The minis just seem like reposes that appear in game to me. What's the difference between a regular spyro and spry? Seems like they have the same power sets available. Maybe that is why there are so few reposes this year

No difference, except the mini's have one small area in the academy full of coins.

So far, the only Minis I like are Spry, Drobit, Breeze, Whisper Elf, and Eye-Small.

^ahh, come on, what about the ever so cute bop

How many of these topics do we need

Minis are faster, and they acess a area in the academy library, and their cute,

Mini's are faster?

Oh yeah, giant minis are faster...

I actually like the Minis more than reposes...
I know reposes have a Wow Pow but the Minis are so cute and cuddly and... FLUFFY! Oh wait, most of them aren't fluffy at all

The Minis Are Probably This Year's "Reposes" Beside The Others.

Bop master race!

Is Terrabite invulnerable while digging? At all? It seems like all kinds of things (that Terrafin was completely unaffected by while underground) force Terrabite to pop out of the ground and take damage. If they completely removed his digging untouchability, he's pretty much useless! Very disappointing.

i think all the terrafin types had their invulnerability while underground taken away in trap team.

Had to be an oops. that's the ENTIRE point of that move.

That's really lame, but it's consistent with the vast amount of other details that seemingly support an attempt by TfB to slow down the gameplay in Trap Team.

Minis aren't reposes...at least with reposes, you have a Wow Pow move. Activision has really diversified their money-making scheme...with the illusion of less reposes, they're making bank on minis, traps, variants, new elements, and Eon's Elite. It'll be very interesting how much plastic they'll be pawning off on us fans with the next game...it keeps increasing with each game without any real addition of wow factor in the actual gameplay or increase in content.

After I learned that the Minis function just like their original counterparts, I thought it was a neat idea. I don't mind that there's nothing special about them since they have their own unique little models. And I think the variety between the types of Skylanders is pretty interesting now — you can have a mini with a Giant/Trap Master for hilarious juxtaposition or an original Skylander with its Mini form to make a cute fighting team!

(And hey, could anyone tell me if they've seen the Breeze/Pet-Vac packs out yet? I'm really dying to get one of those!)

Yes i have seen Breeze/Pet-Vac combo pack in Toys R Us ...im in Tennessee.

Personally I love mini's. They make me laugh. Especially Hijinx. There are several Skylanders I'd love to see as minis. Warnado, Wham-Shell, Camo, Cynder, Flame Slinger, Voodood and Boomer, Flashwing, Skorp, Star Strike, Spot Light, Black Out and Wallop...just to name a few.

Sure, that, and the possibility to damage enemies with your fin, go faster, jump out and do a slam.

It is a big problem, however.
Could we just have the same character we bought in SA, Giants and SF for al the games...?
Thanks.

At this point, haven't we all come to the conclusion that, with some exceptions, the figures are usually most powerful within the game in which they were released? Gill Grunt demolishes everything in SA, but is practically unplayable in Swap Force, imho. The Swappers are barely bigger than the minis, in Trap Team; it's kinda hilariously pathetic. I'm at the point now where I rarely use a figure outside the game it came out for (except Giants and backwards compatibles, of course).

It makes sense that Terrabite's ability had to be removed. Otherwise, you could use up a villain timer and then switch to invincible mode until the timer refilled. And yes, that can be done with Ghost Roaster, but I believe they didn't nerf him for two reasons: he's still kinda rare, and his hp goes down enough that it's just not feasible more than once.

Surely there could have been a solution that didn't render Terra-everyone pretty much completely useless?

I love all the mini,s .........at least the available ones . I was wondering if they do less damage then cores ?
