The quest was about a family reunion, couldn't do it because I didn't have Buzzer Beak. Pretty sure it's not much content.

Very nice! I do like that Trap Master packaging.

Not sure why that video's max res appears to be 360p, will mention it to Andy

Was i the only one waiting too see if andy was gonna put blades on the portal because it would work and also on the back of the adventure pack it says unlocks new challenges

Looks its says enemies to conquer and new challenges

Ditto! I just thought it was like that for the pop-up store. I kind of want to buy a bunch of duplicates of them and keep them in the packaging forever.

I raged when he didn't.

I wonder what the 60+ skylanders is all about. I wonder if they're counting variants as part of this number because the poster we saw only had 57 characters.

very nice! should've put blades on the portal!

Maybe it's because we're still missing a few reposes.

Like Ghost Roaster and Boomer.

Probably includes Eon's Elites

All this stuff has got me all hyped up!

wow
much stuff
very hype

Actually, about that whole "New challenges and enemies to conquer"......it's got me thinking. Maybe there will be trap able enemies in the adventure packs? Also, that would explain why there are some enemies still missing.

((This isn't my full theory, PM me if you want to hear everything I have to say about it))

Great video, thanks for posting!

I wouldn't make much of that "new challenges" line. It just sounds like marketed verbiage to me.

krypt king in box looks awesome!

Honestly, it probably just means that it unlocks a new level, or it might also unlock new arena fights, like the Sheep Wreck Isles adventure pack did.

It does seem likely that the adventure packs have their own villains to trap, just like the unique items/Swap Zones/etc of the previous games. Holding them back from the poster adds to the hype. And we all love hype.

Double paywall activated. I hope they let us know who is in there...hopefully people won't be forced to buy the adventure pack to capture/play as one of their "most wanted". I hope it's secondary and tertiary villains.

niice!

so that must mean no screamers on day one...

It's most likely one of the secret villains. I recall one of the achivement pictures had someone who resembled a Moai head - and the packaging for the Nightmare Express has several of those in the middle picture. Hopefully the Starter Pack poster actually has their names so we can just compare the placement to know who's in which AP, but it's definately villains which weren't revealed yet.

The Hand of Fate looks a lot like the hand trap mold.

That's sad about yhe screamer. They always seem to save the best till last.

What are screamers?

A mould of trap called the screamer

this one...

I find it interesting that they covered the backs in duct tape, considering it wouldn't have been hard to peel off. And also since they showed the poster already.

It is weird but it possibly has something to do with Frito lay characters names.


Also I looked at Blades card and I saw poor Power and Luck and good Defense and Speed. Though it has nothing to do with the game it may hint that Blades will be similar to Zap. Weak but quick.

I tried to pull it off gently, but it didn't work, sorry It would have destroyed the packaging.

.....i may have a new favorite.

New Trap Team overview video by the SkylandersGame channel. It includes Blades gameplay!

You'd think Blades would be actually pretty strong for someone with razors in every end of his body, but a fast tank is hardly a bad idea.
And that amateur camera cutscene looks pretty hilarious already even without the voices(though the context is less than funny).

Let's not go that way. I mean that Blades probably cuts everyone that does so much as bump into him on accident, you'd think that means he's a good fighter. But it could always mean he's better at countering attacks rather than starting them himself.

Blades is the Edward Scissorhands of Skylands?

Speech. A couple hundred lines of code for a single character in a video game would be impressive stuff

Wow.
Over 175 possible lines of speech for each villain is very impressive.
It solves the annoyance of characters constantly repeating the exact same line over and over again

That is impressive. Just the feat to write that amount of dialogue, get 40 voice actors into a studio, record it, mix it, etc...and then develop the code...definitely. The process of getting it is more impressive than the results actually. If only we had done this for each skylander

G-g-guys... You might want to re-read what I wrote. I was saying that 175 lines of code for one character would be impressive as in; much less than I would expect.

Well, they were talking about dialog in the video, and yeah, 175-200 lines of dialog is actually impressive.
