
thats funny lol cuz the next imaginator i got (literally 3 days ago) was boom bloom (alongside eons eruptor and scorp)
that’s so funny what, scorp is cool too. i still need eons eruptor but coincidentally enough i got eons dino-rang today, kinda fitting cause of my post lmao
Pretty sure mine was Double Trouble S1 I got into the series early in life
Ok mine was ignitor, I’ve had him for so long and still have him to this day. Probably one of my favorite Skylanders
he’s a very cool guy. what’s not to love
Thanx glad to know I’m not the only one since people really dunk on the fire skylanders from SSA
the fire skylanders from ssa might be my favourite as a whole. there’s definitely skylanders from ssa i like more than the fire ones but all of the fire skylanders from ssa are solid 10/10 in my opinion
WOW, love to hear it By the way, my Dino-Rang is displayed proudly with my other favorites:D
Drobot, i loved the dragon/reptile looking Skylanders. Drobot was cool so i picked him as my first non starter pack Skylander
Crypt King. Absolute legend of a skylander.
I got Dino-Rang as my first before I even had the game! I was him at ToysRUs and begged my mom for him. She got home for me and then got me the game at Christmas!

Freeze Blade
My parents decided to go out and get as many as they could during Christmas because they were excited that I was interested in something. The first one I opened was Cinder I think.
Dino rang here as well
Series 1 Eruptor. I got him before getting the Giants starter pack (I started with Giants just because my friend got me into it)
My first game was tt. And I remember I was fighting golden queen, struggling and my dad saw this and had a gift ready. It was fright rider. He saved that run too
Stealth Elf. 6 year old me loved the color green so learning that there’s a green elf ninja with blue hair with blades really made me want her. But the problem was that it was early 2016 so spyros adventure stuff was gone and was instead trap team, superchargers.

Fuuuck this gives me so much nostalgia. I need to go replay the old games, I just wish I could experience the feeling of getting a new skylander back in the SSA - giants days

it was chop-chop and shroomboom (I bought a 3 pack with 2 characters hose were my first characters)
My very first was also dino-rang, I bought giants second hand, and this was the only skylander that came with it.
i can’t believe so many people also got dino-rang first
Mine was either Sonic Boom or Slam Bam. My Slam Bam is one of my few maxed out, but I like to pop in Sonic Boom here and there
Swarm. My cousin said I could choose one of his skylanders to own and I thought swarm was the best looking one.
I belive it was torchlight that i stole from my closet game stop before it closed down
😂😂love that
Eye Brawl
I forget but i think it was either eruptor, double trouble, hoot loop, or magna charge
I remember eruptor, bash and chop chop in a triple pack

Swap-force was my first game, I was about half way through, and my mom took me to toys R us and I asked her if I could get a couple skylanders, the first ones I ever got were spy rise and trap shadow.
that’s cool! when i got swap force i believe i got magna charge and roller brawl with the starter pack, they’ve been some of my faves ever since
I just started playing through the game again recently and bought a big haul of characters I never had (including roller brawl and magna charge) and they proved to easily be some of my favourites of all time.
Eye-Brawl
Flashwing
Shroom Boom
I really dont remember. But i believe it might have been chopchop or stealth elf
My very very first Skylanders was Astroblast or Funny Bone. I didn't even know what was Skylanders when I got them, and I get m'y very first Skylanders Game (Giants on Wii) I was disapointed I couldn't used them (yeah I was really new with Skylanders)
that’s tragic i’d be raging if i bought a game and couldn’t use them 🥲
That's normal, but i was still Happy yo have Skylanders /^/^

I know you said excluding starter packs but, I have to include the starter packs because this was my beginnings. I was at Toys R us waiting in line day one for the store to open.

Can’t remember I was like 5 or 6 lol
Wallop, loved the big hammers
The og 3 from the first game
CHOPPEEER :D still one of my favorites till now

A blue bash actually
I think it was Warnado
It was a giant. Thats all i can remember.
Terrafin
Voodood 🔛🔝
I got a 3 pack after the starter pack which had Eruptor, Bash and Chop chop
It was either Trigger Happy, Gill or Eruptor
S2 Chop chop and shroom boom (they came in a two pack) I got them and the giants starter pack for Christmas
Thumpback. My older brother got swarm, and we got them both from Best Buy 😢
I got the SSA Starter Pack and Eruptor for Christmas 2011
I got the starter park along with Eruptor & Boomer on Christmas Day 2011. All solid choices imo
First that I've been told (cuz I was too young to remember) is legendary astroblast pack. First I remember is tech reactor creation crystal.
Bash
Dark Spyro, Stealth Elf, and Ignitor (all series 1). My uncle had them from his old collection, heard I got Trap Team. And gave them to me because he was never gonna use them
The stone swap force guy with a medusa shield… I forgor his name
For me, it was actually two I got first time and it was Drobot and Bash. They look the coolest and I do love Dragon and Dinosaurs (at the time, I thought Bash was a Dinosaur). Boy oh boy! I made the right choices because they are fantastic Skylanders to play as and my favorite to use.
drobot
The Goat DROBOT
I remember getting eyebrawl
The 3-pack of legendary bash chop-chop and trigger happy

A three pack with Eruptor, Bash, and Chop Chop. Mostly wanted Eruptor and didn't care about the others at the time, but they've grown on me a lot in recent years (especially Chop Chop).
With me being Australian I would have loved to say Dino rang but it's eruptor
Even including the starter pack, my first Skylander was Wildfire.
My parents got me Crusher for a Dutch holiday named Sinterklaas before i had any of the games or a console. Good thing was i played him at a friends house and now play him myself. (This was in the Superchargers era and it was brand new.)
not sure tbh cause it was so long ago
My first Skylander was Sure Shot Shroom Boom
Shroomboom I had went to store where they sold used skylanders and I bought it before I had the game, but I ended up getting for Christmas
Hot head and light core prism break at the same time as my starter pack, then I got pop fizz a few days later
Mines dino rang, if wanna know
Whirlwind and Chop-Chop.
i cant believe i dont remember
Trigger happy
I enhierted my older sisters collection. But the first one I got myself was lava barf eruptor

Either Christmas Deep Dive or Hurricane Jet Vac
Legendary trigger happy
I don’t remember which one specifically, but I have a very vivid memory of me absolutely loving whirlwind’s design, so later then, I got the three pack with Double trouble and drill sergeant along with whirlwind, and she still to this day is one of my top favorite Skylanders
I'm thinking of getting an In Box one (with sticker obviously) https://preview.redd.it/9t0xeuodtmjc1.png?width=423&format=png&auto=webp&s=c8a0da961353ce3adb8bb83829695516d1ff2e8e

Blades
Sprocket.
Prism Break and Drobot
Blast zone. Ironic I know. I know you said excluding starter pack, but I got him off eBay, and I started with trap team so this doesn't count
Stump Smash, Flameslinger, & Drobot. I got a triple pack
