New Skylanders Minis – Fire Elements


Photo-A-Day #3531

I ran over to Toys R Us tonight before picking up Eva. I heard that some new Skylanders Minis had been released yesterday but I was too tired to go and wait for the store to open on Sunday morning so I went to sleep instead. Luckily the figures were still there on Monday night. I think I got the last two. The ones that I didn’t have already were the Fire Element Skylanders Minis. These guys are Small Fry and Weeruptor. These have never been released before and I was excited to get them. There were also some Water Element ones Thumpling and Gill Runt but I already have two Gill Runts and one Thumpling from previous releases.

I have been going through each of my boxes of Skylanders – They are boxed by element – and leveling each character up to level 20 by playing the Kaos Challenge. So, each new figure gets to level twenty when I get them. I took both of these guys up to Level 20 right away because I am working on my Fire Element box of Skylanders. I have three boxes left to go, Fire, Life and Tech.

I also picked up two Wii U games, Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart 8. More on that later.

Things I Wish Existed When I was 10 Years Old – A Holiday Gift Guide

Christmas 1984 was one of my best ever. I was ten years old and Transformers had just come out. My grandmother dragged my grandfather into every mall and Bradlees up and down the eastern seaboard to buy me and my sisters some great toys. I was a very lucky kid and I loved playing with those toys. I stayed up all Christmas Eve putting on stickers and transforming every one of my new robots over and over til I could do them all in my sleep. But even though those were some of my most favorite toys ever there are still some things that we have today that I wish were around when I was a carefree 10 year old who had much more time to play with them.

So here is my Christmas Gift Guide of Things I Wish Existed when I was 10 Years Old. Continue reading Things I Wish Existed When I was 10 Years Old – A Holiday Gift Guide
