Pics of cynder glowing? Make a forst level walkthrough if you dont mind!

Please post pics of Cynder glowing and the Portal of Power glowing

Yes ^

Just got back from my Walmart. They had 2 PS3 glow in the dark packs and 6 Wii with just the Giant and game. I took one of each to the front register and they wouldn't ring up. The manager came over (a real *****) and said there must be a recall on them and said I couldn't buy them. Before the manager came over the cashier said she would just put the price in manually but no price was showing up. It wouldn't be a big deal but my son's 6th B-day is Saturday and I wanted him to be able to have it to open.

Ottawa, IL. Just south of Chicago.

Just got back from big w, dick smith, target & eb games and there is no hope in hell ill be getting anything till Wednesday 17th

Also they had 2 Skylanders Wii controllers with chuck for $33. They were orange with skylander stickers on them.

Whats the cord for in the pic? Do you have to plug it into the wii or is it a charger of some sort OR even better.... A power cord so you dont need batteries? I have been out of the loop about info on giants.... I hope you dont have to plug it to the wii.... that will be ackward for where my wii is.... (my kids cant reach it to turn it on and off.....)

Anyone know?

It's a power cord so you don't need batteries like the Xbox.

SO lucky!

Yes, the new Wii & PS3 portals now have USB cables like the XB360 version for S:SA had. The lightcore figures would drain the wireless portals even faster and their lightcore features would be really dim on a wireless portal so they updated to all wired portals in S:G.

Here is a pic (best I can muster - sorry guys) of GITD Cynder, taken in total dark.



And here is a short clip of the new Wii portal of power cycling through it's various colors, taken in darkness for effect..



I will see what I can do about a walk-thru, but I really don't care for those and I hate spoiling stuff for other people.... :-\

BTW, the game is a blast so far. Gotten thru the first 3 levels. We've had Tree Rex, Jet Vac, Shroomboom, S2 Chop Chop and the Cannon on the portal so far. The Persephone upgrades process is quite spectacular (lots of light bolts of the element color shooting in from all sides). The Cannon works like an item and rolls around after you, shooting at enemies and has a time limit like all items. I still need to get some "old guys" on the portal and see how the lvl 11-15 upgrades go. Gold collecting is going slow like the 1st lvls of S:SA did, I am sure it will pick up as we move along (at least I hope it does!). One thing that I notice is that using a Giant so far seems unfair, just too powerful. I suppose that is why there are difficulty levels now in the game to help 'even things up' when you use them.

I keep trying to call Walmart but they don't pick up.

Is Glow Cynder reskinned in the game?

There's no way the GITD characters are going to appear that way in game.

No, she appears as the normal re-posed S2 Cynder, but when you put her on the portal, it says "Series 2 Special" above her name so they appear to now be identifying variants in the game. She also started out at level 5.

is the dificulty hard on hard mode?

What is the phone number to that Walmart?

It is Walmart Store #5190

How's the game?

By making this topic, you are now going to be subjected to three days of questions until Nilbelilt buys the game. :/

is the dificulty hard on hard mode?

We just ran back through level 1 on Hard Mode and it did not seem much harder than the Easy mode, but then again it was only level 1 and the only enemies were Bone Chompies with an HP of about 6. We then ran back through level 3 and it was visibly harder than Easy mode. The enemies seem to be harder to defeat and seem to do more damage when they hit you. We had a lvl 10 L-Triggs and a lvl 5 Tree Rex and towards the end of the level Tree Rex had to be swapped out for another figure and we used the DF Cannon during the final boss battle, which definitely helped out a lot.

My lvl 10 L-Triggs was pretty epic already and he immediately started gaining experience in Giants and is about 1/2 way to lvl 11 now (I can see how slow the lvl 11-15 is going to go...) I was bummed when I took him in to see Persephone and she still tells me that he is completely upgraded and cannot get any more upgrades... (well, I had to try didn't I?) The gold seems to be still capped at 65000, at least for the S1 figures as my L-Triggs was not gaining any more gold, but having lots of gold left from S:SA is nice because you come across Auric from time to time in levels and he has a "store" and he will sell you stuff like regeneration potions/elixirs and hats so I was able to pick up some of those regeneration potions/elixirs with no fear of running out of cash (one is 100G, other is 400G). Most hats are still in hatboxes around the levels though, as are treasure chests, soul gems, legendary treasures, story scrolls and a new item, luck-o-matic wheels which I have not dug into how to use yet. When I found one of them it said that you will use them to increase your luck at finding food and increasing XP when you defeat enemies.

Oh wow! So the GITD portal doesn't really have phosphorescent glowing elements, it's a semi opaque plastic and completely lights from the LEDs? That's pretty neat! It looks like the top ring is still opaque though.

Yes, but does it plug into the wall outlet or the wii? i dont have a xbox. One guy says a power cord which would indicate wall, another says a usb which would mean the wii... so which one is it? Wall outlet or wii console?

Wait, my mom said she saw GITD thing at the store. Maybe mine broke the date too?

It plugs into the Wii USB port (and the PS3 USB port on the PS3 version).

If Walmart stores have broken the street date and people are buying them does that mean that we might not get them after people have pre-ordered on Walmart.com?

Please can you post a gameplay vid of it and show Jet-Vac's and Tree Rex's upgrades?

Nope,in the off chance that it does happen,they will probably compensate by guaranteeing that you'll get a Giant like TRU

When you preorder the GITD portal pack (on Walmart or Sam's), it doesn't have an option to it pick up in the store... so I have to wait for it to be shipped to my house which won't be until the 23rd or later.... BOOO!! lol But the nice thing was that Sam's Club was slightly cheaper so even after tax and shipping costs it was still under $80!! I wonder if I found one on release day to buy if I'd be reimbursed shipping fees from Sam's Club too.... hmmm might have to make a call about that!! lol

is the cable permanent fixed to the portal or is it detachable?... if it's detachable do it have a mini usb or normal big one?..

It would be a permanent fix you will never keep up with the batteries with the new light core landers

i feel sorry for the cheapskates that just buy the booster pack without the new portal. they are gonna have to go through tons of batteries now... and the batty usage will end up costing them a starter pack in the end...

It will cost them more than 1 starter pack lol unless they buy a $25 rechargable battery set plus an extra set of batteries so while 1 set is charging you can use the extra set and vice versa.

Lol there's a shop where I am that sells battery rechargers (Duracell ones) for only $7
I'm still getting the Wii starter pack
1.Its GITD
2.Batterys annoy me like hell
3.Its only €10 more than the PS3 Booster pack

I have 8 energizer 2450 mAh and 4 duracell 1800 mAh and the energizer ones out perform the duracell ones

energizer lasted about 8 hours continuous play
& duracell lasted about 5 to 6 hours continuous play

Yeah, the reason they did this to begin with is because parents were complaining that the Portal uses up a lot of battery's (Mainly the Wii verson as that was the most bought one for kids.)

ummm i went to walmart recently all they have is common skylanders

just went to target with my mom btw im 9 they had POP Pack for wii mom bought it but we had to run out of the store it being saved for christmiss

I hope my TRU has it when I pre-order

glad to see the game is harder. I hope that in the legendary mode your skylanders really do die left and right.

Do the symbols on the portal glow in the dark without the portal being on? The ads are very misleading

How's jet-vac?

Give him time guys

Welp, looks like someone lost their job, and Walmart has to pay for it..

I assume there are heroic challenges in Giants. I had heard that there are special achievements tied to each individual character, but is there heroic challenges like in S:SA? And if so, are you able to unlock a challenge with a Series 1 character?


EDIT: Also, i had heard that they added a 'time played' with each character stat in the select screen. I'm curious as to how long you've played Trigger Happy. It's supposed to work for series 1 skylanders too.

My walmart just fired 30 people. Maybe some sold the game early?
