I officially know what's in the Sheepwreck Island adventure pack. Believe it or not, I was out today at Rockville Target where I found Pop Thorn and the Tower of Time adventure pack. I sadly didn't have a camera on me, but I did look at the back and saw that the Sheepwreck Island pack will have Wind Up and two items called Platinum Sheep and Groove Machine. Also saw the magic and air Skylanders on the back and had another image of Dune Bug's figure, but no Scratch on the back. I tried to buy it, but they couldn't since it can't be sold til the 13th and the guy then told me someone must have accidentally put it on the shelves. So in the end, guess I was right about the whole Wind Up being in a pack thing and was surprised to have found that in the stores. Also I'd like to describe what the items look like the Platinum Sheep looks like a bronze like sheep statue and the Groove Machine kinda resembles the player on the Dread Yacht that Skylanders rap their names to.

Oh I believe it. I've seen stuff like this out early too. In fact I saw Zoo Lou out at Wal-Mart yesterday. Brace yourselves...the early swap force figures are coming!

Well sure I did, it's really just showing the content of the other adventure pack like how Empire of Ice showed Dragon's Peak and Like Pirate Seas showing Darklight Crypt on the back.

TrapShadowFan Emerald Sparx Gems: 3511	#22 Posted: 02:10:16 03/10/2013 I wonder if it will be like a level in the 3ds version of ssa where you go to these ruins and there are statues and stuff that turn you into a sheep temporarily if you touch them. That level was awesome lol. There was even a "sheep" elemental gate! I hope they add elements of that level's gameplay or I will has DISAPPOINT!

Well Zap buddy you, Windumup and everyone else won't have to worry about Wind Up's release if it gets released as quickly as the first four adventure packs back in SSA. Four adventure packs and they were literally released wave after wave.

Awesome. Most certainly not doubting you, given all the sightings that have been happening.. I just wanted to clarify that you did NOT have the pack itself in your hand, therefore it will NOT be out in Wave 1 as some of the posters on here seem to think given your initial description...

Believe it or not, ppl sometimes go out out with their phones or leave them in the car and lack the time to go pack and get them. If the item was out early and he tried to buy it and they took it away, tad hard to take a picture.

I found the disney inf woody at walmart 8 days ago before the oct 1st release but it was unable to be sold till the the 1st. Stores have the swap force items already as see in another thread with someone finding stuff this pass weekend at a tru. Sadly they are in the back waiting to be allowed to be sold

Now if this was like 3months ago i'd say it was a lie.

diddy50 Gold Sparx Gems: 2554	#34 Posted: 17:14:42 03/10/2013 If you remember, a lot of the Spyro's Adventure levels were VERY short. Like a few minutes to complete. I think the lack of two adventure packs doesn't mean Swap Force will have less content or longevity than SA.

I don't think Giants was any longer than SA, I'm in the boat who found it shorter. Giants' levels were not as long as people say- their "being longer than SA's levels" mantra is greatly exaggerated. The SA levels aren't all that short. Also, it doesn't matter if the levels are longer if they were less fun, when 50% of the game is a terrible puzzle-thon and the action and exploration is slowed down to the point it's sluggish.

Besides, speedrun any level- many of the Giants ones were only a few minutes long, too.
SA's levels had more variety because some where short and some were longer. Thus, the game had more variety, so I wanted to replay it more often, so I found more longevity in it. SA did have problems like puzzles slowing down some levels, but had more action and was good old' plain more fun(for various reasons), which made up for the parts I disliked. Giants does not make up for the parts I dislike, despite improving several things.

All my opinion, I just think that "the levels are longer now!" is a bad excuse. They didn't really make them longer, they just put more lock puzzles and block puzzles in them so that it padded them out- so in return for a "longer" set of levels, you get less game and less fun.
The main game of SA has action around every corner while still tossing in enough puzzles. Giants is just puzzles and walking around bare environments and waiting for hazards to go away with few exciting action sequences, and when you do tumble into one of the good fights in the game, it's short lived.
I think that what makes good longevity is something you want to return to, that keeps you entertained the whole way through. I felt like Giants had bad longevity, because while it has extras and difficulty modes, it wasn't fun doing that. I really hope SF is different.

Giants could technically be called "longer" since it has some larger levels, arenas, etc., but be honest- how much of that was actually that fun?

This. Giants was a good game, but it really failed trying to beat out SSA. I have more reason to play the first game over the second.

With Swap Force, the levels actually look longer without being badly designed, thanks to the jumping mechanic, more fun and interesting puzzles, and a lot more replay value.

My comment is sheer technical. There ARE more levels...there ARE more adventure packs. As others have attested, there's advantages and disadvantages on how they approached the level design / re playability for both.

Please correct me if I'm actually wrong. SSA is still the gold standard on which to be measured in terms of levels and re-playability. In my mind the balance was struck nicely in SSA. I hope the standard gets notched up with SSF. I'm a bit nervous with all of this talk about doing various things---it's a nice diversion...but will it strike balance or feel odd? We'll see.

Yes, I do agree that Giants was way too puzzle oriented and they were just a nuisance if anything. It really took the fun out of replaying. Another thing I hope Swap Force doesn't do is make levels like the two in giants, The one where you fly that dumb plane/ship thing and the one where you are the walking robot. Those levels were boring and really take away from playing as a UNIQUE Skylander, Oh and the dumb Hub of Giants!. SA was a Funner game in many ways but giants did make some improvements. So it really is hard to say which is better. I do believe that Swap Force will blow 'em both out the water though. GO FISH!
