also just a thought. will the new game have the soul gems and will new levels have the old characters' ones?
The new game is said to support the old Skylanders. I however dont see it catering specifically to them either. I could very likely see the Giants game only providing Soul Gems for the new Skylanders and the Giants themselves, forcing you to go back and buy the older game if you fully wanted to be able to upgrade all your characters. That or perhaps we might actually have a "store" option this time that allows us to buy items instead so we actually have a use for all that excess gold in the first game. A store would allow them to allow old items back if you didnt have the first game as well as new things. It would also allow Activision a easier way to tack on DLC after the fact if they wanted to provide more accessories later down the line.
