What is included with the portal owners pack? Thanks.

There isn't one? At least not on launch.

Edit: there is one NOW, just Creation Crystal and game. Not worth it imho, but if you're on a budget...

Gee, who called this? ;)

After launch when the full pack had the price drop? Dunno if it's a good thing to be right about :U But I guess it's good for gifts and whatnot.

Me! Obviously.

Guess King Pen and Golden Queen may be released separately in the last Waves, then.

Yeah. We already saw King-Pen's Single Pack. Now we need to see Golden Queen's.

"There's great value in offering the full package, you get senseis, crystal, portal, game. But on second thought, 25 dollar game and crystal ain't a bad idea."

Though, it's hard to see in the picture, is this just the game package or it's just a smaller box? It's an interesting look if it's the former.

I think it's just a smaller box. I don't think they would make a different game cover just for one pack.

Really...?
I thought it was a fake, unless you are't talking about the pack supposedly leaked on some catalogue way before we knew the actual packaging's look.

Nope. Remember the Gamescom store/shop/display/Idon'tknow? So, there was a image there showning different types of toys (like many Crystal molds we didn't knew), and there was an actual image of King-Pen's pack there. Kinda hard to search now, but...

I wonder if you'll get a disc or just a code? I'm thinking $25 is the normal price and you'll see them in stores for ages until they decide to liquidate the heck out of them.

They should have done this day one, as I would have bought it then. Just the game and one crystal is worth it if you already have a couple hundred figures and not trying to collect them all anymore. I got a disc only game off ebay a week later for $22 shipped, as I really didn't want either starter figure nor any imaginator crystals at the time. I'd wager they are probably down to $15 a disc now.

If yes, I either never saw it before or never realized it was true.
We should have seen some kind of Owner Pack coming, since every Starter Pack has King Pen or his Dark version in it.

It's such a pointless endeavor this late in the game... All the hardcore fans that would like something like this already bought the game on launch. Plus, why even bother paying 25 dollars for just the CC when there is a Starter Pack that costs slightly more and contains 2 extra characters?

Hardcore fans wouldn't buy this, as they'd want the starters (and/or Crash pack and/or Dark starters...)

This is for a very few - those who want a super-cheap stocking stuffer-esque item that their kiddos can use with the 50 or so figures they already have.

Yup. That's the one.

And obviously Activision hopes that will spur those kids (who clearly haven't been interested in Imaginators so far) to start buying crystals and senseis - especially because unsuspecting buyers will find that their older figures have been nerfed in Imaginators. This seems like it might be something Activision was keeping up its sleeve on purpose - not officially announcing a portal owner's pack at first, then only releasing it if sales weren't up to expectations.

I don't know how long they were considering this pack, but I do know it was set in stone before launch.

Definately a marketing thing too, if Paul Reiche was so sure in the interview it wasn't happening, as well as acarl in the dev stream mentioning they're not the ones handling starter packs.
