Given the changes the game (increased levels), any thoughts on which elite companion is the best? The best one may change...
*Which is the best for level 1-39?
*Which will be the best at level 40?
*Any any of them useful at level 40 + have all Skylanders?

I am thinking about getting one of them next time they are on sale. And Cali is on sale today.

Does anyone have a list of the new mission times once you have Flynn? Even a quick list of the times before/after would be nice (i.e. 4 hours/3hours)

At level 40 I feel like the only companion that makes sense is Ermit. Being able to produce more Gems and Wishin' Stones with the Sanctuaries is the only perk I'll be interested when I finally hit 40 this week. I wish I picked him up when he was 50% off.

And here's most of the times for Adventures With Flynn. It's not up to date a I don't have Flynn and this was posted by a reader on my blog:

Quote:

Perilous Pastures – 1 Minute
Molekin Mountain – 2 Minutes
Shattered Island – 3 Minutes
Junkyard Isles – 6 Minutes
Oilspill Island – 7 Minutes
Goo Factory/Cyclops Square/… – 22 Minutes
Troll Warehouse – 45 Minutes
Cadaverous Crypt – 1 Hour
Battlefield/Crystal Eye Castle/… – 3 Hours
Dark Water Cove – 5 Hours
Empire of Ice – 7 Hours
Spyro Hometown – 9 Hours
Cutthroat Carnival – 12 Hours
Troll Factory/Dragons Peak/… -16 Hours

Thanks for those mission times. That's great info.

Let me make an argument for coupling Ermit and Flynn together post 40. This creates a nice little 5 hour window for Sanctuaries and sending your extra Skylanders to Dark Water Cove allowing for less frequent check-ins when trying to maximize collections. This pretty much allows me to snag 4 collections in a single day (7 AM, noon, 5 PM, and right before bed).

You would probably also like to have Ol' Mac in there to sustain all the energy consumption. Of course, we're getting pretty expensive at this point.

I think the extra energy can come from radiant fields if you can find them on a decent sale. I think portalflip.com has charts that list the required energy. It just becomes a simple math equation at that point.

I think perilous pastures is actually 45 seconds with Flynn.
