So Crypt Crusher and Fiesta are gonna end up being the hard to get ones I see. That sucks.

Quote: Matteomax

Two Fiesta and two Crypt Crusher per box? Oh boy, we have the next Wallop already.

At least the second Wave has better variety.


And at least it isn't nearly as confusing as the first and second Wave of Traps released on the same date for Trap Team. That was absolutely ridiculous, to be honest.

Quote: Deja Vu

I plan to buy Fiesta on day 1 and here they usually have everyone on day 1. I was dumb enough to not buy Wallop when I had the chance and now I still don't have him and most likely never will. (I don't like him at all, so it's no big deal for me)

CALM. DOWN.

2 per box does not mean 2 per store. stores get MULTIPLE boxes of each wave, especially toys r us! SO CALM DOWN!

Does this mean Wave 2 isn't coming on day 1?

Quote: dark52

6x Terrafin+Shark Tank+Jet Stream

Why are these three rereleasing in wave 2 after you can get both sets in wave 1? Seems strange....

Quote: Crash10

Who knows...

About the Elemental vehicles, we have a chance of having elemental gates during vehicle sections. Just a prediction.

Elemental vehicles - a vehicle of the ---- element is stronger in this zone

In interviews it was said elemental vehicle stuff would only come in play in the Academy areas,but who knows.

Zap, that's obvious. It just means that Fiesta and Crypt Crusher will eventually become harder to find than the other Wave 1 figures.

Here are them assortments that some of you seem to find useful:

Wave 1
4x Dive Clops
4x Stormblade
2x Terrafin
2x Fiesta

4x Dive Bomber
3x Sky Slicer
3x Sea Shadow
2x Crypt Crusher

3x Terrafin+Shark Tank
3x Jet-Vac + Jet Stream

6x Sea Racing Pack

Wave 2
4x Smash Hit
4x Nightfall
4x High Volt

4x Burn Cycle
2x Shark Tank
2x Jet Stream
4x Stealth Stinger

6x Terrafin+Shark Tank+Jet Stream

Over exposure of Terrafin...again. I would've knocked him out of the singles and simply forced people to get him in the 2 pack. 4x Fiesta would make MUCH MORE sense here.

What if part of the deal with GameStop was that they would short stock Fiesta in Wave 1 and then they plan on adding Fiesta and Crypt Crusher in a later wave?

No, They are confirmed to come in wave 1. I'm sure they will be there.

Myskylanders.de confirmed that there are vehicle elemental zones a while ago but only in the hub.

The website should update any day now (as many have said before me...). It's been a relatively slow news week as usual (save for the shipment quantities from today) but PAX Prime is coming in a few days, so I think we'll definitely be hearing things soon, especially about the 3DS/Wii versions. Do we usually get news during PAX Prime?

I'm not quite sure I remember getting any news during PAX, but any gameplay is fine in my book ()

About the website though, I dont really know (No one does for that fact) I was hoping it would update before September, and I still do, but I'm not as certain as I was say, last week

We did get some gameplay at PAX last years but nothing too exciting.
There were some events regarding kids and they could also try the game with 4 or 5 figures.

Regarding elemental stuff for vehicles that's what I was talking about.
Good things: elemental areas which encourages you to choose a certain vehicle over another (talking about regular levels too);
Bad things: Elemental Gates which can only be accessed by a vehicle and will force you to buy at least a vehicle per Element.

I'm not sure which ones will be features in the game but I have the feeling one of those two will appear.

I already said this, but it'd be pretty lazy not to put an explanation for Kaos escaping as at least an offhand comment ingame. Leave indepth explanation to the comics if SC's story is so grand that has to get relegated, but don't completely handwave it ingame. They said they wanna make the stories for future entries more connected but if they can't even make room to explain Kaos (or the other villains) escaping, I won't have much faith in that

Dude, if they COULDN'T explain the entire plot without having it ALL in one place, THAT would demonstrate lack of ablility to connect them
That's why explaining part of the story in SIDE content is REASSURANCE, not INCOMPENTENCE.

But such a major event should get mentioned. And for those of us who don't read the comics and just play the games, if it doesn't get explained, it's going to leave a feeling of a gap in the continutity.

Which the comics were created to FIX. That, and make more money.

Quote: Arc of Archives

Besides, not everyone reads the comics (looking it up online isn't a good excuse to just ignore something like that, the main games should have some feel of continuity and lore without extra material and you could just as easily run into spoilers you didn't want).

THERE IT IS. THERE is the REAL issue you have with the idea.

You know what? I wasn't going to reply to your post until I saw this. This just seems rude to me like you're saying my other points have no standing. Sorry if that's not what you meant, but that's what I'm getting.

It wasn't meant like that, but it's true. They don't.

Following BASIC logic, if I do something, it proves that I CAN do it.
Following BACKWARDS logic (YOUR logic), if I do something, it proves that I CAN'T.

See where I'm going with this?

Doing something does NOT demonstrate the INCAPABILITY of doing something, it demonstrates the CAPABILITY of it.
They link together the plot of the games to the comics, that demonstrates that they can link together the plot of two different stories.
Whether you're happy about the execution of it DOESN'T matter.
Therefore, those other points don't matter, because they are INVALID ones.
If it makes you lose confidence, it doesn't matter to me, it's not like logic dictates emotions anyway, but you ought to AT LEAST know that it SHOULDN'T.

Quote: broken link

Also, off topic, but I don't understand how the comics are supposed to take place between games when Skylanders freely wander during them even though they're meant to be frozen.

I mean, I have tons more problems with the lore (I honestly want a soft reboot so it can be redone, know it can't be perfect, it just feels broken at this point) but it'd be rambling. :v

Partly, it's because the oldlanders were UNFROZEN, and canonically speaking STAYED that way (at least, some promotional material for giants and trap team suggests that), and partly because Trap Masters weren't banished to earth until Cloudcracker exploded, unlike previous gimmicklanders who were banished for hundred(s) of years, justifying the prequel issues to Trap Team having Trap Masters, I'm not entirely sure when the superchargers were banished or even how, but maybe something to do with the doomstation, and rifts. (for that matter, non-gimmick newlanders have never been explained... either its like the giants and we "Didn't find them until now", or... or... actually, that's the only reason i can think of.)

I'm not going to go on much because I'm tired of thinking about the lore, I wish they had just kept it simpler and made the supplimentaries prequels, but if the old Skylanders are unfrozen how come they're still toys in real life and still work the exact way they did when they were frozen? If we assume they can just switch between those states, why are they suddenly able to do that and how do they get back to Skylands? Assuming they switch states and they use the Portal on their own (which is the simplest explanation I can think of), why don't they just stay in Skylands and fight all the time instead of just when you feel like playing the game or when you're not looking and they can use the Portal? That'd give villains tons of oppurtunities to attack. They didn't explain how the Minis were frozen either, so I doubt they'll explain why Superchargers and their vehicles were, and there still isn't any explanation for Trophies' ties with villains yet.

I know some people are fine with handwaving this stuff because they enjoy the supplimentaries, kudos to you, but it's because of this messy lore (and lack of physical copy availability) that I can't enjoy them at all. I know the games have a lot of mistakes with this too (even SA had some, wtf starter trio in the last cutscene out of nowhere) but that's not really what I wanted to discuss.

What drek said.
In Skylanders Universe, we had Barracks for them to rest in while we weren't using them.
In all likelihood, their soul is tied to the figure, when we bring them in, they STAY in, they just go back to their normal lives until, as a portal master, we SUMMON them for more urgent matters, like the plot of a game.
It would explain how the portal locking down would work in online play too. The portal "breaks down", and can't dismiss them from duty, so removing the figure won't do anything.

If they were still in the figure, that wouldn't be possible (it would've worked better as an explanation if that was how Heroics and Arena Battles had always worked, but eh...)

I agree with you on them separating the Skylanders and vehicles being stupid, Drek, but I also totally know why they did it. For the ka-ching.

Don't get it.

They would have gained more money sooner if Nightfall and Sea Shadow were in the same Wave.
It's simply a nonsensical decision just like creating Dark Super Shot Stealth Elf instead of Dark Nightfall for one of the Dark Starter Packs or the idea itself to put the regular version of our beloved forest elf inside each normal Starter Pack instead of a new Skylander.

If she really was a fan favorite she would have sold a lot even as a simple Single Pack, don't you think?

Yes, but TFB has ALREADY done this with Cynder back in Giants. People were BEGGING for Cynder, Scalpers were selling her S1 for $35+.
They KNEW she was a fan-favorite. They KNEW she would sell. They KNEW there were people willing to pay TRIPLE the Retail price of a figure for her, but they packed her S2 in Giants anyway, seemingly out of the goodness of their hearts. (probably to "coerce" people NOT to buy a POP, but STILL.)

This is why you use tags guys. Even a funny wording will get the idea together in someone's head. But don't say I didn't warn about that in the PSA.

No news no update,but I found this size comparison from the HDRoom that I missed months ago. Wow, Spitfire is small.

And TfB changed it back to two new characters in Trap Team while also reducing the total number of reposes.
V.V. always put the same character in the Starter Pack along with the new ones.
Getting old FAST.

Anyway let's just forget that spoiler thing as soon as possible.
We already knew it would have been part of this game and would have played a major role.

I will just assume you thought I didn't knew it yet.

Reading is fundamental. I'm talking about Terrafin overexposure. He was available in Swap Force in three different forms, and it looks like they're doing it again this game. Given the choice of the xth version of Terrafin or a new character, I would've packed shipped this differently. Everyone is so worried about everyone's feelings. We have psychologists for that, but thanks.

The image is broken. What was Spitfire being compared to?

Jeez... Knight Light is really tall..

Barkley is taller the the Hot Streak though

Though what's weird is that Spitfire is smaller than Stormblade and SE. Without the engines, he'd be about the size of S1 Flashwing. Not too surprised about Stealth Elf since she's usually crouching or in some other position that warps her actual size, she's pretty tall when standing straight up.

A fewe questions, sorry if answered already, but this thread is simply too large to back track through...

Is there anything resembling a Kaos mode? Or is it just 'story' and racing? I 'still' do Kaos mode...

Has there been any confirmation on Wave 2 dates? As it stands Wave 1 for me is just Fiesta...'maybe' just 'maybe' Shark-fin or Gill Grunt...Wave 2 is where the fun looks to be had (sorry they maybe redone, but reposes are still reposes to me)...

Has anyone seen any sales popping up yet?

Where are people planning on buying the game from? I went to TRU, they usually have the best launch deal, especially with TRU CC, and they were ONLY getting the base game an the 'Wii' Dark Starter Pack. If I want the Wii U starter pack I actually have to go elsewhere. I'm tempted to do it via Amazon, but didn't know if anyone else had this issue. I wanted to get a Dark Wii, Dark Wii U and possibly a regular Wii U...if sales are good enough I'll entertain the 3DS version and then either PS3 or XBOne depending on what console my son's cousin has so they can play together. We have (2) Wii Us so I want two copies to play together...and well I want Bowser...and DK...heh.
- Unreall

1. Nothing resembling something of the sort that we know,but they also didn't show even half of the features in the Academy and it could always show up in some way. Someone talked of an arena something showing up on a menu though.
2.Wave 2 dates are still unclear. Everyone's hoping for day 2 stuff but I don't think anyone got exact info.
3.Toys and Merch got you covered.

I'm buying from the eShop. I'd have to import from ebay if I wanted to waste all my savings again after all.

Wave 2 should be available day 1

Also wow, I almost ignored this entirely.

Superchargers Racing for the 3DS will be playable at PAX Prime this weekend! We might not get anything new, but for those who'll want to buy it,there might be some nice levels to look at. Hopefully GameXplain will get better gameplay of this since they're more familiar with racing than hack-and-slash.

If Wave 2 DOES come on Day 1, Nightfall and Smash Hit are MINE!

My dad's favorite is High Volt so I'll get him too

It's about time! Last year we got to see Blastermind along with the 3DS version, so perhaps they'll have some new Skylanders like Splat showing up soon?

Is there a true complete list showing waves 1 & 2, all variants (Nitro, etc) and store exclusives for opening day somewhere? I have been looking for this and just have not been able to piece it together (or feel like I have a 100% complete list yet)

Anyone?

Thanks

-vm

I would really love to see more of Splat (not as pure racing gameplay though, thanks).
I still don't understand how she is on the the Starter Pack's art and yet hasn't been promoted as much as Stormblade or Spitfire.
Might as well have put Dive Bomber and Dive-Clops instead of her.

We even saw more of Double Dare Trigger Happy and that's saying a lot.

A few things.
1. I was actually directing the comment at YOU, not what you said
2. I DID read your post, I LOVE to read, and I got over 100 out of 120 points on my Community College Assessment Exam's Reading Comprehension portion, which is good enough to skip the beginner courses. I could probably take Honor courses. I got agro on someone for skimming, finding something to comment on, and not reading it throroughly before chiming in earlier in this thread.
3. The comment was a joke, don't take it seriously. Didn't you SEE the trollface emote? Were you even LOOKING?

You mean because he's as underexposed gameplay wise as the rest of the non-Nintendo cast, and far more.. promotionally challenged, because we don't know what his figure looks like OR what his vehicle is called? And because his vehicle has only been seen in the background of another gameplay video?
And for THAT matter, your complaint ALSO applies to Double Dare Trigger Happy, since he's ALSO on the starter pack's art.
If that IS saying a lot, it SHOULDN'T be (from a promotional standpoint, not a personal opinion standpoint), don't you think?

We saw Double Dare Trigger Happy model in-game.
We didn't see Splat's.

That's exactly why I mentioned him because he's one of the characters on the Starter Pack's art.

Terrafin, Stealth Elf, Spitfire and Stormblade have been promoted a lot compared to Splat and DD Trigger Happy.
But 3 out of those 6 Skylanders have already been shown and pushed a lot and guess who I'm talking about?

Let's say she's one of the less promoted "officially" revealed new characters along with Nightfall I'd say and we are all really curious to know more about her powers and abilities.
Better?

Umm, since we know NOTHING about Superchargers Racing... I don't see how it is POSSIBLE to NOT get anything new without them not talking about it AND not showing it AT ALL. Since we know that they're showing it, we know that they'll let people play it, we'll HAVE to learn something new about a game shrouded in COMPLETE mystery.

Speaking of which, who's hoping Brock will do the arena's, assuming there are any. Because i'll take ANYTHING over that idiot Snagglescale who won't shut up about KNOWING WHEN TO SHUT UP.
I do prefer SWAP Force's version of the arena, don't get me wrong, but I DON'T prefer SWAP Force Arena's MASTER OF CEREMONIES.
One thing that would be hilarious is Tuk's Emporium and Auric's shop of Curiosities, etc, etc, undercutting eachother.
And maybe Snagglescale and Brock co-anchoring Arena battles.
And Gorm and Persephone arguing over whether Might or Magic is the best way to get stronger.
and Hugo and Rufus arguing over who's the most help to the skylanders.
And Cali and Tessa arguing over who is more annoyed by Flynn's antics.
They should do a special episode type bonus chapter called.
Skylanders VS: Toys For Bob VS Vicarious Visions
I got the idea for the name from Yu-Gi-Oh VS GX, a scrapped movie idea by Kazuki Takahashi

I wish you would know when to shut up Juarmo.

Speaking of the 3DS version, I wonder how it's going to handle your Skylander collection, and if there's even a point to using different Skylanders with all the vehicles. I hope we at least get to see an actual hub. Heck, there might even be a story mode, like Diddy Kong Racing now that I think of it.

I'm curious as well. Since she's a Magic Skylander, i'll HAVE to get her to power up my army, with Eon's Elite at it's head.

Which reminds me, I need to update my sig.
There's 2 new magic skylanders in town, and I OWN one more of them.

Nooo fighting,but really juarmo, no need to nitpick everything we're saying. It's derailing the topic even if it sorta is about the things we've found.

On that note,any of the youtubers in here are going to PAX Prime? We only need to see a quadruped Skylander driving since we've seen a Giant and Minis already,so if someone remembers that'd be nice.

I'd also like to have someone ask them what happens when you put a reimagined Skylander on the portal with an older game.
