Because I fucking hate Skylanders and would capitalize on kids wanting it. It propogates whats wrong with the toy industry right now. Kids want videogame interaction with their toys and hate using their imagination with things like Marvel Universe, or GIJoe so companies have to cater to kids with gameplay stuff like its magic the gathering.

Example, the Spiderman line(Before Amazing) had those inferred card games thing, Super Hero Showdown had those rocketlauncher and game stands, Star Wars none Vintage stuff has those dice and such.

Kids need to use their fucking Imagination and turn off the Xbox for a while. When I was a kid, I had Super Nintendo, and that did not stop me from turning my GIJoes into Megaman characters and playing with them outside in my Treefort with my Best Friend from around the Block!

thats my rant and I'm sticking to it

I agree, kids need to use their imagination. We were so poor growing up and kept moving around third world countries toy pricing was high and thus reserved for the rich. My dad was a teacher/missionary type. So the only toys or comics i had are the ones i found on the street or in lost and found bins. But i used my imagination to make the most of them. Its this imagination and resourcefulness that that made me who i am today and pays me well every month. I think any parent that lets their kids brains rot in front of a screen are not doing them any favors.

But skylanders is a very heavily scalped brand already mostly by soccer mom and chinese men.
