Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

I have low expectations for all the light up characters after seeing Swarm only have one hand light up.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Light Core Prism Break looks so good though. I may just have to buy one of him just for looks. Too bad none of the others even come close.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Best Buy will have the Starter Pack for Giants at $49.99 on Black Friday. Series 1 characters look to be $2.99 each.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Only the Wii version listed in the ad at that price. Other systems might be the same price, but no indication yet. And the Series 1 figures will actually be $2.99.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Granite Crusher (Target Exclusive)
Max Health - 679
Speed - 20
Armor - 30
Critical Hit - 50
Elemental Power - 32

I don't have the regular edition Crusher so I don't know his.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

I'm really enjoying playing this and I just completely leveled up Flashwing. I only need her soul gem and that upgrade which is located in the last level of the game. I'm working on leveling up Hot Head and I have already purchased all of his upgrades. What this game really needs at the least is some online co-op and what would be great would be a Skylanders Universe game with multiple online players with quests, adversarial matches and other things to do.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Thanks! That's the information I was looking for.

Are those the starting stats of an unused/new character? If so the max will also be different.

Here are the stats for Crusher:

Health: 470 (max. 940)
Speed: 20 (max. 68)
Armor: 24 (max. 54)
Critical Hit: 40 (max. 90)
Elemental Power: 25 (max. 100)

If those you posted are the starting stats then the characters *are* different in much the same manner as the Legendary characters differ from the regular.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Just a heads up an a YMMV but if you have an FYE close to you and are in need of some actual Giants then go and check as mine had them tagged at 9.99.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Exclusive gold Series 2 Flameslinger now in stock at Amazon for $9.99.



Santa just scored one for <strike>me</strike> my boy.

If you need Hot Head get it before it sells out.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

^I managed to snag one from Amazon last week. It's currently at the local PO awaiting delivery tomorrow! :)

Surprisingly, this is still showing in stock at BB...

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

My special Flameslinger came today. It's really cool looking -- while it looks gold in the picture, it's actually a reddish, metallic hue. Bronze-like. And on a regular base so it's not actually all one color. My boy will like it for sure.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Wave 3 is rumored to be out next week and Wave 4 in December.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Any idea if it will happen during the week or on BF?

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

I discovered a nice way to get about 6,000 coins every two minutes. It can be done after you beat the game. You can have enough money to buy all of any character's upgrades in less than 10 minutes.

Also, there is a way to get continual large amounts of XP during the last boss fight.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

TRU online currently has all the Giants figures on a B1 get 1 at 50% off sale. It only works with a *single* redemption per order so shipping can kill it depending on your needs. For me it worked out OK as I picked up a Legendary Bouncer and the regular Crusher for just over $30 shipped. There's no TRU within 70 miles of my town and that's a couple of dollars less than if I were able to purchase both locally at regular price so I'm pleased.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

I don't know if I believe it. I think the TRU reps they talked to were just referring to the Legendary Stealth Elf being available on Black Friday.

Edit: My daughter is asking Santa for Wham-Shell... I guess I may have to end up buying that stupid TRU Display Case.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

If you don't own Skylanders Giants yet and don't want to deal with BF sales. TRU has it for $44.99 after coupon.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

I know it just came out, but man I wish these deals would include the WiiU version (i know, I know, TRU has the B1G1 40% off deal). Ah well.

Anyone get it on WiiU? Any differences besides being able to play it on the tablet?

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

I'm curious where everyone is in new figures collecting now.

For me:

Tree Rex Giant
Jet Vac
Cynder S2
Granite Crusher Giant
Pop Fizz
Bouncer Giant *
Swarm Giant *
Chill *
Gold Battle Pack (Shroom Boom, Gold Cannon, Chop Chop S2) *
Flashwing
Sprocket *
Hot Head Giant *
Gold Flameslinger S2 *


* = Still in box, hidden in closet, upcoming present for son.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Got the game, 2 giants and 2 new figs from wave 1. All Christmas gifts. That's good enough for now.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Since you ask:

Starter Pack:
Tree Rex
Jet Vac
Cynder S2

Giants:
Crusher
Granite Crusher
Bouncer
Legendary Bouncer
Swarm
Hot Head

Regular:
Pop Fizz
Chill
Flashwing
Sprocket
Fright Rider
Shroom Boom (in Regular Battle Pack)
Chop Chop S2 (in Regular Battle Pack)
Legendary Ignitor (Legendary Giants 3 pack)
Legendary Slam-Bam (Legendary Giants 3 pack)
Legendary Jet Vac (Legendary Giants 3 pack)

Misc:
Dragonfire Cannon (in Regular Battle Pack)

*ALL* are put away for Christmas.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

-eek- That's some self-control right there.

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Most of these are put away for X-Mas / misc rewards. The only ones we have out are Legendary Bouncer, Tree-Rex, Jet-Vac and Gitd Cynder. We are using mostly series 1 figures. I finally found Wham-Shell but I can't find Zap...

Re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

I glanced over the review and I think the main addition was seeing the stats on the tablet while you played on the TV. Not really a big deal imo.
