Lol prove to u. All im saying is the ps and xbox logos are a big problem. They cant sell it like that. Both companies will throw big fits. The box looks custom. Not the artwork but the box as a whole. When these things are found, a link would be beneficial. There are known users on social media who love to make things (fake images) to attract attention. Remember that nitro SSC fig?

So whoever faked this made their own art, that looks highly official? And they made that chest thing? I'm pretty sure that the Playstation thing in the corner is NOT going to be in the final product. It's likely just a mockup box until official release.

Does anyone have an answer about whether the Dark Starter Pack is definitely a Gamestop exclusive? I have seen different opinions and wondering if anyone that has gone to GAMESTOP knows for sure.

Yes. It's confirmed to be an exclusive.

Edit: *Coughs*



First off, what's that treasure chest? Second, the Life Crystal is different.

Where did you find this?

Originally on SCL, but it was first seen here: https://www.facebook.com/Skyla...753030368171626

Edit: The image has been removed.

Looks like a placeholder that somebody has edited.

Yeah... I wouldn't quite trust that image, but at least we have a solid enough source of what figures are included in the Dark edition.

That pictures looks really fake to me. But if it is real I'll need to buy that chest second hand.

I would think so too, but the fact that the art of Wolfgang is new and that the figures are shown at different angles in the box is odd enough for me to believe it. Also, that chest looks exactly like the ones in the game, so it couldn't be from something else.

Using dark crystal for ninja

In case some of you haven't been to GameStop: there is an information sheet for Skylanders Imaginators. At the bottom of the sheet, there is a list of what is included in each of the two types of starter packs. For the Dark Edition it reads:
Skylanders Imaginators Video Game
Portal of Power
3 Skylanders Sensei Figures
3 Imaginite Creation Crystals
2-Sided Collection Poster
And more to be announced...

Maybe that treasure chest is the more to be announced. I would guess that it might be a chest of parts to turn your Imaginators Skylanders into Dark Skylanders.

Does anyone think that the crystal's look a little too big...?
And would they REALLY add a SKY background on a DARK EDITION starter pack?
But, if it is real, does anyone think they could be releasing Imaginite Chests in like, a triple pack or some kind of pack that will unlock some customization for you?

Another thing to point out, realize how the Life and Dark crystal's don;t have their elements on it, yet the Fire one does?
But I don't think it could be fake, or at least an earlier product, because how would they get the Life and Dark Crystal's without the glow? And the figures from that angle?

They added a Sky Background on other Dark Editions, like the Swap Force one.

With the Creations Crystals - Well, they're more expensive than Traps and almost the same price as a regular Skylander, so they're bound to be a bit bigger than traps.

Again, keep in mind that this is not a final product. It's probably just a mock-up.

Crystals are hueg,guys. Bigger than the short Cores.



It's slightly bigger than they should be,but not by much.

Whoops! From the videos I saw, they looked pretty small.

Just get a swap force portal, put a core on it, and compare it to the picture.

Literally no one in this thread who is skeptical of this image has provided an explanation for the new Wolfgang artwork or new models for the Creation Crystals. Those are what make it real for me. So, if anyone can stand up to the plate and convince me that they aren't real, I'm all ears!

The SWAP Force Portal matches the design of the bases and crystal pretty well. I wonder how much different the final portal will be if there is one. The fact that the SWAP Force portal is being used there, could mean that you can at least still use any portal for Imaginators. I'm sure somebody already mentioned that somewhere, but design wise that's pretty nice!

Yeah, that's what's making me have a little hope. The Artwork.
Wait, I DON'T WANT HOPE. I DON'T WANT ANYONE GETTING SOMETHING EXTRA!
Also, I noticed, about the cloud background, Trap Team's DE had that, so I guess I can't say anything.

I think I've noticed something about how the Portal reacts when a Creation Crystal is placed on it.
Probably should post it in the General topic but we are discussing that now, after all.

Apparently the Portal lights up in a different way when you place a crystal on it: instead of simply glowing and changing color, it starts emanating light pulses from the center (maybe to mimic the crystal's heartbeat-like glows) while changing colors more rapidly.
Maybe they are using the SWAP Force Portal because it was already programmed to have different configurations, like the one during Kaos' Mom fight.
They could keep that very same tech and simply change the aesthetic to match a more "imaginative" concept.

I know this gif hasn't the best quality, but should be enough to show what I'm talking about:



I think it's shown in quite a few videos as well.

It's the little details like the portal lights they add that make me love these games. They could be as careless as they want and still be able to make money off of the games, but the reason I love them so much is the fact that they add so many small details and features in the games.

Why is everyone so hyped about Wolfgang? He's just some stupid prissy harp playin heavy metal puppy! Wait for actual news! Not Pups

hey you dont talk crap bout wolfgang, hes a BOSS and idc if your a gill grunt fan no-one talks about wolfgang like that


on other notes, hopefully pre-ordering dark edition today, and its very lucky since they dont usually have dark edition in Ireland, really hope the kaos figure comes with this one cause i heard only SOME retailers sell the kaos figure with pre-order

Don't think some people didn't see the post before the edit. You don't have to like other people's opinions but you might want to be a little less rude.

The Dark Edition description is the same as the Swap Force again uuuurgh

None of the Dark characters this time were even notorious at the time(King Pen was a nobody, the villain were imprisoned). They could at least handwave this is a newfound batch of Petrified Darkness.

I'd get the normal version, i never really liked dark variants besides Spyro and a few others. It looks like the colors are just randomly put on them like the legendaries after SSA.

Get the DE for PS4, since they're not doing one for PS3. However I am getting the Crash SE for PS3, though it should be $89.99 since only one figure's added as oppose to 2 figures and 2 creation crystals that the DE has.

Spyro is actually the only Dark Skylander I like, but Spitfire is pretty good too.

I like Dark Golden Queen, Blast Zone, Slobber Tooth and Wildfire
but don't think I care about any of the other dark edition characters.

But I really think Tri-Tip should have been in instead of wolfgang. He'd have looked good in it.

Dark Golden Queen and King Pen look great, but i still prefer the originals.

@luminous35 same but atleast the dark ones are stronger in stats ( i think)

Dark Spitfire's my favorite dark edition so far!

Is it safe to assume you will get the dark crystal in later waves?

If we don't, I'm gonna be so mad. I want the Crash Edition, not the Dark Edition, and I'm not changing my pre-order again.

So, now that the Dark Edition has been released, has it been discussed that it will ALWAYS be a GS exclusive? Any chance it is only a timed exclusive?

It's a timed exclusive meaning online has already sold out and stores are actually running low already as well. Only GS will be carrying them, which sounds like not for long.
