......Canada Too?

Any word on the S1 Dino-Rang repackage?

I have a question and before anyone says it's been answered I'm not looking through all these new threads and posts which may contain spoilers for the answer. Also, I put it here because I didn't think it warranted it's own thread. So without further ado, here is the question :-

Why is there no option to take ownership of my skylanders? Or is there? and I've just not found it. In the manage section all I have is reset and nickname.

Same with me it's weird

whenever you put a figure on it takes "ownership" automatically I believe.

At least on xbox - ownership is tied to your xbox live account. My boys started one game in slot 1. I started one in slot 3 and every guy they'd put on the portal was already in my collection.

I thought that's what it was

I didn't get anything from tru can someone post the email.

I didn't want to make a whole topic to asl this, but do the returning lightcores have a wow-pow?

One question. Do series 3 read as series 2 and have the S2 wow-pow in Giants or what?

No, unfortunately they don't

I don't know about the WOW POW thing but the series 3's do count as series two special on giants. they also unlock their Heroic challenges on giants.

Not really on topic, but very curious, and i have no suitable place to ask.

what happens if you put a swapped skylander on SSA? what error message would apply?

It just tells you the skylander you're trying to use with the game isn't compatible with it. I thought maybe one would accidentally trigger Buckshot personally but no go :X

Bummer. Now I see no reason to get them. Only the new one's then!

Major spoilers, click if you dare.

Stop posting your hacks, matteo. Activision employees browse these forums you know...

Great, now some users will mistake these images and think Wind-Up and the Sheep toy are out, when they're really not...

Oh, sorry :/

It's not hard to just wait for the toys to be released, instead of hacking a figure.

...Did he really get banned for posting screenshots of those, even though we have another thread showing some of the same already?

He was suspended, though posting hacked unreleased content even though Activision browses these very forums can get him unwanted attention really fast.

What??? Sheep Wreck Island is already out???? OMG

I think that's a terrible stance to be honest. It's a game; content is going to be found within and if Activision wants to get upset about that then the post can be censored. But there's a vast difference between "look at this" and "this is how you do this". This forum isn't under a gag order of any sort, so worrying about what Activision 'might' do is rather paranoid.

Well Activision already showed an example to how extreme they can be. Someone (some users said it was matteo) posted a video of them playing a hacked unreleased Skylander back in 2012 when Giants was out and that video was taken down by Activision.

But who knows what action they may take nowadays, since Swap Force is out.

That's just a youtube video though, and getting one of those pulled is about as easy as claiming they're violating a copyright and being a big corporation. People that do various vids get theirs taken down by bots looking for certain content so it's not unheard of.

I don't see Activision dropping the hammer. Digging through the guts of the game is what's going to give us an idea what we have to spend in the future and what to expect. It's how we knew about Quickstrike Rattle Shake being an actual variant before the toy even got mentioned (and probably would've been assumed to be just a regular chase variant).

While they are hacked and likely not to be trusted. I still find it interesting that Trap Shadow and Freeze Blade have the Special tag added before Swap Force.

The fact that we have not seen chase variants (treasure hunt, whatever you want to call them), is odd, as we have seen evidence of the game registering Speical for Trigger Happy, Gil Grunt (possibly Metallic Green), and now Freeze Blade and Trap Shadow.

In all honesty that's not related to them more than likely, but him probably using an Enchanted Hoot Loop as the base figure.

I looked at the credits,

Seriously?

I never heard of a 'wicked thumpback'..

Seriously?

No, it's fake, Doom, even Wicked Thumpback is fake, a fan custom Skylander toy. Enough with the fan variants, guys.

Oh yeah, tricking fans of a fake Skylander toy is definitely worth the laughs.

it wasnt even me...is it soo bad i shared this?

I'm extremely happy to see that Sprocket's new ability (Wow Pow) is a buff to the tank. I thought she was a bad character on both paths before, but if any path was going to be more unique and fun to power up, it was the tank. Now I have a good reason to go tank and might consider using her, situationally. Specifically I'm hopeful that the tank performs well in survival challenges where jumping and warping and bouncing will not be factors, so there will be no reason to have to keep getting out of it.

Yes, I know, that's why I went (had you heard me it would've been in a sarcastic tone) "Seriously?" Had I thought it was real I probably would've said something along the lines of "Sweet!" or similar.

Also, exactly how much is Sprocket's new tank upgraded?

and I saw Roger Craig Smith's (current voice of Sonic) name in there. He may have voiced Freeze Blade as some speculated.

I think he voiced Rubble Rouser, Boom Jet, and Freeze Blade.
Glad to see our predictions were right.

How good is Smolderdash's lc effect compared to the other Lightcores??

I wish I could answer, my Gamestop had a lot of her, but lacked the Portal display. There are some pics way back of her lighting up.
Here's the best I could find:

She's not the best, but the cool part is the fact that the yellow in her eyes actually vanish when she lights up.

She's still great, especially in the game.

(Look at the first picture... )

I'm obviously too innocent to get whatever you're trying to reference :P
Ugh, the debate: do I get the LC version, with LC-abilites and cool light up features (and no wait), or the awesome Balrog-ing normal pose.

I'd go with both.

Just tested and confirmed that the new tank ability for Sprocket is really really good. Not only do the auto-fire shots do more damage now (doing 33 per hit for me) but the tesla cannon can be charged and fired WHILE you're shooting the auto-canon, doing an additional 132 damage (198 crit!) every 5 seconds or so. In fact, you can even drop mines while shooting the auto canon and tesla cannon, making her one of the few Skylanders who can use all three of her abilities at the same time.

I was kinda underwhelmed with the LC ... She's not really that bright... Or at least mine isn't.

Thats my dilemma. Just cant decide '^'

He voices the Greebles.
