inb4 people start sending death threats to F4F over the Skylanders figure

They do realize that spyro is a fictional character that is created for the purpose of entertainment right ? ...What they did is totally immature and disgusting TBH.

The poll is already at 161 votes! We're over the first third of the way! : D

How many "no" votes does it have though?

Doesn't matter, probably well past 700 but they don't make a difference This is an interest check, so they just want to know 450+ people that would like the figure to be a thing.

Though man I wish they got trolly and did 'three nos=one yes' since people care SO much to vote against it.

So I just played with Spyro (Series 2) again after a long time of not doing so, and I forgot how fun he was. Easily in my Top 5 at the moment.

off topic but i'm planning to get rid of most of my skylanders, what 7 other senseis should i keep? (wild storm, ro-bow and crash are staying)

Found out about the Gill Grunt glitch from SSA and SG. Now he's super fun.

If you press the Jetpack button, then the Harpoon button quickly afterwards, Gill Grunt will go Sanic Mode. It's kind of trial and error.

Oh man
I gotta try that

You definitely should, but be warned; the effects wear off when you attack again.

I never heard of that Gill Grunt trick. Is it console specific?

I don't think so, but it doesn't work in SSF onwards.

New question: Favourite variant from each game?

Here's mine:
Spyro's Adventure: Dark Spyro
Giants: Polar Whirlwind
Swap Force: Springtime Trigger Happy
Trap Team: Love Potion Pop Fizz
Superchargers: Frightful Fiesta
Imaginators: Heartbreaker Buckshot

SSA: Legendary Chop Chop
SG: Granite Crusher (green is my favourite colour, but blue works really well.)
SSF: Volcanic Eruptor
STT: Dark Wildfire
SSC: Dark Spitfire
SI: Mystical Bad Juju

Spyro's Adventure: Dark Spyro
Giants: Jade Flashwing
Swap Force: Nitro Magna Charge
Trap Team: King Cobra Cadabra
Super Chargers: Missile-tow Dive Clops
Imaginators: Mystical Tae Kwon Crow

Spyro's Adventure: Legendary Trigger Happy

SuperChargers: FRIGHTFUL FIESTA
Imaginators: Jingle Bell Chompy Mage

SSA: Spyro
SG: Cynder S2
SF: Fire Kraken
STT: Wildfire
SG: Hot Streak
SI: Crash Bandicoot

So I just found out about Double Trouble 1.5, and I totally want to have it for completeness of my collection. Do you guys know about it?

Quote: Drawdler

^ From Battlegrounds Starter purchased somewhere other than Gamestop. Buying it from Gamestop gave you Royal DT.

I do have Royal (a total pain to get tho), but I didn't know about 1.5. I will try and pick it up if I can...

Also, I'm starting to have a theory...

Hektore is Kaos' Father. What we see of him (the floating head) could be either just an illusion to intimidate enemies or his actual form, and he has become a spiritual being like Eon. If it is the former, then that would explain why Kaos also uses a floating head - because he got the idea from his dad. If it is the latter, then we do not know where or what his actual form is. It would also explain why his lair is exactly the same as Kaos' in SA. I don't know - it's just an idea.

Spyro' Adventure : Dark Spyro
Giants : Royal Double Trouble
Swap Force : Volcanic Eruptor / Spring Time TH / Quick Draw Rattle Shake...Can't decide
Trap Team : Love Potion Pop Fizz
Super Chargers : Legendary Astro Blast
Imaginators: Heart Breaker Buck Shot ,but if you won't count him I'll have to say Hard Boiled Flarewolf

I've been told by multiple GS employees from multiple locations that they arne't making anymore skylanders, and they are not carrying/supporting it anymore. I know this has been discussed here, it was just interesting hearing it myself. Doesn't sound like they are getting Robow. I can't figure out what to do. I'd like LIM and the extra set pieces, but I have no interest in "him" nor interest in paying the current asking prices (between just him and Wildstorm, that's the cost of a whole new game - at retail...my wallet just "can't"). On top of that, I have no expectations of any more support.

I just don't know what to do. The series has been a big part of my family.

Everything has been pointing to the series moving away from TTL even if it lives. I wouldn't expect any further support either since Acti already hates that in the current games.

Before I got it, I would check on ebay occasionally. Those that listed it with the 1.5 in the title usually priced it high. Look for Double Trouble listed without the 1.5 and check the pictures. You might find one cheap. I was going to, then I found it sitting on the counter at Gamestop for$3.

My favorite variants:
SA- Legendary Spyro.
SG- Legendary Lightcore Chill.
SF- Snowderdash.
TT- Gnarly Barkley (just for the pun, actually Legendary Bushwhack.)
SC- Snow Brite Stormblade.
SI- Candy-Coated Chopscotch.

I've seen it on Amazon for $15 with free shipping, so I might do that.

Wouldn't be cool if they released comics based on the show's canon , it a great way to keep us occupied until season 3 gets released next year.

Damn conclusion jumpers (talking about stores)

Despite the series' current state, I still don't trust anything Gamestop employees tell me. In the past they've constantly given me false release dates just to get me to preorder games, and they've also claimed Disney Infinity was completely replacing Skylanders after Swap Force.

It's a joke calm down there buddy

My Starcast and Hard Boiled Flare Wolf or as I like to call him ( cute pastel furry puppy ) are coming very soon and I'm super excited to get my hands on them !!! Starwolf4life

Does anyone remember the secret boss fight from Swap Force? The one from Kaos' Fortress?

Yeah but this was the opposite, they aren't trying to get my money.

I've also learned that just like any other retail job, treating the employees as a regular people and not villifying them, gets you a much better result. Its amazing how frequently I hear people talk bad about GS employees, yet through all my years of dealing with Babbage/Gamestop - from the early 90s to present, from DC to NC I have NEVER had any issues. Maybe because I did Best Buy I have a different viewpoint and talk different, but I always have a good time, good convo, AND get put on to stuff. I'd get put onto stuff that hadn't even hit shelves yet, just talking friendly.

You get a variety of types at Gamestop. Most tend to be nice if you are nice to them, and will talk and tell you the best they know. The problem is in lack of real info, sometimes they will tell you what they heard - which isn't always handed down from management, sometimes it is just relayed from other customers.

But you do sometimes get the ones that just want to push pre-orders or used games to make their numbers, and will tell you whatever it takes to try and do that. Management kinda pushes them to do that.

The ones I don't like are the ones that try to push whatever popular game they are trying to run up pre-orders, be it Madden or Call of Duty whatever, as they seem to think that just because I liek games I'm going to immediately want whatever yearly shooter or sports game that has barely changed. Or the ones that clearly favor one system over another, although that isn't as bad as it used to be. They used to hire a lot of console fanboys, but I get the feeling they realized that wasn't helping things.

I mean you could say the same for Skylanders. It always looks the same on the surface.

Kinda, it's more on the sense of toy franchises - it's not really the same, but your kids will want it, or a collector wants to get it quick to get it off the list. With CoD they push the new game because part lf the casuals want to be there Day 1 to play with their friends/the new modes and show off their rank, or something. At least that's how it is with some neighbors with Xbox Ones.

Yeah, he was called Mister Chompy. I remember he was behind a random Water gate or something.

Another question - in SuperChargers Racing you see Grill-X. Is that Drill-X rebuilt or a different robot that's the same model?

Same model probably, seeing as though Drill X was trashed.

Quote: emeraldzoroark

Yeah. I'm going to say cousin or brother, like Blobbers and Clobbers.

Its likely the same Drill-X rebuilt. I see no point it in being a reative if they never address it. I like the idea of it being a renwed Drill-X

Drill-X... oh, good old days... I really love that villain.
