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

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.

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

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". Quote:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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? |

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.
