Guys, just in case it got glazed over by some of the juicier conversation topics afterward, I'd like to tell you all that I've calculated that the full set (Variants, Amiibo, Revamps) will run you around $1,133 (USD)... This DOES NOT include the Secondhand price of Golden Hot Streak... Good luck getting away with that!

Who's gonna go with the 100% collection of Superchargers? another question who here owns 80% or more of all the figures released so far?

When not including chase variants, I have 100% of the characters, traps, and magic items released so far (this doesn't include yawn traps.).

Alright I totally love Pop Fizz and Trigger Happy's new moves. Now if we can only find the rest of the new ones.

So Trigger Happy touches his vehicle with his tongue to supercharge it... by the name of god, I hope that's the only thing he touches with his tongue.

Did anyone see Trigger Happy and Pop Fizz? ESPECIALLY TRIGGER HAPPY? Trigger Happy is awesome now! I can't even tell what his main attack is! I love the new Pop Fizz. I find it cool how when he turns into beast form he puts a bunch of colors on him. Gosh those 2 will be pretty sick reposes! Getting them for sure. I will get Eruptor but hes not the best. Pop Fizz and Trigger Happy are a lot better in my opinion.

That Eruptor video shows the supercharged burn cycle.

I hear he's somehow related to Gene Simmons.

It's funny how they apparently didn't show Double Dare Trigger Happy's attacks in action against enemies.

I mean... Ok that cannon move is probably an attack of some sort but they all really looked like stunts rather than proper attacks.
His supercharged vehicle is... Embarassing.

Pop Fizz... Well his beast for can change color, probably granting him different attacks, he can jump around inside a bubble and can shoot them and... That's it I think.
Supercharged Soda Skimmer is unsettling.

I think for Trigs it was intentional, considering his revamp is him as a daredevil or stuntman.
I like Pop Fizz, but yeah, I agree about the Soda Skimmer. Looks odd.

Supercharged Burn-Cycle didn't get much of a change. Disappointed..

But since the average customer is probably not an hardcore collector I guess it's safe to say Trap Team is generally consumer friendlier

When I think "consumer friendlier" I think "cheapest to let you access all the blocked off content in the main levels". I mean that's what the average consumer will care about when they think about getting to completely experience the main game (I mean, what kid likes to be told "you can't access this area"?). And Trap Team was the worst in that regard.

Anyone know what a vehicle looks like when two players are riding in it? Have we seen that?

I don't think two people ride it. 1 person drives and the other person shoots.

Actually now that I think of it, 2 people probably do ride! Hmmm

I would love to see Nightfall sitting in front of any other skylander while her hair gloriously hits his face

Oh my god i want to see that happen with Astroblast or Smash Hit

Nightfall: -hair blows in Smash Hit's face-
Smash hit: Uh can I drive?
Nightfall: Um No.
Smash Hit: But your h-
Nightfall: What?
Smash Hit: Your hair is kinda in my face
Nightfall: What were you saying?
Smash hit: Um just nevermind -gets out of car-
Nightfall: What was that about?

Lawl I think that would happen if Nightfall was driving

Eruptor doesn't do anything special but Pop Fizz and Triggs are incredible... But I think this will be moved to discussion

I agree, Triggs looks amazing, but Lava Lance looks absolutely awesome! Pop Fizz did not do much for me.

Well, I'm going to throw my $.02 in and say it's the cheapest. Not necessarily of the franchise, but compared to what else is coming out

I do admit I will have to see More Gameplay of Eruptor first. Plus he looks Stronger now. I wasn't a fan of the lava blobs but now I think I might enjoy him. Though I like Triggs and Pop Fizz better still


How did I not see this before?

Gosh i sure hope so!

Yess! New vid of Roller Bae!

Lava Lance looks a bit strange to me... Don't know what it is. Pop Fizz looks great and Double Dare... Eh.. Mediocre.

Thrillipede's backstory confirms he's a millipede: Not sure if it counts as spoiler, but just to be safe...)

WHOA! YOu got Rift to Overdrive?

Can you find Astroblast?

I really like how they kept pop fizz's beast mode that is what made the charcter also eruptor looks great aswell

Guess that makes sense.

Fiesta was hinting at that, but yeah,

No, they have backstories for all the new superchargers, except Astroblast and Nightfall.

Can you post Splat's?

Dark and Light getting the short end of the stick again ._. Thought they weren't hiding them since it's already on the website and everything.

We already know of Nightfall's backstory.

They could be doing something like in the Trap Team comics where they introduce them later.

What the heck! Why would they not include Astroblast and Nightfall? Thats so dumb!

Can you at least get Splat and Smash hit?

Quote: Bionichute

Can you post Splat's?

Sure!

Can you do Smash Hit's now?

Not sure where magic and the ghost/Stand thing play into that bacsktory, but it's not bad. It also introduces a new species since the 'typical' part implies that it's the stereotype. Which is pretty ironic since both fauns and satyrs were usually at the very least free spirits,if not outright chaotic tricksters.

Anyone know smash hits backstory

Ok, so someone thinks that this might be copyright infringement, can someone tell me if it is?

Nope,if the novel is out,you're free to say/show parts of what's in it. It's spoilers, not outright showing every page and every part of it for free. Acti isn't Nintendo or other companies to take action against spoilers.

Though I DID see people post the entire comics before and never get asked by Acti to take it down,so they might not care at all even if you post everything.

You paid money for it, and I think giving people information doesn't break any laws.

Nice backstory for Thrillipede and so he is a millipede. Too bad many are probably gonna be annoyed he did have a connection with Flynn and honestly I actually think that he looks more like an ant rather than a millipede. Still he is awesome and I seriously can't wait to get him.

I mean if they say it's copyright it's their own fault for putting that stuff in the comics. And plus Aura put the Return of the Dragon king part 1,2 and 3 on youtube and didn't get a copyright strike so your good.

Posting the comic itself is illegal. Sharing info about it is not illegal, unless Activision decides to break freedom of speech. These bios are gonna go up for free in probably a month, it's not a big deal.

Aura posted the whole Return to the Dragon King on youtube though.

That is illegal, and I'm surprised it hasn't been taken down yet.

Smash hit's:

Nice! Smash Hit's the weakest of them, pretty much Crusher and Dune Bug's combined, but way better than most SF stories of 'he had the thing and defended it from the guys'.
Feel free to post them on the news thread together,mega spyro,that's news alright so other people can see it more easily.

I like Smash Hit just being kind of an average joe with one unique skill that makes him good to be a Skylander. It's kinda cute.

I love his backstory! I HOPE THERES SO TYPE OF ARKEYAN CONQUERTRON BATTLE SO I CAN USE HIM

I approve of Splat's backstory. So we finally know that she's a FAUN. I guess it makes sense as we have Elves, Drows, etc. I thought she would be a goat girl because of Tuff Luck being a cat girl and other such examples.

And Trap Team was the worst in that regard.

You are absolutely right from that point of view but then I think:

- assuming I only own a Wii U I would have to buy at least another Starter Pack to also play as Bowser which would otherwise not be obtainable and we still don't know when Spitfire and Hot Streak will be released as singles (probably later waves) so my only change to get them would either be a useless PlayStation or XBOX Starter Pack or a Dark Edition (which I will still need since it's the only way to obtain a Kaos Trophy and no eBay is not an option for everyone).
Not to mention Dark Sea Shadow isn't even packed with her own pilot...;

- I cannot buy one of this year's "Adventure Packs" since I don't want a character I already own.
Those kinda of Packs were always packed with new Skylanders but they probably fear Deep Dive Gill Grunt wouldn't sell alone so better stick him inside a Racing Action Pack;

- playable villains and their vehicles are a great addiction but why exactly can't I unlock them using the traps I previously bought?
I mean... What if I simply wanted my to play as Golden Queen and couldn't care less about new tracks...?
Nope I buy the Trophy or nothing.

Those aren't really friendly choices either, right?

Let's put it this way, Superchargers is more cash friendly than Trap Team.

EDIT: Also, Superchargers has the second least amount of things you need to get for 100%, at around 6 separate purchases, while Trap team has the most at around 14 separate purchases.

not really if you want all it will be more if you don't use ebay
