Now that I know I don't have rehearsal the next day (totally calling in "sick". It's senior year, I should be allowed a day off right) I'm gonna go and make a more in-depth one like some others have

Saturday 10/15
1. Wake up
2. Eat breakfast
3. Spend the rest of the day on the computer trying to find gameplay (I don't want to spoil myself, but I have 0 self-restraint when it comes to spoilers so I just deal with it.)
4. Set my alarm for a nice and early 8:30

Sunday 10/16
1. Wake up nice and early
2. Eat breakfast
3. Take a nice warm shower to be ready for the day
4. Go back to sleep for a few more hours lol.
5. Wake up again
6. Go down the street to the mall and buy all of the other things I want.
7. On the way back, stop at Best Buy and buy the Starter Pack
8. Get home
9. Get my little sister to unbox the crystals while I unbox Senseis and the Starter Pack
10. Play for about 10 hours straight
11. Dinner
12. Another shower because I can
13. Play until about 4 in the morning
14. Wake up to go to school but fake being sick so I can get out of it
15. Continue playing while "coughing" every time someone comes in the room
16. Probably be finished with the story at least
17. Spend a whole hour or two only creating Imaginators. (If we really can reset classes now, make that 3 or 4 hours)
18. Homework
19. Shower
20. Sleep
21. School
22. Think about what I want to make
24. Learn to count
25. Ignore basically every other thing I do in life and only play Imaginators
26. By this time I hope to start either the Swap Force, Superchargers, or Trap Master run of the game

For day 1, I might just be getting Krankcase. I won't have the actual game until the 20th or so, but I want to make sure I get Spoder Dad before the kids come marching in, haha. However, if I have the money, I might get the Mysticat pack, Tae Kwon Crow, and a few crystals, and maybe Air Strike's pack.

Does it count if I'm just waiting for everything to be shipped and delivered?
Obviously Amazon is giving me the Crash Edition day one. But I still have to wait for all preorder data to come out.
All in all I'm getting ALL that I can day 1.

But as of current
- Crash Edition for PS4 from amazon.com
- Dark Edition for Xbox One from Gamestop.com
- 2 Kaos figures one to open and one to keep in box
- Villain pack Amazon.com
- Legendary Tri-Tip with Chopscotch (wanted free shipping and Chopscotch is the only sensei I'm in no rush to have available for preorder but because of slow shipping they will not be day 1)

I have no other preorders current to the game but everything is going to depends on what is being sold by retailers. Such as a Nitro figure from target. I will have to pick a figure to be shipped out with that Nitro character if I'm interested in getting the Nitro character.

- Ambush and Barbella from Amazon.com (I cannot wait for these two so they are day 1)
- ALL multi crystal Packs from amazon.com

but as I said ALL that will be released will be ordered from the retailers just will depend on shipping.

Day 1:

Me and my friend usually start by waiting outside our local Toys R Us 15 minutes before hand. I'll have photos of things that I need and that are out.

Then we head to Target right after since they are open at 8 as well.

Then on to Wal-Mart which is more or less a time eater and look and see what they may have.

Then we go onto another Target and another Wal-Mart.

By then it's close to 10 and we head to Best Buy.

Get some breakfast and head to Game Stop.

By 11:30 our adventure is over but we had a blast!!

Planning on getting the Crash Edition for PS4 and the Dark Edition for Xbox One. I'll probably buy a Sensei too, since my Gamestop is offering a discount on any figure for those who preorder. I'll also get Kaos free with one of the starter packs.

I haven't heard about the discount for figures when you preorder... what are the details?

I wish that TRU would announce whether they are doing the midnight openings this year. I am sure that they will but just need confirmation so that I can make my plans accordingly.

*IF Wave 2 is available*
Dark Edition Wii U
Kaos
Ambush
Ember
Starcast
Aurora
Amazon 5-Pack
Mysticat combo pack

Well whenever they announce the winners of the Middle School contest, I'll edit mine accordingly. Originally I hadn't planned on entering but I just got a jolt in inspiration right before the deadline for submissions.

If I at least win a Starter Pack I'll be in a much happier place and able to get at least the Wave 2 characters I want (Waves 2 and 3 have the most characters I want)

Chopscotch
Hood Sickle
Ambush
Starcast
Life Crystal
Magic Crystal
Undead Crystal
Light Crystal

In a sudden change of events, I'm getting the game on day one now!

I'm gonna get the normal starter pack and Ambush.

Well my original day 1 plans got canceled (since I canceled my pre-order) but then all this new info. dropped and I re-pre-ordered (lol). So here it goes:

PS4 Starter
Wolfgang
Crow
Tri-Tip or Hood
Air Crystal (or Life, Water and Air 3 pack if I can find it)

Does anyone know if TRU will have any cool crazy deals?

Unfortunately I've had several things unexpectedly come up, so I can't get everything I want day 1. So my new day 1 list is the following:
Ambush
Chopscotch
Barbella
Starcast
Mysticat
Aurora
Undead Crystal
1 mystery chest

I'll have to wait to pick up the starter pack and the GPO adventure pack. But those will always be available, unlike some figures potentially in the future.

If your going after the rares first you might want to add Hood Sickle to your list. Based on early case counts he seems to have the lowest quantity per case. He's the Wallop of Imaginators in that he'll be difficult to find.

I've spent a lot of my money along the way for other stuff because I decided both the dark starter, crash starter, and one cc or sensei will be enough for me on day one. I'm struggling between choosing a light cc or chop me in pieces hood sickle waifu,

Get the crystal man.

I won't be getting any villains, only 10 of the new characters for me. But thanks for the concern!

Waiting for my Amazon preorder of the game to arrive Sunday or Monday. Then I'm going to buy Aurora and Chopscotch online.

Everything is being delivered via mail for me. Except for adventure pack and crystal stuff, I should be good to go.

Hit TRU first, getting all the figures (except variants) and Gryphon Park AP
GameStop: pick up my DE and Crash starter packs
Might pick up light cc and the 2 triple packs

I pre ordered everything in Amazon.
Wii U Starter Pack
Villain 5 pack
Hero 8 pack

I've pre-ordered the PS3 starter pack and the first figure I'm gonna buy is Wolfgang because the first Imaginator I'm gonna make will be a bowslinger.

If I see the 3-Packs on day one:

Wii U Dark Starter
Kaos
Dr. Krankcase
Ambush
Magic/Tech/Undead 3-Pack
Life Crystal

NEW BUYING PLAN (also)


GameStop

-Dark Edition Xbox One Starter
-Kaos (FREE with Preorder)
-Ambush
-Magic Tech Undead CC 3-Pack*

TRU

-Starcast
-Mysticat OR Magic, Tech, and Undead Creation Crystals*

*Depends on CC 3-Pack availability

I already have Crash Edition preordered from amazon and the Dark Edition from Gamestop,

I preordered them both online so most likely have them on Monday. Sunday plan is to go to Gamestop and trade in a bunch of games and get all Wave 1, adventure pack, CC etc from there. Then i'll make my way to Toys R Us to get Wave 2 if they have them and L-Tri Tip and then whatever i dont have at that point just order online. Hopfully it'll just be variants

Watch YouTube videos and hear the soundtrack until I die.

I guess I should update as well. At this point, I have, guaranteed, cash already spent:

Dark Edition Starter Pack, preordered at GameStop, plus Kaos preorder bonus

Amazon's 5 Villain Pack preordered (due Monday, Oct 17)

Amazon's 8 Sensei Pack preordered (due Monday, Oct 17)

But additionally, I'm going to be picking up the following:

2x Magic/Tech/Undead Crystal 3-pack (asked to hold at GameStop) -- one for me, one for my roommate

Air/Life/Water Crystal 3-pack (asked to hold at GameStop)

Candy Coated Chopscotch (asked to hold at GameStop)

Gryphon Observatory Adventure Pack from Toys R Us

A free Light Creation Crystal from Toys R Us -- yay bonus!

Legendary Tri-Tip from Toys R Us

I might also pick up a few other single Creation Crystals from TRU to make use of their 3 for $25 sale, to pick up molds that I know won't be in the 8 pack.

... I'm also trying to make arrangements with the manager of GameStop to let me help set up their display on Saturday night so I can pick up my game at midnight instead of having to wait until 11AM.

my plans:

1. get the Dark edition for Wii U and Crash edition for PS4!

2. pick up Wolfgang, Ambush, and Chopscotch

3 get some extra creation crystals

4. (hopefully) get Ember and Aurora

5. onward, start collecting more Skylanders that comes out.

Going to check Walmart at Buena Park, CA, tomorrow. This past Saturday, they had signs for 10/11/2016 street date release. Saw some pics that had displayed the Treehouse AP. If they do, I'll pick it up and save Gryphon Park for TRU so I can get my free Crystal (Light) and if they've got the combo packs (Mysticat & Wolfgang)

Until I know what the sales are, I'm unsure what exactly is going to happen. For right now it looks like...

Go to TRU, grab one of everything along with pre-order....quickly. Then put back what I actually don't want after making sure I can get everything I want. If I can get dark crystals, then I'll go to GS afterwards and cancel my pre-order. If I can't get a dark crystal at TRU, I'll return my TRU pre-order to get the Dark at GS. This will also change if TRU gets a Dark Edition. I plan on going to Best Buy after TRU to see what I can get on Gamer's Club discount and possible return stuff to TRU.

My goal is VERY short this year, between underwhelming sensei's, financial burnout on figures I hardly play, and the disappointment that was SuperChargers, I'm currently only on tap for like 3-4 Sensei's - Starcast (def), Hoodsickle (def), Ember (maybe), Tae Kwon Krow (very likely)...I'm waiting on Pain-Yatta and Chompy-Mage, and that will most likely be it for me unless a ridiculous sale leads to me grabbing a couple others like Ambush. I'd much rather just buy up crystals, but I don't know what the sales are going to be like on them - are we going to get the "trap" like sale of buy one get one for $1? Or is it going to be a BOGO50 on Sunday? Once I know that I can figure out the crystal situation.

TRUs ad said 3 for $25 for the crystals and no sales listed for Senseis. I am sure the sale could change for Senseis but not confident about that one.
