Win A 7-Piece Skylanders Pack and Case!

April 5, 2012
Since my son was extra good last year, Santa brought him a Skylanders starter pack with the video game and some figures. And every day he begs me to let him play "just a little more!"

So, what's a Skylander? They're special action figures that come to life in the Skylanders' video game. Just take a Skylander, place it on the Portal of Power base and BOOM! the Skylander will come to life in the game.

There are over 30 Skylanders, each with unique abilities and powers. Here's Spyro, sitting on the base that allows each figure to be in the game. Spyro's a purple dragon who can fly and can breathe fire. As you can see, he's not only the portal for his character to enter the Skylanders' world, he's also a real toy!


An awesome feature of this game is that it doesn't matter what gaming system your kids' friends have at their house. The Skylanders work on and across all major video game systems. You can take your Skylanders over to your friend's house, drop them on their Portal of Power and your Skylanders will come to life in the game! You can use the different figures to explore, battle and collect treasure.

You can win this special Skylanders pack--7 figures (some of them are brand-spanking new) and a carrying case too! It's a $75 value! Here are the figures included:
CAMO (New Wave character)
LEGENDARY BASH
LEGENDARY CHOP CHOP
LEGENDARY SPYRO
LEGENDARY TRIGGER HAPPY
WARNADO (New Wave 5 character)
WHAM-SHELL (New Wave character)


Note--the base included in the above image IS NOT included.

Cool, huh?  But, to be clear, this prize pack DOES NOT include the software or the Power Base. If you don't have that, you will have to buy a starter pack in order to play the game and use the figures on any gaming system.

To win this prize pack, I want to hear what kind of power you'd like to have if you were a Skylander. You can ENTER HERE. Rules: You must be a Beaver Valley Macaroni Kid subscriber to enter this contest. Winner will be picked on Wednesday, April 18 and has 24 hours to respond or prize pack will be given to the next person.
