So according to Skylanders Inquirer, Wildstorm will release on Mar 12 with the Cursed Tiki Temple pack, and Grave Clobber will be out in spring (no specific date given).

http://skylanders-inquirer.com...ally-new-packs/

Uninformed speculation on which Creation Crystal the Cursed Tiki Temple pack will come with: a Life crystal, because they're already absurdly over-represented (at 5 variants, when most elements only have 3).

Probably the same Life crystal that came with the Dark Edition pack.

I think that is the official Activision press release. Businesswire and Gamasutra have the exact same thing. If so, then it's officially coming with a life crystal, as bad a decision as that is. Maybe they over produced those, and feel this is a good way to get rid of some of them.

Well then. Crap.

Wait, so what's in this pack? Wild Storm, the Crystal and what else?

Wild Storm, Crystal, AP and a chest.From their official announcement.

Wild Storm, Crystal, AP and a chest.

Thanks! So it comes with four things instead of three? Cool!

Chest doesn't count, I'd say. It might even be Bronze so most people who collect one of each aren't getting much out of it.

Hm...I wonder if the chest will include some of the 100 new parts or just the original ones...

I wonder since Imaginators will be on Switch, does that mean.....

WE MIGHT GET A NEW GAME THIS YEAR?

Hopefully, but I'm not going to get too hyped just yet.

Chompy-King - My guess, and it is just a guess, is that the new part will just be added to the existing parts database through a patch, and be unlocked randomly (assuming you buy the pack). Like I said, just a guess, but with the game coming out on the switch, I can'tell imagine they will have a separate parts database for the new parts that would require an extra step for getting them.

I see. Thank you!

The way they word it says Wild Storm unlocks the level. There is no mention of a level figure that I can see.

will Pain-Yatta be released by then too??

Painyatta was released though?

grave clobber figure at the nintendo switch event in new york. (sorry for potato quality)

I wonder how soon this "spring" release date for GC is. If they have him at the switch event, then i'd assume soon.

(SCREAMS EXTERNALLY)

Whoa good find Zap buddy! I knew he would be at the event and dang his figure has more mass to him than I thought he would have. His waist will probably be very thin, but all the mass and weight will definitely be in his masssively buff chest and those big strong arms.

trixster98 was able to order one of the mysterious grave clobber listings on amazon, and it apparently shipped from china.

I heard and I will wait to hear what happens before taking the gamble myself. I have had some pretty nasty experience with China, but who honestly hasn't before? On another note with them actually having a finished figure of him, could very well be ready by the time the Switch comes out. This is exactly what happened with and when they were shown early and were out in early Spring in like March that year.

Could also be like Blades and several SF figures stolen from the factory years ago.

He was released in the double pack, and by extension his chase variant.

Online on Amazon. What do you not think that Amazon counts as a release?

Shops too, I remember people seeing him in the wild. Where I have no idea, so probably not US.

Actually, a level piece isn't mentioned - just the figure, the crystal and the chest.

Quote:

The pack comes with Sensei character Wild Storm who will unleash a new level to players; a life Creation Crystal; and an Imaginite Mystery Chest all for the suggested retail price of $29.99 on March 12 at participating retailers nationwide.

EDIT: Quoted the wrong page. Oops.

Also coming for Skylanders Imaginators in March will be the Cursed Tiki Temple level pack. This new pack takes players on an all-new adventure where they can unlock more than 100 new offerings for their Imaginators. The pack includes a new Sensei character, Wild Storm, a life Creation Crystal, and an Imaginite Mystery Chest.

(From the press release)

The fact that this pack includes an Imaginite Treasure Chest (instead of a level piece), a life creation crystal (the one they have made the most of) and another wind Sensei (when one was included with the Observatory Adventure Pack) kiiiiiinda makes it look like this Adventure Pack was improvised out of a Sensei originally intended to be sold solo, and unsold creation crystal and chest inventory.

It's also odd that a pack releasing in the game's launch year does not have a space for itself already on the MAP. I wonder if they originally did not intend to make this pack, and only decided to do so post launch, perhaps because retailers worried about getting stuck with extra inventory will prefer to stock a single larger item instead of a bunch of smaller ones.

If it is a late addition, I wonder what that means for the relative complexity of the included level. Is it going to be as robust as the other expansions, or is it going to be something simpler to make, like something that uses a lot of existing graphical assets, or something with a heavy focus on combat arena sequences? Touting the extra parts as a big selling feature makes it seem like the level itself might be less of a selling point.

There is an area that is "clouded" near the Tech Realm. A good place for an expansion.

His double pack was stocked in Target in Australia in very limited numbers.

yep.

considering it's from china, it might be legit. skylanders prototypes show up in china all the time.

*insert trump "CHYNAH" here*

Some people even managed to get the cancelled Premium Hulk Infinity figures from Chinese online retailers

calm down, i just found him and ordered now, thanks to a member here pm me with info.

sorry, i was a bit worried painyatta would end up as another yawn trap.. that stuff always makes me panic.

Looks like Grave Clobber is a bust!
This is whats posted on Amazon about the mysterious seller with Grave Clobber
I guess the old saying if it sounds to good to be true it is FAKE!!!!!!!!
When Karma comes around they will not be so lucky.....
So I am sure nothing will come my way but waiting for 1 to 2 weeks from amazon to refund my money.

So for Stella Higgins this is listed for them below,

TRACKING # DOES NOT EXIST. THIS IS A SCAM
By Amazon Customer on January 19, 2017.
The meaning of this story don't buy it if it sounds to be to good to be real because its FAKE!!!!!
I dislike crooks and cons and there day will be coming and bite them in the A$$...

Well it would not be unheard of if it were real - basically figures smuggled out of the factory. But typically they would charge more than that, like when Matteo got LC Bumbleblast early. Not sure on the tracking, but if they were sent it would be via China Post most likely, and tracking on that stuff is really haphazard. If it was purchased through Amazon's payment system, they should refund it if it is fraud, and your credit card company almost certainly would refund if Amazon payment was not used.
