Here's the Creation Crystals that will come in the 8-Pack!

Nice find! Where's it from?

The link Zap posted back on the other page...

also.

I don't know about technology, but is it possible to hack or something to get images of the variants?

In addition to that previous also...

Nah, man!

Birdie's colors are different here...

The base looks rather different too...

Prototype!

Maybe. That's why there's no glass on the Crystals?

Prototype!

Prototype?!

The air symbol on Air Strike instead of the Brawler symbol! It has to be a prototype!

Anyone know how much the 8-pack of crystals is?
It just so happens that all the ones I wanted to make are there

about $49.99 usd

You have to give Activision credit this year for their combo pack deals. I think they're the best, in terms of savings, in the entire series.

Skylanders Sensei/Creation Crystal Combo Pack (20% off).
3-Pack Creation Crystals (17% off).
8-Pack Creation Crystals (38% off).

This is a lot better than the typical ~10% of past various combo packs.

Are you REALLY criticizing him for how he said it? Really?

Yes, because it could be construed as misleading.
It's important to explain it the simplest, most straightforward way.
"for now, yes", could be taken to mean that it has been stated that the original intent is that it will only be availiable to order pre-launch.
That they have no intention of producing more than is needed to satiate that population.
The harshness is necessary because when people get misinformed, they tend to spread that misinformation.

Oh my freaking god, Juarmo... Can you quit it with the whole "smarter than thou" attitude you have towards EVERYONE on this forum!? No one cares...

Omg bro, I'm just trying to make sure @DreamTeam doesn't get the wrong idea. I'm not correcting Chompy King because he was wrong (he wasn't, nor do I think he was), I'm correcting him because he chose his words kinda poorly.
I wasn't correcting his grammar or vocabulary, but was simply trying to reiterate his words more concisely.
They were subject to misinterpretation.
No need to flip your gosh darn lid.
The past few days, I've tried to not make posts in arrogant tones, reread my own words before hitting send, because I don't want to say or do things I'll regret.

TLDR:Can I quit it? Apparently not, cause this was me TRYING to quit it.

Kinda hate how these are all from Swap Force.

They are placeholder images.

I wish they'd properly announce what these triple packs that consists solely of Swap Force characters are for.

Are they starting a new "Skylanders: Classics" product line or something? Unfortunately, while I like many of the characters being included, they're the ones you can find super cheap online, or even brand new in triple packs for $5 at Five Below. So... attempting to move inventory even further with repackaging?

Asking more than $10 would be a total rip-off, unless they feature something new.

That's what's been bothering me too. I get what they are going for, but with Gamestop's used Skylanders and Ebay, I don't see why they would need to make these. Maybe if it were the less produced Trap Team then that would have totally made more sense,but this? There has to be something to make this needed to exist.

They could have a new base, or even a new power, but as any of that is most likely not to happen they might unlock some parts which are from those figures (like Senseis do)

Maybe they're following the dates from the listings online? We were saying that those where incorrect at the time, so maybe that's the case. Though I'm not sure how likely that is. I could be completely wrong of course.

I just don't see Toys R Us, one of the leading toy retail chains in the business, getting their release dates mixed up because they accidentally followed some rando online store's dates. Skylanders would tell them upfront about when to release what

As someone who has worked in both retail and data entry, I think the most likely reason for the release dates all showing as day one is that they needed to enter a release date to set up the item SKUs, so they copied and pasted from the main listing.

At this point, this information we've seen is all supposed to be internal; random people on the internet (e.g., us, the peeps on this message board) really shouldn't know about it. Once they get more official information from Activision, they'll update the release dates for the relevant figures to ensure street dates are not violated.

I was watching this video and noticed two axe silhouettes in the weapon menu (at 5:14 in the video), so Swashbucklers will probably be able to use either axes or swords (although it appears that there won't be many axes to chose from). Not sure if this has been noticed before.

There's also a Ninjini Chest at 3:16.

There is allso double trouble head, so probobly there are parts based on other skylanders

Awesome, I've been expecting some double axes coz it's a pretty common game weapon, but it's nice to have some confirmation.

I've also seen Blackout's tail a few times, and Spyro's tail also appears (but is renamed).

I think i saw splat face

I can't watch the video at the moment. Have their been any sightings on cloud-themed parts, maybe even a cloud swashbuckler tail?

Why would you put Ninja Stealth Elf in a 3 pack?

There's only 12 or so swashbucklers tails in the demos so far and they all seem to be snake/ long like.

But that doesn't mean there's not many more. The ninja/ fairy tail on the constellation selection screen where you pick to be a swashbuckler doesnt seem to be their yet, aswell as the extra stuff like fish tail we've seen in past trailers.

I assume they arnt updating the demo again This close to release. we probably won't know the extent of the total parts until the full game has been given out to major reviewers that get it just before release sometimes .

it might sound crazy but what if there is anthor origin level? not just any origin, but trigger happy origin?

That website also shows the Gold Imaginite Chest from a new perspective (though in low quality):


I like the handle on the side.

Also seems to be another prototype packaging. The Imaginator in the corner matches that on the prototype Dark Edition packaging we saw way back.

can they please edit the board and put Blaster-Tron

I hope that's his hometown, because he's the only one of his kind that we know of and that would be... Unsettling.

Yeah, that's definitely a prototype: the fact it says "Element-Air" instead of "Brawler-Air" makes me wonder if Battle Classes for Senseis were planned since the beginning or not.

Jus a really minor nitpick, but am I the only one bothered by how the Earth Crystal inside the Gryphon Park Observatory Adventure Pack has a perfect mold for Tech?
Hope there'll be a better one released as a single.

Buckshot.....

Which mold? The crystal itself, or the casing? Because we've seen a Tech Crystal with the same casing (on the pop-up shop display).

SCL Matt posted an article on the complete Wave 1 list, if anyone's interested.

The casing, Nightmoon.

I know, but I'd hate to buy two identical casings for Tech and Earth, and that one comes with the Adventure Pack sadly.
That's why I'm hoping for an even better Tech casing, since that Earth one still fits its Element nicely.

Tech also comes in the same mold as the fire crystal in the starter pack, which suits it pretty well too, but then you have to find another good mold for fire. It can be a never ending cycle .

I wouldn't advise trying to fit a perfect mold to each element if you only want to buy 10 crystals in total . It can get screwed up by " rare" molds etc.

GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE! According to Vavache.fr, the decided to finally listen to the fans and allow the crystals to be resettable!

I think there is a misinterpretation of the facts. Once a Skylanders created, you can subsequently change its appearance and carcatéristiques with customizable items you unlock, but you can not change its class. However, if you completely remove the data from the crystal, you can create a new class that you want.

Hopefully that'll be true, but considering how adamant Reiche was about it in the Gamereactor interview, I will remain sceptical (though hopeful) about the issue.

To be fair, he was probably just told to defend it at the time by Activision. Plus, come on... it's a reset button. That's like, a week's worth of programming at the most? It's totally possible to have it implemented in time

Huh... Well, I guess that controversy's over... Maybe...?

I'm guessing you can only reset after claiming ownership of your Imaginator, then?

It definately is, and though Vavache is trustworthy, we might want to wait for more sources to be sure.

So it looks like the legendaries changes to red and gold.

THAT'S WONDERFUL!

I assume you do it like every Skylander that ever existed and hit the reset button in the Options menu.

I figured. Probably in the creation menu.
