You see, I'm making a fan game, and I wanted to add him as a boss. I'm going to have Grill-X and either have him as a rebuild of the old one or his cousin/brother who wants revenge.

Anyway, can I ask you guys about another question regarding my game? I would really help out.

I say have it just be Drill-X back in action. The brother part feels corny in a bad way. Too cutesy and unneeded.

And ask away! Im curious!

Anyway, Smolderdash arrived. God are all SF skylanders this noisy? Her gameplay is great and she earned a spot, but I don't think I can use her in a long session e_e

Alright, so Malefor is the final boss of the game, and his size makes it kind of difficult to figure out how to fight him. However, I have a few ideas. Can you guys tell me which one is best?

#1 - You fight him in the air with the Dragon Wings from SI, and you have to shoot his armor while dodging his fireballs. It's exactly like N.Gin's boss fight from Crash Bandicoot: Warped - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPt1U8z50Ew

#2 - While he stays on the ground and tries to blast you with fire, you have to use the wings to shoot his armor. You fly around with the wings from SI.

#3 - You fight him like you fight the Gulper, as in you don't directly fight him but you still defeat him and have to avoid his attacks.

#4 - You don't fight Malefor, and instead he actually chases you throughout the level, while trying to blast you with fire. You have to get to a certain point where it will be possible to defeat him, like a cannon to blast him or trap to stop him for good. Think like Hektore in SA 3DS.

#5 - Like in that one Titans level in SC, Brain makes you grow huge (to Malefor's size) and fight him head on.

So, what one is best? Please stick to one of these.

Well, I went ahead and ordered Lost Imaginite Mines on eBay. I was going to wait until after Gamescon but I ran out of patience. Even if it ends up coming out in the US eventually, saving 20 bucks isn't worth the wait.

That's Grey DeLisle/Griffin's voice. I will fight you. (Largely for her hand in marriage.)

Not the voice, that's fine. Her magic moment, her idle, her walking, why does everything have to be so loud and swooshy/droning? e_e'

It's Swap Force's thing, being all loud and stuff. On the Wii version anyway...

2 if you would like just one. I really like the idea of knocking off his armor. However, I think 2 turning to 5 would be the coolest. Good use of Brain.

Yes, Brain us gonna play a HUGE role in this game.
That's actually an awesome idea with 2 becoming 5. Can I use that?

Of course. Lemme know if you want feedback on more.

Thank you so much for the help!

So it's been, what, four going on five months since Lost Imaginite Mines was released elsewhere and still hasn't been released in the US? I can't even imagine why they would wait this long to release it here, IF it ever is actually going to get a release. What a crappy end for the toys to life element of the series. Gotta love this one last middle finger from Activision. I'll hopefully be getting my hands on LIM soon, but this whole ordeal has left a sour taste in my mouth. Activision let this all die the same way they did while it lived, without giving us any information about anything or giving us a release date for figures.

Try just over two months since they first started appearing online, and a little under two since they started showing up in stores in the UK. It hasn't even been 5 months since Cursed Tiki Temple was released.

So I have a question for those of you with LIM. Where do you find the Train part set? I've gotten 3 stars on the level ( That speed run is HARD.) And I just can't find the Train set. So any help?

What if you make him chase the player for a while then you fight him for a short while ( the player is normal size ) you fight him for a while then a pillar or something falls and he escapes .

Totally agree with Drawdler, Chompy-King257, options 2+5 is the best! I'd really like to see it once it's finished!

What software are you using to create the game? How are you doing graphics, sounds, music? Have you ever created a full game before?

Not sure he's actually gonna try to make the game, but more so brain storm one for fun. No way he could actually make it due to legal issues.

Dude there are many fan games out there I don't think that it's impossible.

Fan games in DS =\= actual fan games. It's pretty much a fanfic structured after a game summary.

I'm not actually making it. I'm just writing down all my ideas here:

http://skylanders-fan.wikia.co...Malefor's_Wrath

I am designing and creating everything for the levels, characters and such, though.

I'm planning on buying a LIM pack, second hand. Was wondering if the fact that someone has used it before, may prevent Ro-Bow for unlocking the level as well as the chest from unlocking the extra parts?

Should I ask him to remove property from Ro-Bow before sending?

I've never heard of a character only working once to unlock everything it can unlock out of the box. That's not to say it's impossible, but especially with how it's a new (and one-time- ... well, two-time-, counting Wild Storm separately) thing for a character itself to unlock a level, I really doubt they'd limit how many different games or save-files they'd allow it to unlock.

That would mean that you'd need a new Ro-Bow for every profile you created on your game system, and I just don't see that happening. I haven't gotten Wild Storm yet, but anybody who has could test it out.

You should be good to go.

Where would you buy it second hand,

I can verify that you CAN use a second-hand Ro-Bow to unlock the level. I used mine on my Xbox One, then loaned it to my friend's kid to unlock on his Switch. No issues doing so at all.

Isn't the issue the blue chest? Ro-Bow works like a location piece.

It's an app at my country called Wallapop, which is similar to craiglist. You buy stuff from people of your neighbourhood or near by. In my case he is at 200km away from me, so he will have to send it. Apparently he hasn't opened the box, he has used Ro-Bow and the blue chest by plaing the unopened box on the portal. He hasn't used the crystal though.

The extra parts won't unlock if he has used it previously? Not cool...

Thanks to pcj613 and Mcmurderpaws for the info btw.

I don't really know, I can't get either level pack. After the mess that was getting Bad Juju, last thing I need is the mail holding onto a large figure pack that's most likely rare and very likely to be stolen e_e

The Blue Chest is like all other physical Imaginite Chest, it only works once PER PLAYER PROFILE. It'll still unlock the 80 parts on a different profile, regardless of if it's on the same console or a different console even.

This is correct. My friend's kid used my blue chest to unlock all the pieces on his Switch as well. As SoulfulWolf said, it works once per player profile. There's no limit to the number of systems you can scan it on, and if you have other users on your home console, they can scan it as well.

And before anyone asks (wai tho!?!), yes, the Creation Crystal works on multiple systems too.

Thank guys, I have just made the payment. I was planning on waiting for LIM to be on sale, but it seems to be becoming rather rare at my town, so I prefer not to wait anymore.

Just out of curiosity what is your favorite HUD in the games?

I just finished LIM and I'm glad to say that the series ended on a high note. The chapter was well done.☺

Same here but I meant HUD heads up display
Like where the health,gold Face Icon is

Imaginators is the least messy one, but I prefer Giants for its goofy and polished look.

I like the SuperChargers and maybe Imaginators one the most.

Trap Team

Mine is Imaginators I'm a sucker for the icons when they use their artwork rather than the original icons they used for Spyro's adventure swap force and a bit of superchargers

SuperChargers. It looked so nice and organized.

I liked superchargers as well but it was missing the element on the hud
I know it is shown when a element is strong but still

Giants. Cap'n Flynn's Ship. Not to big, plenty to do, and you can customize it.

So I played with Mysticat for the first time in like months and holy smokes he's so much better than I remembered him being. He's in my top 3 favorite Skylanders of all time right now, behind Chain Reaction and Double Dare Trigger Happy.

Mysticat is tons of fun.

Sooo... Mainly an Academy topic but actually releated to last year's drama. Remember that leak from LiamR that Acti would attempt to cancel Skylanders Academy? We know that didn't work, but according to several of Eric Rogers' tweets, there was a significant budget cut for Season 2, which led to a lot of issues. Considering the time matches the leak perfectly, seems like it didn't happen as we were told, but they still tried to cut support in some way.

****, that's no good. It possible we might only get 3 seasons?

So they are definitely doing season 3? Because I simply HAVE to see Malefor and that new villain.

We don't actually know who debuts in S2 fully, but Eric mentioned expanding on stuff for S3 - it's still happening, but we'll see if they can add much. All in all, he did mention that he's treated better in the new show he's also working on(no he didn't leave SA, for now), so Acti is being nasty as usual.

For those out of the loop on the Academy tweets, he was only allowed to add 8-10 characters on S2, few locations and even assets, so he had to rely a lot on content from S1.

It's not that kind of show. I think they just had to cut a lot of nonessential character development episodes, like Flynn's introduction(I'll guess it'll be like Skylanders Unite where he and other new characters just start showing up), but he did say the Great War, the Book of Dark Magic and whatnot would get explained.
