I wonder how they will do the starter pack???
If the current portal works with this new game, many of us will not need another portal, right?

Maybe the game will be cheaper and just be sold separate?

Then again maybe they will throw in the Tree-Rex Giant and charge $69.99 or more?

There might be many versions of the starter pack???

Reimu Yellow Sparx Gems: 1076	#2 Posted: 14:50:45 08/02/2012 There's a version with the portal, a giant, a new Skylander and a redesigned Skylander. And a version without the portal but with a giant, a new Skylander and a redesigned Skylander.

spyroflame0487 Emerald Sparx Gems: 3866	#3 Posted: 14:51:53 08/02/2012 There was a post mentioning that the game will be sold with a returning character (Probably Spyro), A giant, as well as the portal, and an alternate version without the portal. --- Why did Uncle Peter have an interdimentional portal in his attic?

I'm guessing there will be some exclusive characters again like there was with the 3DS starter pack. We have the Xbox version and bought the 3DS starter pack just to get the exclusive ones, then sold the pack on minus the characters.

The only ones we don't have now that have been released are the legendary ones. I would hate to think were going to have to buy another starter pack just ensure the kids get all the characters = nightmare!

Why in the hell do I need a redesigned Skylander? Because there are so few Skylanders out there?

Hey Activision! WE HAVE ENOUGH DESIGNS ALREADY!!! Just put out new product.

i was wondering the same thing about the starter packs. Before i started reading this thread I was thinking either the normal one with the portal or just the normal game then having to buy the "starter triple pack" separate. I think that way would take up less shelf space. But that also raises the question of packaging all together. Are the giants all going to be single packs? for maybe like $15. I was also thinking double packs. 1 giant and one normal skylander for like $20

chaosworrier Yellow Sparx Gems: 1555	#10 Posted: 21:14:49 08/02/2012 I believe there will be packs of a giant and a normal, just so they can milk a little bit more for people who want to collect the single packs and multiple packs. --- Soylent Green is People!

kappapopm Ripto Gems: 1186	#12 Posted: 11:24:41 09/02/2012 i welcome the new starter kit, it will have 3 new figurines and included a portal that hopefully will have a redesign to match the giants... even if you have a portal before you get a one extra, always good to have one in reserve if the other breaks... they also have said the game will be sold separate... so people can choose...

I agree. I'm sure I'll be getting the starter pack with another portal. With a 7 year old, having replacements of anything is generally a good idea... at least with my 7 year old...

The 3Ds one works with the Xbox???? hummm??? Never tried???

"The game will be packaged along the same lines of Spyro’s Adventure, that is to say Portal + game disc + 3 figures + stickers + web codes, et al. The difference being one of those 3 figures will be a Giant, the other 2 of the new regular-sized Skylanders. Everything else should look familiar. I was told there would also be starter kits packaged without the portal, for us early adopters who already have one. This is a good move and much appreciated."

I am glad to see the game will be sold with-out the portal! Surprised they are not doing a re-modeled portal! hahaha
shhhhhh I should not say that too loud, they maybe listening! haha

Yeah but I'm guessing Act. would give us 3 different elements to last time, so I'd say Unnamed Air Skylander is the one.

i think there will be 32 different starter packs each comes with a giant (likely tree rex) a new skylander(possibly alchimist or the eagle guy i call him sgt eagle) and then a origanal skylander so if you have everyone but let's say boomer you could choose the boomer starter pack or if you got the origanal 3ds version the gill grunt starter pack

If a parent is that stupid to get a (most likely more expensive) version with the portal when they have it already, then it isn't Activision's fault.

I think the problem is the existence of the starter packs themselves. Just sell the damn game separately at this point. Not everyone wants all the figures and certainly even more people do not want a redesigned figure! Thank heavens for Gamestop!

EpicHiro Blue Sparx Gems: 889	#44 Posted: 17:28:34 25/05/2012 The SRP for Giants has been confirmed to be $69.99, so I expect the "expansion" (non-portal version) to be about $10 cheaper. --- SwapForce Coming Out This Fall! Boom!

there r 2 things wrong with the starter pack 1 why would u need a redishned skylander? (espically if u have there oringal version) 2 its got to be confusing to parents which starter pack to buy (with or without portal) so they might get u the wrong one. (u'd probably be with them though unless they got it for you for christmas)

but do you guys have any idea who's in it?

think its alchemist (cause he was before vac eagle) tree rex and either new prism break new cynder or new zook (not though cause he and tree rex in the same element and i said these guys cause they're the only known redesigned people)

if its a new spyro to show he's still a part then it will be vac eagle cause spyro and alchemist are in the same element

idk if its true but the starter pack for one of the systems (i dont remember which one) consists of tree rex, airgle (this is the confirmed name of the bird skylander), and the remodeled cynder

A Giants article in the June 2012 issue of Nintendo Power has info on the starter packs:

- Starter pack for 3DS will have game & portal with: Tree Rex, Cynder repose, and Alchemist (article is now calling him Pop Fizz)
- Console starter version will have game & portal with: Tree Rex, Cynder repose, and Vac-Eagle/Airgle (article is calling him Jet-Vac)
- Booster pack with game (no portal) will only have Tree Rex. This is different from what we were previously told

Don't know if this info is 100% accurate, but Nintendo Power states they are getting exclusive info from Activision. The booster pack with only one giant is kind of a bummer though.
