Skylanders Spyro's Adventure Triple Character Pack (Drobot, Flameslinger, Stump Smash)

I’m furious!!! I paid for a NEW PRODUCTS, waited over a week for them to get here, & they arrive with half the original packaging missing and covered in packing tape with tears, dents, and tape all over them!! These were supposed to be NEW, but they clearly are not. Both boxes were obviously torn apart and then messily taped back together!! Warnado’s box is missing the back all together. These were supposed to be Christmas gifts for my little brother. He’s 10 years old & this is the only thing he asked me to get him for Christmas... I cannot even begin to stress how angry I am right now.

As with all of the Skylanders, these characters are beautifully created. The design of the characters as well as the various textures and colors on the same character make them little works of art.As for the game play, we really enjoy them. We have found buying the Spyro's characters gives us double bang for our buck since they all work on the Spyro and Giants game. Originally, my son really wanted Stup Smash and I found this pack for nearly the same price as the single character, so to build his Skylanders collection, I got this triple pack instead.I have to say that after playing with all three characters, Drobot has become one of our favorite characters to play. The Spyro version of the character seems bigger and more majestic looking than the Giant's version. And once you start powering up Drobot, he's practically unstoppable. Not to mention, he is one of the few characters who can fly after you've powered him up.Flameslinger and Stump Smash are two classic characters and we enjoy playing with them as well. You could buy the individual characters, but buying the triple pack is more affordable and builds your collection more quickly. And these are three great classic Skylanders that everyone should own.

Drobot, Flameslinger & Stump Smash:Fair Character pack. Drobot and "Stumpy" are good early on. They are not so useful on the highest levels, because their secondary attack abilities are lacking. The action gets hot and heavy on the higher levels. Stumpy only regurgitates acorns. Any enemy running into it loses hit points but is not destroyed. In cases where it's hot and heavy you really need a dynamic secondary weapon.In the beginning it seems like Flameslinger is going to be useless with his single arrow. With his speed and secondary ability to run in a circle around the enemies, he's able to torch anything inside that circle. Keeps him out of danger because he's running. He also has a multi-arrow attack from distance. He can stand off from danger and rain fire arrows down on the enemy.Drobot has speed with his afterburners. He also can shoot out up to three discs in a triangle pattern Not very useful when you need accuracy in later rounds in addition to volume hits.

So very disappointed! I bought THREE 3-packs from Activision, all listed as "New" and NONE of them were in their original sealed packaging. These ones at least look new, but in the other two packs the characters were already scuffed and stained with paint missing. Will be testing and returned if not working!

These characters were great for the three players in our household:My son loves Stump Smash, since "smash" pretty much sums up his approach to playing Skylanders. He also likes barfing acorns at enemies.My daughter likes Drobot a lot because he can fly. Also, fully upgraded Drobot allows for strafing attacks, which is unique to my (fairly limited) Skylanders experience.Personally I prefer Flameslinger for his sniping ability, and his flame run is a nice defensive ability.Over all a good combination of play types to expand your Skylanders collection.
