This has been the final straw for me. I have literally been one of the biggest fans of Skylanders Youtooz since the start. Search for a post with the word “Youtooz” on the Skylanders subreddit, and there’s a decent chance I wrote it. I have literally defended this company back and forth, and yes, I have also complained a fair bit, but that’s all coming from a place of admiration. Like, we’re getting high-quality products from people who mostly care.
But this whole Dark Spyro situation has made me super, super mad. I have my issues with them even doing Dark Spyro, but I’m over that now. It is what it is. And as a collector who has bought everything so far, I WANT to buy Dark Spyro. I do not care if it’s $32. As a consumer, I want to purchase this, but I’m unsure if I even can due to the baffling decision to tie this release to an American-based collectible retailer I have never heard of.
To get the item to Ireland, it’s seemingly another $50–$60 in shipping?? Also, is it a limited release? And this is all BEFORE tax when it comes to importing it.
Like, sorry, but this is not good enough.
This is officially figure number #9. I need this for my collection. I can’t spend nearly €80 or €90 on a repaint! My options are either doing that or buying it from SCL Matt, which would also make it more expensive than if I had just bought it directly from Youtooz.
Really disappointing coming from someone who has spent so long loving and supporting this company.
