i wonder when any new skylanders are going to be announced? there are still 8 skylanders that we dont even know what they look like, and it just gets me more hyped thinking about it

I think the Imaginite Chests will be officially revealed tomorrow.

Are we sure that this Starcast figure isn't the Legendary version? Those figures are always gold and metallic blue.

Why would they reveal the variant before the real figure...

Because Legendary Starcast is a Wave 1 release exclusive to Toys R Us and they don't have any figures with his final luminescent purple paint job yet. I just feel his color scheme is way too much like a legendary figure to not be a legendary figure.

speaking of Starcast what wave is he in? also will he be still released day 1 because i think fist bump was wave 2 and he was out day 1

EDIT: for anyone who hasnt seen yet here is the picture for closeup of air strike and his adventure pack, he looks like the size of chopscotch which is a BIG surprise

Remember Krypt King?

Starcast is most likely wave one as he is on the display shelf with other wave one figures

I really see no other way of balancing the Battle Classes except with the predictions I made above.

Which is precisely the point.
If the Bowslingers end up being Tech/Magic instead of Light/Dark... Guess which Classes end up with 1 extra?
Sorcerer and Brawler: the guest stars, same as the elements.

The ones that end up short one would be two related classes, Quickshot and Bazooker, both gun users. Much as the elements that end up short one are related, Light and Dark.

There happens to be a similar correlation between Nature (Life) and Industrialization (Tech), as well as Mind(Sorcerer) and Matter (Brawler), the elements/classes that would get extra.

Do we have any close ups of Air Strike yet?

I missed it, what exactly do the Imaginite Chests do?

CRAP. How do I make it a public file??

Chompy Mage has a staff not a bazooka I hate people say he is a bazooker or brawler

Well excuse me. Then how could he have another class without another Villain ending up with a Battle Class that shares it with another Sensei of their element?


Alright. It's a shareable link. Can you guys see it now?

Haven't you listed Bad Juju twice? Although I can't tell very well because Google docs don't load well for me.

I don't think that's been confirmed yet.

Give Imaginator pieces. We don't know how many or how they'll be packaged

Wave 1

Yes! Thanks for the info, cool so i can get him wave 1. Think Mysticat is wave 1 too so ill probably get them aswell HYPE

Here us go,

You can hear Hood Sickle's theme too, yay!

This line-up is fine for the most part, except your sentinels are Ember, Barbella, and Bad Juju, despite it already being confirmed that Hood Sickle is the villain Sentinel and that Juju was leaked to be a Swashbuckler. Plus also the possibility that she might get an element switch like the other non-Doom Raider villains.
Still betting on Smasher Chompy Mage and Bazooker Grave Clobber.

SHIP. I wasn't paying attention. I knew Hood Sickle was the Sentinel Villain...

Where was this shown?

Oh, great, Air Strike is a short one. I was hoping otherwise...heh heh...

I just realised that Dark and Earth don't appear in Single Packs, so they're exclusive to the Dark edition and Adventure Pack... great!

They'll probably be released in Wave 3, 4, or 5.

In wave 1 at least, they'll definitely be released separate later on.

Maybe exclusives during the first Wave? They can normally release it on Single Packs later.

Wait, what adventure pack is earth being released for? i kinda doubt its air-strike's one cause he is air

It's Air Strike's, look at the picture above.

Crap, he's right. Except that it's stupid to shaft 2 battle classes just because 2 elements were.

I won't disagree with you about shafting 2 battle classes being stupid, but I just want everyone to entertain the possibility, but if you think by deleting it immediately, I won't see the post, you're sorely mistaken.
What's more, your post was short enough for me to memorize it's contents.

I'd be ecstatic to be proven wrong. Light and Dark are my favorite elements.
But, i'm a pessimist at heart.
I cling firmly to the belief that if you keep your expectations low, and do your best to anticipate the worst-case scenario, only to be disproven, reality will surprise you. In a good way. But if you always think about the ideals, the reality will crush you.
Expect the worst, and reality can only be better than you imagined.
Expect the best, and the truth can only be worse.
You see the bumps in the road coming, you can brace yourself for them.

Goddamnit. How'd you see that in the split second I posted it? Argh. Anyways, looking at the list now, if we're going by your theory that two classes will get shafted, then I think Quickshot and Bazooker would be the shafted ones. Then again, I could be wrong on Pit Boss, who is probably the only new Sensei we know who doesn't have his class confirmed, so it could be any two classes.

didn't notice that before, lol
I wonder what that adventure pack is going to be like

EDIT: wait since they show the packaging for the adventure pack does that mean its being released in wave 1 or 2?

It's most likely Wave 1.

I really hope, (if the archers aren't Magic & Dark) that the Quickshot & Bazooker are girls so that every element has one for once.

Awesome, probably going to buy Starcast, Airstrike Adventure pack and Tae Kwon Crow on day 1

it seems like there is a girl for each element already, which is cool. Really like the look of Barbella and Aurora

Wait woah what?

Quote: Buuzer

SO YOU CAN BUY BOTH PATH FOR ALL SENSEIS? Hype.

Wait its for all senseis?


*Hype train combusts into flames*
Cant wait! this game is ALREADY even better than trap team, giants and spyros adventure combined!

What's the point of paths then?

Just something I thought of... Mainly because my Cuckoo Clocker theory has been debunked today (THANKS AIR STRIKE ).
What if Threatpack winds up being the Air Villain Sensei? I mean, he'd obviously fit the element, just make his jetpack an actual jetpack and not a hydraulic one and bravo.

Quote: Deja Vu

What's the point of paths then?

Probably going to be the same case as path switching in Superchargers, where it's a portal master reward or something.

i hope you really can get all paths instead of having to switch because then you could get upgrades for ALL of your skylanders which would be really good

Where did this come from? Can someone provide a link?

Quote: Buuzer

See both Kaos and Hood Sickle. You can see both path unlocked. And an upgrade on the top path (if I'm not mistaken is locked) is locked while you can buy upgrades from the top and bottom path.

hope this can also work for ALL skylanders so then i can have LITERALLY fully upgraded skylanders
>

Is there any truth to this article?

"The Kaos toy can only be purchased two ways. You can either pre-order the game and get the Kaos toy as a pre-order bonus, or you can try your luck and get the Kaos action figure for free if you buy the Starter Pack at major retailers within the first week of the game’s launch on October 13th…at least while supplies last. The exact details of how this free Kaos will work at various retailers remain fuzzy at this point, but Activision is hammering out the details."

Well that's pretty neat. I never liked choosing just one path, as I always liked one off each of them.

Oh, and I sure hope that it isn't the only way you can get Kaos. I need him!

So Kaos isn't getting a single release then?

I feel like that's to show off what the attacks are for the sake of the demo. Hood Sickle having one locked does raise suspicion. I don't know, I feel like both paths is a little much for Skylanders. If it's a Portal Master power then it'd be pretty insane. Some upgrades contradict others on the other path (Grilla Drilla) and some Skylanders would be way too much with both paths (Fire Kraken, Boom Jet, Pop Thorn)

Oh god. I just hope it doesn't mean ridiculous eBay prices, despite the fact that it's worth $14.99, as said.

Well, you need to switch Paths to use the powers, like Series 2/3/4 Skylanders. So it's not that bad. You just have the option to choose one without needing to reset the figure.

Right place, right time.
My laptop is a really good one, but had like 11 different tabs open, so there was a lag in being linked to a page.
By the time I returned to the topic, it must've been before you got rid of it, but after you posted it.
So when I got sent back to the topic when I made the post,
Then, I had been refreshing continually to search for replies and posts that caught my eye before they got lost in the sea of posts around that time.
I don't wanna miss a post from someone who's talking to me.
I was gonna wait to reply to it, but when I refreshed, the post i remembered reading afterward was in its place, and I couldn't find it anywhere the post you responded to, and at the time, there were no newer pages.
That's how I noticed it was gone in the first place.

My short term memory isn't good, if you hadn't kept it brief, i'd never have been able to reconstruct it that well.
I agree that Quickshot and Bazooker would be the shafted ones.
However, I can't fathom why those two would be, apart from them both being gun-users.

Atm, I've nothing better to do than talk imaginators.
The fall semester doesn't start til next week.
I'm trying to make sure I don't miss any interesting tidbits.

Like the return of Triple Triad
I love Final Fantasy

Then what's to differentiate that from just the path switching from SC?

For me it looks like the exact same thing. Maybe it can have some differences, but who knows...
