darkSpyro

As long as it's not via TRU or something. We don't have the Target or Toys R Us chains here, so we never get those exclusives. My legendary figures all came imported from the UK, so I guess I can do that if all else fails.

Would that really be worth $20 more? Even if they were all dark?

If it comes with all the Darks, that's two extra characters, worth $20 extra

Oh right, so you're suggesting that it's the core characters + the dark versions, not JUST the dark versions.
That would be cool, but I'm not sure they'd do that. I can hope, I guess.

Actually, someone else suggested it. Who knows, the pack might come with some other stuff as well. It's also possible that one of the Darks (probably slobbertooth) is a rare single pack or hard to find or something.
Actually, a Collector's Edition, it seems logical to have Spyro in it, why not Dark Spyro?
Also, I consider Volcanic Eruptor to be an honorary Dark variant :P

Yeah, me too. Love that look for him.

Hmm, I see a Dark Starter Pack. I don't see the price going over 74.99.

That's the basic price. The Beings of Avarice that dwell beneath our feet would charge extra for even just darkified versions of the normal starter characters.

See, you say that, but they haven't for Jade/Molten/Polar. Those are all standard pricing.
It's the after-market that pumps the price up.

I suppose so. But if the Collector's starter pack is the Dark pack, then it either contains DST and DMRS, along with dark starters, or it contains the dark starters, and perhaps some other bonuses...

Be cool if it came with the two adventure packs. Save me the trouble of looking for them. That sounds too much of a stretch though since that would be a 50 dollar value for what an extra 25 bucks or so. No one is that cool

Indeed.
But even if it just came with Popthorn, that'd be ok.
Actually, seeing as it's a Collector's Edition pack, it must be something vaguely significant, the others that came with adventure packs and loads of 'landers were called stuff along the lines of mega-packs and so forth.

Maybe it'll have rare clear or gitd figures like the gamestop bundles

this is probably not it but what if except for the portal and game the box was empty and you can choose any 3 characters and then later blast zone and wash buckler would be coming in singles like rattle shake and free ranger will in wave 1

any pic or it not happen.

I hate this phrase, and bad English doesn't make it any better.

Kappa, every post is speculation, who are you referring to?

I hope it's the Dark box, Dark Washbuckler looks so cool.

It looks like your speculations are missing the mark here.

Amazon.uk also has this limited edition bundle listed for sale as well but they refer to the fact that it comes with Lightcore Hex as the "limited edition" part of the starter pack. My guess is that in the UK any pack that comes with Lightcore Hex is being marketed as "limited edition".

^I believe that is not the collector's pack its just Amazon stating that it Is a limited offer

I noticed amazon uk are selling the SWAP force bonus light core hex for £49.99

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Skylan...DV84HEY0K355JW0

If the collector's edition just has Hex but costs $20 extra, I know some people who'll be quite miffed...
I highly doubt that's all the Collector's Edition is.

You never know... we can hope.

Swapkicks?

if its a collector edition , it should be more than just some bonus items...

heres some examples of collector editions...

Well, you're right that collector editions of video games usually contain things like art books, bonus DVD's etc a collectors edition of Skylanders could still include these, along side the 2 extra Dark figures.

The only thing we can all do is wait and see.

what i expect...

1. new fancy big box for the game
2. cd with the game music
3. art book & stickers
4. big map over all parts of the game
5. a special painted figure that only comes in the collection edtition(variant only in colors, no in game variant)


this is the minimum....

well it is real and it is the dark skylanders

Look at the release date o.O

TADA!

So, the whole Collector's Edition and Dark Secret thing is...

http://blog.us.playstation.com...ition-revealed/

Yup! The starter pack, but with five Dark Variant figures rather than the three normal ones!

Called it

DO WANT

So are the Collector's Edition and Dark Edition the same thing?

And...... I'm unimpressed. Dark versions alone don't get my attention enough to shell out the extra cash. Most variants don't. Oh PLUS a poster of all the Skylanders from across all three games....meh. Where's my art book, my bonus DVDs, my collectors tin in the shape of Flynn's ship? I get that the game is geared more for kids but I'm a bit disappointed.

Who is goig to get this?
I WONT. I hate variants.

I'm going to get it! So I'm probably getting three starter packs release day now...

I'll get the Dark edition then buy a normal Ninja Stealth Elf loose online so I can have both.

May pre-order it to pay a little bit at a time rather than paying for it all at once.

Hmm... Remember we found this from the UK website Coolshop. Does this mean that it'll be exclusive to Coolshop in the UK?

Dark Edition Starter Pack includes:

1-Video Game
1-Portal of Power
5- Dark Skylanders Figures
1- Mega Character Poster
5-Sticker Sheets with Secret Codes
5-Trading Cards

so is the dark edition and the collector’s edition separate or is the dark edition considered the collector’s edition?

Anyone notice that on GameStop.com it says "GameStop Exclusive"??

thats bs

For those who also want LC Hex: Grab a preorder card from Target and use the free LC Hex coupon to get her, and then get the Dark Starter Pack.

Won't work. The coupon says you MUST buy the starter pack to get one.

Won't work. The coupon says you MUST buy the starter pack to get one.

And after talking to a Gamestop employee today you should still be eligible for LC Hex when you pick up your preordered Dark Edition.

So basically, there is a distinction between getting the regular and Dark Edition of the Starter Pack? Even though I preordered the Starter Pack, I have to ask the clerk if I could get the Dark Edition instead of the regular one?

Wait, that's stupid. not just the price, but how would you get the normal starter 'landers and the lightcore hex if you bought the dark version? i certainly do NOT want to buy the same game twice.


EDIT: found this http://www.dailyfinance.com/20...ers-swap-force/
if you read the whole thing or tl;dr it, just scroll down to where it says if you pre order any game version, you get hex.

Once again Dark Spyro is released. Will possibly end up starter pack exclusive again. Ah the many people that won't understand how long it has been that way. lol
