When exactly were the Cannon Piece, Sprocket, Flashwing, and Chill reasleased, and ant pics?

Apparently cannon piece is a PVP stage.

There's no pics, but the German Amazon listings that were posted earlier had those names on there, so we matched them up to what we believe are the corresponding Skylanders.

Skylanders Giants will be available this Fall for XBox 360, PS3, Wii, and 3DS. When asked about a possible Wii U release, the spokesman said “We’re currently considering the Wii U, and that’s all I’m allowed to say.” There are also talks about creating a mobile portal and mobile version of the game, but those aren’t concrete ideas just yet. He also said that they will attempt to provide better supply of the figures this time around, hopefully addressing shortage issues from the last game. Standard single figures have an MSRP of $9.99, while Light-Core figures will be $11.99. Giants will be available for $14.99, and new Battle Packs which feature 2 exclusive figures and a special battle-mode arena, will be $24.99.

So the Cannon Piece unlocks a battle-mode arena. Another Volcanic Vault more or less.

^someone posted from a review that a battle pack contains two figures and a stage.

Some characters are getting both. Such as ShroomBoom.

Yes, as far I as I know all Legendaries are in the same pose as there normal counterpart?

I was just hoping they would change that in Giants. Legendaries are still a waste of money... Sigh.

Yeah they are just a color-swap.
All Lightcore guys will be reposed, I believe.

And a slight stat improvement.

@TheSpyrofan12/Rand O M: Ah i see, it was posted on the other page. Hah.

On the topic of the Legendaries, we can't really say for sure yet since we haven't seen what the regular versions of the Ignitor and Slam Bam figures looks like yet. It's possible the Legendaries could be in different poses than the regular ones. (They don't match the current ones either)

i really hope that the legendary's are easeir to find than they were for the 1st game. legendary trigger happy was easy to find but the triple pack was a nightmare. also i like the idea of battle packs. that sounds really cool.

EpicHiro - Worth $30?

I'm pretty confident that sadly they'll be the same this time too.

And $75 being insane? Please, here, REGULAR Wii games cost $100 new. No portal, figure, pipherals, etc. Americans here need to start being more grateful they aren't paying the insane prices we are. There is no excuse for them to not include LightCores in the starters since they will sell millions of toys at massive gain anyway.

Mate, I think you need to shop around more. Wii games are generally cheaper than the other console ones and I have never paid even remotely that for a XBox game here in Brissie. My most recent example was Lego Batman 2 for $54.

Anyone else notice that there's a skylander behind the water giant with way look like a tech base and like a red cone in the screen grab

So Comic-Con opens today, right? Any news on whether any Skylanders updates will come out of there?

if i read right it's gonna be there

Really? Cause I'm mostly thinking about my most recent Wii game, Xenoblade.

Before that was DKCR, $85.

Super Mario Galaxy 2... $100.

I could go on. Xenoblade wasn't even from a proper games shop (J so it cost less than from one. To be fair though SMG2 was from GameTraders and came with a bonus shirt.

post 5 a battle pack idea

The remodels... I personally see and not getting one.

,, and because they are new out. because is more popular.

Yeah, they are good characters, but if they are newer out, it would be dumb to remodel them.

I wouldn't like it if they remodeled , because I'm still searching for him.

Yeah SDCC starts today. AHHH! i wanna go and see the GIants section!

Don't know if any of this helps.

@CynderVolts

*facepalms* What is up with new users to the internet using the Spyro Wiki as their main source of information? Looks like the admins are going to need some major changes due to this repeating problem...

Leave aura alone. You kappa are the most immature person i have ever met! and i have met some really immature people. Aura is trying to make sure we have correct info and has been a great member on the forum.

Its in San diego. so SDCC is San Diego Comic Con.

I've been gone for a while, so sorry for asking this, but where was Flameslinger confirmed to be getting a remodel? He's my favorite skylander so I want to make sure it's true before I get my hopes up.

Here:

In the German version of Amazon.com, there are names of other various Skylanders from Skylanders: Giants we haven't heard of:

http://www.amazon.de/s/ref=nb_...&qid=1341892644

http://www.amazon.de/s/ref=nb_...&qid=1341892850


Sprocket (normal-sized Skylander)
Cannon Piece (random item)
Flashwing (normal-sized Skylander)
Chill (normal-sized Skylander)
Fright Rider (normal-sized Skylander)
Hot Head (Giant)

There is also a Light Core Drobot.

^on that note just so you know jet vac will also have lightcore and here is a battle pack idea and the battle pack we know is the one with chop chop, shroomboom and cannon piece which we think is a arena

AH! Thanks for showing me, really appreciate it!

What if Cannon Piece is a bad translation? It could be a bad, or too literal, translation that will actually play out to be an area with a more logical name. I'm curious.

^maybe cannon place

dose anyone know if the skylander's sidekicks can be used in giants?

all magic items, skylanders, adventure packs will work in giants

It's been said in an interview thing that Battle Packs contain an arena.

^Someone's being defensive.. It's the truth, kappa. And this isn't the first time you acted like this. Has being suspended taught you anything?

It's clear who needs to crawl back into their cave.

And yet you can't use capitol letters? Please, Kappy, just give it a rest. Aura hasn't been doing anything wrong, and Rand did not deserve that response.

Got the new issue of Game Informer magazine in the mail today and the Skylanders Giants coverage was pretty pathetic. The article was only 1/4 of a page long and provided no new info or revealed any new Skylanders.

that makes me upset

Im gonna get the latest Gameinformer for Skylanders Giants and this other fighting game i want

Judging from the looks of it, I'd say that's just original Drill Sergeant.

knowing skylanders, most of this isnt going to be released upon the first few weeks, maybe even months when the game comes out. does anyone remember the time intervals between the adventure pack releases?

$24.99 for two characters and a battle arena...you're having a laugh!

No way we'll be buying those.

Quote: SparCrux1101

I respectfully disagree. I seem to remember there being a total of 12 mass released individual figure and additional 2 released as store exclusives. In addition there were 2 adventure packs and four triple packs (counting the TRU legendary exclusive). In short a fan could have had 24/37 on the first day. I honsetly think its realistic to expect all the figures shown on the german website to make up the initial launch. I also think that the rest of the new figures will be scattered in four or five additional waves over the following four to six months. Expect the initial release to be huge to attract existing, old and new fans with all the shiny new figures on the shelf.

No way will the first wave consist of less than 30 characters they are trying to recreate momentum with the new game and part of that will be tons of new figures in seemingly mass supply (at least until Christmas)

This is less certain but I actually think it would be strategically wise to push out most of the brand new characters as part of wave 1: at least 10 of the 16

@Kappa Oh yes because I am the one trolling everyone's a#%. Sorry you weren't hugged enough as a child.

Just ignore Kappa, Rand OM, he's just doing another one of his immature episodes..
