Skylanders is a game in which you plug a portal into your game system and add a physical avatar to the portal to enter them in to the game. There are a bunch of the figures with different abilities and in game challenges. It's a cool game, pretty fun and adds a collectible aspect that other games don't offer. This is a very good incentive to buy the game and collect all the character pieces.
I don't think this game exists if there is no file-sharing and "piracy", spurring the innovation.

Don't do it he'll just want more figures you can't access certain parts of the game w/o them as well so ya that amounts to in game marketing 
DO NOT DO IT!!!
Fun idea and has some interesting applications in the future will probably lead to more inovating things later on to but it's pretty easy as well see how exploitable it could be to.
Let's see 32 figures at what $15 each = $480
I think it's like $70 for the starter pack
Of course prices will drop probably already have but it's pretty crazy that at the start it probably was well over $500 for the entire collection.

I believe you can get 2 figures for 10 bucks.

Where does file sharing & piracy come into this?

Maybe if there wasn't piracy or file sharing, the company who made the game wouldn't need to create a game with collectibles. Don't get me wrong, this is complete speculation and may not have anything to do with it.
I know you're all bonerized against file sharing, working for adobe and everything, no offense.

not sure where you are paying $15 each.. can get a pack of 3 for 20, and singles i saw were 8 each. my son got it for xmas, along with some money, and he spent some to get a few figures he wanted.
i was fairly pleased with it in general because it gives him a game that he can play with friends, since otherwise it seems that one person is standing there watching while the other plays. while everyone seems to be okay with that system, i think games that they like that can be played at the same time are great.

I had no clue how it worked until now thanks.

yikes if it takes pieces to access ZONES then i'm glad i didn't get it.
i thought it was just different characters you got!
we opted for the kinect instead...so far was a pretty good move.
