With Superchargers last year, we didn't have much issue in finding figurines outside of the Land Racing Action Pack, Thrillipede and the Buzz Wing. They were just so common that if you didn't find them at one store, you could just look in another to find the the character, outside of the above mentioned.

With Imaginators, how do you expect it will be? Will figures like Kaos be readily available to everyone, even on Day One? Or will there be limited assortments of characters, because certain others were more popular?

I am hoping for something alike to Superchargers to be honest. I'm short on money this year, and while I do want to get the game and all the figures, it will be really hard, and I may not even get the game. I don't want there to be so many sales that we don't end up having the last few characters released, but there needs to be enough for me to get the whole collection in a reasonable budget. I don't know what I want yet, but what are your opinions?

Well, I predict that a My Little Pony will not be a figure in this game and will thereby be the rarest figure of all.

In all seriousness now, I'm expecting Kaos (outside of pre-orders) to be the rarest. I know there'll be some leftover ones in stock since not everybody pre-ordered, but after that I'm expecting him to be the Wave 5 release. Would just make too much sense.

I feel like Kaos will never be released outside of launch. He seems pretty special, I wouldn't be surprised if they limit his stock SEVERELY

I still think making stuff way too rare is stupid for a kids game...

You clearly have never tried to buy Marvel Legends figures... Or Shopkins for that matter! Scarcity can't be helped sometimes. Thrillipede and the Yawn Traps are unacceptable, though.

I don't know,but I have a feeling that Aurora will be rare.For sure that Kaos will be EXTREMELY rare.

I just looked up what Shopkins are and they look like they flood the shelves of Dollar Tree. How can they be rare?

I think Ro-Bow and Tidepool will be the rarest.

Ro-Bow and Tidepool look like they could be incredibly popular among kids, and haven't been leaked to be in any of the first three waves. Most rare figures come out incredibly late, too.
I think Pain-Yatta could also of been as rare, but he has a Crystal Combo Pack in W3, so he might not be as rare. Particularly if the Magic Crystal becomes popular. Maybe Blaster Tron could become the rarest villain instead, although kids might see him as a worse version of Ro-Bow.

As for the shelf warmer (if there is one), I think it will be Tri-Tip. Grave Clobber could also be a warmer, but he comes out too late (not in the first three waves) so I'm not so sure.
However, he could start becoming a shelf warmer after everything has released. After the previous games had finished, I started seeing a lot more W4/5 characters than W1/2 characters.

Wild Storm could also become a "secondary" rarest Skylander - Not as rare as Ro-Bow and Tidepool, but still incredibly hard to find. Mysticat and/or Ambush could potentially become secondary warmers, too (maybe even the main warmer/warmers). Although not new, I think the triple packs (with older Skylanders) will also be incredibly rare too, probably even rarer than my other predictions.

If Idont get Blaster tron or Elsa i dont know what i will do.

You have no idea... They actually sell out a LOT! People love it.

The only packs that I forsee as becoming hard to obtain are Kaos and the Thumpin' Wumpa Islands Adventure Pack.

But, they could end up overproducing both, which would be nice.

Grave Clobber, probably.

Air Strike and Boom Bloom because they are in the adventure packs, so probably have a limited supply if even sold separately

My Guesses for light and dark:

1. Starcast will be semi-rare
2. Hood Sickle be more common than Starcast
3. Aurora will be a little rarer than Starcast
4. Blaster-Tron will be really rare
5. Light Creation Crystal will be semi-rare
6. Dark Creation Crystal will be rare

I have a feeling Aurora will be a shelf-warmer.

I think Kaos will be rare along with Blaster Tron and Grave Clobber and Ambush will be common along with Barbella and Chopscotch

there is...

30+ crystals
re-releases of old figures
a tons of variants (legendary,nitro,steel plated,helloween etc)


all these have the possibility to clog up the space of the shelves and prevent anything that is released in later waves.
