    Free Skylanders Sidekick figure with $30 Skylanders purchase at Gamestop.

    Same four figures as last falls Frito-Lays mail in promotion but a good deal if you missed them. They work in both Skylanders Adventure and Skylanders Giants games.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

    My son was disappointed to learn that they don't really do much. But I told him what to expect from a free chip offer?

      Yeah, they are kinda like having a pet or Mini-Me for your Skylanders. They just follow them around and have few cute animations and sayings. I think Trigger Snappy is especially cute. In the original Skylanders game you can do extra funny little tricks with them. You can shoot them with your attacks and they do stuff like slipping on water, shocked by lightning or set on fire. Can't do that in Giants because you can't shoot the in game characters anymore. I liked that in the first game you could annoy Flynn by shooting him. "Ouch!!"

        My son hasn't bought "Giants" yet. He just got a Playstation, so I think he's trying to decide if he wants to start over there, or just buy the expansion pack for Wii, minus the portal, etc.

          I recommend upgrading to the Playstation version. Get the Walmart exclusive PS3 Giants Starter Pack with the exclusive glow in the dark Cynder and Portal of Power. The starter set is also a better value in my opinion because you get 3 Skylanders instead of one.

            The figures are cross-platform, right? So the characters he's using on Wii will work on Playstation, or doe the original Skylanders not work on Giants at all?

              Yep, the figures work on all the systems. So, the figures he leveled on the Wii will work just fine on the PS3. All the original Skylanders work in Giants and can be even leved up to the new level cap of 15. The Skylanders Giants series 2 versions of the original characters work in Skylanders Adventures. Even the Lightcore ones. But the new giants and the new characters don't work on the original game. So, for example, updates of characters from the first game, like Lightcore Prism Break, works in the original Skylanders game but new characters, like Pop Fizz and Tree Rex, don't

                Ah, thanks! He'll probably want to get a whole new PS3 Portal then.

                  Another nice thing about the new PS3 portal is it's wired. The first PS3 portal (and think the Wii version too) was wireless and ate batteries like crazy.

                    ^Yeah, the original Wii portal is wireless, and yes, it's a battery muncher! But so are the controllers...

                      You can cross over from the first edition Spyro's Adventure to Giants but nor the other way around. They are Cute to have, and for 2 bucks with Frito Lay you couldn't go wrong. The bad part is trynig to track some of these suckers down, it's like a regular scavenger hunt lol

                      If anyone finds an EYE BRAWL and THUMP BACK let a brotha know... I would hate to pay e bay prices for these guys.

                        Don't pay ebay prices on these. Eye Brawl and Thumpback just started showing up at stores last week. They are not short packed and should be much easier to find in a couple of weeks.
