The new arena looks pretty darn good.

Mine gets here Wednesday, pics to follow of course, if no one else has gotten theres by then.

The new arena will probably make Stump a ban it itself. He can just pop right into the water and recover health fast as hell. Then again, Pirate Grotto had water, so...

Are we agreed that the silver/blue one is better than the exclusive golden/red one? (Just tryna decide which to get becaue I like both equally but only want one)

I agree with that consensus. But I get the feeling they will give the Golden one's attack a more powerful effect.

Agreed. The arena *may* even be different. Since it's not just a gold variant, but rather a differently named item there should be at least something different.

Well, looking at the header images, the arena actually looks the same. Sigh. I'm getting both anyway, though, so... smilie

IMPORTANT edit: I just noticed underneath the "Dragonfire Cannon Battle Pack" text it says "Cannon" as well... Does this mean even MORE varieties? smilie

i'm not sure of the exact store, but there is a exclusive GITD cynder and portal in the uk, available for pre order. I believe you can do it in store or online as well.

Came back from TRU today, tuesday, October 2, 2012
And the Skylander display hooks showed light cores, ex legendary stealth, ex legendary Bouncer, regular series 2, ex legendary giant's 3 pack, and giants character packs, and the battle pack

The prices were, $9.99, $11.99, $14.99, $24.99 depending on the item. (all USD obviously)

There were green stickers on there labeled 10/2,
So no stock on the shelves, but the rep said they must be in the back or are expected by the end of the week.
Interesting.

^ Wow, thanks for sharing this information =). I wonder if my Toys'R'Us has something like this up, I'll probably go and check it out soon. I'm guessing that Standard figures are $9.99, Lightcores are $11.99, Giants at $14.99, and Triple Packs are $24.99? That would be great if Giants only costed $14.99 USD, I was thinking something along the lines of $19.99 USD.

That is quite interesting. Maybe Activision is pumping them out to stores to get a head start on demand.

My guess is that Legendary Chill's figure will be LightCore, and she'll probably come out the same time as normal LC Chill does.
We've already got Legendaries of a new Skylander, Series 2 characters, and a Giant, so it would make sense that they would have a Legendary Light Core as well.

Ordered it from Toys R Us' website...pretty sure they're out of stock though based on some other posts I've read.

I just got mine in the mail! The cannon's light core feature is pretty awesome, the eyes of the dragon on the cannon glow blue as does the inside of the cannon barrel.

Weak. I have the sneaking suspicion that Skylanders Giants will be just as bad as Spyro's Adventure in terms of product availability. Scalpers will be first in line for everything.

#137 Posted: 20:49:23 03/10/2012 | Topic Creator
Geeky scalpers can't be in all places at once, however. There are far more stores than scalpers.

However, the fact people are listing them on Ebay already, doesn't help matters more than help matters.

The developers have said in interviews that there were power requirements to/from the wireless portals to ensure that features work (like how the simulated Wii nunchuck commands required them to use a USB dongle rather than counting on the built in wireless on the console) . I'd bet that the 3DS portal under battery power doesn't have enough juice to power the Lightcore feature. I assume this is also the real reason that the portals are wired in Giants. They admitted in the FGTV interview that the effect would be dimmer over wireless.

Already?! I'm saving mine for Giants! Do you know if you can still get the Wow Pow ability if you leveled it fully? Probably can, but it's still a thought.

Once you have all the accolades, it doesn't take that many trips through the first part of the Kaos level to get to 10. I'm sure I'll still be able to get the wow pow but if for some reason I can't, I'll just reset.
