Today was a day for running errands. We had Eva’s PT this morning and had to get her knee stabilizers. She’s in-toed and we’re working with physical therapy to help correct that so that she can run without falling over her own feet. She loves physical therapy but absolutely hates that she has to wear braces at night and also has to wear boots and a bar soon. She’s worn the boots a few times to get used to them but the braces are brand new and she HATES them. She and Allison even decorated them to make them “cooler”. Bedtime was difficult tonight.
What wasn’t difficult was our trip to Toys R Us today. We went because the kids had a couple of gift cards from Christmas. We got Andrew a set of Duplo and we found three Skylanders. I found Series 2 Wrecking Ball on the rack and then talked with one of the associates. He asked what we were looking for and I told him that we were looking for Ninjini and Spyro. He said he’d take a look for us. A few minutes later out he came with both of the figures. What a great find! Eva was so excited about it that she danced around with her.
Today I picked up two new Skylanders figures which are actually repaints of existing figures, sorta. First I stopped over at Walmart and picked up my pre-ordered Ship to Store Molten Hot Dog which is an exclusive to Walmart. Molten Hot Dog is a bright yellow version of the already released Hot Dog figure that I picked up back in January.
The other figure that I picked up was released today. This is actually a repaint of a figure that hasn’t yet been released. I don’t think I’ve seen a repaint released before the actual figure before but in this case it happened. Toys R Us has exclusives that they call Legendary figures. There were four from the Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure and for Skylanders Giants there are 4 regular sized figures as Legendary and one giant as legendary plus this brand new legendary figure which is also a Lightcore figure. That one is Chill. I like the figure a lot. I just wish that her powers were better. Maybe I’ll try the other upgrade trail and that might be better.
In all it was a good day hunting for Skylanders. We’ve got 10 left to go in the Giants Series and then time to gear up for Skylanders Swap Force.
