Well...$20 and under and I was a total yes to buy the set. $25 puts it just over the reasonable edge and so its a case by case for me. I have Sypro and Chop Chop on order (Gotta love the Nov 1 date-spaces out the financial pain). I want to see and feel them in hand...Then make a judgment call on the remaining. As it stands, Stealth Elf (Wife's fav) and Terrafin are the remaining that I am interested in. Whirlwind, Eruptor Trigger Happy and Gil Grunt...That is $100 for characters that I have MULTIPLE-Multiple times.
If they had been any Skylanders other than the "faithful" 8, the yes would be far easier. Perhaps this is the First Round and next year they can put out Eon's Elite: The Abandoned. Or perhaps: Eon's Elite: THE GHOST ROASTER EIGHT- (Eight New Ghost Roaster Poses released over the course of a year)
