If this is marketed properly (and if there's one thing Activision knows, it's marketing), I can see this being a huge hit this holiday season.

They mentioned at the event I was out there for that this game is getting the same marketing budget as Call of Duty.

I know when I go into a store its pretty big setup.  Though I haven't seen much in the way of TV marketing.  Though they have to put it on Hulu or NFL games on Fox for me to see it.

Maybe Qubo.

I am so disgusted with this game's premise that I'm actually commenting on the site. That being said,  my six year old self wants this with Star Wars figurines.

The Star Wars license would have made this an instant no buy for me.

Yeah, looking at it cynically it's hard not to be upset with Activision's tactics. I guess I'm not looking at it cynically enough though, as I've now bought enough of the figures to have one of every element.

Hello all,

It seems that if you purchase any game over $19.99 the Week of October 24th, 2011 at Toys R' Us you get a Free Skylanders Figure and October 29th, 2011 at Toys R' Us, at least in Tennessee, from 12-4cst they havea Come In and Play Skylanders.  Which I'm going to be doing this weekend because, I'm curious if the investment be worth it.
