Skylanders Swap Force

Anybody know anything about these??

My daughter found a time, jumbo pack & dog tags at WalMart. Last year I got her a box of Skylander cards but I didn't know that this was in the works.

I saw the tins and Jumbo packs at Wal-mart this past week. My son was 12 when the first release came out and was excited about it. It is passe to him now. He has "moved on". Sage words from a soon to be 14 year old, I guess.
I know nothing about them.

Now, the folks who get my emails knew about it. This is what I have from the preorder info:

The bonus cards in the tin are a little different than originally advertised. There's 1 rainbow foil card (Kaos) TT1 and 3 basic character cards (TT2-TT4). There's also some shrunken down versions of the Mix and Match stickers.

At Toys R Us I found a binder/starter kit that also has exclusive cards - rainbow foil cards and glow in the dark. To finish the binder bonus sets, you need to buy two. You can see one of the cards on the front so you should be able to build these without difficulty.

The toughest cards in the set are the Flip Motion inserts - 16 cards inserted 1:30 packs.

It's worth noting for our overseas correspondents that the USA series is completely different from the UK/EU series.

Thanks Ryan for the binder info, I'll have to go check for those again.

So far they're out at all the regular retail spots here in Vegas. And the flip motion cards are not very common at all. Going to be hard to finish that subset.

Will be curious to see if the inserts are the same images or not. Was the Giants set different? I know the tm/copyright line was from the tin I bought to get 1 of the exclusive foils.
