The game hasn't sold much, but they said somewhere that a Skylander figure is bought about every 2 seconds.


I hope thats true, if this legit then skylanders made billions in just few mounths.

That's not literally what happens. It's a estimate based on how much toys the series as a whole has sold, not how much toys are literally sold in a certain time span.

Yup. I believe that was said during Trap Team as well, and even if that game didn't perform as well, it still had a LOT of toys to sell.

That's pretty much how Skylanders is able to stay alive. There may only be a million people with the newest game, but each one out of those million buys even more figurines to go with their game, boosting the sales and popularity up some more.
Bifrost Diamond Sparx Gems: 9943
#1206 Posted: 19:14:47 06/02/2017
Yeah, but selling back then does not mean selling now - and that's what matters to a company.

So yeah guys, if those packs are good of course, don't wait too much to buy them. Might be the last ones we'll have.
I'm broke and Bad Juju got sent back to the seller because of some mail bull****(we're trying to get her back but neither can do anything without package photos) so I can't even spare enough for Grave Clobber, but I'll definately keep an eye out for them ASAP if they're worth the extra crystal and chest.

I'm definitely going to snap up Wild Storm as soon as I see him, because he's always been my preferred Air and Knight sensei.

When things started to look bad for Imaginators, I reluctantly bought some senseis I didn't want in order to cover my element / battle class bases. I'm keeping them unopened in their boxes. I'll be able to sell Bad Juju and Ambush after I get Wild Storm. After that, I just need Tidepool and I'll be able to say sayonara to Dr Krankcase!

I doubt Activision will announce that the series is cancelled, but it should be interesting to see whether they announce a new game for this year.

The report is due at close of business (US time, presumably) on Feb 9.

#1211 Posted: 15:51:35 09/02/2017
Yeah very true. Cancelled is a strong word. Im just curious about when we'll hear about the report and close of Business makes sense. Around 4:30 or 5, I would assume.

I won't. You saw how FAST they kill their mobile games? Battlecast is just sad, horrible excuse for marketing and they laid everyone off because of another team entirely's mistakes; put an otherwise amazing game down before it could even take off, and it's still missing several cards.

Dunno where, but Jason found it already. Josh probably knows it too since it's exactly what he said.

[User Posted Image]

Ugh. It's going to tide people over, but I can't even play mobile games unless I give up on more PC parts to get a phone that's newer than 6 years.

Still doesn't spell anything good - it could just mean they're squeezing out the last they can out of TFB before kicking them out, or they're waiting on the genre to see how LD fares.

Just a mobile game? Probably won't get it. I've tried most of their mobile games and they are pretty boring for the most part. I most likely won't bother.

#1222 Posted: 21:47:03 09/02/2017
Lost Islands was a surprisingly fair Farmville clone(tons of free ways of getting gems, though toy codes were even better than IRL money), and Battlecast is an amazing, if rushed, Hearthstone lite. It added so much personality to older characters and it was pretty balanced despite being for a much younger target audience(then again, only 3 characters per element allowed for less OP combinations).

Mmmmh... Could just be a clever way to call the yet unreleased Senseis.
And even if they were "new figures" they could still be variants of previously released characters.

But, hey, this are "good" news for me.
I mean... at least they are not the worst, they are still somehow investing in the franchise and fully aknowledged this year updating strategy.

I was kinda hoping for a mention of a 2018 game, but this still sets me in a positive mood.
It's a new territory for this franchise and I'm really curious to see where this will lead.

But they can troll all of us.

I mean it kinda makes sense if the figures are still selling well but games are doing poor is to just add dlc with new figures and release a new game every 2 years or so.

Again, it could still mean giving TFB the last chance; and, with the way they do the mobile games, it might just as well be a set up for it to fail and an excuse to cut the series.

So yeah if the APs aren't your thing, do give the mobile game a try. If it's not already too late and/or Wildstorm and Ro-bow don't sell well, then it will be the last chance.

New expansions huh? Hopefully that means actual pieces, not locked to characters.

I MUST. STAY. POSITIVE.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vr7NkT0-I0U


No console game this year is to be expected really, but hopefully there's still some to come. It'll be interesting to see whether the 'new content' refers to things we don't already know about. The fact they've announced a mobile game rather than a cancellation seems like good news to me. Between Academy and a (most likely free to play) mobile game there's a chance they can reignite interest in the series, especially since people won't be expected to pay for a new game and a new set of toys for the N-th year in a row. Taking a year off will give them time to evaluate what went wrong with the last few games (and the Toys to Life genre as a whole, really) and correct their course before the ship crashes. A Switch port can also open up a new audience, especially given that day one adopters will need something to play. New Adventure Packs and Senseis releasing this year can appeal to them as well us those of us who already had the game, so they seem like a good investment for Acti.

Of course, there's also the possibility that they're sussing out whether they can monetize the franchise with low effort, low budget mobile games, and that all the new Adventure Packs were scrapped content from Skylanders 7 that they're trying to get some return on before the franchise leaves consoles. But I'd prefer to not think about that...

It will almost certainly be "locked to characters". It is a more efficient means of adding content than designing new plastic that is used once.

And we don't know whether this means new characters or they are just referring to Wildstorm and the discovered RO-BOW packs.

I'm actually good with this, Imaginators could use some level content beef up. They don't need to keep adding new figures now that we can make our own, and additional parts will be welcome.
Chompy-King257 Gold Sparx Gems: 2956
#1246 Posted: 23:05:13 09/02/2017
New characters and levels?

Could that mean...Luminous, our glamorous star, could finally come home?

OH MY GOD YES

This is actually better than getting a new game, in my opinion. It means I can take another year to enjoy the character creation gimmick and make more creations. Also, it could mean more adventure packs and new villain figures!

I'm making this promise now - if Luminous gets a figure, I will draw fan art of him being like Mettaton and post it. Zap will probably hold me to this.

Not exactly.
I do remind him saying this is an important occasion to support them and the franchise, but I don't believe they said this were their last chance.

It's entirely possible though, don't know how much he knows about what's going on at this point.
