One of the hottest games of the season is Skylanders Swapforce and we want to spread the love with a giveaway in time for gift giving. A couple years back Skylanders was introduced and was a hit in our house. It was a truly interactive video game where the players brought the characters to life. This year the game has been brought to a new level with Skylanders SWAP Force.

Skylanders SWAP Force features new abilities; flying, climbing, digging, bouncing, and teleporting which can be used in previously unexplored areas of Skylands. 16 new core characters, eight new LightCoreﾙ characters and 16 new versions of fan favorite Skylanders from previous games.
