Kmart are phasing out their games department, they've had a huge clearance on Toys to Life in particular. Any exclusives they would have gotten will presumably be snapped up by Target now

I noticed the Kmart thing too. .Maybe jb hifi will pick up their exclusives . I might be wrong, but I think jb hifi was the only place to have the 8-pack of traps back in TT days . So maybe they'll get the 8-CC pack this year.

@B-BOB358

Really!

I spent ages looking for that thing!

I rarely ever go to JB Hi-Fi. If Kmart's supposedly pulling out, I'd better check there for any exclusives.

Big W's catalogue has been released for Aussies - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/269847

• $15 Senseis (Wave 1 only, but they have the exclusive on Legendary Tri-Tip who's also $15
  
• 9 Creation Crystals (Wave 1 only)
  
• $6 Mystery Chests
  
• $30 Gryphon Park Observatory Adventure Pack
  

No mention of Crystal Triple Packs or Wave 2 toys. Will be interesting to see whether EB does indeed get those at launch!

Wow where I live the starter pack is 89.99

Yeah definately. jB wa the only place I found the 8 trap pack and it only lasted a month or so, so definately check in occassionally .

That's really the only worthwhile thing I've ever found at jb, the only reason I check them regularly is coz back in Giants days... They were the first to get thumpback and eyebrawl lol.

some paint is missing....

Every mass produced toy has stuff like that. Every single one...

On top of that I don't really see where the paint is missing in that comparison...
Is it just because the figure is a darker orange in the package? Because that could just be lighting.

EDIT: I just noticed, it's because the rings on her gloves aren't silver...
DEAL BREAKER BOYCOTTING THIS GAME -100000/10.

Yup, but regular Chopscotch is identical to her CGI model.
They are just being a bit cheaper with variants, this year and I'm totally ok with that: they still look cool and I'm happy they put most of their efforts into their normal versions.

Adam, she lacks the silver parts.
They are very minor details though and she still looks awesome, even if not as awesome as her regular form, in my opinion.

What page is the character checklist on? I thought it was in this topic, but there have been so many messages lately I can't find it. Or, was it it's own topic?

It might have been another topic, but here it is anyway. Skylanders Character List is an AMAZING site ran by the awesome SCL Matt.

Am I the only one who's starting to think the Mystical Tae Kwon Crow variant may be a scrapped variant? Like it was going to be in the final game, they made a trailer for it and everything, but decided to cut it?
I say this because I don't see how they could go about releasing it since regular Tae Kwon Crow is already out in the first wave, unless it's another Store exclusive. But I think generally variants come out in a wave before the regular character (like how Legendary Tri-Tip and Steel Plated Hood Sickle are in Wave 1 but regular Tri-Tip and Hood Sickle are in Wave 2).

Thanks, but I was looking for the one with pictures and it had the wave number next to each character. Anyone?

Still better than the tragic Halloween Eyebrawl "variant" thingy.

Found it, it was a different topic. Imaginators Character Checklist. Sorry!

They would be in serious financial trouble to need to cut a variant after getting everything done for it. I-Wei showed the process of getting one designed and it's really quick, then off to production it goes. It might be a later wave or part of a partnership(now with who no idea, just like the power blues when they were leaked). Even in that case, they wouldn't just get rid of the figures if there's no partnership, they'd just make some promotion and put them in chest blind bags or whatever.

Also, late reply-

We have no listings, no news, no nothing though. Saraiva always has at least the pre-launch listings, and... that's it really no other store is partnered with Acti anymore.

http://www.gamegames.com.br/sk...rs-starter-pack
Instead, we only have this LOVELY importer doing SUCH FAIR PRICES like 176 DOLLARS PLUS SHIPPING

I don't think it's really a problem if Tae Kwon Crow is released before his variant, if anything I think it makes more sense and we probably shouldn't take it as a sign of his Mystical version being scrapped.

I've never really followed variants that much, so excuse me if I say something wrong, but I'm pretty sure variants were generally released after their regular counterparts at least up to SuperChargers.
The ones I remember are King Cobra Cadabra and Love Potion Pop Fizz, for example.

I just checked out the Waves for Trap Team and SWAP Force and it appears that variants were usually released either after or along their regular versions.
There are exceptions though.

UM.

Ya'll do realize that Mystical Tae Kwon Crow can be released after the regular one...? Surely if he has a Meet the Skylander video then theres no way that hes scrapped.

Also, Birthday Bash Pop Fizz, Missile-Toe Dive-Clops, Power Blue Splat etc were all released after they're normal counterparts...

I honestly wouldnt mind having like 2 guest stars every year.

I don't either, as long as all platforms can play with them. That was the underlying premise of skylanders from the get go, which is why the Nintendo debacle last game hit a nerve with many.

Is that 176 US dollars or Brazilian Real? Cuz... that's actually a pretty damn good deal if the latter.

Edit: Damn, I just clicked the link and saw that it's 566,00 Real = 176.14 USD. That's pretty nuts. Sorry dude.

thats why i always wish for less figures and less gimmick. its just a hell for fans of the game in some countries to get to play the game. but activision keeps on pushing for more and setting the prices higher.

This store pulls this since Trap Team too. Dark Edition on ebay plus import tax manages to be cheaper than this e_e the issue with it waiting a month due to customs clearance, while even a week late in brazil would be great to have figures and stuff handy - and having an official distribution would kick this store in the knees for something a little more fair.
So I'm just crossing all the fingers that someone we know that's currently in the US can at least get the starter pack for me; figures can wait but the game is too big of a hole in the pocket.

CMB, don't make stuff up. This isn't Acti's fault, the store inflates prices because they're the only ones importing it ahead of time. For once I'm actually on Acti's side since brazil double taxes them for toys and eletronics so I don't blame them for dropping support... But not on lying that they changed their minds.

You do realize that Activision has little to no control of the economy in foreign countries, right? Also, no offense to Bifrost, not that many Brazilians are as huge a fan of Skylanders as we are!

New trailer with like 10 seconds of Pain-Yatta

Isn't that silver as well?
I think it's just the reflection which makes it look particularly more white compared to the gloves, which is similar to how some users thought Dr. Krankcase were switched to Light when his figure got leaked.

EDIT: PAIN-YATTA?!
Nooooooooooo, one of my many weaknesses!

Are there spoilers in the trailer...?

I wonder if Activision was planning on officially revealing the rest of the senseis, but then Shadowstorm got the game and they were like **** it.

What if... Shadowstorm is Activision? Think about it... they both have the letter A in their names! TOTALLY CONFIRMED!!!

No spoilers if you watched Overview, it's footage from the other trailers with some new gameplay.

But Pain-Yatta and a better look at the Realms is all this trailer has, it seems, the toy lineup picture is the same.

SO DOES ILLUMINATI!

Pain-Yatta is just like he was in Trap Team, give him to me nooooow!

Also, good thing they gave us a better look at some Realms: the Fire one looks quite better, at least less bland.
There is still one particular level which keeps leaving me quite clueless on whether it's a Story Chapter or a Realm but this only intrigues me more.

Think I saw a peek at some new levels but can't really tell, and they might have been shown in other trailers I skipped.
Everything looks so gorgeous.
Only 3 more days... It's so difficult!

So... Since I don't care that much about spoilers, I'll still keep an eye on the internet.

The owner of this store is my new husbando because of this.

Well, I'm guessing it will take some time to see something, if we have something.

its 19:47 here

Wow, I saw the opening of the game. Pretty good.

Half afternoon here.

It's a bit spoiled to say this lack of good new info is pain, but it is. Backstories, catchphrases, voices, c'mooon e_e a few seconds of gameplay with Soul Gems in the wild doesn't suffice anymore.

I seem to be in the minority but I'd prefer if we didn't get any more guest stars.

i tried looking for any new character gameplays

no luck

Why are we counting time again?

Is there a reason as to why the U.S. gets the game so late? Sorry if I sound ignorant I don't understand release dates.

That and I'm sure that it's a beta test of sorts to see if there are any major bugs to fix
