As of June 8th the time for E3 is around the corner and I wanna start speculating on what could possibly be at E3. Maybe we will finally get a Crash Bandicoot.
Thoughts?

Predictions-

3 senseis, with at least one of them being one of the mystery 4
One new villain, with official Wolfgang and Pain Yatta reveals
A guest star announcement, hopefully crash
More crystals
Gameplay galore
An exclusive crystal is the most likely thing, but I'd love if they made a golden queen variant with a chromed gold paint. A nice reference to the first e3 variant (chrome silver spyro)

The Name of the Air Sensei.

Plus two new characters.

• Reveal of the Water Sensei and one we haven't seen yet.
  
• Some new live gameplay of the first chapter.
  
• New element and class for Imaginators showcase
  
• Wolfgang gameplay and probably another villain (Pain-Yatta?)
  
• new body parts/confirmation for old Skylanders' parts.
  

• Some more details about the games plot
  
• Gameplay of a new chapter
  
• Reveal of a few more Sensei's
  
• Gameplay of a few Doomraiders
  
• More info on character creating and crystal storage.
  

• Reveal of a Air, Water, Life, or Fire character, plus two characters we haven't seen.
  
• Another level, and the Jet-Vac level.
  
• The new portal, since it was confirmed that were getting a new portal.
  
• More classes instead of just Smasher.
  
• More information on Imaginite Vault.
  
• More villain gameplay with two more villains or just one, which is Wolfgang with another villain or just Wolfgang.
  
• One or two more Creation Crystals that will be used at E3, meaning more that would be in Wave one.
  

I expect larger than life Skylander statues like always...but of who? King Pen and Golden Queen perhaps as they usually go with the pack in starter characters for their statues?

What I'm hoping for

• Information on Skylanders we don't know of yet
  
• A full demo of the Jet-Vac level
  
• Revealing all 11 Doom Raiders
  
• Confirmation whether or not there will be a guest star
  
• An Exclusive Event Edition toy for the game
  

We do have confirmation of a guest star reveal at e3

Pretty much this, but I think only Kirby, but if we get more of them that'd be cool.

EDIT: When is E3 even happening?

ANOTHER EDIT: Not trying to kill the mood, but pretty sure I heard somewhere that Crash is no longer owned by Activision, so there can't be Crash.

^ E3 is in June 14-16, dude.

Activision still owns the rights to Crash Bandicoot. Sony announced that a month ago. Crash Bandicoot can be a Skylander, if Activision ever did anything with him.

Confirmation that old Skylanders unlock special body parts.

• E3 2016 Trailer
  
• More Skylander NPC Reveals
  
• A bit of Skylanders Academy sneak peek
  
• Some new Senseis
  
• Few other Doom Raiders
  
• Guest Star

So much this!

E3 Trailer
At least a new level featuring a returned favorite
At least 4 New Senseis

NEW PORTAL FOR GOODNESS SAKE!

STOP. WITH. THE. GILL. GRUNT. JOKES. THEY AREN'T FUNNY ANYMORE.

I agree 35, unless if he is an NPC like .

Also, I am also hoping for the Fire, Air, Life and Water Senseis, Wolfgang, Painyatta, and maybe a few more faces; both old and new.

Especially since they OUTRIGHT CONFIRMED there would be NO returning characters aside from the villains, meaning NO GILL GRUNT FIGURE.

Chances are, if hes apart of Season 1 of Skylanders Academy, then yes, he will be a NPC. But only if hes in Season 1 of Skylanders Academy.
I hope we get to see at least one Light and or Dark sensei, but that's a very low chance.
When did we find out about Nightfall?

Gill Grunt is a season 2 character, Eric already deconfirmed him in S1.

So this means Gill Grunt won't be an NPC of Imaginators?
YAY

Well,TFB can still cheat, but he won't have any personality to draw from. It's stupid to waste development time writing with Eruptor and everyone else around already.

So, who's CONFIRMED to be apart of Skylanders Academy Season 1?
Spyro, Stealth Elf, and Jet-Vac? Is that all we know?

Tweets are long gone, but Spyro, Stealth Elf, Jet-Vac, Eruptor, Roller Brawl, and tentatively Pop Fizz because his VA was listed. Knight Light was mentioned but not said which season.

Kinda regretting not quoting him all the time,we had no idea then that he'd have to delete EVERYTHING due to NDAs.

Knight Light? OH MY GOD THAT WOULD BE AMAZING. PLEASE BE SEASON 1...
I don't think so sadly
But glad Roller Brawl will be a NPC!

I just want Hex to be one so she can scold us the RIGHT way(looking at you Mags and Headwick) throught an entire level and do cool unspeakable horror spells. But Eric got the NDAs as soon as we started asking him about her D:

No point in telling him that, tried it already. He doesn't listen.

Reveal Spoiler

What i'd really like is if they just flat out handed out creation crystals. Not variant ones- regular crystals. The element you got would be randomized- but people who play the game could use that crystal to make their own character at e3, and expand on that character when the game comes out... just an idea!

expanded on this

Crash Bandicoot at Sony Press Conference

5 New Characters (Wolfgang, Painyatta, Tree Guy, Torch 2.0 and someone else that hasn't been revealed)

More In-Depth Look at the Creator

Full Playthrough of Jet Vac's Level...

And hopefully some more minor details about the game's structure

Kirby, Meta Knight and King Dedede skymiibo

kirby got a new game and amiibo set just released, this won't happen and you may find the last two mentioned to be added to that set for his new game. In all due honesty I wouldn't bother asking for any more sky amiibo, it's just not going to happen since we know what the wii u starter is and there's no 3ds or wii starter. the fact there's a special ps4 starter hints at the only guest of crash this year. Most choices people keep saying on sky amiibo need to realize most nintendo shot down on ever being a part of skylanders. they went for characters that could easily fit in, that's the only reason why bowser and dk got in. There's almost 0% chance anyone else will ever get one again.

That's actually a brilliant idea. Nice thinking!

Updated predictions:

Crash Bandicoot guest star reveal, possibly to coincide with a new game.

Showcasing some new Senseis, as well as Wolfgang and possibly Pain-Yatta.

A look at the main hub.

Possibly a new level.

More details on and options for character creation.

Announcement/tease of legendary variants.

Could still be a possible place holder.
Just as they confirmed that we are getting a brand new portal not the portal we've been seeing on the boxes.
When Superchargers was first announced and up for preorder we saw the same box as every other console. It was a while until they finally announced Donkey Kong and Bowser.

The placeholders have always looked like this, though...





When have they used a full packaging shot as a placeholder? Plus, before the Slymiibos were announced. The Nintendo Starter Packs looked like that. The Wii U Starter Pack has the whole thing on it this time.

thanks :3

knowing acti, we'll probably get some "SOOPER SPORKLEE VARINAT" crystal with exclusive mods (because screw the public, that's why) but hopefully it'd still be able to hold a character. Since i'm going to SDCC, i hope i can mess around with the creator in some way (i'll of course give you all the lowdown) and if they hand out a crystal with exclusive mods i'd be like "Screw the mods, i wanna make a foxy grandpa beta!"

If you feel ok to do so go to qvc.com and type in superchargers look at their spots for wii and wii U.
now the boxes don't say Wii or Wii U on them but still this was a place holder.
It's not the same because it doesn't have Wii or Wii U on it
Still one point I had was that once again the boxes shown have a picture of the swap force portal which we aren't getting.
Now while I'm not 100% up to date sounds like it's confirmed Playstation is getting an exclusive character, yet we don't see this on the PS4 boxes either.

Not saying we are actually getting Link that's just a fan dream of mine and since it's the only game nintendo really is promoting with their E3 this year. But i'm still taking what we've seen of Imaginators even the box with a grain of salt.

But it's different because Acti already confirmed these are all placeholder boxes on all consoles.

Because the PS4 "Crash Edition" is separate from the normal PS4 starter

• Crash Bandicoot PS4 edition Revealed
  
• New Crash Bandicoot Game
  
• Kaos Sensei available from launch as a Pre Order exclusive
  
• Blind Bags (chests) similar to DI Power Disc for exclusive Imaginator Parts

Hmmm, not sure if predictions or you're telling us what has a high likelihood of happening. Either way, I'm pumped to see Academy. Also, I'm sure jasoninquires wouldn't mind a little blind bag action from Skylanders, either. Anything gameplay wise, or is it just all the same?

Considering Eric implied Academy is past test audiences already(he mentioned being proud that kids got his jokes), that's likely.
