Here is a list of Imaginators figures that have yet to be released to the public:

Senseis:
(Standard edition; was only available through Amazon exclusive 5-pack w/ wave 1-2 villain Sensei)
Heartbreaker (Cancelled Valentine's Day variant; removed from official Skylanders Website)

Creation Crystals:
Magic Claw (Was released in Europe exclusive 8-pack of creation crystals)
Fire Angel
Air Acorn
Earth Rune
Light Angel
Tech Pyramid

I managed to purchase off eBay for a scalped price. As time went on, people started placing prices for more than $100. All this for a $15 toy. Activision doesn't seem to have plans to release standard in the meantime. As for the creation crystals, I've contacted Activision complaining about the abysmal loading times for the Switch port of Imaginators. As a result, they requested to send me up to 5 toys through mail as an apology for my inconvenience. Once I found out I could order creation crystals, I told them I would like the five unreleased ones mentioned above. I also had a backup plan involving the Magic Claw. They did say I could order the magic claw, so I did. In the meantime, feel free to express your thoughts about these unreleased toys.

*Activision becomes suspicious when they're FLOODED with complaints of abysmal Switch load times*

-FURIOUSLY MAILS ACTIVISION ABOUT HOW SWITCH LOAD TIMES RUINED MY LIFE, BURNED MY CROPS, AND PLAGUED MY VILLAGES-

Pink Satan.

Did you wrote them on support or a other way ?
Cause i want to complain to !!!!!!!

i wanna get in on this too, gimme the links

You really should have demanded Heartbreaker Buckshot. How can I contact them to voice my anger at canceling it?

I expressed my Switch version's loading problems through the phone.

I really like Heartbreaker Buckshot, but maybe their saving him for next year.

I have the Magic Claw because I caved and eventually bought the 8-pack off of ebay for a really good price.

Like I already said in the General Discussion topic, I sincerely hope the remaining Crystals will be released in a potentian second year of Imaginators, maybe along Heartbreaker Buckshot and Chompy Mage.
The former is an odd case, since he got removed from the site and they techically released the character itself in his regular form but I definitely think the latter will have a better release.

I originally thought he might have been included in the rumored Q4 Adventure Pack, but I don't think it would be much likely if new characters are truly on the way.
I know, I know, way too many "if".

Don't crush my dreams you meanie Heartbreaker's still a thing >:(

okay but can we get a petition to release heartbreaker

Quote: Drawdler

How the hell do you contact them in Australia?! I called 1300-748-995 (number from the Wii U pamphlet) and it just "cannot be connected" and I haven't found a number on their Australian site. If anyone in America can call and hook me up with these, and ask about Heartbreaker too (like seriously why didn't you guys ask about that), I might have one set of Yawns lying around... Maybe, I really didn't want to give them or trade them for anything, but this is an exception with good reason. I'm already missing a few expensive figures from this game, I don't want a really incomplete SI collection... I'm still trying to get through to the American Skylanders support but no success yet (and it seems like they'd be closed right now, just trying to see if I can connect).

what's the USA number? i can call and ask

In the US, the number to contact the Skylanders-themed services from Activision is 844-HELPEON (844-435-7366). You should be greeted by from the Academy as soon as they answer.


But I will warn all of you, they will repeatedly say they do not have information to certain toy release dates or cancellations, as they mostly tackle Technical Support. The only reason I'll be receiving the Magic Claw creation crystal through them is because I filed a complaint about the loading times on the Switch version of Imaginators. Anyway, good luck.

I just want to say my opinion on the game and all that stuff. I dont want some gifts, but it would be nice since so many things wernt available in Austria/Germany. Like tooooo many things.

Edit: WTF I cant even contact them !?

I'm not heartbroken about heartbreaker buckshot cause I considered Buckshot to be the most disappointing imaginator this year. But I did want him just so i could level up my imaginators to 60 but currently they will be left at 59 unless i want to buy a chase.

i'm heartbroken over all the crystals we clearly will not get.

I don't have any current plans to buy any more variants. Some, such as and , I have trouble finding in my State. Never have I ran into these two at their respective stores. As for the Dark Edition variants of , , and , I find said pack too expensive, and I already own the game on Xbox One and "load screen after unskippable level opening pre-rendered cutscene" Nintendo Switch. However, I do own , , and . I ended up buying the standard from eBay for a price of $27.88 $2.60 for shipping. I ordered back on October 26th, when prices for figures weren't at $180+. At the time I bought that figure, my Xbox One's disk drive broke, and I had to order a new one. As soon as it was fixed, I immediately played Imaginators and placed my new toys into the game. Currently, that replacement also stopped working, and I purchased a Slim. I will someday post a picture of said figure to Instagram. As for the other holiday variants, I don't see any plans to buy them either. If anything Skylanders-related DOES happen next year, It's a hit or miss chance we may see Heartbreaker .

I may have said this before but I think Activision knew that they were going to do two years of Imaginators way before we all really knew.

Maybe we'll see a game guide from Skylanders Imaginators 1.0 and 2.0

Maybe Heartbreaker Buckshot is a 2.0 Imaginators!?!?

Can't wait to see what we find out!?!?

Absolutely agree, I think it basically went like this:

• 2015/2016: Activision has TfB working on Imaginators and V.V. developing N-Sane Trilogy.
  
• 2016: Imaginators gets announced and released and N-Sane Trilogy gets revealed; that's when we know V.V. won't work on the seventh game, because they are also developing Destiny 2.
  
• 2016/2017: it becomes clear that 2017 won't see a new Skylanders game, and that's because TfB is still working on Imaginators' content to release through the year.
  
• 2017: TfB will finish with Imaginators and begin working on either the seventh game or maybe other projects, like a Spyro Trilogy remake, depending on what V.V. will do after releasing Destiny 2.

I also think that's why Imaginators has the lowest number of Story levels in any game of the series: they knew a lot would be added after the release.
Just my two cents, though, nothing to support that except from a couple hints and lots of speculation.

One question about Heartbreaker Buckshot: I know he got cancelled from the site, but did he ever get even just a placeholder release date?
If not, then a year two release might truly be the reason.

If nothing else, I vehemently believe that the content that became CTT and LIM was definitely planned before the release of Imaginators.

And for the most part, your timeline seems like it's likely to be pretty accurate... EXCEPT that TfB would already be working on Skylanders 7 if they intend to do a 2017 release. It's not like the whole studio works on every part of every game, y'know. It makes more sense that they would have a small team finishing additional content for Imaginators 2.0 at the very same time the main forces are doing the groundwork to get the engine running and beginning the content development for Sky7.

Just play LIM and you will see whats coming? Bloobers tells you what is going down.

No? Blobbers only mentions

You are absolutely right, I wrote this last night and wasn't 100% awake.
Apparently though at least a part of TfB is working on an unknown project, which might or might not be Skylanders, and if it's not then I'd assume V.V. will return to the series.

Update: I just received my package from Activision. They gave me a Magic Lantern creation crystal instead of the Claw sculpt I asked for. With me owning 's pack, I have 3 of that same sculpt and element. There's only one more thing for me to do in order to get that certain crystal;

You said before that you had asked for the unreleased molds. Did they say anything about them?

I recently recieved the Magic Claw creation crystal I ordered from Activision, but they gave me a Lantern instead. Since I am one of the people to own the LiM pack, I have 3 (4 if you count legendary) of these magic lanterns.

Sorry, no words on any releases so far. I'm not gonna bother Activision until further notice, but I am wondering when they'll place the pack and into the states.

Man, they must really wanna get rid of all those wave 1 molds still collecting dust.

They need to get on with a clearance sale.

I'm not sure if it's worth noting, but today I went to Walmart looking at the Skylanders and I found a Fire Crystal. It wasn't the soccer ball shape. But don't get your hopes up, it was the Fire Crystal you get in the starter pack! I was thinking "Seriously? Why would they do a separate release on the crystal you already get with the game?" Anyways, I bring this up wondering if anybody else found this. If not, then maybe there's a possibility there still may be new releases on the way.

Apparently, those were made to go with the Walmart Portal Owner's Packs. Maybe they had some extras lying around.

How long has it been since the release of the LiM in the UK? Also, figures on eBay are showing up for $85. I bought mine back in October, and hopefully the eBay prices will become lower in the meantime.

Pink Satan and Chompy mage kind of

I'm gettin' kinda worried about LiM in the USA.... Hope we don't get disappointed by Acti.

It's long since time to start getting worried. It's "Import before those dry up and you can't get it at all" time. If you collect or really want it, definitely look into importing.

^This, I'd import if you can afford it, not worth the risk of it not coming out States' side.

The prices for LiM packs on eBay currently range from $46-49, which includes a varying ship price. Here is a link to the results after typing in "lost imaginite mines"

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.htm...+mines&_sacat=0

I ordered my pack on May 22nd for $53.22 and a shipping price of $7.79. The item was delievered on June 1st. Feels like I've owned it for a long time.

Anyone in the community have any verifiable information about Lost Imaginite Mines in the USA? Is it going to be released? Is it not going to be released?

No. Sadly we know nothing. Many are thinking that if it hasn't been released by now, it never will.

There is small hope that it will be released in quarter four, which is October to December, as someone from (acti ?) said.

Ugh. While I am not exactly surprised, that is really sad. Is there no way to contact Activision and ask someone directly about this?

I think people called them, a lot, especially because of the unreleased crystals. You can try to call Support and get one for yourself if they have any, but a full release is either Q4(according to that weird shareholder report) or never.

I am going with never!

Ro-Bow just came in from UK friends, thanks mates! Proper!

Thanks for the responses, all.
This is really a new low for Activision, if they just flat out fail to release Lost Imaginite Mines in North America altogether.
Failing to release a few traps or even Thrillipede is pretty awful, but failing to release an entire planned expansion pack to the game? Gross.
