Thanks Brad..

Today's Gem Quest:

Q) What is Terrafin's Element?
Fire
Water
Earth

-Selects Earth-

Sorry! Your answer was incorrect. Please try again later.

[EDIT] Happened twice in a row.

if you select water you get a right answer, i'm guessing whoever put it up assumed since he is a shark he must be a water element figure. Hell the site wouldn't even let me play the game yesterday at all.

Well, Terrafin is a shark!

Brings back memories of 4kids

Wasn't Terrafin's original type Water? I remember seeing a Meet the Skylanders video where he was classified as a Water element.

Thanks guys. We're working on fixing it now. (For what it's worth, you can get the Gem by answering Water for now.)

EDIT: It's fixed now! This is due to a Freudian slip on my part ... I knew he was Earth, but I highlighted Water ...

LOL! Just 4 moar times.. (I know, I ain't getting it. )

Good news for the UK. The first wave of sets are starting to hit stores and some of them are in stock and ready to ship/be collected from Argos now They should be available in all other stores by December 15th.

Just reserved Crusher's Pirate Quest, gonna pick it up tomorrow! So excited!

My mother-in-law watched our kids last night and took them out to eat and run some errands....when i got home, they showed me their new toy....the Walmart Exclusive Glow-in-the-Dark Troll Mech Ambush.

I'm glad it was not me who got my kids into the MEGA BLOKS or my wife would not be happy. Kept wanting to get them into it but with the money we have been spending on the regular Skylanders it was hard to get them into another toy line....I figured once they got one, they'd want more.

I was impressed with the set itself. When I got home they had not built it yet....they had left it for me to help them with it since they are just 7 and not done too much building themselves (MEGA BLOKS or LEGOs). I was pleasently surprised with the good building of the Troll.

I hope I can get them some more later on.

Ten gems collected! What a great feeling. Good luck to whoever wins!

On the MY page is everyone getting their codes to enter correctly? I have tried putting in all my sons codes but only 1 or 2 out of 3 work from each instruction manual.

thanks

Yes! Got 10 Gems! Good luck to everybody else who entered!

Just put all mine in and had a similar problem. I tried a few different things to try and get it to work and I found that some of the code's 0's and capital O's have been mixed up. So if your code isn't working, try swapping out a zero for a O or vice versa.
The only one I can't get to work at all is the green chompie from Crusher's Pirate Quest. I've tried different variations of the code but it still won't work

By the way, did anyone else get one of these little inserts with their Sky Turret Defense set?

Same here....my boys are sharing the Walmart GITD Troll Ambush and the Cynder code wont work.....I've tried all combinations of altering the "O" and "0" and still no luck.

Well it seems like its a overall issue. I have tried different combinations as well, some worked many did not.

thanks for the input.

My son is playing so maybe he will win, if not hes having fun doing the game. Im glad all the questions are on a younger persons level so maybe more kids will get involved and increase the interest in the Skylanders mega bloks product.

DS

If you're having trouble with a code, could you please send me a message with both the code and the figure it corresponds with? It will make it a lot easier for us to pinpoint the issues.

Congrats to everyone who got 10 gems already!



This image ... all it means is that there's an extra "gold" piece than is listed in the parts list. I honestly laughed out loud when I first saw this, to put it in for such a small piece ... lol

The Battle Portals have arrived in the UK at Argos! I (stupidly) ordered Terrafin and Chop Chop from the US last week thinking that we wouldn't see them for a while here in the UK, but as usual with my luck, they've turned up! Now I've got to wait 2 weeks to get them... which is annoying. I got Trigger Happy today though. He's a cool little guy and I LOVE his guns. They remind me of Big Baby from the Hellboy movies!

Still no sign of the Ultimate Battle Arcrade though. Has that even been spotted in the US?

That's hilarious and pretty silly, especially since I got 8 extra gold pieces (I wouldn't normally count, but I knew something was strange when I couldn't fit them all in the chest!)

Congratulations laminated! We haven't seen the following in the U.S. yet:

• Crusher's Pirate Quest (But it is available on Amazon right now)
  
• Ultimate Battle Arcade
  
• Dark Spyro's Battle Portal
  

I've seen Crusher's Pirate Quest in the US before.

Battle Arcade hasn't dropped yet.

Quote: Mega Bloks

Battle Arcade hasn't dropped yet.

Ah okay. Any idea on when it will drop in the UK? It's listed on most of the websites that the rest of the stuff is, so I imagine it must be soon. I just hope it arrives before christmas so I can use my £5 discount card that I got for buying Crusher's Pirate Quest the other day

Having trouble with today's question? We're working on it. Sorry guys

CPC is everywhere at my local target. My favorite of the sets so far.


Dear Santa....

Today's question is fixed!

Has anyone seen the single character portal packs at retailers in the US yet? I'd really like to get them for my son, but can't find them anywhere (and the prices for them at Amazon and Ebay are INSANE!),

^ They were just released, and are rare for now.

Try Toys'R"Us. I've found plenty of the four main Battle Portal Packs there. (Dark Spyro's Battle Portal is a Target exclusive)

Yup, they sold out really fast in a lot of places. Keep your eyes peeled!

I see you guys are advertising now!

Ultimate Battle Arcrade has arrived here in the UK at Tesco!
http://www.tesco.com/direct/me...de/725-7031.prd

I don't really care for the whole battle game so I think I'll pass on this one, and the figures in it are supposedly going to be released again in future waves anyway.

Also just noticed that Dark Spyro won't be hitting the UK according to MB's website, which is a shame.

I got Turret Air Raid

Finally saw Crusher's Pirate Quest at TRU. Target's taking a long time to get their sets in (Dark Spyro's Battle Portal, Turret Air Raid), and no U.S. sightings of the Ultimate Battle Arcade yet.

Just pmed brad about dark spyro and Ultimade Battle arcade


Quote: Mega Bloks

Yep, it's no secret, though we haven't shown any sets yet.

Pumped for you guys to try out the Battle Arcade/Battle Portals. Actually really, really fun gameplay. Like playing Rebound with giant street hockey pucks with Skylanders on top of them. And exploding treasure chests. (Just as cool as it sounds)


Can you make a game with turrets make one like this
You shoot ammo at treasure chest and both turrets shot each other
i may do this once i get chills turret

Can you please stop?

Really love the comparison pic above, you can see just how well our characters mimic the originals while also having their own unique art direction

Thanks everyone for the kinds comments lately. Let me know if you need anything, as usual!

Is anyone going for all the Gems?

are you automatically entered in when you get 10 gems if not can someone tell me how to enter.

Also my wal-mart has 7 of each portal set (trigger happy, chop chop, terrafin, and ignitor)

I can't find the portals in my area at all...

And, yes, me, Diggeh, and a few others are trying for the Legendary Treasure. Good luck!

You're automatically entered for each prize as soon as you get the required amount of Gems.

Good! I thought something was wrong.

I've gotten about 12 or 13 gems so far.. do more gems improve your chance of winning?

Nope. But they improve your chances of being awesome.

I've got 18 gems so far

How much longer does the competition go on for and when do winners get announced?

Here's a pic of all my guys so far! Terrafin and Chop Chop are on their way to me too!

Sorry for the quality of the pic - blame blackberry's very bad phone cameras!

I have all 19 gems so far. It's been a blast, and I hope that the custom Legendary Treasure build is something amazing!

Also a heads up: I saw Ultimate Battle Arcade and Crusher's Pirate Quest at Walmart.

I cannot wait to see the 2013 sets! (I'll need a lot more room in the first post!)

I think I've spotted an Eruptor or Hot Head figure, amongst other stuff I can't quite make out


Pic from Sparky's twitter - https://twitter.com/Sparky_MB - he's the vice president of boys' brands at MB.

Looks like Hot Head's next!

All we need now is Ninjini..

OMG BRAD WHAT ARE YOU HIDEING

Hot Head?....cant see past those beautiful Mantis sets! ;P

defintely looks like hot head. What else does anyone see in that picture.
