Usually these road trips are all about finding more Skylanders to sell in the shop and to help YOU complete your collection. But once in a great while I'm able to find something for myself as well. This one was a complete surprise though...

Soon you are gonna find a employee exclusive prism break or something!
You've traveled more for Skylanders than I have traveled in my life lol.
LOL! I never thought about it like that. I didn't travel much when I was younger though. This has been a development in the past 5-10 years.
@@sclmattI gotta say, I'm glad I'm not the only one that still loves Skylanders *and likes collecting them too*
Although we still don't know if Skylanders will ever return, I would love to share to you my idea of bringing it back, *in a spin-off game that is*
This is my idea of a Skylanders spin-off game that will revive the franchise!
I call it: *Skylanders Yin-Yang*
It is a spin-off game that *solely* focuses on the dark and light elements. Why? Well, it's pretty obvious, ever since the two elements were introduced in Trap Team, then to Superchargers and Imaginators, they overall had the *LEAST* amount of Skylanders! In other words, the Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Undead, Life, Magic, and Tech elements had like 20+ Skylanders (or 30+ if you count the variants and reposes), while Dark and Light had 5. So, not only will my spin-off revive the Skylanders franchise, but I also want to give the Dark and Light elements more love and attention!
The roster will be 32 (16 each for the elements) (similar to the SSA roster, but also include the "gimmick"landers)
They will consist of:
8 *core* Skylanders
One Giant
Two Swap Force Skylanders (the new Swapabilities will be "Stomp" and "Gravitate")
One Trap Master
One Supercharger (Sky vehicle = Light, Sea Vehicle = Dark)
Two Minis
One Sensei (Light Bazooker and Dark Quickshot)
Here's the storyline: There was once a villainous troll scientist who goes by the name: Professor Dizastor! He had many crimes he once committed, but he only had one goal: ridding all the flowers in Skylands! 'Cause he has a *strong hatred* for flowers!! However, as that scheme failed, he was then put on house arrest (since CloudCracker Prison was destroyed at the time). Later on, throughout his house arrest, he then developed and created a monstrosity Skylands is about to encounter: *The Root Reaper* the Root Reaper has one sole purpose, to swallow and absorb all life essences of all flowers in Skylands! You: Portal Master must stop the Root Reaper ASAP, before all of Skylands loses its beauty and have the flowers die out!
Also, I'm bringing back PVP battle mode, Sky Goals, Sky Gems, Heroic Challenges, Raceway (but for Sea and Sky Vehicles, since Land is only for Undead, Earth, Fire, and Tech), basically everything from the past six installments, but put it in a dark and light standpoint. (Of course lastly, Knight Light, Spotlight, Blackout, Knight Mare, Starcast, Nightfall, Aurora, Astroblast, Hood Sickle, Blaster Tron, Sun Runner, Sea Shadow, and the light and dark creation crystals will be workable and playable in the game)
@@sclmattwhich state did y up I find the skylanders toy?
@@sclmattWhat state are you from
Utah.
This is insane!! Unfortunately we don't have any of these stores in germany, you could only hope to see some leftover skylanders in a random game stop or saturn but man... you're one lucky guy!
Quite possibly my best find in the wild ever.
That Shield Striker is a thing of beauty…mine will likely forever be in its box.
I'd prefer it in box, but I'll take what I can get for now.
6:31 im very impressed with the level of care this exchange store took to their skylanders with that poster showing what figures can be used in what game etc
Same. There was definitely some thought put into the display.
Their was a dollor store that sold the Patina Shield Striker to get rid of old stock and i bought just one but i didnt know it was rare. So i am so happy
Great find.
I saw a chase variant right here. 4:33
Those are actually nice finds you got during your journey especially that Shield Striker variant you found.
Though I wanted to ask: have you been to these three stores in question before PrePlayed, Foster's Gaming & Collectibles, and Respawn Retro Gaming Fond Du Lac?
I have not been to any of those stores. I'll add them to my list though.
@@sclmatt how long do these roadtrips take
Glad to see skylanders videos are still being made I’m very tempted to start collecting them again but it will be hard since there not sold in stores anymore
@Sportz1 YEAH skylanders the best!!!!!!
There's used game stores, flea markets, garage sales, and if you don't mind shopping online there's even more options including my shop. There are thousands of folks just like who have start the journey to complete their collection again.
same
@@sclmattI have a question when you find a skylander with a sticker on the bottom what do you do to get it off because when I peel them the residue stays on
I found some skylanders at a convention this weekend but sadly it was all common figures and really overpriced (Them selling OG trigger happy for $10 is a great example of that) Glad you found some insane finds though!
Yeah, I always appreciate seeing them in the wild. I just wish some folks would do a little more research.
Glad you visited the Exchange! I hail from PA and that’s probably the most popular resale shop where I live and is also where I picked up some Skylanders for a lot cheaper than market price. My friends and I visit those regularly on our outings so I’m always checking for new Skylanders.
Magna Charge and Grave Clobber! If those go up this Saturday I am gonna do everything in my power to make sure I get there in time this go around! I think I'm gonna go ahead and get the SCL VIP Friday as well because it seems like a very good deal.
I just discovered you a few days ago but you're already my hero!
I once had an awesome collection, but then my brother sold 60% of it to a pawn shop without my permission, and I've wanted to rebuild it for so long, but I've been tricked on ebay too many times with damaged figures, overpricing, and straight up deception, so finding you and your shop is like an old dream becoming a possibility again!
Thank you for doing what you do.
You're welcome! I'm glad to play a part in completing your collection. Magna Charge goes up most weeks. Grave Clobber is a bit tougher, but he'll be back in time.
There is an Exchange in Indiana as well. When I first started collecting Skylanders I spent $100 and almost cleaned them out. I was able to finish my spyros adventure and giants collection from there.
Interesting. I knew there were a few in western Pennsylvania, but I didn't know they spread to Indiana as well. I'll have to check them out.
got yourself a new follower from france mate, love your video style and i'm extremely jealous of your prices lol
Welcome aboard! For your information, we do ship to France. The shipping costs are a bit higher, but I know we have a few French customers already.
Am I the only one who pre shops 😅, I’m just saying that wamshell,nightfall,rocky roll, and Shield striker loook prettty nice haha, also nice finds, u got some mad good luck
Strange Skylander (true) story I am just itching to tell people:
Back in 2011, when I got Spyro's adventure (Wii) for Xmas. I opened up the starter pack and I took out the core of light and it's USB adapter. Seeing the adapter, I assumed it connected to a laptop or PC, having no idea that it went into the Wii itself (this is going somewhere btw). So, I got a laptop, switched it on and stuck the portals' adapter into it; the portal turns on. Secondly, I put the game in my Wii which is connected to my TV, works fine. I put a Skylander onto the portal, it works just fine. If your confused about how this is strange, here is a breakdown:
TV and Wii (Group A) and Laptop and portal (group B). Group A is NOT linked to group B in any way at all. I place figure on portal (B) , it shows up in the game (A) . . . . . how is this possible?
It's so cool to see these videos. I am going to be sad when the wells run dry on skylanders, because I am trying to get every character myself 😢
I'm not worried about that any time soon. They produced millions of Skylanders figures over the years. Most of them are just sitting in basements and attics. We just need to find them.
Good finds! Inspired me to go to my local Disc Replay only to find a whole bin full of starter pack figures.
Haha. Yeah, I've learned they can be hit or miss. Sometimes it's just a matter of hitting it on a good day while I'm convinced some locations just don't get new stock in.
It’s been a while since I’ve watched this channel! I travel often around my local area and even into neighboring towns and cities (and flea markets) to find game stores that contain Skylanders, and I have to say, sometimes I am disappointed, MOST of the times I am disappointed. There aren’t enough stores within an hour or two away from where I live unfortunately, and thee are less that actually contain Skylanders. Last biggest find was a Golden Flameslinger (Checked that it was 100% real) loose that wasn’t even for sale. Awesome that you continue to update your collection with these travels though!
Yess I’ve been waiting for a new travel vid
Enjoy!
Love these!!! Good finds Matt!
Thanks! More to come!
Nice find on the patina! I have to imagine what the interaction was when you bought all those NIB Smash Hits lol
As someone from Ohio, the Exchange is such an amazing store
Thank god that isn't my Disc Replay store in my State my heart jumped for a second
6:11 Is that a Land Trophy? 🏆
That's worth $$ now.
Nope. That looks like the Sky Trophy. But you're right the Land Trophy is quite valuable these days.
question: what was your best haul of Skylanders from doing this?
Honestly couldn't tell you. Don't track totals that closely. I think this one would rank near the top though.
THATS WILD I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO GET ALL THOSE SKYLANDERS ESPECALLY TIAKWON CROW TRI TIP AND AUORUA
out of curiosity, why did you skip over the bronze roller brawl at 6:27? was it just overpriced or was there any other reason?
Yep, you got it. It was way overpriced. I don't recall what it was offhand, but it was a price that I didn't even think twice about putting back.
We need more of these, good luck on comleting your collection! Im going to neos marmaras in some days you know any skylanders shop i can check?
Dude I found an Imaginators Kaos in the wild today!
😮😮 that one is rare 1:05
the other disc replay twicely on Avon, castleton
Are those two better than the two I visited? I haven't had great luck in Indy.
@@sclmatt i lived there, i went to several disc replay on indy to get several skylanders that i ain’t got
What a haul…great job!!!
The crow is my favourite 🎉
Honestly I found mine in a Dolorar store the shield striker
What's your favorite Skylander mine is Love potion Pop fizz
i saw a pumpkin eye brawl in one of the exchange cases, the one he had his back turned. im very surprised you didnt pick that up
If I were buying for my own collection, sure. But when buying with intent to resell, I need to be very cautious of the prices. Figures like that were out of my price range.
@@sclmatt hey man thanks for the reply. i really didnt take price in consideration, very stupid of me to think that you didnt have a pumpkin eye brawl
i went to the first place in Indianapolis and got the good figures btw i found some good ones like enigma nitro krypt king and the light trap master
Ooooh. That’s why I couldn’t find anything worthwhile there.
That shield striker was surprising
It certainly surprised me!
I’m from Pennsylvania. What stores carry skylanders because I can’t find any. Thanks
I haven't personally done any Skylanders hunting in Pennsylvania yet so I don't have solid recommendations. But I do know that The Exchange (a chain in NE Ohio) has a few locations in western PA, so you might try there. Otherwise, keep an eye on my new "Shopping Directory". As I explore new stores or get recommendations from community members these stores will be added to the list. skylanderscharacterlist.com/shopping-directory/
I WANT SKYLANDERS
I’ve always wondered where should I go to find such good skylander lots like these places. Should I be looking for used games stores or where should I be looking?
Yep! I would look for used/retro game stores, flea markets, thrift shops, garage sales, etc...basically any place that sells used items. Typically a better chance if it's a place that specializes in video games, but they can show up anywhere.
@@sclmatt thank you!!!!
I live near champaign and went to disc replay like a couple weeks ago and didnt find like anything.
That just means they're still selling on a regular basis. So hopefully that shop will keep acquiring new lots of Skylanders as well. Just gotta keep checking and hopefully hit one of those days just after they acquire a big collection.
yo i went to several disc replay on Indianapolis (that i lived) need to pickup reallyish rare skylanders that i un-obtained, i clearly get extra figures since i recently broke years ago
Man, I was at the Rockford store a month or so ago and they had didn't have anything good! 😥
I don't always find gold when I go hunting, but it's nice to know that they're still buying Skylanders so it's worth checking in from time to time.
I didnt know patina shield striker existed - is there a patina high-volt?
There is! There are 4 patina figures in total: High Volt and Shield Striker as well as Lava Lance Eruptor and Burn Cycle.
@@sclmatt oh cool
dude i want some skylanders too where did you find them
I mention all the stores I visit and their locations in the video. Meanwhile I have started to compile a list of stores that I visit that have Skylanders as well as recommendations from the community. You can find that list here: skylanderscharacterlist.com/shopping-directory/
I never knew you could find rare skylanders at disc replay
Anything is possible. Just gotta be in the right place at the right time.
I wish I had Rocky Roll.
Is series 1 spyro still good without a wing
Yes?
I found out i had a legendary bouncer, good condition but not in the box do u know what its worth?
$7.99
@@sclmatt ok
If anyone asked me what my biggest mistake was while I was collecting skylanders, it definitely would be when I had the opportunity to get rocky roll for four pounds at my local cex but never got him, and now they sell him for fifteen pounds😢
Always gotta be prepared to grab the deals when you find them.
I’m just after a cheap blaster tron 😂
Your a legend portal master 👏👍
Sadly I don't live that close to a used game store
Neither do I. That's why I travel.
Woah nice grabs ❤
Thanks!
What’s the specific location on the green chi oh mage ?
As mentioned in the video, that was at the Parma Heights location. But I had someone else contact me about it and it seems like it's already gone.
Do you have any normal spitfire and hot streak?
Yes, we should have plenty of both in stock. sclcollectibles.com
Cool thank you cuz I really want a spitfire and hot streak their my fav skylander team
Does anyone know a place get Skylanders in north Carolina
I've only been to the Tennessee locations, but I know McKay's has two locations in North Carolina. If they're anything like the TN locations, they're definitely worth checking out.
@@sclmatt thanks
Just to let you know one of McKay's locations in North Carolina which is Greensboro is rumored to be moving to a new location in Mebane within sometime in November or December of this year.
Hey Any Good places in Nc? I'm Heading there soon!
I haven't been hunting there personally. I know there are a couple of McKay's locations in NC though. I've visited the Tennessee locations and found some good stuff, so you might look there.
Thank You@@sclmatt
Did you not get that bronze rollerbrawl
I did not. It was too expensive.
@sclmatt oh yeah that's the store that did there research
why double trouble is 1.5?
I recommend you watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/YxsniGfOlxE/v-deo.html
How do you look these places up? I would look around my town but don't know where to start.
I usually just search for "retro game store" or "used game store" along with the city I'm in and see what pops up.
Yeah same I want to find used Skylanders
Do you have ro bow or wildstorm
In my collection? Yes. In the store? Not currently, but even when I get them in the store they typically sell out in a few minutes.
6:11 didn't you need that
I may have acquired it elsewhere. Stay tuned for the next road trip video...
Can anyone tell me good stores for sky landers in california
6:27 Bronze Roller Brawl
I did see that while I was there. I know I didn't mention it on camera, but it was priced too high.
Have you been to game xchange?
I've had other people pick up figures from Game X Change for me, but I haven't been to one myself (yet).
@@sclmatt you should go to one
ZAAANG
4:32
Ohio? Oh no… /j
Why do u collect more then u need?
99% of the figures you see me pick up in these videos are not for my own collection. I am trying to help as many folks as possible complete their own collections, so I buy figures and sell them on my site to a worldwide audience. sclcollectibles.com
