You may have already heard about this since I know a few of you have mentioned it to me. Now that I've finally got around to reading the Official Rules, I still thought it was worth posting about.
We have news about the next joint venture between Skylanders and Frito-Lay. I know some of you have not been too fond of Frito-Lay promotions in the past, this one is a bit different.
This promotion begins on February 24, 2014. At that time they will reveal three Skylanders from upcoming (yet-to-be-named) Skylanders game.
Once the contest begins you will be able to go to this site to view the new Skylanders. You must choose one of the three Skylanders, provide your idea for a name as well as your inspiration behind the name.
At the conclusion of the entry period, the judges will select three finalists. From these three finalists the grand prize winner will be selected by a vote.
You can read up on all the nitty, gritty details in the Official Rules here.

While this may seem like a lot of work, I think it's well worth it if you can make it to the final three. Just take a look at the prizes:
7. PRIZE DETAILS: Grand Prize (1): Grand Prize winner will receive a $100,000 Scholarship in the form of a check or wire transfer payable to winner. Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”): $100,000. First Prizes (2): Each First Prize winner will receive a Skylanders® prize package (contents to be determined at a later date by Sponsor, in Sponsor’s sole discretion). ARV: $1,000 each. Winners must accept prizes as stated by Sponsor or prizes will be forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner. Total ARV of all prizes is $103,000.
But whether or not you decide to enter, I'm still looking forward to February 24th because we are guaranteed to see three brand new Skylanders.
I'm excited.
Yeah, I think this is really cool, because you can’t spam entries and you have to actually be creative to win. Plus, like you said, less than ten days from now we’ll be seeing new characters! 😀
It’s a nice change of pace, which is fun, but ultimately this contest will be MUCH harder to win since there are only 3 winners.
It would be nice if there were some sort of Canadian promotion at some point. But at least I’m not staring at yet more figures only available to me via ebay.
Is that just for Americans? Looks like Aussies are once again left out 🙁 Love your work SCL, keep up the great job!
ONE… HUNDRED… THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!!!! You could go to pretty much any college you want with that!!!!
College is getting quite expensive these days, but yes, $100,000 would go a long way.
I am a beautiful person. If you are looking at how the system is not responsible or liable for direct debit. I have a look at the moment. I’m a little while, so that we are able, I think it was not the same. I am not a good time. The only way is Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, England, and the Price of the King.
