Not only are the pre-orders for the normal starter packs available, but they also display "Collector's Edition" versions.
Other than the title, and price, there are no differences in descriptions.
Has anyone else found information on these Collector's Editions?

Dark ninja stealth?

It probably has lots of Varients in it

Not a bad idea. Save the variants for the collectors edition. Hopefully we'll get more info soon.

I converted the price, it's roughly $105 in US dollars (as apposed to roughly $80 for the standard starter pack)! All I can say is, it better have some good stuff. Seeing as starter packs have, before, had special bundles for over a hundred dollars that came with loads of 'landers, I imagine this will be similar.

I'm quite a collector, so this might be the pack for me!

I think its a bad idea to have a exclusive variant with it. People like me would have to buy it on ebay, which will cost lots of money. another thing that could come with the collectors is some triple packs and such

Activision is trying very hard to separate your money from you. Choose to embrace or have an alternate strategy. I was all in on Giants, but after going thru it I'm pretty sure my strategy will be tempered according to how well the game's re playability is.

I'm just wondering what comes in the pack, It depends on what is in the pack, if it seems good enough with my budget, and gives me more skylanders I could use, I would buy it instead of the actual starter pack.

I'm wondering if the reserve allows it to go towards the collector's edition.

i will just go for the collector edition then... i guess it will have some figures in different colors that will be released later in different colors... it just save me go hunting for these later...

Seeing as it's not too much more expensive compared to the standard pack (about the price of a couple of Swappers), hopefully I can pick this up. Assuming it comes with at least 2 more 'landers. Or maybe some in-game bonuses (which I hope not, because that'd be kinda unfair).

If it is unfair, then expect it. Mo Money, sez SpendoVision.

It might include all of Wave 1

For only $20-30 more than the standard starter pack? Doubtful, we didn't fondly nickname Activision the Beings of Avarice for nothing.... a pack containing Wave 1 would be at least $175...

It won't be nearly that expensive. The game RRP's at £60 in the UK, which is around $90USD. I wouldn't be surprised if this Collectors Edition is more around the $70USD price

But the standard Starter Pack's $75.

Is it? Okay, you'll probably have it for around $90 then.

Sorry wallet, oh wait Im getting this game on X-mas ^.^

Lol. If it's under $100, I'll probably get it (if it comes with at least one or two new landers).
So i presume no where else has any data on this?

My town is going to sell Swap-Force for $100 for the normal starter pack

How many euros it is?

I'm going to say that the collectors edition will be like the mega pack from SSA which had an adventure pack two triples and some singles

Yes! The Wii Starter Pack is cheaper *dances*
Also, I like the normal Starter Pack the most, I just want my 2 swaplanders and my first Stealth Elf *hugs Stealth Elf*

poor gamemaster78 he will now have to buy all the different console version of the collector edition too...

Lol. Wouldn't it be interesting if the collector's edition had some of the books or a completely different set of figures?

just some stoopid book?... i dont bother then.. it must include figures that are special ingame and extra ingame stuff. nothing that is to important that will ruin games for others of course.... but if i can get more figurines with first buy and i spend less time hunting it is all good for me. im tired of hunting figures that are not there, then next week they show up and scalper have bought them all.

The collectors edition might be a throwback to the 'Mega Pack' version of SSA that came with an adventure pack and a triple pack as well as the game?

So, for the price, either a single adventure or triple pack would be most likely.

yah it would be good with one more chapter at getgo...

Fingers crossed for release here... God forbid it actually comes with exclusive in game content and non-Americanadians never get to see it

Normal is 70 euros

I have seen SSA starter packs with an adventure pack and I think extra characters.

Then that means this'll probably have Popthorn/Gasteroid and the tower of time.
But then, why call it a Collector's Edition? If it were just an adventure pack, I'd think they'd have a different name. Could be wrong though...

A collector edition games always have a music CD and a special figure in the box! (sometimes a book with all the drawing!) So me I think they'll put Music, book and Nitro Magna Charge!

for 175 bucks.... no way hosay... not buying that.. they would need to include 8 figures,adventure pack and the music/art book if thats gonna be bought.

This is most likely like the ultimate pack or something like that it was for ssa and only at best buy it came with the starter pack a triple pack and an adventure pack.

that wasn't a collector edition... that was just a deal by the dealer... an collector edition have its own boxes with the extra stuff in it and not sold separately...

It's not $175. I just guessed a pack containing all Wave 1 would be around that area. It's more likely to be $85-100.
Also, despite googling it, I can't find any evidence of the Collector's Edition outside of Coolshop on any other website.

Soooo is this UK only or will the US be getting this as well?

I presume, though there's no info yet. I'm hoping we get some soon, I'd like to pre-order the standard pack, but I want to wait until I know if what's in the Collector's Edition.

Old news... knew it 1-2 months ago...

Did you not read when the topic was made? It was the first topic about it.

Someone mentioned some article mentioning that Dark Stealth Elf would come in a starter pack. Either they meant that Ninja Stealth Elf would, or maybe the Collector's Edition pack comes with dark variants! 3 of the 5 Dark Variants' normal forms do come in the standard starter pack...

I think the collectors edition might come with all five dark skylanders.

I like your idea, I even think it could be true, but the article mentioning that Dark Stealth Elf didn't say it was in a starter pack.
But, yeah - that's the best idea I've seen so far around the 'collectors' edition.

If so, they should seriously announce it. Pre-orders would probably run it out of stock in a few days.
If Dark Blast Zone has purple fire (like so many custom Darklanders), I imagine he'll become the new most desired swapper.

Dark Swappers, it's like a dream come true...

I second that emotion.

Guess we'll find out on the 12th.
*Crosses fingers*

Hopefully before then, I want to pre-order the collector's edition as soon as I learn what's in it. With all the news we're getting this week, hopefully it's not too far off from being officially announced.

Also, if it is indeed a "Darkness" pack, that'd be fun if they gave it a better name than collector's edition.
Maybe Skylanders Swap Force: Darkness Starter Pack or something.

If the Facebook page announced the Darks' return, and if it is indeed connected to the Collector's Edition, then we should get some confirmation or something on it.

My big worry is that we might not be able to get it here (New Zealand). Importing is such a pain in the bum.

Well, we know for a fact they're available in the UK, so NZ should get them, hopefully.
