darkSpyro

Do we know if any store will be offering bonuses or exclusives for a pre-order through their location yet?

Also, can someone break down for me how all the different triple packs work? I already own all skylanders form the 1st game (except for dark spyro - no 3ds). Am i being forced to buy a re-pose of the original 32 to get one of the new characters and a battleground? If this is true I may actually have to pass on these and wait for the individual packs to release.

I assume these battle arena's are similar to the best buy exclusive volcanic vault for the 1st game?

**edit**

I also see the final 4 chapters are the same name as the original 4 adventure packs. Do we know if these will work on Giants or will i have to make another purchase?

Adventure packs work but have been re-skinned
For Shroomboom yes but you also get a Dragonfire Cannon so it is not that bad.

Battle packs are like the magic items from adventure packs and 2 characters

also, will the old magic items work?

Yes they will

Online you get a specific skylander at toys r us but at stores you can choose from the certain ones they have in the back

Well I'm confident that everything from the Amazon.de leak is Wave One- and everything from that list cannot be a store exclusive due to being pre-orderable online.

The loophole here is colored variants like the dragonfire cannon (called cannon piece)being in the leak and then later gamestop (and its international affliates) announcing that they have an exclusive on the golden dragonfire cannon pack. There is also the amazon gold Flameslinger (Flameslinger was also in the leak).

I be thinking I be seeing all the major players having gold variants this time around.

But that list was for Germany, some may be US retailer exclusives.

If you preorder from toysrus you get a free L trigger happy and blue bash

Not any more, last week it changed to just L-trigger happy.

Well that's good, I don't need a blue bash or L trigg either I have them both

I'd like it if you could just pre-order the figures for once. At least then they'd have a better idea of how much to send to the stores and avoid the major shortages that are sure to occur this close to christmas.

I got my cannon preordered.... only thing I could prorder outside of the game. Lol
