Can he be viewed through time travel yet?

Time travel doesn't work anymore, I don't think.

How about now? It's July 1st..

Nope.

Update just went out. Working on post now.

They released Granite Crusher and Fireworks Zook.

The Lost Islands Celebrate With Fireworks Zook & Granite Crusher

Took me 176 stones to get him. I also got one 60,000 gold prize, one cocoa stand, and one bakery.

156 stones here but nothing of value otherwise. I won the 60k Gold a few times but meh.

Only 80 stones and, as well as the usual trees and stuff, I got a tavern and a water shrine

185 stones...he's the first one I've won. But I have enough left over to get the hall of legends which was my goal!

I got super lucky. Got him with 20 stones... Now I can continue to save for next month!

The number of stones it takes me doesn't bother me since I earned 320+ last month but I'm so jealous of people winning shrines. I think I need to feng shui my Skylander collection and improve my luck.

Took me around 200 stones, unfortunately, but I have plenty more thankfully. Time to save up for next month's.

I also won 60,000 gold like two or three times, and two fish markets.

176 stones and only 2 jack-o-lanters, 1 tavern, and 1 snowman chompie (a 1st for me)... all the rest was trees and junk, not even top gold which I used to win alot. I one one shine last month, but thats about it.

More feng shui = better luck? How does that work?

Ha, I agree with portalflip. I could use some better luck and hopefully win a couple shrines or buildings. On the plus side, my islands are a nature paradise!!

How does one increase the feng shui?

You can't. It was a reference to the Animal Crossing series since feng shui is a central theme.

Hey guys -- gonna try to do some 'gameplay' showing off the Skylanders Lost Islands alter-egos - enjoy!

Does NOT look like what I had in mind at all..

Used the 78 I had saved from last month and won a Tavern, an air shrine, and 45,000 gold. Hopefully I can go 2 for 2 and get Zook!

I think it was a nice compromise. I remember someone saying that they preferred the non-holiday themed characters as it is an international game. Fireworks Zook has an Independence Day vibe with the fireworks, but can easily be seen as something other than an Independence Day character as multiple countries use Fireworks.

I'm happy so far. Haven't gotten the alter ego yet, but after 100 stones, I've got a fishery (a first) and another tavern - that's 700 gems worth right there. Stones well spent. I don't understand what the 60,000 gold is about. In Australia, the top gold prize is 55,000, and I've gotten that quite a few times. Is the gold adjusted for each country based on currency markets?

Top gold prize is determined by your kingdom level. It starts at like 35K I think and goes up from there. I think 60K kicks in at level 30.

Man, I never found Hyde yesterday. Is he timed like a totem? If so, I'm never going to find him and I just wasted 30 gems.

That would make him vie with Quigley as my biggest waste of gems in the game, and another shining example of getting hosed by VV not explaining the rules of an object/character properly.

Out of curiosity, why do you consider Quigley a waste? I don't have him, but have been thinking about picking him up. I'd love to know more about what he does that makes him a good or bad purchase.

I personally love Quigley. Not only do you get exp when you use him to gather your other exp points, but it allows you to look for the elemental totems and other mobs that tend to disappear after a while.

I was under the impression that he automatically collected my xp every two hours, so, for example, he'd collect my xp all night while I slept. Nay, nay. You have to click on him every two hours, so, basically, he just saves you some clicking every two hours. Not worth that many gems, IMHO. At 50 gems, he'd be worth it.

Eh, I think I got one gem when I got him and I've found him twice, so I only have to find him 27 more times until he pays for himself. I just bought him because I'm bored at level 35, just killing time until they raise the level cap again.

Quigley was probably one of the best purchase, in my opinion. Especially as my islands grow and I get more building spread across more islands. Granted, I still collect some myself in between the 2 hours, but when I hit that 2 hour mark, you want to bet that I'll use him. It's much better to hit 1 item instead of 100. As for Hyde, I've already found him 3 or 4 times. I've found him every day with no problem. It's usually been at the beginning of the day. I'm afraid they'll change that up, though, and he'll appear when I'm not able to play. I guess we'll see. Even still, it will take a month (if I find him every day) to get my gems back, but after that, it will be all bonus.

Am I the only one who has him?

Am i?

I have him. Got him first day.

Most people who play regularly probably already have him. I got him the 2nd day. I already have him at level 8 and finished his quests.

I just won him today I also decided to get Brock so I can get the tree from his timed goal!

I picked him up either the first or second day he was available. Cool little dude.
