Ah, ok. Wow, that's a lot of posts. You'd think it would never reach that. But thanks for letting me know.

Also, how is this made "Sticky" like the last one so other topics don't hide this?

wtflap? v2?

I have to ask Dark to stick it

I think where the Skylanders are listed you should have a "New Variants" under New Skylanders. That way you can add Punch Pop Fizz, L-Ignitor, L-Slam and the other 2 Legendaries on that listing.

I just want to say that my favorite non legendary repose is Stump Smash.

Quote: Aura24

Bio, you have to close the other topic.

Might as well, that topic won't get any updates on it anymore anyway. I've PMed Dark, so hopefully he'll stick it when he gets online

Trolled by kappapopm... what an honor!

lol

wait.....How was that trolling?

On topic: Ninjini(sp?) looks like she has green skin and red hair. I've looked at every source I could possibly find.

He/she does it to everyone... just a sarcastic comment. But honestly it was funny.

By the way you can see Ninjini's soul gem in the Koas' Castle Level Gameplay.

TEH NEW VERSION.

Again, Thumpback is changed in the new photo, you should change him in this topic also.

Can you add the videos for the skylanders that are new and old please?

Had a couple questions about Shroom Boom

#1: So the Shroom Boom Battle Pack is exclusive to Gamestop, but is it exclusively a pre-order bonus, or will you be able to buy it without pre-ordering?
#2: Does anybody know if this will be the only way you can get the non-lightcore Shroom Boom? Or will you be able to get him in a single pack down the road?
#3: When pre-ordering the Starter or Booster pack, is the shroom boom battle pack another thing you have to pay for, or is it a free pre-order bonus?

I want to get the non-lightcore Shroom Boom, so any info would be great. : )

1. I think it's exclusive to pre-order, so Gamestop is the only place you'll be able to pre-order it from.
2.. Normal Shroomboom was listed in a single pack on ToyWiz (and still is since the produces have been re-added) so I presume you'll be able to get him individually - just not S2 Chop Chop or S2 Zap.
3. It's a separate purchase.

Thanks! I guess I'll probably end up pre-ordering it so I can get Shroom Boom right from the start.

I hope we get confirmation of the whole wave one soon

i dont think its preorder only. i read somewhere that they have it as a exclusive to sell on shelves as well.

Aww

Thump backs catch phrase should be we gonna have a whale of a time

Fright riders should be the ride of your life!

From where we left off...

Eye Brawl's Catchphrase should be "Eye'm Watching You.." but that may cause nightmares.

And now the first topic will slowly sink down to the bottom...

EDIT: Lol! Dark deleted post #2499 because it was spam and now I'M #2499 No 2500th post!

As for the second... I hope we don't hit the limit by the time Giants comes out!

Man, things are moving along. In the last two days TONS of stuff has been revealed, and now another topic!

Skylanders Giants Information...

Allons-y!

Quote: zook it up

Aww

Thump backs catch phrase should be we gonna have a whale of a time

Fright riders should be the ride of your life!

I second those.
AND NOW IT'S STICKIED.

Now I have to beg my mom to pre-order this game and the GameStop Battle Pack. Also, I need 3 Adventure Packs to complete S:SA. I want Chill, Fright Rider, and S2 Trigger Happy so badly.

EDIT: Battle Pack pre-ordered. YES!

S2 Stump Smash looks....interesting... Am I seeing things or is his mouth gaping wide open?

You're not seeing things. It is.

While we're talking about reposes, does it look like to anyone else that Wrecking Ball has these huge fangs sticking out of his mouth? Or am I just seeing things from the glare of the picture or something?

Wrecking Ball looks thinner too.

does any one know the waves of giants ????

That part of the poster is so blurry, I can't tell.

No.

Well, Swarm waves from side to side and Bouncer waves at the wrist, like the Queen does. Does this help? ツ

Moonlitcynder Your a bit late with that

Everyone has seen it.

Alright well that was the first video I have seen of him. At least I didn't make a new topic about it

Yeah, guys. Don't gang up on MoonlitCynder like that. I think it's okay that she asked first.

Quote: Aura24

Wrecking Ball looks thinner too.

sorry if sounding like a smarty pants, but maybe he is just looking and turning in a way we can only see that thin bit of wrecking ball?
I may be completely wrong, so please don't take me wrong.

In the previous forum Aura and some others were saying kids would be scared of Swarm and Eye Brawl, someone said Eye Brawl's catchphrase should be eye for an eye and someone said that was to violent. I'm a kid and I disagree with you on all of those.

useless post that has old news and pics, don't bother.

^ Old news

thank you, I can now delete it

Bionicle can you please post the videos for the skylanders. And also I think the Thumpback's catchphrase should be "All hail the Whale!"

^ lol, I actually mentioned that in the catch phrase topic, great minds think alike! and it's a common phrase anyway, good idea

Quote: crystalhero37

^ lol, I actually mentioned that in the catch phrase topic, great minds think alike! and it's a common phrase anyway, good idea

Yeah your catchphrase is good
You liked my Hot Dog's catchphrase: "I'm Hot and you're cold!" and I also like yours
