As detailed in the HUKD post, you'll want to add the following to your basket to make the most of your money:

Skylander Giants Triple Pack A (3 figures)
Skylander Giants Triple Pack C (3 figures)
Skylander Giants Triple Pack E (3 figures)

Skylander Giants Triple Pack G (3 figures)
Skylander Giants Scorpion Striker Battle Pack (2 figures plus weapon)
Skylander Giants: Giant Figure - Hot Head

Doing so gets you free shipping and brings down the price to under £40, making this an absolutely amazing Christmas present. You could alternatively add one of the other console versions at a higher cost.

What has massive videogame-and-toy franchise Skylanders got in store for fans young and old? Activision’s John Coyne gave BT Games the lowdown.
Way to go on the crap headline ianos. Don't quote someone and leave words out in the same sentence. They never said "consoles are the key to gaming experience". They actually said:
"But we very much see that consoles are key to our gaming experience."
Key word. OUR. Not to mention, right before that line, they said this in the last paragraph.
"We see consoles as core to the Skylanders experience because consoles are core to the family gaming experience."
Some kid is gonna crap his pants on Xmas morning with that deal!
