Thought I'd post this, I received the email this morning.

I bolded the key information.

Skylanders SWAP Force - Activision's Skylanders SWAP Force continues to build upon the success of the award-winning franchise's signature gameplay and collectible toy experience with the introduction of an innovative feature - dynamic swapability. Kids and gamers will have unprecedented levels of choice in how they explore Skylands and battle Kaos by swapping the top and bottom halves of the toys to transform 16 SWAP Force characters into more than 250 unique combinations. Set in a richly detailed world of next generation visual fidelity, Skylanders SWAP Force takes kids on an all-new adventure with 32 never-before-seen heroic characters that each offer unique powers and personalities. The game also features new abilities - such as flying, climbing, and teleporting - which can be used in special areas of Skylands. Additionally, fans can play with their entire collection of 100+, forward-compatible toys from both Skylanders Spyro's Adventure® and Skylanders Giants™. Skylanders SWAP Force is set to release in North America on October 13, Australia on October 16 and Europe on October 18. Fans can pre-order Skylanders SWAP Force Starter Packs worldwide beginning on June 7; all games pre-ordered at participating retailers worldwide also will come with a free Skylanders toy. Suggested retail pricing: starter pack, $74.99; individual action figures, $9.99 for core characters, $14.99 for new SWAP Force characters. (Developed by Vicarious Visions for the PlayStation 4 system, PlayStation 3 system, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and the Wii U™ system from Nintendo; the Wii™ from Nintendo version is in development by Beenox; the portable Nintendo 3DS™ version is in development by n-Space; not yet rated by the ESRB.)

15 bucks wow and October 13 yes

YAY! US GETS IT FIRST!

Jeez, Europe gets many days later!
Skylanderskids, have you seen the two new swaplanders? The snake and bird(?) one? They look awesome.

What about a LC price? That's odd they'd leave it out of a press release. $14.99 kind of seems a lot for the Swap guys though...ugh. Hopefully lots of stores will have them on sale though...that's getting dangerously close to the line where average people stop buying them.

Maybe Lightcore is not coming back for Part 3, what do you think? I can't say I've seen any confirmed LC images or news. Although Magna Charge definitely looks like he could be. But washbuckler doesn't. I don't know really.

they said lc's return.....

I think an earlier press release (or something from Toy Fair) stated there would be 8 new LightCore characters. Although, things could easily change. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they scrapped the LCs for Swap Force- we haven't heard anything about them, and with this whole LC Hex thing, they seem to be trying to get rid of them any way they can. (most retailers have them on sale right now)

So since the wii version is developed by beenox and not vicarious visions, does that mean it won't be a main console game like the Xbox, ps3, wii u verions, etc.? Will it be like the 3ds version where it's a different story?

no, only difference is the graph

I'm probably gonna get it sux how you can't preorder other figures so you're stuck with the 3 in the starter pack... Oh well
Also: WHEN IS THERE GONNA BE ONLINE BATTLE MODE!!!!!!!!!!!

maby now

Huzzrah! October's the birthmonth of one of my Skykander-playing siblings. That should cover the price.
