Skylanders Swap Force: The cheapest way to get all the toys you need for the main campaign

So, you picked up Skylanders Swap Force and are now faced with a terrifying reality: Seeing everything in the game means you’re buying at least six more Skylanders figures on top of the $75 starter pack. Without a little help, you might spend another $100-200 on toys that may or may not enable you (or your children) find all the legendary treasure and collectible hats!

Skylanders Swap Force is the latest installment in the Skylanders series and is available on all current-gen consoles as well as the Nintendo 3DS. Each game focuses on a set of magical guardians that correspond to eight different elements: life, earth, fire, water, air, undead, and tech. Various bonus areas can only be unlocked by Skylanders of a certain type, so you need at least one of each element to open all the gates and find the goodies inside.
