CAV Platinum Sparx Gems: 6289	#2 Posted: 13:48:19 06/07/2011 I'm pretty much getting the 3DS version if I have a 3DS by then (probably will). I much rather trust Vicarious Visions over Toys For Bob. Plus, Dark Spyro makes it all worth it.

sonicbrawler182 Platinum Sparx Gems: 7105	#3 Posted: 14:11:05 06/07/2011 I think they're going a bit far, especially with the Adventure Packs. --- *"My memories will be part of the sky."*

SequoiaDragon Emerald Sparx Gems: 3930	#5 Posted: 16:43:22 06/07/2011 So dark Spyro is the ONLY exclusive guy, right? The rest can be bought individually? Please say yes... --- My book Harahpin is now on sale!

Dark_Spyro999 Emerald Sparx Gems: 4713	#6 Posted: 19:25:45 06/07/2011 Whoa! Dark Spyro! I think the individual collecting of the figures is stupid and they're probably gonna cost and arm and a leg to collect all of them....curse them. --- I is ded

It's much cheaper to buy the figures in packs of 3 than it is individually so I don't see why anyone would bother. Unless some figures aren't included in any of the packs of 3 and can only be bought on their own then there's no other reason to buy them. There's no point in me buying, for example, Flameslinger on his own when I could get Flamslinger, Stump Smash and Drobot for cheaper than buying each individually.

Activision, you defy logic.

CAV Platinum Sparx Gems: 6289	#8 Posted: 19:49:44 06/07/2011 Activision always defied logic. "Let's only allow 2 zombie maps on Black Ops, and make people pay for DLC to get more. It's a brilliant idea."

That's how multipacks work. They make more per character from the individuals but sell more overall with the larger packs.

From the consumer point of view you spend less if you just want one specific character or you save money if you want all three. It's a perfectly normal marketing strategy.

I know, I understand that. But we're talking about Activision here. Activision who will penny and dime the **** out of people if they can. Any other business and I'd understand.

Maybe they're finally learning something?

Just like how at E3 they didn't make it all about MW3. They also gave equal showing of Skylanders and Prototype 2.

Sparky5 Blue Sparx Gems: 809	#22 Posted: 18:30:36 08/07/2011 I'm calling Dark Spyro, Cynder. 'Cuz the different colour thing makes it look a bit like her. And did YOU call him Dark Spyro? If I wanted this game, I'd get Dark Spyro because he looks cooler that way

Ice Dragoness Diamond Sparx Gems: 7896	#23 Posted: 21:15:49 08/07/2011 I cant get Dark Spyro I am not allowed a 3DS And im so renaming Sonic Boom to Gilda or Sonic RainBoom

SuperSpyroFan Diamond Sparx Gems: 9403	#24 Posted: 21:19:26 08/07/2011 Dark Spyro in Skylanders looks nothing like Cynder at all.

Fireball Emerald Sparx Gems: 3163	#25 Posted: 21:27:07 08/07/2011 Cynder has eight horns, Spyro has two. Cynder has a violet-maroon underbelly, Spyro has a golden one. --- OblivionSkull21, up and coming indie developer

Yes, I know, I think it's weird how you can think that the Skylanders dark Spyro looks like Cynder just by a shading of colour, lol. It's like me saying "Oh I'll paint myself purple, and from doing that I'll look like Spyro, I'll look just like him"

StevemacQ Platinum Sparx Gems: 6533	#28 Posted: 00:09:00 09/07/2011 Why couldn't they the more familiar characters like Hunter, Bianca, Sheila, Sgt. Byrd, Bently and Agent 9? --- Needz more eh-mo-shuns.

Didn't we go over this already? This is a spinoff game. In spinoff games, it's common for only the main character to be in the game. It could also be considered a reboot, which also often leaves only the main character in the game.

I actually want to rename both Spyro and Dark Spyro... Am I horrible?

No not really, but I'm just asking, why would you want to rename the normal Spyro as Dark Spyro, doesn't make much sense when one already has that name.
