A Green Rip Tide with the US hook appeared on eBay. These will definitely be a worldwide release.

Just saw a new swap force commercial, something about a "Boom Party." I saw Stink bomb and Freeze blade in it.

Yea I seen it too

i saw it too.

I didn't. Can someone post it?

It's on the SkylandersGame youtube channel:

okay, i see now there will not be possible to get the none light-core or ordinary figures if you not buy the battle packs... its like they try force you to buy these useless battle packs. its getting ridiculous....

i dont have place for all the figures anymore and i must stick to the ordinary ones and one of each figure, that means no variants... like i did see the grim creeper legendary ligh-core, and it was the only one in the shops everywhere. originally i wanted the regular grim creeper but he is not released before like 3 months here around. around that time i am pretty much done with the game, so to put it short i was forced to buy this butt ugly gold legendary light-core grim creeper. i put him on my portals and then hide him in the closed, hes so ugly it makes me sick...

Well, actually you can! You just have to buy them on Ebay. That was my strategy for Giants, and will be the same for Swap Force. Otherwise, how could have anyone who bought a Booster Pack have a regular Jet Vac? Buying again the game with the regular Starter Pack? Nope! You'll just have to wait a little more.

Dune Bug in hand!

^ Cool!

I really dread trying to find stink bomb and dune bug. Everyone's after because he's sneak, and everyone's after because he looks AWESOME. I can see myself hunting for AGES to get them, but in the end having to resort to ebay...

I'm going to go nuts looking for him, Godddd I want him soooo much! DX

How does one write Dune Bug in hand and not explain where you got it?

I don't actually have it. I bought one, but I don't have it yet.

While I do like him I must say his eye kinda bothers me how it is bigger than the other

Dune Bug satisfies me, I like him!

Lucky! I've wanted Dune Bug for SOO long. He and Arkyon Crossbow are on the top of my X-mas list. I STILL can't find Scorp who I also want.

He looks so cool, amazing paint job!

Ugly Dune Bug is ugly.

Well, I got both Rock variants on the release day for Giants. Who's to say that this person didn't get them all at one store? He could've went to several stores and found each at a different one.
People have had better luck than others in the chase for these things.

Do we know wave 3's release date yet?

Rumored date is December 15th.

Thank you!

You worship Trigger Happy and think Dune Bug is ugly?

Wow, Activision is definitely giving Skylander BoyandGirl all this attention, again, they're seen in this official SkylandersGame packaging opening vid. They are now on television.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Ok I have nothing against them as far as what they do and as a matter of fact I appreciate what they do, but this is too far. Just because they do dumb things that thousands of people find funny does not mean that they should be offical endorsers of Skylanders.

EDIT: Ignore this post. I acted like an idiot here, and I've already apologized to SkylanderBoyandGirl for my rudeness.

Give GameMaster some screen time. He deserves it.

I really dislike SkylanderBoyandGirl. Most of their videos are pointless and downright stupid, and their dad acts like a 5 year old.

I realize Activision likes them, but can they give someone else some screen time instead?

I've actually met the Skylander Dad, in person, and he's a really cool, well-spoken, intelligent, creative, family-oriented guy. I hate to use a cliche, but frankly I'd say that people who hate on the SkylanderBoyandGirl are just simply jealous. Don't judge a book by its cover. And remember, Skylander Dad is a member of these forums, and he probably reads your posts. If you have something derogatory to say to him, you probably should send a PM to him rather than just hating openly in the forum.

Or how about stopping the hate once and for all? It's just a YouTube channel. There are plenty of 'em.

If you hate them, keep it to yourself.
If you're absolutely addicted to them, that's fine.

Yes, I've had PM conversations with Skylander Dad before. He's a great guy.
He was even nice enough to mention me in a video.

^

So have I.

He's great.

I love Skylanders Boy and Girl but they do get a lot of free stuff. Call me jealous, which I am just a little bit, even though I have almost all the skylanders they have. Their father acts like that because it's for entertainment purposes. He looks like a great father that gives his kids all they want. But the main reason I like them is because I see my dad in him. My dad always used to act silly like that when he was in my life, it brings back memories and makes me miss him more. Sorry, I got off topic there. Just please dont judge good people that you never met before.

I thik they are great, and they are exactly the target audience Activision is seeking for Skylanders. Young kids getting excited for toys and their parents having fun with them. It's so easy to forget that it is all about keeping the kids happy. Collectors may buy lots of figures, but they don't a candle to the volumes of figures sold to kids that may only have 10 or so figures. They outnumber the collectors by several orders of magnitude. And when Activision wants to highlight fans, they are going to show excited kids, not grown adults with a cabinet filled with figures still in the box. Excited kids tell parents, hey I want to excite my children too. A giant Skylanders shrine tells parents, gee I don't want my kids to end up like THAT. I'm not dissing the collectors, it's just a fact or marketing that visual impressions are lasting (even when inaccurate) - and millions of parents buying 5 figures each is a ton more than a handful buying 50.

So much useless hate...

I totally agree with you defpally.

Hey guys, just want to say thank you to everyone who has something positive to say. To the ones that dislike, well that's your opinion. It doesn't bother us anymore. I guess it comes with the territory unfortunately. Some people see us getting things in the mail or being featured on Skylanders videos... we have no idea why that would make anyone not like us, it's not like we can control that or ask for it to happen. We have not and will never, ASK FOR ANYTHING, in fact, we are very opposite, we like to GIVE, and fans know that about us, with over 35+ contests in one year, 95% of which came out of our own pocket. We were big Skylanders Fans before youtube, we had every retail character and game with our own money. Since Youtube, sometimes Activision send extras for contests, but seriously, ask the 3 fans who received Purple Skylanders if they are mad Activision sends toys? The opportunity to win some of those items wouldn't of otherwise happened. We are a normal (loosely used, haha) family, my kids & I are not trying to be celebrities. A lot of people ask why don't you do regular hip hop outside of Skylanders, Skylander Dad? The answer is, I don't want to, I'm a family man, I do everything revolved around my children and I'd rather make fun kids music that people want to watch than to try and be famous through music which would then result in being away from my Family and children, at least here they are involved in everything I do. I'm not trying to get myself or turn them famous, this is fun, family life and we've been doing this for years before Skylanders. I would never want to be on a reality show or do anything that would alter my children from having a normal childhood life. They are constantly reminded, if ever you don't want to do the Youtube channel, just let Daddy know. This is just in case they ever think they have to, but they love it and look at me like I'm crazy when I say that, but as a Dad, my kids are far more important than Youtube views and they are constantly reminded of that.
We as a family (maybe besides Skylander Mom) enjoy Skylanders collecting & playing the game. Kids are kids, they ask for a million things and I promise you the answer is not always yes. There is a balance in our house. Not with Skylanders of course but that is something that I enjoy with my kids so they are just lucky lol. Skylander Dad has been a collector for a long time, I used to collect Snapple Bottle Caps when they had fun sayings under the lid.

Anyways, there's a little look into my thought process, not sure if it was necessary or if I should of said anything at all, but hey, why not. It's the truth.

.... By the way,

Tomorrow is our 1 year anniversary since we put out our first video, to say thanks, we are giving away 1 WiiU starter pack (with FR instead of WB though, 1 LC HEX (on FaceBook), one Tower of Time pack and one Nitro Magna Charge/Rattle Shake pack. Of course there can only be 4 winners, but it's better than nothing, right? Good luck to those who play and appreciate the opportunity. We can't make everyone a winner. It's the least we can do and we enjoy giving, especially during this awesome time of year.

We wish everyone a happy turkey day and happy holidays.

Thanks guys!

Skylander Dad, I'm sure you could have given away 1,000 E3 Hot Dogs to random members and someone would still find a reason to disapprove... Keep up the good work!

Cheers, guys. Congrats on your success!

I know, it's a never ending battle trying to figure out why, when you, yourself are not that way.
That's when ignoring becomes the best thing to do.

I approve of this message

In fact I actually am thinking about sending you guys Wind Up (May buy an extra once he is out) just because you guys aren't corrupted by fame like most youtubers.
I hope your videos stay pure of fame corruption for years and years and centuries (ok maybe not centuries but you get the idea )

I would love to give back to you guys just because you give us so much to watch and replay over and over.

I even visit your other channel on occasionally because you guys are the best.


P.S. If I do send the Wind Up I will make sure to name it "Windumup" as a gift from me to you guys

Congrats on your first anniversary! Hope you make more great videos for your fans~. :3

You guys were one of the two youtubers that got me truly into the Skylanders series. The other was wdrumz, but this isn't about him right now. Anyway, I can understand a tiny bit why people have so much hate for you, but, you guys are just a normal family that happens to make YouTube videos that a lot of people watch (me included), and I agree with you that you never ask for things, and you definitely didn't ask to be in that commercial. Technically, they broke the law, unless they asked you if you wanted to be in the commercial and you said yes.

Hi Skylander Dad no #1 fan here really no #1, i have been doing this since day one myself and i to am a father of a daughter and son that are just as frantic as your kids are in those videos my son watch them all the time and any video of you guys that he can. But like you said i can not always say yes to them they get the word No alot, Nut how i do wish i could say yes to everytime. I for one am excited for you and the kids being able to do the things you do, I wish i could my kids would love it just as much, my wife is just as yours also not to kin on the whole Skylander ordeal but does not mind because it is my way of being and doing things with the kids. Then she has her way and time she is with the kids it just works that way. If after all the holidays are over i would like to send you a extra "Frito Lay GITD Rattleshake to give away. Awhile back my son had read some of the post in here by mistake and had seen others were getting upset that I was winning these and others were not and he said to me that he did not need one just for him and that him and his sister would share the 1 and that he would give it away on my facebook to someone that really wanted one. Since then my son suggested we give the extra one to you guys for a giveaway to someone that really has been trying to win one. Once I found out you were a member in this forum i figured this would be a good way to get in touch with you. So please if you would get back in touch with me through a PM please I would appreciate it.

Thanks, we wish your family and everyone a happy Thanksgiving day and happy holidays as well

Yes I, as a matter of fact, am jelleous. But what you said about him being intelligent just means that he knows that acting stupid will get you attention. And it's not the fact that he's a successful Youtuber that bugs me, it's the fact that he gets all the free stuff and exclusive footage.
