^That's because of the perspective she's in. Her hands are big when she's looked at from a normal view.

Plus maybe it's her attack that makes her hands big like how most cartoon-y universes usually do.

I am sooooo getting drobot now!

I suppose a "Imma firing my laser" is in order for Drobot.

Here's an E3 2011 demo of Skylanders recorded by VentureBeat. They play through Perilious Pastures taking down enemies and searing Sheep, and there's a mention of a 'Fairy Ring'.

More awful fridge logic, Drobot is a cyborg as I clearly see organic bits and pieces.

A) Someone found dead corpse and put robot parts on it
Someone put dead flesh on a robot
C) He is a faking organic Terminator sent in time to kill John co-ur I mean Spyro....Yes that must be it

Activision teams up with Mumsnet to educate parents on Skylanders. The television ads will run until December, and it hints that there will be an ad for the 3DS version of Skylanders in cinemas during two blockbuster kid films.

I think Cyborgs are beautiful creatures, spawned from brilliance and a passion to help others through the use of some of the most sophisticated and benevolent technologies ever known. A cyborg, like a modern amputee or 'war amp' who has been reabled by prosthetics or orthotics, began as an injured, broken indevidual and through the genius, care, and dedication of a skilled prostheseologist (sp?) has been given the gift of a normal life.
*sigh* Yeah! :;D That's why I wanna make prosthetics for a living!

gooood! hom much additional crap do we NEEEEED???

New screenshots released from Amazon.com, including one of Drobot and Boomer:

You missed the Terrafin screenshot.



BestBuy seem to have an exclusive battle arena, Volcanic Vault, when you buy the console version of the game from them.

One, I discovered the screens from amazon. Didn't know Bestbuy had them as well. '

Terrafin's model looks kinda strange.

That GAME competition on Facebook that I mentioned the other day is now available. http://www.facebook.com/notes/...150407828841000

The answer to the question is CLEARLY Postman Pat.

lol they didn't have the pictures showing yesterday until now X3

Cool!

Aw..... the Facebook contest is only for people in the UK.

Is America getting alot of hate lately or something? Oh wait......... <<;

It's weird, because Activision and Toys for Bob are both US companies. I really wanted to enter, too.

If it's a UK event, then of course it'll be exclusive to the UK. The US got the competition to host a Skylanders party where you can win a copy of the game, 14 Skylanders for yourself and 14 Skylanders for each of the guests at your party... That's a better offer in my opinion.

^Where's this competition, may I ask?

What is with the US with their competition obsession? Seriously. <.<

It's being hosted by House Party.com. They're already posting contest entrees on Youtube.

^Wasn't that contest originally supposed to take place before the game came out?

Ah, just like America. We sure love to get into stupid contests because we are so competitive.

^No, we just want to play the game without having to buy it.

It's nice to finally see the UK getting some events for a change. All other times I've seen the US get loads of awesome stuff, and the UK left with nothing

But the House Party event seems pretty cool too.

The UK also had the Nickelodeon event in Liverpool and London so we weren't left out that much.

Yeah, that's what I mean - For me, it's the first time in ages we haven't been left out

Cool, thanks!

Where's the info on this House Party? What do you do to win?

Skylanders is now available to play for free at the Mall of America from 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. on October 1st, 8th, and 10th, and 11 a.m. - 7 p.m. on October 2nd and 9th:

http://mallofamerica.com/events/view/310

Where's Mall of America?

In Bloomington, Minnesota.

Crap nuggets. Why can't they have one for every state?!

^Because a mall the size of Mall of America is far too big for every state/city, and there's no room. Plus, what's the point when a fair amount of the stores found in the Mall of America can already be found in your state?

Unrelated note: Was in Toysrus today to get a 3DS (they were the only ones nearby that had a decent offer). Half of the employees were wearing Skylanders pins, some toys were already being shipped in, and the game section had a banner with Spyro on it. I forgot to take a picture, so if anyone else finds this in their local Toysrus, they can validate this for me.

^ I went to a Toys R Us the other day and saw the same Spyro poster, and they also had the Skylanders video stand, but no toys showing.

^I didn't see a video stand. Then again, I didn't go far in enough. The pick-up window was in front of the store.

I don't think any store in the UK has anything out for it yet, at least not where I am.

CAV, the pins the staff had - Can you remember if they were generic Skylanders pins or did they have individual characters on them? Just seeing if they're the same as the ones being handed out at the UK event.

^They were generic, circle pins, with the same standard characters found on the current box art.

I got 20$ bucks today.....Probably gonna blow it all on somthing Skylander's realted tomarrow.

^I'll be selling my DSi soon (have no use for it now). Odds are I'd be getting $58, and I'll put that towards Skylanders.................or Starfox...............I CAN'T DECIDE.

OMG YOUR RIGHT!
A HARD DESCION! ;^;
(Seriously though, I want Starfox 3D)

It would actually be cheaper to just buy a used N64 and a copy of Starfox for it. It's the same game, only with better resolution since it'll be on your tv.

Pretty much what Razz said. Why upgrade to the same product if you already have it lying around or can find it cheaper.

This is one of the many reasons I won't be getting a 3DS. If they ditch the gimicky 3D, make a bigger screen, and include backwards compatibility and another price drop, then maybe. Until then, my DS XL is just fine and I can play Starfox whenever on my N64 (and Ocarina of Time on N64 or GameCube).

Also focus on more IP's or original handheld only games instead of trying to make a dozen mario, zelda, and other games plus remakes to make up any losses, maybe they can gain attention instead of struggling. Their current franchises should take a small break and come out with a huge bang that even COD gamers will jawdrop and make a ton of great games today.
