Confirmed releases (excluding Sensei Combo Packs and Legendary Crystals).

Red = Wave 1/2
Green = Wave 3
S = Starter Pack
D = Dark Edition
A = Adventure Pack
3x = Triple Pack
8 = Eight-Pack
Blank = Single
? = Unknown

We do know that there's at least 1 Fire and 1 Dark Crystal in Wave 3, but not which ones.

Nice job Nightmoon! I pretty much had this exact setup but on paper with circles and boxes around things. Looked like a disaster, but at least I understood it. This is nice and clean.

Helped me on day one to realize there was a minimum of 8 single packs to buy between wave 1 and 2 since the 8 pack has the other 6. With crystals being so expensive, not planning to buy any more than I have to.

Small update with Wave 3 content.

These are the only wave 3 crystals we know about besides the 8 pack and Boom Bloom adventure pack:

Fire Acorn (single pack)
Fire Acorn/Light Spikes/Earth Shards (triple pack)
Dark Tent/Undead Spikes/Magic Handles (triple pack)
Magic Tent (Pain-Yatta combo pack)

Waiting to see what other single pack crystals there might be. Right now only need Fire Acorn single and Air Handles from the adventure pack.

Probably already said, and this is largely rhetorical, but: why the hell did Life get FIVE crystals? 9_9

Just a guess, but maybe because random characters can fit into the life element if none of the others seem to make sense.

I think Magic is more of that than Life.

But I think that it's to match the number of characters, so they chose a random Element to get one more.

Crash & Donkey Kong fit with life... I'm just looking at all the human faces and gamers who might want to create themselves or someone from life. Plus the whole toys to life thing. I can see magic working for lots of ideas, but it's purple, and green is more neutral.

I can see. I'm just seeing it from a developer design perspective, where some characters that don't fit anywhere else fits Magic. Crash and DK fit Life because they're animals from the jungle, which is their homeland.

Crash could have just as easily been Magic, and DK could have been Earth. Not specifically refuting them being Life, but it wasn't their only option.

I call B.S. on green somehow being more neutral than purple though. That's completely subjective.

That was more of a tangent thought. Hence the ... However, I was referring to how 2 out of 4 of the extra characters are Life element. It seems to be the likely choice as well. Sorry if that seemed like an example.

Green is more neutral in terms of color, ask any painter. I'm not talking gender, just color theory.

I see. Maybe they made it to match the number of characters of that Element.

Okay, so the new molds coming out in wave four are:

Fire acorn in row 3

The Life crystal in row 1

The Tech Crystal in row 1

And the Water crystal in row 1

By row, I mean what row the image is on in this image:



In a wave three case, there are:

2 Fire row 3 crystals (new)

2 Tech row 1 crystals (new)

2 Undead row 3 crystals (restock)

1 Life row 1 crystal (new)

1 Water row 1 crystal (new)

1 Magic row 2 crystal (restock)

1 Light row 2 crystal (restock)

2 Water row 2 crystals (restock)


I don't remember how many they had of the Water row 2 molds in the case, but I think it was two. So keep in mind I might be wrong about how many restock water and Magic crystals there are, because I can't remember if it was two Water crystals or two Magic crystals.

You got the wave wrong in the text above the picture.

Other than that, thanks for the info.

Release overview update:

Half red, half green = single releases in both W1-2 and W3.
Yellow = special release (TRU micro comic fun packs)

Awesome news, just need to worry about the 4 new single packs and the crystal in the Boom Bloom adventure pack.

Now to wait for a wave 3 release date in the US.

December 2nd was what Insane01 was just told.

Nightmoon - may I make a suggestion? Or three? :D

1A.) Instead of blank colored boxes to denote waves, go with numbers (1, 2, 3).
1B.) Instead of split boxes for crystals that ship in multiple waves, just add additional boxes. You could probably fit five boxes next to a crystal.
1C.) For the triple packs, use a capital T instead of the number 3 (since you'd be using that with waves).
1D.) Put the elemental symbols above each row of Crystals. They're really hard to make out on my tiny phone screen (wish I had my tablet on me!).

2.) Put the legend on the image itself, so folks can just save the image and always know what everything means. :D

3.) Update all of your posts to link to one static image, then update the image itself, so all of the images in your old posts will always have the newest version of this wonderful chart you've made. You'd have to use an image service other than imgur though. :(

Thanks, man. :D

^Good ideas. Just adding a couple things...

I'm not color blind, but maybe it would help if the green boxes were blue... Anyone have difficulty with any of these colors?
It might look nice to swap Fire and Life so the golds are together.

It looks really good. I'm only mentioning these things cause my eyes kind of bounce around a bit when I stare at it.

So this excellent information isn't buried, I'd appreciate it if the original post could be edited to include this.

Can we get a sticky on this topic?

Sorry for asking, but the Creation Crystals don't have names like the Traps, do they?

Nope. They are just all named by the Element.

Just ordered my 3x 8 packs to get 3x magic moulds for the road to 100

Knowing my luck... It'll be released individually for W4 lol

The hardest part will be getting another 2 of the life/dark ones exclusive to the dark pack and the ones exclusive to the adventure packs.

Can anyone speculate as to why there is little to no interest in the wave 3 tech crystal? I have been picking these up here and there over the last few weeks to resell (only one or two at a time, never wiping out stock or anything particularly reprehensible), getting them for sale prices and selling them at $18-$20. The water and life wave 3 crystals sell almost immediately, and the fire sold eventually, but I have been sitting on an extra tech since these started hitting. Can anyone guess or speculate as to why there is no general interest in the tech crystal?

W3 water has been the hardest for me to find

We don't have the combo packs here in the US, or if we do, they would be way harder to find than the crystal.

We need 6 crystals to complete our collection, does anyone know if these are available anywhere or any info on them. According to the list posted above they all have question marks next to them, does that mean they are not listed anywhere as of yet?

Wave 4 or 5, but we have no clue which.

Sorry running into this game late. Has the 8 pack come out in the us or the triples...ive yet to see either. I jsut started collecting most stuff this weekend and xmas weekend.

No, the 8-pack was a European release only.

8 pack never made it stateside. you can import it on amazon.it but that's about it.

eagerly awaiting that fire wing mold.

Yeah, I really want the fire wing crystal too. Also looking forward to those dark and tech crystals to complete a 2nd set.

More dark crystals are always welcome. I only have the one from the dark edition so far.

Don't forget the 3 legendary crystals.

I've only got two characters left that I wanna make (Robbie Rotten and Bender), and I need the last Dark and Tech molds to make them. I really hope all the molds are released; I'm worried about that dark crystal

Hello ! I am an italian fan of Skylanders Imaginators: unfortunately I am not able to find the two single pack creation crystal Life Rocket and Water Fanged, basing on the Skylanders Character List classification by Matt Sonnenberg.
Please, can somebody of you help me to find them (note that I can usa a regular postal address in Eatontown, New Jersey, for delivery) in some way ?!?
Waiting for an answer as soon as possible, thank you very much for your attention.

Best regards from Modena (Italy),
Ivano Venturi

I have 2/3 of those. Just haven't got around to buying the life one.

I was going to make Robbie Dark like you, but with both of the Dark crystals exclusive to packs, I made him Magic instead. I actually think that it works better, because Robbie can teleport and stuff and it's similar to the Magic Elemental attacks.

Go Dark if you want, but if you can't, then I think you could still have him but just as a Magic guy.

That water crystal in the top right corner, I think it's called the spike mold, I got it at TRU today. An employee Lee me check cases behind the counter. I was hoping for a chase variant, but I'll take a rare crystal.

triple pack 3- fire acorn, life spikes, earth diamonds
triple pack 4- dark tent, undead spikes, magic handles

^light spikes instead of life spikes

If you are able to collect them all, except for the 8 pack (Not sold in the US), you should have all the Life/Water/Undead and should only be missing one of the rest of the elements except for Dark (2). There are 8 crystals that have not been release in the US:

1 Air
1 Earth
1 Fire
1 Light
1 Tech
1 Magic
2 Dark

Do we know what is going to be in Wave 4 and when it will be released?

US is only missing 1 Dark. Pyramid is in the Dark Edition, Cube is in a 3-pack. I really hope the Pyramid gets a separate release, though...

Anyway, no, the only info we have on upcoming releases is that Grave Clobber and Cursed Tiki Temple are coming in March. And we have no idea which Life Crystal is included in CTT. (For some reason, I keep picturing the one on the top row.)

Was the 3-pack released in the US, if so when? I have not seen it in the wild.

I don't think so...
another words - Ebay.
The 3-packs should sell for $25. Amazon has them starting at $35 (re-seller), the one with the dark crystal starts at $50.

Just buy them from amazon.de

They were on amazon, they're probably sold out now (it was back in late November/early December or so when they first appeared), and the only ones on there now are probably from private sellers. But they were on Amazon before, that's how I got my 3 pack with the dark crystal, and I'm in the US.
