Top 10 RAREST Non-Variant Skylanders!
Vložit

- Yo guys, I’ve got a spark which I’m gonna use to ignite the fire for another top 10 video here on the channel. Despite only being toys, certain Skylanders have become increasingly rare over the years. Some characters start out that way, be it due to low production quantities or poor distribution. Then other characters have become much rarer years later. Eitherway, some Skylanders are incredibly rare and today that’s what we’re looking at, as we countdown the top 10 RAREST non-variant Skylanders.
If we included variant Skylanders, this list would be all too easy and generic, so we’re excluded them so we can instead focus solely on the rarest non-variant Skylanders. Gimmick characters like Senseis are still qualified for the list, however vehicles, traps and magic items are not. So don’t expect the Gold Rusher, yawn traps or the volcanic Vault. This list I did originally make 4 years ago, but its in desperate need of a remake, so for today’s Wednesday special project premiere, this is what we’ll be doing. This list is based on the rarity of these characters, ones with terrible distribution and fewer numbers of produced figures will obviously fair much better on the list, but there is also a small-degree of personal experience taken into account for this ranking, meaning characters I myself found rarer to find will also fair much better on the list. I hope you enjoy! :)
#igknightthefire #skylanders #top10 - Zábava
My neighbors had a collection they didn’t use anymore, so they gave it to me. It had Punk Shock, Scratch, Chopper, High Five, and some assorted trap masters and cores and stuff, which is freakin crazy. I’m forever grateful to them.
That's pretty awesome. 😀
My friend did that for me once!
Same bro
I always had a bigger collection than my friend, but there was one thing he had that I didn’t. Hex. I still am Hexless but I have Hijnx
Double Dare Trigger Happy is an example of poor distribution culminated with a desirable character.
Yeh, he was just shy of the honourable mentions. There are just so many surprisingly rare characters from this series.
@@Igknightthefire i agree i wasn't able to get one for that reason alone
I used to be absolutely crazy about skylanders but started to stop during superchargers. Still have the games but not so much the characters. Honestly the ones on the list surprise me since getting most of the characters wasn't too much of a trouble for me, not including superchargers, imaginations, and variants. To my knowledge I have all the ones on the list that are before superchargers. Scratch was my all time favorite because of her attacks. The one I had the most trouble getting was ghost roaster because I started playing a little before giants came out. He disappeared in my area. Man I kind of miss Skylanders. Expensive but fun.
Thanks for the personal sumup. I myself never struggled finding ghost roaster, most if these are characters who became rare overtime, but getting them when they first came out at retail was largely no problem. 😀
Same. I remember looking at them one day and realising that I have mostly skylanders from spyros adventure to swap force era's
Oh man, this takes me back. Around 2018 I think, my local EB Games had A LOT of Skylanders they were trying to get rid of. I couldn't spend much money because my job didn't pay well, but when I could, I'd stop by and see what they would have.
The figures ranged between $5 to $10aus depending on their respective series. I was very happy when I got most of the Skylanders I wanted, and even some that I thought looked very nice and vibed with, like High Five and Grim Creeper.
I would also see newly dumped figures every week, and buy a decent amount before they were all thrown away. I always looked out for Echo and a Sensei but no luck...
I'll miss the series, and they'll always have a special place in my heart, and my shelf (well dad's shelf lol)
6:25 I actually have that Golden dragon cannon as well as the normal one. I remember seeing it on the shelves and thought “woah, I have the normal one, this one is golden, so it must be rarer!”
Turns out I was right.
As far as I know, that’s the only rare thing I have.
Yeh, the golden Canon is really cool, and a pretty great find on your behalf. 😉
BRO SAME I GOT THE GOLDEN CANNON FROM THE GIANTS BATTLE PACK WITH S2 CHOP CHOP AND SHROOMBOOM
One of the few Skylanders that my sister got was Scratch and to this day whenever it gets brought up I thank her for it
Wise sister.
I honestly didn't know that spotlight and blackout were that rare, I was literally walking through a store one day and saw both expansion packs there (this was likely very soon after the release (probably within 2 weeks)) and just got them. Funnily enough, I have two spotlight figurines.
When they first came out, before they sold out, they were common, doesn't change that very few of them were produced, leading them to be rarer nowadays. 😀
In my old Skylanders collection there was, echo, thunderbolt, blackout, shortcut, spotlight, eons elite whirlwind, trailblazer, fling kong, traps and gusto. So um yeah, I owned quite rare characters before my house burnt when i was 9. So im nowadays 16 and i think i could start collecting Skylanders again. I btw Shortcut and blades with pretty cheap price from my long time friend.
rip house
Here’s hoping you can get some of those rare Skylanders! Sorry your first collection went down in flames, but I guess that just means your collection was 🔥
@@MysteryMusic512 oof 😔
Most of the senseis trap team cores are super rare which I find infuriating
Yeh, it certainly is a pattern.
I got both Wild Storm and Row Bow at Toy's R Us (USA) early in their releases. Wild Storm is one of my favorite Sensei's, but I'm not a huge fan of Row Bow. I'll have to give him another look. Thanks for the countdown.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Everyone who got those characters at retail made lucky judgement calls. 😃
Gotta love the Imaginators gameplay at the start. ;)
7:46 it's also because black out has a glitch that makes him unkillable by normal attacks so that also adds to his demand
Yeh. That's pretty INSANE.
I must admit, a couple years ago, I found Ro Bow In an EB Games second hand bin, and only paid about $25-$30AUD, I was only starting to get back into the series at the time, and buying quite a few second hand, and I lucked out on him and Blackout too among some others 😅
Nice. :)
Honestly i think chompy mage is ever so slightly rarer than wild storm but thats my opinon as wildstorm hasnt be selling particularly well in my area of uk but it deffo feels good to almost this entire list excluding breeze but i dont care about mini in slightest so i doesnt matter that im missing one
Yeh, the entire top 3 are pretty much interchangeable. :)
I stopped collecting Skylanders a long time ago, but I still have the good rarer characters like Kaos, Chompy Mage, Wild Storm (bought day 1), Ro Bow (bought at a Toys R Us day 1), Spotlight, Blackout, and the Dark and Light Expansions.
I still hoping to get Echo, Whirlwind, and Double Dare Trigger Happy.
That's cool. Good luck getting 'em. 😀
I remember collecting these with my dad when we found black out and spotlight he was a huge spryo fan and collected all the dragons
Nice. 😀
I got Scratch for Christmas when I was about 12 years old and she was was favourite Skylander ever since and I still have her to this day. Pretty awesome to know that she is rare!
Awesome story. Such a great Christmas gift. :)
I had purchased painyata as one of very few skylanders I was allowed to pick, sold him along with all my other skylanders stuff for 40$
When i was little i loved using scratch, this glow in the dark sonic boom and blackout what i hated was that scratch and blackout couldnt rlly fly to get around like sonic boom did but still loved to use them and loved their design
Great video 🔥
Thanks man. :)
years ago,youghly around the tail end of swap force, me and my brother had a respectable collection of characters, but due to being stupid and arguing alot, we actually ended up losing near *all* of thm, with only the few damaged ones we ha being spared. now, all i have is an undamaged (at least i think theyre undamaged as i havent gotten my hands on any of the games in forever) knight mare.
id kill to be able to have all those figurines again and be able to play once more, and to try out knight mare. as ive had her for a few years now, but mostly as a collectible as things stand
That's an interesting story. Knightmare is a rarer and more expensive character atleast. Hopefully you'll rebuild your collection and play the games again someday. :)
Yet man great video
Thanks bro. 😃
I’m only missing lightcore bumble blast, chompy mage, wild storm and ro bow. All the others I was able to find at a cheaper than market price. I got breeze for $50 when she normally sells for $100+
In this moment i think chompy mage is the rarest...ro bow and wildstorm were at least in some stores...chompy mage was only avaiable for preorder on amazon and never in stores
In certain regions his distribution was much better. Wildstorm and robow are just the notorious top 2 in this instance, but all 3 are practically interchangeable.
i remember when there was some sensei like hood sickle and kaos that i didnt get and i regret for £5 back in 2016 in smyths
I never saw Spotlight or Blackout in stores. I had to get them off Ebay (and it took me FOUR YEARS to find Blackout)
Once I was in a shop where I saw lots of Blackout and Spotlight for a very low prize. I took them both with me of course 😂
Great find! 😀
I have wild storm my brother bought the skylander when imaginators came out well I’m thankful……
You forgot punk shock, this little one took me two years to find (I'm from Europe so I don't know if she was more present in other parts of the world) I found it in a bazar and she was in a very good state
Never struggled with punk shock personally. Compared the 10 on this list, usually she's a cake walk
So many of these I’m still searching for. But I think so far Hood Sickle is the hardest for me to find atm (Aus) but hopefully I’ll get it cheap enough online or maybe at a CEX 🤣
Good luck, hoodsickle certainly is one of the harder ones to get. I paid £36 for both versions of him in the end.
It’s ridiculous how hard to come by they are. I think I’ll have to get it overseas cause at the moment can’t find a single one in Australia 🤣
hey igknight the fire. I bet you have a grand collection as well. the only ones I am missing from the top 10 are echo, spotlight, and blackout. for the special mentions, its thrillapede, hood sickle, and wallop. question by your skills and personality who would you be out of the sensies. I would be grave clobber.
No idea which sensei I would be. But I hope you get those characters soon. One of my most popular videos is my collection showcase, so if you ever want to check out my collection, look no further than that video. ;)
I’m so glad I got Ro-Bow for retail price when it came out
Very lucky. 😀
I feel so lucky that i got robo in stores for retail price easily my luckiest moment
Nice. 😃
… the number of these I had… and sold for basically nothing tbc it just got to be to much and needed the weight off my shoulders lol… hurts. I had so many of these
I stopped playing skylanders at superchargers because I couldnt get past a certain part of the game if I didnt have an air vehicle or something. It was a part of the game involving chickens and you could make them grow or shrink I think.
Nah, all the sky sections were only optional. 🤣
It were the land sections which were compulsory to advance. Luckily for those, you had the instant vehicle, which would be used whenever you didn't have a vehicle on the portal, so even without the figures, the game could still be played.
I had both knightlight and knightmare and they were half the price as the expansion pack because these were just by themselves so I was disappointed that I didn't got sunscraper and Midnight Museum along with the traps at toys r us
That's a shame, given that the trap masters are the easiest parts of those sets to get.
@@Igknightthefire and I got them back in the winter of 2017 before my father who got me into Skylanders passed away in the summer
@@scourgathehedgehog4132 oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. My condolences.
I remember having to call Toys R Us for weeks to find Scratch, and each one only got 3 in the final wave shipment, it was a disaster
Yeh, I got lucky and found her pre-owned one day.
... suddenly I'm glad I still have spotlight
you should have added series 2 drobot in the honourable mentions list since he's also pretty difficult to get
He was at number 9. Based on my personal experiences, since I NEVER saw him in retail.
@@Igknightthefire oh my bad, cuz when you mentioned him in #9 you showed a picture of series 1 drobot and I thought how was series 1 drobot rare
Didn't have footage of series 2, so I used that gameplay instead.
I have almost all of the honorable mentions but the only one I have that’s on the list is Scratch
Scratch is still pretty cool. ;)
Wow, coming back to the whole Skylanders thing and realizing their worth still after so many years of me not playing I want to go hunting again and crack open the Wii just to play giants all over again
Yeh, some skylanders haven't just retained their original value, they've exceeded it. 😀
@@Igknightthefire 🫢 I should really check my old collection to see what I had
this is a pretty great list, although I'm surprised thrillipede didn't make it.
Its based alot of this list on my personal experiences and I never struggled to find Thrillipede.
@@Igknightthefire I guess that makes sense. Over in America, he costs over a hundred dollars loose
@@Igknightthefire I also believe that lightcore pop fizz is pretty rare too, but I'm not entirely certain
Of all the Giants Lightcores (besides variants), Pop Fizz was the rarest one, but that's really the only extent to his rarity. Once again, I never had trouble finding him personally, I had bigger issues finding lightcore Chill funnily enough.
not me watching this with a breeze in my inventory that I got in a lot for 10 bucks LMAO
Nice. 😀
Sadly I have barely anything but at least I have chain reaction, hoodsickle and the light/dark trap masters
Nice, still very impressive. :)
I had a hard time finding ghost roaster
wow. save imaginators (i was out of a job when it came out) i have them all
Nice!
i have a lot of these figures, i hope have wildstorm and boom bloom though
I hope you get them. 😀
@@Igknightthefire thx
Getting senseis is hell today
Yes, it's a very difficult and expensive endeavour.
im happy becuase people still play skylander
yeh, that makes me happy also. :)
I have so many Skylanders that I don't really need
I was really lucky in getting Blackout, I got him at a book store for $1.99
Mad! Lucky you. 😀
Didn't know that Drobot s2, lc bumble blast were hard to find.
Yes. They're some of the hardest to get.
maybe late to the party but after a year searching i found ro-bow for a high prices but it's still in the box
Noice. 😀
@@Igknightthefire do u also hope they make a new skylander game with toys2life i really hope so my fav present i ever got was skylanders giants starter pack for my birthday and now being 20 wishing for a next game
Would lightcore drobot make this list? Orange base and good condition idk where I found it honestly
No, he's one of the most common and easy to find figurines out there. Still a cool figure though, definitely worth owning. 😉
It’s crazy how People still are into skylanders after imaginators. I don’t blame them tho.
Yeh, the community is still pretty strong, even to this day. :)
I remember years ago I made a trade on the skylanders subreddit where I traded NIB light and dark expansion packs for NIB mini’s of air/fire/wind and water Which at the time where never released in my area
Looking back the other guy might have gotten the better end of the deal but eh, all good I guess
Still I look back at how much of a risk it was actually doing that
Actually, the air mini's alone were worth it. But red base thumpling and the fire minis are also quite valuable.
Damn, watching this reminded me how bummed I was when I tried to get Blackout, but I NEVER found him in any store. And Echo I had to order through Amazon. At that time, it was either her, or Blackout, and I chose Echo. No regrets, I just wish I had that dark dragon.
And yes, I still have all my figures from all the way since Spyro's Adventure. My favorite of the games was Supercharged, but Giants holds a special place for me. ... Wish someone would revive the games, maybe for some special occasion. Make the figures work on the game, as well as sell them digitally... I digress... I miss this series of games, and although I only have access to Imaginators on Switch, I like popping the game in at times and playing around to kill time. (I only got Crash and Cortex from the extra sets :( )
I had a choice for either echo, spotlight or blackout at retail. I chose Echo. Only regretted it for about 3 years, where I found spotlight and blackout combined pre-owned for £17, so cheaper than retail anyways. 😀
@@Igknightthefire Seriously!? They came in a combined package!? :'( I wish I had known
@@OmegaStarstrike Well no. got spotlight for £12 and Blackout for £5, so combined price after having got them separately was £17. :)
@@Igknightthefire Ohh, I get it now. Lucky find there. I tried looking for Blackout now, and it's at $150. It's insane O_O
I have the following
Drobot [car boot sale]
Thrillipede [tyne bargains is the best]
Chain reaction [nothing 2 say]
Knight light [worth the 22 pounds I spent 2 get him]
Nice. 😀
I actually have Blackout. He’s one of my favorite skylanders.
Nice. :)
@@Igknightthefire Thx
holy shit the nostalgia.
Oh, I've got Spotlight. Didn't know she was rare
And Blackout! Well, guess I got lucky.
Yeh, you got very lucky. 😀
Its sad because i bought ro-bow way back when, bht his feather fell off, so im sure a lot of the value was lost, that being said i would never sell him😂
Glad to hear he's valuable enough to you so you won't sell him so easily. 😀
Yeh, its a massive shame about the feather. 😞
@Igknightthefire Yea I would never, also, I'm just too lazy to sell things online😂 but if I ever did sell it, I wouldn't be out there price gouging it😅
I used to have d robot but he got thrown away
How much was the price for the Imaginators and Creation Crystalls on Launch?
Sensei's were £15, Adventure Packs were £30 and Creation Crystals were £10.
@@Igknightthefire thank you so much sir
ok watching the video I was thinking well I wonder if hoodsicle would be there because he wasn't just in the bundle like chompy but when I saw the mentions I was pissed my friend stole my hoodsicle
Edit: spelling and grammar
Ah man, that sucks, I hope you can replace your hoodsickle someday. :)
@@Igknightthefire yea me too the worst part it was a birthday gift from him
@@DarthxJonah one my friends did the same thing. Just with an xbox game rather than a rare Skylander.
@@Igknightthefire yea it sucks, like why would you steal something from a friend other if you weren't friends but still its wrong so what's the point you could press charges over a disk or some plastic point not worth it.
I never knew drobot and blackout were so rare
Because i have both
Specifically series 2 drobot. The series 1 and light core are still incredibly common though.
I have all those Skylanders……………..
Except green Chompy Mage he’s one of the last non variant Senseis I need and he’s so damn expensive
Good luck with green chompy mage. :)
I have no skypander in the top ten... EXCEPT Ro - bow 😂 i got sooooo lucky
I found a choppy mage at a cex for 15 pond
Wow. Thats incredible. 😀
i am glad i at least have two of them
i got a unopened Swap Force Starter Pack two
Noice! 😀
I mean I had a Spyro that they forgot to paint
Sounds like a prototype or factory error. Either way, those are really rare and valuable. 😉
Amazon wasn’t available for Australia when that choppy mage was selling so it was physically impossible for us to get it back them
Oh no. Just when you thought Green Chompy Mage was rare enough as is...
I have a drobot in perfect condition and he is my main
Nice. :)
Why were the light and dark dragons so dang hard to find?
They underproduced them.
I'm in italy and there were loads of s2 drobot
Huh, well in the UK I never saw the character at retail, no matter where u went looking for it either.
Is series 2 the ones with the orange bottoms
Yes, but there are 2 drobot's with the orange base. The one which lights up is the lightcore, thats the common one. ,
@@Igknightthefire cool, I have the orange drobot lol. I do have the orange bash one tho, it's nice to see that one of my skylanders are pretty rare in the states.
I have like over 100 sky landers and I have bumbleblast
It's his lightcore specifically which is rare.
wait so drobot was not released in europe how can i a european find a drobot on store shelves
Europe was a little exaggeration. Plus, it doesn't help that until now, that's only what I've heard. Based on personal experiences, I live in the UK, which is Europe. I NEVER saw him at retail, and I travelled to different places in the country at the time. Perhaps now, you can see why it's easy for me to make the assumption.
oh Echo
the only way i ever got bumble blast was second hand
Likewise, got very lucky with a job lot, where the seller clearly didn't know the value of light core bumble blast alone
I might buy skylanders giants should I?
Absolutely, its a fantastic game! :)
Anyone else have trouble finding undead skylanders during the 1st game
After Giants, Undead characters from Spyro's Adventure started to become much harder to find. Cinder was also in shortage until a later wave, where she was released. Chop chop and Hex however, I never had any trouble finding.
As a German.. i have Drobot what
Interesting, never been Germany. I should've said he never got a UK release, rather than an European release, because that seems to be more accurate. S2 Drobot still incredibly rare though.
I got 6 of them 😊
Nice. 😃
no way i have dro bot and i got in sweden and i never realized it was rare at all
Its the series 2 version specifically that is rare. The series 1 and lightcore counterparts are much easier to find.
@@Igknightthefire yeah the series 2 is from giants right?
Yes, 1 of the 2 orange bases
@@Igknightthefire eyy I got the rare one then
Nice. 😀
oh wow i still have echo somewhere lol
Nice.
@@Igknightthefire it is nice to see old childhood games still played. even after years, its always nice to come back to those warming memories
I've got ro bow in game stop for 12€😂😂😍
wow, that's incredible. :)
I have knightmare
Nice. That's an awesome character! 😉
Bro I had lightcore drobot
That's the common one, it's specifically his series 2 which is rare.
400th viewer and 50th like:)
Noice. 😃
I got robow
That's awesome man, congrats. 😀
non variants you say... and what is green chompy mage?
A non variant which can be found on the list. 🤣
I waNted to bow couldn't find it
I hope you get him someday. :)
I got thrillipede from a charity shop for 2 pounds!
Nice. 😀
Where can I buy „cheap“ skylanders
In countries where its available, CEX isn't too bad. Ebay you can large bundles of common figures for very low prices. Mecari, Facebook Marketplace are other places you can look. Pawn shops, charity stores, yard/car boot sales and used game stores are your next best bet. 😉
Gave my Skylanders to my brother so he could play it with his son and he sold everything to get an xbox 1 😑
Oof.
I have scratch
Nice. 😃
@@Igknightthefire i honestly can’t remember where I got her. But she’s so expensive now! I’m so glad I kept her. I sold most of my skylanders and games for a ps4. Biggest mistake ever.
aint no way drobot is rare. i personally live in europe and somehow got 2 of em
A little information might be wrong, that placement is based also on my personal experiences, and I NEVER even saw him in retail. Even in regions where he was more common, I remember watching skylander hunting videos where people were always struggling to find him. Number 9 is where he belongs, from my personal recollection. Seeing a character a couple times in retail, and buying them, doesn't qualify them as common or easy to get, in that case, there might as well be no list whatsoever. Lol 🤣
I didn't know scratch was rare apparently, I must've got lucky in the wild
If you got her when she first came out, that was when she was at her most common, but yeh, finding her in the wild past 2014 is indeed incredibly lucky. ;)
Wrong I live in finland wich is a part of Europe and I have drobot.
Yes, a mistake i made, but remember that this is also based on my personal experiences, I'm from the UK which is Europe also and I NEVER saw a series 2 drobot. Whilst I'm wrong about that one specific fact, doesn't change that series 2 Drobot is still on the rarest most Skylanders out there. 😀
@@Igknightthefire Ahh ok understood. No worries.
