As much as I enjoy the actual game, this is what I hate about Skylanders.  I already own 3 different Spyro Figurines and 3 different Stealth Elfs.  I'd be much more interested in this if they took out ONE of those duplicates and added another unique figurine.
 
Lord knows if my wife heard about this, we'd be rushing to Gamestop asking to switch our preorder from the standard edition to this.

You should have at least four Spyro figures by now.  You're doing it wrong. :D

Actually, you're right.  Three from Spyro's adventure (Regular, Dark, Legendary), and one from Giants (Regular).
 
That's depressing.

My wife found out from an email Gamestop sent out this week, so now i'm on the lamb for the Dark Edition.


Happy wife, happy life, I guess.

LOL, no kidding.  She was completely miserable when she found out Gamestop was selling a limited version Polar Whirlwind and we missed out on it. 


I really like playing the game more than anything.  While she likes it too, what she REALLY loves is completing her collection.

Yeah, we have Jade Flashwing.  My wife's favorite color is green  ;D .


No worries, I wasn't looking to find one.  Just commenting how coveted these things get!
