Okay, I just got a theory. What if it's an exclusive Kaos-themed vehicle without it's own Supercharger? But since we know traps can be used to enhance vehicles, you could use the Kaos Trap to enhance this vehicle?

After seeing the pics it makes more sense why a singles of the starter sc's even though included in the starters, the kaos part looks interesting and can go many ways with what little is revealed, when I started trap team over and put the kaos trap in while kaos is in the academy there is a size difference between the two and could support the theory of the trap team kaos is a clone/imposter, I had a feeling the dark edition was going to pop up sooner or later it will be interesting to see if donkey kong gets infused with the darkness

Kaos can shapeshift with the normal extent of his powers as shown in TT, it'd be a really big stretch to do that with the super form thing but it's still kind of smart if that's what VV uses to explain... Still would like something a little more canon and less handwave.

God dammit, dark edition has been confirmed,
Now my wallet is on life,support

Speaking of Adventure pieces,has anyone confirmed if this would even have Adventure Packs? Seems to me like this game is lite on content all around. Hoping that since there are only 20 figures, 12 of which are actually new, we at least get some Adventure Packs and Magic Items.

There are racing packs not adventure packs. This was found on Amazon BTW.

Could you provide us the links of the Racing Packs of which you speak?

Another form of the starter packs p.p a dark edition.

So lets see what my day 1 pricing is


75$ towards Bowser Pack
75$ towards Donkey Kong
100$ (?) towards Dark Starter.

250$ OUCH, (At least that is all 3 terrain types if Sea Shadow is really in it)

I've decoded the Facebook message, Watch out portal masters, we've found more ways to steal your money

Dark editon had revealed https://www.facebook.com/Skyla...5114511/?type=1

So we do have a dark SSStealth Elf after all...

Hey kids, you wanted a chance at early Nightfall over your 10th Stealth Elf? Well screw you, you get an unSupercharge-able Sea Shadow for your Dark SE! Enjoy your wasted money!

(I mean, I hope there's Nightfall in there still and they just won't reveal yet. Doesn't make Dark Dark Skylanders less redundant tho, I know the Darkness isn't the entire Dark element but they can at least call them Corrupted Dark Skylanders or something)

Looking good

Looks great

Okay, Stealth Elf is the only main thing wrong about the dark pack. First, that's not her vehicle. Second, there are two Dark Spyro's and now two Dark Stealth Elfs.

Also what is that Kaos Trophy thing? A bonus level like adventure packs?

I'm curious what the Kaos trophy does exactly.

Kaos Trophy might be a Magic Item or even a Racing Pack thing.

That's what I'm thinking, but I hope thy actually tell us now that it's revealed. I feel it'll be an adventure pack or racing add on.

Wii U owners don't get another Stealth Elf
That never really bothered me but....

YA JELLY?

(Kinda mad we don't get sea shadow tho...)
(And two land vehicles? Srsly?)

See art for dark edition , ew that looks ugly
Sees figure, SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
Though my opionion might change

Need: WiiU Starter Pack, 3DS Starter pack, PS4 Dark Starter Pack, WiiU Dark Starter Pack...

starting to get expensive...

AND Wii Dark Starter Pack???


Well, no I don't need the PS4 starter pack as SSSE, Hot Streak and Spitfire will get singles

Well now that I know the wiiu version has dk,spitfire,barrel blaster and hot streak I'm going to buy it!

according SkylandersGame from twitter the kaos trophy will unlock special kaos gameplay content

Oh, so the SuperCharger coupled with Dark Sea Shadow is Dark Super Shot Stealth Elf.

I don't think I really need to say anything elese, right...?

NOT ONLY is she overused in each Starter Pack (except for the Nintendo Dark Editions thank Eon);
NOT ONLY is she getting a Single Pack, most likely a Combo Pack and, why not, probably a couple more palette swaps;
NOT ONLY did she as a character got to be an Eon's Elite, has 2 legit reposes, a Mini and a SuperCharger version along with a legendary and ANOTHER Dark palette swap;
NOT ONLY is she never coupled with her own vehicle practically "forcing" you to buy it separately to experience the magic of the supercharge...

But she has also been paired with Nightfall's vehicle so not only will you "have" to get Stealth Elf's helicopter but also Sea Shadow's SuperCharger.

This. Is. Not. Logical.
Well, it is. In a greedy and... No it is wrong.
On sooooo many levels...

It's what I'm saying guys, jt can't be anything less than the devs' waifu. They want everyone to know how cool she is, and that there's no way someone doesn't want her... Even if it's trash.
No offense to Stealth Elf, she's cool. But waifus are automatically trash, even mine and yours.

Each time a new Stealth Elf is revealed I look at my mandatory Ninja Stealth Elf with disappoint and then look at my S1 Stealth Elf and think "You will always be the only one for me"...
Same for all the other "new" Skylanders but you got my point.

Aaaaaah... Back on topic.

Bowser and Donkey Kong look much better with part of their bodies not being entirely black/silver/purple.
If only the in-game Dark Spitfire matched his figure form... Too difficult to make a black fire or leave the light blue on the figure, I guess.

YOU HAD ONE JOB SKYLANDERS

It's possible that Dark Spitfire might not be final. I'd be a bad idea to keep the flames blue. Look at his claws, they're black instead of blue like regular Spitfire.

Remember Dark Wash Buckler looked MUCH glossier when first revealed compared to what DWB looked like in the final game.

I am disappointed with the Stealth Elf decision.
WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nightfall is the Coolest Female Skylander I have Seen.
They could have made Nightfall and Sea Shadow Exclusive to Dark Edition.
Spitfire looks amazing!
Hot Streak Looks amazing!
Everything Else Looks Amazing!
But Why Activision!?!?!
Why Stealth Elf in Sea Shadow.
They Could Have made Stealth Copter Dark!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope so.

Hot Streak's wheels are still light blue so it would seem weird if they didn't do the same with Spitfire or conversely made his flames look black.

Imagine if they went with purple though.
Sooooo cool!

So, now folks can reasonably get upset about the amount of starters you have to buy to "Catch 'em all".

3DS Regular - Bowser, Clown Cruiser, Stealth Elf
Wii Dark - Dark Bowser, Dark Clown Cruiser, Dark Spit Fire, Dark Hot Steak, Kaos Cup.
Wii U Dark - Dark Donkey Kong, Dark Barrel Blaster and 3 more duplicates.
Wii U Regular - Donkey Kong, Barrel Blaster and another duplicate.
3rd Console Dark - Dark Stealth Elf, Dark Sea Shadow and 3 more duplicates
And either a 3rd Console regular or buy Hot Steak/Spit Fire in single/combo pack.

And y'all thought it was bad before. :p

Cruuuuud! So much money...



-vm

No Sea Shadow in Wii U Pack? Dark Spitfire looks worse than regular Spitfire? Yeah, I'm not going to feel bad if these aren't in stock by the time the price goes down.

Anyway, with Stealth Elf AND Sea Shadow in the non-Nintendo editions, but not their respective pairing, it looks like Nightfall and Stealth Elf's 'copter might not be in Wave 1.

Is there a Dark 3DS edition? haven't seen pics of it and we've never had one before...

Whoops, looks like I misinterpreted the Wii version as also being the 3DS version. I'll edit that part out.

Skylander's Facebook page:

All Dark Edition Starter Packs include Dark Spitfire and Dark Hot Streak. Dark Super Shot Stealth Elf and Dark Sea Shadow will be available exclusively in the Dark Edition Starter Packs for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation® 3 and PlayStation® 4. The Wii U™ Dark Edition Starter Pack will include Dark Turbo Charge Donkey Kong and Dark Barrel Blaster, exclusively. A different, unique adventure including Dark Hammer Slam Bowser and Dark Clown Cruiser will be made available on Nintendo’s Wii™ system.

No mention of a Dark tablet edition either. Hm. Guess I'll be getting the dark edition on a Microsoft or Sony platform?

For the completist, the amount of duplicates as a result of these announcements is staggering. There should be plenty of game discs, portals, spitfire w/ car and stealth elfs w/ car on eBay. The opening deals better be good if they want these to sell.

Look at all of these starter packs I can't afford to buy, but am going to have to buy anyway!

So now for a complete collection you need:

Dark WiiU (for dark DK)
Regular WiiU (for regular DK)
Dark other console (dark sure shot SE)
Regular other console (for regular spitfire and regular SE)
Regular 3DS (for regular Bowser)

And you end up with some duplicates.

Not getting them all just got much more enticing. The used market is the way to go it seems or a massive sale.

There will beingle packs for at least StealthElf and Hot Streak, so we can expect Spitfire as well. In that case we'd only need the Dark 'other console' pack.

We'd be left with one extra Dark Stealth Elf, two Extra Dark Spitfire and Dark Hotstreak, and one extra Kaos Cup.

Fixed.


Rumours say that Spitfire and his vehicle will get a single pack (or maybe a double pack) release. If that's true, that makes one less starter pack to buy.

Im sure the dark starter pack figures will wind up at gamestop in the used figure section this time next year. Maybe not DK and Bowser, but likely the vehicles and other figures.

Or, there will probably be huge sales. I think now you can get a starter pack for pretty cheap.

Hot Streak is indeed getting a single pack and likely Spitfire because of it.

Nice! Then for a complete collection, only 5 starter packs will be needed.

Now if only Dark Stealth Elf gets a single release so it can be 4....

Well it's on Amazon if anyone wants to pre-order!

Thanks, just saw that - didn't figure they would go for a Dark 3DS version.
