Since it seems that people are not getting different "personal" offers, I thought I'd start a thread to see what others are getting. It may not be helpful, since we can only get what offer is given to us, but I thought it might be interesting to see what others are getting. And if they keep it up, there might be hope (false as it may be )that we will get one of those offers.

For me, I got Southpaw at 50% off. Not a huge savings, since he was only 50, but still glad I waited to get him. Now, as long as he works, I'll be happy. I have had more bats, today, but that was before I bought him so we'll wait and see.

Yesterday I got Surfer Slambams house 25% off, today it was Gorm & Tuk 50% off.
Really hoping for more house deals since the personal ones never have been on sale before (from what I remember)

I never saw an offer, yesterday. Of course, I don't think I ever stepped through all my info screens, so maybe I just overlooked it. Today was the first time I saw it. So it looks like we get something different every day. Did you buy the house? If so, I wonder if you get a new one every day or only if you buy the other one. I would assume you get a different one everyday so you would jump on the current deal before it's gone. Definitely a great way to get us to spend our gems, since most of the time the things in the old daily sales were worthless.

My "Great Value" right now is Arbo for 50% off, and there's another info slide labeled "Big Savings" that gives me 50% off Sunburn (separately from all the fire Skylanders being 50%, unfortunately I don't get an extra 50% off the sale price... darn! lol)

It's like when they were offering 80% off Skylanders but still promoting 50% off bird Skylanders. I was kind of hoping the offers would stack

Every time I check the game I have to check/go through all info screens before anything else, OCD thing
I bought the house instantly and the screen disappeared. The screen from today (g&t) is still there though, even after buying them.

I really want many more of these house deals!

I had a deal for 50% off Air Shrines yesterday and Water Shrines today - the only two that elements that I didn't have at least 3 of. Hoping for better deals to come, but these weren't bad either. Looks like they're trying to get us to spend gems before the big holiday deals.

I had Bouncer's house 50% off and Tessa 50% off too. Just didn't have the gems...

I had 25% off bouncer's house today. I grabbed it.

I got one for Scorp the other day for 50% off. And that's it. I also have 50% off airships today and a gem pack offer but they don't have the format of the personal offer for Scorp.

The Airships offer must be a personal one - I don't have it.

I had 50% (150 gems) off in life shrine today (I need one to have three). I had already bought Softpaw the tuesday by 50 gems (I wished to spare 25 gems), but I think it's a good buy (yesterday afternoon and today I've had enough bats).

I have a 75% off an all the Swapforce and minituare skylanders.

25% off whisper Elf's house, did not have the gems(I had just bought Snowler Brawl's house)
Half price water shrine(21 shrines I will hold off for a better offer)

Yesterday: 50% off Legendary Stealth Elf
Today: 25% off Autumn Stump Smash's Hut

These hut/house sales are interesting me. They never go on sale, yet I'd hate to spend a bunch of my gems on one, afraid I'd miss out on something else. I'm trying to save enough for Snowler Brawl's house in case they have a timed quest next week. The same goes for QuickDraw RattleShake. By next week, I may have enough for both. I might even hold out for QuickDraw to see if he goes on sale like the Fire Skylanders did. Interesting to note that tomorrow is fire day when the sale ends. Coincidence?

I got Whisper Elf's house for 25% off but I had 338 gems banked & when I made the purchase for 262 gems it took the lot, I want my 80 gems back

Today, I have 50% off of Legendary Chop Chop and Undead Shrines.

25% off buddy wrecking ball house and 50% off life shrine

I got Tessa at 50% yesterday and then I just got a 300 gems + 20 wish stones for 1.99 USD in gem pack one.

This seems too good to be true? 75% off all Swap Force and Sidekicks is a really good offer for new players. Has anyone else gotten this?

Also, are these personal offers going away once the Holidays are over or are they here for good?

So far today I got ;

50% off Fire Shrines and 50% off Gigantus companion

I would really like a 75% off Sidekicks deal. Given I lost the codes for several I have, and have no way currently of getting new ones, being able to get them cheap would be nice. I hate not being able to use Whisper for anything, so I have sidekick at the ready for Chompy Pods.

Otherwise I've had a 50% off Ol' Mac staring at me and mocking me. Even at half price his gem cost is way to much for me at the moment.

50% off quigley 25% off firework zook's house

I got 50% Batterson, today...move along.

I also had Whisper Elfs house 25% off. This morning and when I clicked buy it took the whole 350 gems for it instead.
Seems these discounts don't work too well, people who buy expensive companions etc should be carful. Not too fun losing an extra 1500 gems on Tessa because discounts are broken.

I don't know if I will contact the support about my issue or not, it's not the ~100 extra gems I payed as much as the principle of these things bugging me.

You know, I didn't really pay attention when I bought Southpaw. I definitely would contact support about it. It is the principle of it. 100 gems, to me, is a lot. If I had lost 25 gems with Southpaw, I would still say something. If there is a problem, then they need to know. Enough people reporting it will get them to fix it. They're usually pretty good about finding ways to make up or fix the problem.

I've got 50% off Gill Runt. 75% off would have better, might have enough gems then!

My first personal sale was Wheellock for 50% off which I passed on then today it was half off Arbo which I went for. I oalready wn all the unique houses and all 123 Skylanders so I'm guessing my offers will be all companion/premium house based.

I had 25% off Crusher's house yesterday and 50% off water shrines today.

I am only getting (bad) offers for gems.

So some people get awesome offers and some people get crappy offers. Great system!

I hope your sarcasim detector just exploded...

I have 50% off Gorm and Tuk today. Pretty tempting. I have 3 swap force, 4 if Jade Fire Kraken is also affected even though he isn't listed as "Swap Force" he can take out the bats like swap force.

And if that 75% off swap force/sidekick deal is real, I'd be getting at least 2 more with the amount of gems I have.

Did you flip through all your info screens? I've been getting the gem offers and the other offer. If you're not getting the other offer, then you're missing something.

They don't all look like personal offers. They sometimes look like general offers we've received in the past but you're the only one getting them. For example I got 50% off airships the other day, using the same graphic they've used in the past for airship sales. But nobody else got that offer (or at least not everybody got it).

Today I have 50% off premium houses using the same graphic they've used for the last general sale and 50% off Gill Runt.

Last Super Tuesday was double hero points. However, if you time travel back to last Super Tuesday, what you NOW get is... a random double Tuesday. Double Gold, Double Kingdom XP, etc. You can keep travelling back and forth until you get the special you're after. If you travel back and forth WITHIN the day in question it doesn't change.

Wow they really want to stop peeking ahead.

And then Woz finds an even better option: custom Tuesday Plus you have given me an idea...

P.S. we need a new forum or need to start using PMs for some topics....

It should be easy to create a new section, only visible to certain members. Done that several times as a mod/admin on other sites.
If it happens, I would like to have an invite

Don't some of the mods/admins have ties to Activision though?

I have 50% off fire shrine and 50% off Gorm & Tuk today.

Just past midnight here, and my deal today is Swarms house 25% off, but since the two other houses I bought on discount charged me full price, I'm kind of turned off sadly :/

Well.. no, but there are several Activision employees on the site, and a Toys For Bob representative on here. Advisor_Orville is an Activision employee.

There is a massive unintended consequence of this patch that is quite awesome. Think hard. Be creative and then enjoy.

Yeah, I can't think of it, either.

Edit: Now that I think about it, does the offer change if you switch back and forth between days? Or does it keep with the same offers you had on that day?

hmmm that's an interesting thought

I was getting rubbish offers until it offered Thumpback's house at 25% off. I understand that those houses are hard to get, so was happy to snap it up!

I got the offer of Eye Brawl's house, yesterday, but I already had it.

I decided to do a little time travel to see how it affected the offers and it does change your offers when you go back and forth. Funny thing was that I got one offer for Tessa for 25% off and did it again and got her for 50% off. So the offers can change.

Also of note, I went ahead and jumped to Jan 1 to see if the wishing well glitch happened to come back. The answer is Yes, but not how it used to be. When I jumped ahead, I got Roller Brawl in my wishing well. But when I came back, she's still there. So whatever you get as a grand prize in your well when you jump ahead is what stays there. I'm not sure if you'll get another prize if you win and try again. I would try it, but I purchased Roller Brawl for my son's Christmas, so I don't want to waste the stones on her. If it was something else, I would probably go for it.

You know what else if funny. I've been going back and forth to see what deals I can find, but not really sure which deal to settle on. I would buy a house for 25% off, but not even sure who's I'd want. So far, I've gotten offers on houses for Autumn Stump Smash, Fireworks Zook, Crusher, and Whisper Elf, plus houses for Eye Brawl, Buddy Wrecking Ball and Ninjini (all of which I already had). I can't afford them all, and I want to save some gems in case they have a timed quest for Snowler Brawl's house or Quickdraw Rattle Shake. Which houses are you looking for and why?

Force cloud backup/peform device backup
Airplane mode
Spend stones
Time travel to past date
Launch game in past
Exit Airplane mode
Launch game - get prompted to use local save or cloud save

I admit I wouldn't want to take this risk at the moment, but the above steps should work.
