"No, they were just a dumb gimmick that didnt sell well and FFFBBBBPPPTTTTT"
^I saw it coming.

I hope they just put lights in the normal figures in Sky 6

I wouldn't mind either way, but I personally don't see them coming back. There was really no point to them, aside for the cool effect, other than that you might as well have just bought the regular figure. I'd like to see the light feature implemented into more figures though.

I hope they do. I loved the lightcore poses and effects over most of the normal figures.

I would like if they could come back but not in the form of regular character, nor Lightcore variants of other Skylanders.

Maybe the next Gimmicklanders (if there will be more of them) could use some of that tech in some yet unseen way, like some sort of dinamic light which would have been perfect for Trap Masters.

I wouldn't want them back just for the sake of it.

Well...

Seeing as the Core of Light was destroyed in SC. Who knows?

Well, they still work just fine after that.

I love lightcores but i dont think we will ever see them again .

The Lightcores at least for me only really served a purpose when it was between it and the series 1.
When it came to series 2 it was better to get the series 2.

I don't mind them to come back but I see no real point to them.

Their time has come and gone, just like me.

Honestly, the only characters I've had die on me over the years have been Giants and Lightcores. I'm personally against them coming back unless they can fix the issues it had on the 'guts' of the figures.

I thought the figure aspect of them was really cool.

Could care less about the fact that they were only a series 1 or the little AoE effect.

I do like lightcores as well and its something they could put better into figures in the future and possibly could've used in the vehicles as well. The problem is that they get an idea, run it into the ground until the sales are so poor they have to stop. I'm guessing that you'll see seasonal variants or the different colored ones be cut or nonexistent in the next game. That or a severe reduction in the amount produced.

If they tweaked what they did perhaps they'll come back, or even eon elites will be retired due to lack of sales.

Lightcores... Eh, I didn't like them especially when the cool lights didn't work properly.

I always felt lightcores should have just been the standard for a figure or at least they should have not done a series 2 and a lightcore separately.

I think it would actually be a cool idea had all series 2+ would have been lightcores. The blast when first placing the figure on the portal never really did anything for me because I'm switching skylanders the moment I hear which element is strongest but I don't really see it all that game breaking.

LCs without the soul gems / new stuff attached to them is what the major bummer was for me. If they mixed it up so new characters had the lights or series "x" I'd definitely be on board. And the small $2 surcharge for them with all of the above features make it a no brainier in my mind in providing consumer value.

I don't really believe in LightCores coming back. The figures are good, but I think that, if they bring something similar back, it would be something like being part of certain gimmick Skylanders. I'm not against their comeback if it happens, but I see my toughs as a more possible happening.

I always found lightcores to be a unique idea .

That flashbang was as good as any Wow Pow . The ingame glow as awesome as any colour variant .
I dont have much to say about the "outside glow" Some were great others so faded .

I would love to get an LC hex .

I agree with lemons. It was a rip to not have the wow pows that made the Giants reposes so OP. If they are the same price as the other cores in S6, it might be cool to some figures light up again, tho.

I feel like they basically wasted the lightcore concept by not using it for the one group of figures that could have actually benefited from it in a significant capacity.

Instead of using it for Giants and random cores they should have excluded it from the Giants (thus making them cheaper) and cores (since Lightcore cores are inferior to series 2's anyway) and used it exclusively for the Trap Masters. Imagine how much cooler the Trap Masters would have been if they were the first and only use of lightcore technology up until that point.

^ They could have even made a whole separate game gimmick outa light cores! I wouldn't approve, but they could've done that with minis and light/dark too.

there already was a LC Hex, she was red.

Her dress lit up and it doesn't make sense to this day. I'd bring up the nickname I and a few friends had for her because of the effect during Giants but I'd get warned on the spot because not safe for kids. Even in Superchargers/Trap Team,you can see she doesn't actually glow herself,her dress is just red and there's a light in her floating cloud.

And the kicker? Her eyes glow in every version, as seen in Trap Team's Skaletones Difficulty Select. Why the heck not just make her eyes red and glowy?

Maybe for Sky 6, they could put lights in the gimmick figures like they did with giants!

And I don't mean clones of pre-existing skylanders. Nobody wants to buy things twice to complete their collection.

Yes i know . Me wants it

I assume I think I know where your going with the Nickname bitfrost.
I don't mind the lightcore Hex but I'll never use her in an actual game. Shame she's one of my favorite skylanders and until Roller Brawl came around she was my main undead skylander. When it came to her Lightcore version I think I have actually two of her but one maybe unopened SOMEWHERE in the house. But I really messed up the first time with upgrading her because I did all the heroic challenges before upgrading her and while already knew what both paths were like I thought well I have my series 2 Hex as the "bone path"? and just totally forgot why I and nobody really chooses the top path and yeah i set her to the top path. Thankfully SC does have that only feature I love about it and now made ALL previous skylanders a series 2 without a wowpow.
If they just made LC Hex's eyes glow white or even green or blue it'd be cool.


I feel that not making the Trap Team characters light up was a very missed opportunity as such they might have been better treating them as giants or lightcore in all future games since we know they won't bring back the trap mechanic and same could be said for Superchargers and their cars.

^ Eh, I think light core vehicles would have made them too fragile, especially since Acti are encouraging the whole 'look these are actual TOYS you can play with too!' thing. And hey, we know how often those lights wouldn't work properly anyway!

well i'm not talking lightcores on the vehicles, but on the skylanders themselves.
Since it was said quit a while back that the vehicles will be treated as magic items in the next skylander game.
I guess for the most part the superchargers don't need the lightcore since they are just in the base skylanders. But the Trap Team you did pay more for then just the core skylanders.

We're paying more for the Superchargers ($12.99 retail) vs normal cores ($9.99 retail).

The trailers for the Lightcores where really misleading tho, they had their wowpows which made me believe these Lightcores where worth it.... such dissapointment lol
