I remember seeing that double trouble print from eBay, super cool to see it again. Those sandstone prints were often broken so even having that piece in that condition is awesome. Plus, with TFB closing down their physical office, who knows how many of those early prototypes remain
@oatmilkzombie Fr, mine too, it's just very awesome, the color really pops off especially with these demonic white eyes. Metallics are all really good tho
I think what amazes me the most is how many chase variants there were that I had zero knowledge of. But I am happy for you making a huge dent in your list!
Imma be honest, I’m surprised you aren’t that popular on the internet, you have a near completed skylanders toy collection and that in itself is a lifetime achievement!
Thank you for the kind words. While I technically start my RUclips channel many years ago, I haven't really put in the time and effort necessary to grow it. Now with the shop doing so well, I need to focus more on that which gives me less time for the channel.
I used to have every Skylander from Spyros adventure to trap team, minus the chase variants. I had a few of the chase variants but definitely not a lot. my mother threw away EVERY Skylander I had, she did this because when I was younger i was dumb and put them in a garbage bag for transportation to friends' houses. she thought it was garbage and it was gone. I didn't find out she threw them away until a few weeks after she had done it. I was so deviated because I spent my entire childhood collecting Skylanders with my grandmother. I'm now trying to slowly recollect all of them, I'm collecting them from when the games release. I have almost half of the Skylanders from Spyros adventure. it's going to be awhile until I get back to trap team, but I'm willing to do it.
Same thing sorta happened with one my friends. His mom gave them away without asking him since he didn’t play with them much anymore. He’s still depressed about it to this day
I've heard many various stories about Heartbreaker Buckshot and how many exist. They're all a bit different. But there is one key factor that is the same in every story: They exist! And that's why it's still on my list.
Ive been very tempted to get into the storage unit line of collecting. I know there is a lot of hit and miss overall buy the rush of what could be found lol
Wow, I am just now realizing that glow in the dark wrecking ball is worth like $300. Saw one at a pawn shop for $6 and just didn’t even think to pick it up haha. Noooo!
What you should do is go to your local GameStop ask about skylanders games and then if they say no we don’t have any ask do any other stores have any? But if they say we don’t trade them they still trade the games and they are about 15 bucks and it’s mostly Xbox one or PS4 even sometimes switch I have seen people do it I’m in Australia and Eb games over here is owned buy GameStop and they still sell skylanders for 4$ for everything pretty good.
EB Games still sells figure there? That's fantastic! Yeah, the GameStops in the rest of the world haven't sold figures in years. An occasional game pops up as you mentioned, but even that has been quite rare.
First of all, congratulations on the new figures for your collection! And second: Is the UFO hat so rare??? I still have mine from when I pre-ordered Skylanders Swap Force for the Wii as a kid (in Germany) and I never saw this Item on eBay
It is rare yes. While it's good that you kept your original card, many of them have simply been thrown away over the years. Folks didn't realize their potential value.
No, my collection is mixed. Most of the standard figures are loose while most of the rare chase variants I prefer to get in box. I don't plan to ever get a complete boxed collection.
No. We used to have this option. Unfortunately though it was a nightmare for our bookkeeper (since we had dozens of international currencies active) and we discovered we were losing a lot of money in the currency exchange process so we had to deactivate it.
It's just the material they used. There may have been some "finish" applied to it that's kinda flaking away. All the more reason to find a good case to protect it.
Anywhere from 1-3 times per week. If you scroll back through the Community feed of this RUclips channel, you can see pictures of all the past updates and get a general sense of how often updates happen. www.youtube.com/@sclmatt/community

Yeah. The material they used is definitely fragile/brittle. I need to find a good case to protect it.
Glad you got yourself a crystal elf, Matt. She’s still my favorite part of my collection after all these years. Thanks again.
I'm glad you still have her. It's a win for both of us.
I can’t believe that HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEN STARCAST is the most feasible one left!
Haha. Yep. Pretty wild.
metallic purple cynder's my favorite variant, happy for you to finally have it in your collection it's gorgeous
@oatmilkzombie Fr, mine too, it's just very awesome, the color really pops off especially with these demonic white eyes. Metallics are all really good tho
@@silver_01430 of for sure, i also love the metallic wrecking ball, wash buckler , and metallic gill grunt
I remember those swap Force gift sets being sold in Tesco (uk target) for £7:90 on clearance in 2014. God those were the days
12:36 yooo, Metallic Purple Cynder is my fav Chase Variant of them all. Such a wonderful figure. So cool to see
I think what amazes me the most is how many chase variants there were that I had zero knowledge of. But I am happy for you making a huge dent in your list!
Seeing that crystal Stealth Elf makes me so jealous because it’s one of the chase variants I really want

i read on reddit from an ex employee that only 12 heartbreaker buckshots exist and 2 of them work in game

TDP obv stands for 3d Print and 866 is probably just the figures number
ooo, good catch. I never would have made that connection for TDP, but it's certainly a strong contender.

Metallic purple eye-brawl prob my favorite chase variant.
Wow, I am just now realizing that glow in the dark wrecking ball is worth like $300.
Saw one at a pawn shop for $6 and just didn’t even think to pick it up haha. Noooo!
It was in rough shape and out of box, but $6!? Ouch
@@codeman199bro replied on the wrong account
Yeah, the SSA Glow-in-the-Dark figures are significantly more valuable than the Giants GITD figures.
Matt, congrats on an awesome acquisition of cool figures.
Thanks!
Amazing video packed with beautiful skylanders
i got the swap force box few months ago too for only 20€ complete with the ufo hat and new in box hex
Where'd you find that?
What you should do is go to your local GameStop ask about skylanders games and then if they say no we don’t have any ask do any other stores have any?

@@sclmatt nah no figures only games
Sometimes portal packs though or Star packs but those are so hard to even get
These additions look great!
I still need to get the dragons peak and darklight crypt packs😭
First of all, congratulations on the new figures for your collection!
And second: Is the UFO hat so rare??? I still have mine from when I pre-ordered Skylanders Swap Force for the Wii as a kid (in Germany) and I never saw this Item on eBay
It is rare yes. While it's good that you kept your original card, many of them have simply been thrown away over the years. Folks didn't realize their potential value.
How on earth did you find the double trouble sample? So cool Matt!
It was part of a lot on eBay.
Wish you went over what you spent on each one
I don't typically reveal the prices of private deals especially when they involve active members of the community.
Will you do a showcase of your whole collection soon?
I'm not sure how soon it will be, but yes, I am planning to make another collection video.
If you get another creation figure how much would you normally charge for?
If I don't sell them privately, they go to auction. In recent months we've seen a few of these sell. They have all been in the $500-600 range.
@@sclmatt that's fair I can probably scrap up some money if you get another or trade off I've been thinking of getting rid of my variants
Hey Matt, do you have a boxed and unboxed collection?
No, my collection is mixed. Most of the standard figures are loose while most of the rare chase variants I prefer to get in box. I don't plan to ever get a complete boxed collection.
Does your shop have a way to change currency to cad
No. We used to have this option. Unfortunately though it was a nightmare for our bookkeeper (since we had dozens of international currencies active) and we discovered we were losing a lot of money in the currency exchange process so we had to deactivate it.
Question about the double trouble. It looks weirdly furry and seems like its deteriorating. Does it feet that way in person?
It's just the material they used. There may have been some "finish" applied to it that's kinda flaking away. All the more reason to find a good case to protect it.
You have redeemed yourself
What’s you’re favorite item in you’re collection so far
E3 Spyro
Do you have the other e3 s
No I do not.
Do they count for the collection
Do you sell imagination crystals
Yes, we do. sclcollectibles.com/collections/figures?filter.p.m.filter.type=Creation+Crystal&sort_by=manual
Idk if it is worth opening a sealed lg skylanders battleground pack.
Im the most jealous human rn
the second 3d printed skylander looks like an imaginator
made by creation crystal*
How often do you update your shop now
Anywhere from 1-3 times per week. If you scroll back through the Community feed of this RUclips channel, you can see pictures of all the past updates and get a general sense of how often updates happen. www.youtube.com/@sclmatt/community
Do you have green or red bash? Idk if prototypes even exist
I do not have them. I don't think they exist, but it's certainly possible.
Is there any pictures of the double trouble and the staff?
Potentially, but I couldn't tell you where.
Under 10 mins
I'm too busy wasting money on lego to even give a crap about skylanders
