Newlander Upgrade Paths in Skylanders Giants
First off let me just say that this is a long time overdue...Having gone the entire blind playthrough with "box stock" Skylanders took away from things...It did make for a bit more of a challenge, and I did have peace of mind for potential Heroic Challenge issues or Quest Problems etc, but the upgrades are one of the more enjoyable parts of the game.
That said, I will still log these videos on the Skylanders Giants Blind Playthrough Blog Post: http://1ofwiisdom.blogspot.com/2012/10/skylanders-giants-playthrough.html
Similarly, you can catch the Giants Upgrade Paths here:

Take this link for the Series 2 Skylander Upgrade Paths:
COMING SOON!
But, I felt the series was worthy of a stand alone post. Luckily, with the Newlanders and their in-game variants, LightCore Versions, or Legendary counterparts I had 2 of almost all of them....which means you get to see BOTH PATHS! The only one I don't have 2 for is Sprocket, which may change here soon...I caved in and bought another Fright Rider.
*Please note that all the "numbers" I use are with the full discount (All 20 Winged Sapphires).
That aside, the videos will be below, but I want to take a little time to showcase what you'll need to fully upgrade any Newlander (I think this is way easier to understand in text form, but I realize most prefer video...hence why I rambled on about it):
So basically, as reiterated in the video, you need $8,520 to fully upgrade your Newlander. With that out of the way, here are the vids:
