"Inconveniences people"? You get it a single day later. What a tragedy. Europe often has to wait a month or two for wave 4-5 after its NA release. That is a hell lot more inconvenient.

[spoiler]Are you seriously still on about that? I just pointed out that the phrase originated as "couldn't care less", which is still the most widely used internationally, including in the US. The part about it originating in Britain was an insignificant side note, if it had originated in the US and was butchered by UK, it would still be butchering of an expression.

As for "tantrum", I'm not the one writing paragraph upon paragraph about a tiny little detail. You really do love going off on massive rants about insignificant little things.

P.S. I'm not British.[/spoiler]

I'm still on about it, but I wouldn't be if you didn't ignore me to begin with.
I had to paraphrase the previous post on the subject because I assumed you didn't see it, and I needed to give it context.
You're not British?
That's even worse, at least the British has an excuse, however flimsy, to complain about American's "butchering" the language, and the part where it's their language gives them the right to take it personally.
You're throwing a tantrum over someone ELSE's freaking languages, insulting one and praising the other... Why? Do you have a reason to rant on and on about a British term?
Do I need to tell you where the term "OK" originates? It's a British term that stands for Oll Korrect or Oll Klear.
The British butcher their own language far worse than any American ever did.

You know that your rant about that expression wasn't any larger than my average rant, right? Some of mine are a bit shorter, in fact.
Yeah, I get caught up in it all, but I realize it about myself, yet if you look back at your own posts, your "off-topic" spoiler blocks are over 10 lines of text, and comprise 80-90% of your posts and wouldn't be much of a stretch to say you're not much different in that regard, sweetheart!

And No, in this case, we wait 3 days longer than Europe, and 4 days longer than Auatralia.
Not to mention that the game takes a week or two longer to develop because they're developing for 6 languages, or the part where an American made game is likely being pushed back JUST so Europe can get it first for whatever reason.
I mean, it should be easy to release the American version, it probably starts in English, so why would America take longer?

And I'm sorry, but while I'm waiting those 4 days for Imaginators, I'll have nothing better to do than spend my time here, and I can't even do that whilst you're playing the game because some of you Europeans/Australians will end up spoiling the plot.
You have to wait 3 months for a playable character to release? One that comprises less than 1% of the potential roster? One that the game works perfectly fine without? It's three months you can spend playing one of over 100 other characters, or even an OPC made by you.
Not only that, but I'm jealous of your delayed releases, I'd have more time to save for everything after the Starter Packs if it was spread out a bit more. Not easy living on a budget!
That's not "a hell of a lot more inconvenient", it's not even inconvenient! It's just convenient!
The figures are worthless without the game, the game doesn't need all the figures!
So naturally, the Starter Pack is one thing, but being sold late sounds like it gives me more time to work the waves that are already released!
But the game is necessary to use the figures, as a starter pack, it's kinda a given that it's the starting point to the collection, so it cannot be seen as anything BUT an inconvenience.

Take a chill pill Juarmo. It's one or two days later. How big of an issue is it. At least you get a complete wave 5. Sometimes in Australia we don't even get a wave 5. It's just a few days if you don't want to get the plot spoiled just don't visit the site.

Anyway, back on topic - I can Imagine them doing double packs of Senseis, like they did with the SWAP Force back in 2013. Ooh, I'd love an Aurora/Starcast double pack! <3 Maybe that's what 'assorted' means?

That would be amazing. I still remember the Christmas Day when I unboxed the Grilla Drilla and Fire Kraken Double Pack. Ah the good old days of my childhood...

No one gets wave 5 anymore -.-

(Except Australia)

It's weird not to call it "Double" or "Triple", though.
Unless it turns out to be a placeholder name "Assorted" makes me think of 5 or 6 figures.

Kinda like the trap or Creation Crystals' 8 Pack.
I cannot remember right now, but maybe we've had similar packs for Cores in the past.

Or it could be just a thing on amazon itself where all Senseis are on the same site and you just click a name to get to the one you want instead of searching for it.
Basically like here:

Daily prayer for Grave Clobber to not be Brawler

Can we stop please?

Yeah, I'm on Buuzer's side here. at least the other "derailings" were somewhat related to Skylanders. Nobody really cares if it's "could" or "couldn't".

Ignoring the mods is fun!

The boy doesn't need to be fated to be a shelf warmer,c'mon.

I still have hope for him not being a Brawler, but Blaster Tron's blurry picture really seems to depict him holding a sword.

If only did they planned out Battle Classes better and finally let Light and Dark have as many new Skylanders as the classic Elements...

This, this so much.

I mean, I'm personally fine with it because of the whole "they are special and rare" thing, but even if they started releasing characters evenly Light and Dark would still have less Skylanders than the other Elements.

But this year is especially annoying, because not only did they added their symbols to the logo but they also had 10 Classes to manage.
SWAP Force had 8 movement types but only the 8 original Elements and they never had two types in the same Element.
Why couldn't they do the same here...?

@Juarmo

As for the release date, yeah that was my bad, I went off of your Friday/Saturday/Sunday comparison, instead of the actual release dates. Still, it's just 2 days (and 6-ish hours) after Europe, which get it 1 day (and 8-ish hours) after Australia. Not much of a wait. We've had to wait our turns too, so you don't have any reason to be salty now that the tables have turned.

Yeah... it really did look like it was going to be balanced, since the Bowslingers looked like Light and Dark Skylanders, leaving 2 spots for a Magic Quickshot (which would have been interesting) and a Tech Bazooker (which would have been a perfect combination). Oh well :/

Just got news from a friend who went to gamestop here in Germany today. They have a new variant in their system called "Steel Hood Sickle", unfortunately no pictures available. He was able to preorder him

I'm really looking forward to see the figure

A standard variant? That sounds like a chase variant name. Either way can't wait to see it.

Must be standard, Gamestop here in Germany does not sell chase variants seperately

It wouldn't have its own name so soon if it were; unless someone misnamed Steel Plated instead of just Steel.

I disagree, having less light and dark Skylanders is part of what makes them special. Also, really cool designs, and I fear that a big part of that is due to having to make less of them...

@Nightmoon, you stopped mentioning it after your second post
Also, you don't normally come off as a jerk, what the heck happened to you in the past couple of days?
You're being almost as abrasive as I am!
That's not a healthy disposition, I'd know.

@Buuzer. Ok, I'm done.
Oh cool, another Best Buy Variant?
Guys, I'm pretty sure Nitro was Target's thing, not Walmart's. For those of you who have TESCO (going off memory, is that name right?) instead of either of those. Mystic(?) was Walmart's thing. Idr which one did Jade tho.

On day 1 of release of the waves im going to try and get kaos and starcast as quickly as possible because im guessing EVERYONE is going to try get those then probably going to get tae kwon crow and another random skylander

Guys just saying, instead of arguing in the forum so Buuzer has to go on a moderating spree, why don't you two PM? Seems like a better idea.

Anyway, on topic, does anyone else think Hood Sickle's a bit... slow? In both move speed and attack?

Yay! I really wanted to see a Hood Sickle variant!

Because I'm done! I'll just block her if she tries to continue it over a PM.

Anyway, on topic, he's still WAAY better than he was in Trap Team.

A Variant for a Darklander? Take my money!

Have you guys noticed it's three months since we first saw Imaginators info

but it feels like something is still missing

Yeah, it's weird. They haven't revealed the Air Knight's name either (I know he's probably Wild Storm, but that hasn't been officially revealed). And since both of them were in the reveal trailer it's just kind of odd how we still don't know their names.

funny

how do i post an image from other post?
i think that she might be buckshot

I think she is buckshot! Judging by the meaning of the word!

"Large lead shot for shotgun shells, used especially in hunting big game."

Shotgun = Like Quickshot Guns

Shells = Do i really need to explain?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but no Skylander has ever had an actual shotgun of "assault rifle"-esque weapons, have they?

Triggs! (Closest we got!)

I would like to apologize for my earlier behavior.
It was completely uncalled for. I'm sorry.

It'll be forgotten by the next page, I'm sure ;3
Sorry I got a bit too aggressive towards you, though. Normally, I don't get that bothered.

As for Imaginators... the lack of news is pretty boring. At least there's just 6 weeks and a few days to release.

I really hope we get a full overview of all the different Crystal variations, so people can start planning for Crystal/Casing combos. At this point, I'm pretty sure we had a much better overview of the Trap designs. Would also really like to know which Crystal is included with Boom Bloom's Adventure Pack...

Steel Hood Sickle?

Already sounding like Steel Plated Smash Hit. I'm gonna pass...

That's not a variant, it's just an upgrade.

Wait, if it listed Steel Hood Sickle, do you think the Halloween Chopscotch was listed too? Wonder what her name is...

Maybe a GameStop Exclusive? Depends If Chopscotch Is There.

I don't think that was ever confirmed, at least as far as I know.
If anything I'd say it is likely to be a variant, looking at Halloween Chopscotch: the black Sensei dress, belt and weapon remained the same and only his body and armor changed.

But why was the "Variant" on regular Starcast's page?

Maybe it's just how he looks when he uses a certain attack? Sorry, I'm overthinking this.

She is also available for preorder, release will be in november... because we actually don't need halloween figures for halloween obviously. Frightful Fiesta was available after Halloween last year too -.-

Dunno who planned that nonsense ...

Is her name just Halloween Chopscotch or is it something else?

Quote: Luminous35

Was it?
I thought it was found on instagram.

Well, we've had LightCore images on regular character's pages, they might have made a small mistake because the variant's page isn't ready.
I wouldn't immediately exclude a weird lighting either, at least for the body: there is a picture where his body is a white tint fading to grey.

Guess they wanted to reflect his figure form's transparency.

The Starcast with appearance change is from his website page. It looks like an upgrade to me, if you watch the b-roll and the gameplay Myskylanders posted lighting acts weird on his textures.
