oh crap you right

Not on our timezone, I think. The site says it opens in the 18th.

Quote:

Cologne, 17.-21.08.2016

for everyone: 18.-21.08.2016

Oh wait, it's the same difference as press/visitor days. We can still get something Wednesday.

Stupid question, but is Skylanders even going to be at Gamescom?

Yes, FGTV,Egowhity and Myskylanders confirmed that already. Not that you'd find out in the site, they just list Activision, that they'll show games, and that's it.

Yes!! I think that this will all be Wave One as well. If you look at Wave One from past games it totally makes sense.

If this is all Wave One then golly this will be the best one ever just because of who's in it.

Also, I think there'll be one more character, and that's the one in the Adventure Pack. If I'm right, the characters in packs are not normally released in singles in the same wave the pack is released.

TT kinda shook up the pattern, who knows.

But no description or pictures, we can't get much out of thks, not even classes.

I looked around in the code of the website and none of the picture links work. Probably because they don't exist yet, but I suppose some of them should (namely Ember, Ambush, Wolfgang, Tri Tip, and Chopscotch)

Hm... For some discussion during these next days.

What if, instead of the glorious return of PVP, we got a Battle Mode for Imaginators only? Would you be okay with it?
This idea popped up just now, and I wonder if they'd do that as a compromise for not enough time to balance.

I wouldn't mind it. I never really have anyone to play PvP with but the rare times I do I always have fun in the first 3 games

So basically like Battlebots? You create a creature and then put it against another creation. Sounds cool. I wouldn't mind it.

I would be totally okay with that! I just want other modes and I am willing to compromise and have it only be Imaginators.

Maybe it's a good idea.

I just can't believe that much on all Wave leaks because the listings just forget variants. I'm pretty sure Activision will release variants on Wave 1 and 2.

Well I tried messing with the images a little bit more and still nothing. Oh well, time to go back to waiting until Gamescom

I think that is the complete Wave One, and if it is, I'm happy.

Mysticat, Starcast, and Aurora ftw

That actually does sound like a decent idea, though I'd imagine some people would be a little disappointed that they couldn't use any Skylanders in the mode. I'd also imagine they'd have some complications making it online since, we all know there's going to be at least one person who's gonna name their Imaginator something inappropriate...

Can we get back to this is love to see these figures!!

Huge Wave 1 is good, less time for stores to lose interest.

I was thinking of stuff like Battlebots or SoulCalibur's character creator,yeah. The latter isn't exclusive, but online is almost entirely customs, because you can use a normal character's moveset with them as well as their own classes', so people obviously have fun(...inappropriate fun when hacks get involved to edit weapons into "toys" but I digress) with what they create over presets.

That said, Acti could probably just turn nicknames off during online, the Imaginators have default names like any Skylander.
I'd be fine with it. There's some good variety, 10 classes/Soul Gems x 2 primaries x 4 secondaries x 4 Secret Techniques is a good 280 combinations for people who play with on PVP to get experimenting with. Add online on top, and the longevity makes itself.

well i uncovered some stuff!

i ran the EANs (european barcodes) through google, and some of them turned no results (even though their pages ARE listed on a website)

the ones that DO show up are-

Ambush (EAN 5030917198526)
Aurora (EAN 5030917198533)
Barbella (EAN 5030917198557)
Chopscotch (EAN 5030917198670)
Ember (EAN 5030917198762)
Wolfgang (EAN 5030917198694)
Tae Kwon Crow (EAN 5030917198687)
Dr. Krankcase (EAN 5030917198601)
BOTH Creation Crystal 3 packs (EANS 5030917198250 and 5030917198267)
the adventure pack (still no dirt on that ) (EAN 5030917198366)
BOTH combo packs (mysticat/magic and wolfgang/undead) (EANs 5030917198403 and 5030917198410)
and the chest, which is called the "Mystery Chest" (EAN 5030917200700)
Air CC (5030917198694)
Life CC (5030917198502)
Light CC (5030917198175)
Magic CC (5030917198182)
Undead CC (5030917198205)
Water CC (5030917198212)


tri tip, hood sickle, starcast, and mysticat's single pack EANs had no results. same goes with the earth and tech CCs


i think that what in each wave can be found through this

if it's EAN shows up in a google search, it means it's wave 1
in it's EAN does not show up in a google search, it's not wave 1

but i think i cracked the case

NOOOOO. Not Mysticat and Starcast ;-;
WHY AURORA? HOW?

But at least Mysticat's double pack is there!

and wheres Tri-Tip? That doesn't make sense.

I'm trying to figure things out, does anyone know the prices (in US dollars) of everything? I know Creation Crystals are $10, I think Senseis are $15... Does anyone know how much the Combo Packs, Triple Packs, Adventure Packs, Treasure Chest, etc. will be?

Trying to figure out how much Day 1 will cost.

Ok but seriously is there any way to get the images?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Also has anyone tried finding images on the website lately??!!!?!?

Ok but seriously is there any way to get the images?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Unfortunately, we can't find a way to view them.

They could be placeholder URLs and they didn't upload anything because there aren't any renders yet. It'll probably show up everywhere at once, but just in case maybe keep an eye on these.

So not on the website either? If no one wants to check I could if given instructions

It's weird not seeing Tri Tip in wave 1 since he was at the reveal. That's a good wave 1 though. Still don't know who im.getting, but from thay list my favorites are Ambush and Ember.

OH CRAP YOU GUYS!

crash is getting a single pack on 11-30-16

AYYYYY!

Do I need the Crash Edition now... OH WELL.

Good catch Zap. Great news too. But expect him to be expensive. Like, $25,00.

Good to hear that Crash is confirmed to have a pack, but the 'ADV PK' letters make me think that he'll be in an adventure pack.

Anyways, on the note of variants, remember Superchargers? There was an INSANE amount of variants, which was part of the reason Thrillipede and other characters became so rare. Imagine if there were only around 5 or 6 variants, like SSA was (with the ingame ones). For one thing, it would save money for completionists, and it would also make sure that stores aren't getting unpopular recolors of characters (lookin' at you Eggsy).

Crash is a Adventure Pack himself.

Wowee wave one looks good

Guys, what if Tri-Tip isn't in Wave One because hes in the Adventure Pack? I really, really, really hope thats the case. I want a dinosaur time travel themed level.

Thanks to Ninja9351 for discovering this possibility.

Your calculation is a bit off, 10x2x4x4=320 ;3

Also, great news on the products front! Seeing as the panvision website is Nordic and there's an option to contact them and become a retailer, I really wish I could just set up an independent company, contact them about selling Skylanders figures, and be all set.

I would keep low stocks of early waves (since all other retailers got those covered), but stocking up on later waves, when other retailers have too much on their shelves they need to get rid of. However, it's just too much of a risk, and I wouldn't know the first thing about setting up a business anyway.

Gamescom is exactly two days away from now.
I still think Starcast, Tri-Tip & Mysticat could be in Wave 2 if not 1. At least I have Aurora & Ember ;-;
I have more and more hope that we'll get to see more than just the four characters that were leaked earlier and the packagings for all Wave 1 characters. (Starcast & Mysticat too pls)

Tri-Tip not being in wave one makes me suspicious, he was like one of the first characters shown to us.

Well, you can always blame some mistake in the system while there aren't tons of listings. When we get pictures and he still isn't there, we can worry.

I found a Wave 1 listing from another website
http://www.grooves-inc.de/adva...ers+imaginators

Adventure Pack 1
http://www.grooves-inc.de/mult...2097577812.html

Trip-Tip
http://www.grooves-inc.de/mult...2097577870.html

Mysticat Single Pack
http://www.grooves-inc.de/mult...2097577740.html

Mysticat Combo Pack
http://www.grooves-inc.de/mult...2097577967.html

I'm certain that Tri-Tip is Wave 1. Yeah, that one site didn't have him but the others do, so I'm sticking by that. I wish they specified what comes with Mysticat in the double and/or combo. I have a few ideas but I'm still unsure. I don't really plan on getting it since I'm not a fan of him, but it depends what he comes with. It's a shame that we don't know what the adventure pack is, at least give us the name. Oh well, I'm hyped because we could find out very soon. Heck, I'm still hyped to see the physical figures to the other characters we've seen.

Mysticat is listed as... "Suitable for 16 years or older"? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Either way these seem to be all in response to Gamescon. Every site is from Germany.

It also says it will come out on the 14th, soooo.

ALL the listed items are marked with that age rating. Even the Starter Packs, despite being PEGI 7.

And, not all, but most. There was that one Nordic website where we got the listing for a Crash Adventure Pack. It also said that the last update on the items was 16th June. So, they've had the information for a while now.

Also, I just thought how great it would be if Aku-Aku was available as a Magic Item in the Crash Edition and his Starter Pack. While they use his voice to speak for Crash, that doesn't exclude a physical appearance as a figure. But considering what we've heard so far, I doubt it'll happen.

As usual, I did see these sites getting listed, but Google's preview text would only mention the starter packs so I paid no mind(also the URLs looked pretty shady). Well, at least we didn't have the same issue as Kaos figure or the blog leak, there's still time to keep these bookmarked for when pictures appear.

It depends on the players, if someone wants to ruin a match he takes Bumble Blast. If you want to have fun you take characters that have balanced strengths and weaknesses.
