Somehow I think that if I were a game developer I'd laugh if my boss didn't give me a desk and instead a laptop that will always be ****, less powerful and more expensive than a desktop computer... And then I'd probably leave to find another job. |

Not to mention that you need to put a laptop on a hard surface (ie table or DESK) to use it comfortably. IDK about you guys, but I think if I were to use it on my lap, I'd drop it.

Jeeze, guys, it's a comment about desks. Calm down. All the programers I know don't work at desks, they work at computer stations (full of art tablets, tvs, monitors, toys, reference books, and the occasional computer).

I'd much rather just place them on my shelf than pay more money for a tower or bag that would end up on my shelf anyway.
For one thing, the tower looks like somthing you'd find in one of those giant Hotwheels tracks. X3 |

Just something small, but I picked up the Tesco's Winter Catalouge and saw a whole section dedicated to Skylanders- about twice the size of the MLP and Puppy in my Pocket section, for comparison. It wasn't in the toy or video game part, but afterwards.
Also, Whirlwind is exclusive to Tesco. Something died inside me when I read that- I shop at Sainsbury's, and he was one of the characters I actually wanted.

Apparently just a renamed Stormee... But a bloke? My God, why can't there just be a consistancy with names between countries!

*Shrug* I have no idea. Hopefully it's just a mix-up over at Tesco's, but... Seeing as they're the only place you can buy that character from in the UK, my hopes aren't high!

They said the same information about Bash on that site, and the same is on Whirlwind's. Copy and paste, nothing to worry about. The gender is still possibly female.
But now we know that Stormee was Whirlwind's testing name.

But I'm still pretty clueless as to why they changed Stormee's name- probably copyright?

Some stores are always making little mistakes about upcoming games. Like on the pre-release display cases for Pokemon Black and White at Game, it said that the region is called Alleos when it's actually Unova.
I do hope that Stormee is her actual name because I don't really the name Whirlwind. |
Aura24 Platinum Sparx Gems: 6561 |
#1979 Posted: 19:07:25 31/08/2011
Who knows? The name Stormee was up when Skylanders made its debut at the Toy Fair, and Terrafin's original name, Fin, was also shown there. It's possible now that Stormee was the beta name for Whirlwind, but who knows?

I just saw the Skylanders page on this site and Stormee's name got changed to Whirlwind. I guess Whirlwind is her actual name then.

Ouch, that tower is expensive (looks like lots of plastic though). But that bag looks like it'd be a nice lunchbox, but maybe it'd be too big.

Why wasn't PC listed by the compatibility heading under features?

Because it's tesco... Edit: Not sure if this has been posted yet, but this appears to be a new commercial. I couldn't find one in English and I'm not sure what language it's in but you don't really need to understand what's being said Looks like the kind of thing we'd expect to see in Toys R Us and such. Also shows that Skylanders work in their packaging, so the connection between the toy and the portal doesn't have to be direct. |

The language they speak in the video is Polish, don't know if there'll be an english version.
Skylanders has been on the list of the upcoming GAMEfest 2011 (September16 - 18): http://www.videogamer.com/xbox...r_gamefest.html

A "try me" Skylanders demo? I'd like to play that. I wonder what store that was. But I'm just going to guess it was Toys R Us, as well.

Not necessarily. They could program Spyro into the demo. For the record I hope for character demos too.

I wonder if the toys or demo portal have a "try me" setting to prevent either toys from making progress before they're purchased, or sneaky people buying the toy and returning it after using it.
