Video Game Collector’s Editions That Weren’t Worth the Money
Any Skylanders Dark Edition
The Dark Editions of the Skylanders games were an excellent business decision for Activision as the only purpose of them was to bait collectors into spending more money. Want to collect all of the figures? Gotta cough up for those Dark Editions, baby.
Many Skylanders games had a Dark Edition variant for the Starter Packs. Literally, the only difference with them was that the figures were dark. Did it cost Activision any more to make? No. Will it cost you more to buy? Oh, you know it.
The instance that got me was Skylanders: Superchargers for Wii and Wii U. These versions came with Donkey Kong and Bowser figures, respectively, which doubled-up as amiibo figures. As an amiibo collector at the time, I had to have these variants. That was a sad, expensive day.
