Nothing. I'm getting Skylanders 5 no matter what they do with it.

Agreed!

1. If theres a million things to buy
2. no backwards compatibility

^This is probably how I REALLY feel, but the short change in TT has left me a bit bitter. To your point the franchise needs some "fresh" and changing core game mechanics (story mode, online) will go a long way in keeping us locked in. I'll probably at least get the starter pack of all efforts, but everything else is contingent on how they push the game further along.

I would have said nothing came to mind but right off the bat I saw Derks mention if old skylanders weren't compatible... Yeah if old skylanders weren't compatible then there would be no chance i'd consider getting skylanders 5.

I have stayed true to my word and not purchased any trap team stuff because my old core-landers cannot open elemental gates, cannot battle in PVP, cannot do heroics, don't have a cap increase to attain, or quests.

I will continue my boycott with skylanders 5 if I don't get some content for my existing collection.

I would have sold it off and been done with skylanders altogether, except buyers expect you to take a bath on the deal.

My kids saying they aren't interested in new game would make me NOT buy Skylanders 5. As it stands now, I will be buying it. Although, with each new game, there are items I will not buy. Generally, I don't purchase reposes or lightcores. Exceptions occur when repose is included with other figure or lightcore has additional aspect, like Legendary Lightcore Chill. LLC falls under the variant banner and those I do purchase.

I might not get it if they get rid of Skystones and don't support traps or increase the maximum level, but I definitely won't get it if old figures don't work in the game.
