Why? You never plan to get a PS4?Damn, it's a PS4 exclusive. I guess it doesn't matter how good it is, or what they've done to it, I'll never be able to play it.
No, I've used my XBOX ONE more often as a blu-ray player than a game system, and the PS4 has an even worse game selection (particularly exclusives). This generation of consoles sucks.Why? You never plan to get a PS4?

I only agree that playing Blu-ray on PS4 sucks.No, I've used my XBOX ONE more often as a blu-ray player than a game system, and the PS4 has an even worse game selection (particularly exclusives). This generation of consoles sucks.
GS has Superchargers starters for $9.99, and Trap starters can be had for $10-15 range at several places. I'd buy one or both of those, and see if he likes it before you invest in Imaginators. If you get a trap portal, it will work with all other games in the series, so you just need to get the disc for an earlier entry (which can be had used from $0.99 to $4.99 at GS, depending on which game and system) to play earlier games. XBOX360 portals can only be used on 360 systems, ONE portals with ONE systems, 3DS with 3DS, but the remaining others are interchangeable.Welp, not only are we getting Dimensions for all the kids, the youngest has wanted Skylanders since about when he could talk. So, I need to know what I should get. Wife wants us to get it for either PS3 or 360, so he can play in the game room if his sisters want the big TV or to play on the Xbox One (Dimensions). Looks like Imaginators is on sale next week for current gen, but not prior.
I'm also seeing cheap deals on Superchargers and Trap Team starter packs, but I don't know what the local availability of the older figures are. I know the basic concept, and figure compatibility. Otherwise, not much. I think he'd be happy with anything, but I'd rather he not get a crap game.
Trap team portal works with both superchargers and imaginators.Wait, the Trap Team portal works with Superchargers and Imaginators too or just the earlier games (Spyro/Giants/SF/TT)?
My kid enjoyed trap team the most by far. (he is 5) The way the traps interact with the portal was really well done.Thanks for this. I was under the impression from the SL site that the Trap Team portal wasn't compatible with anything else, but I was reading it wrong. I ordered Trap Team for PS3 from Best Buy for $11, and I think I'll go ahead and grab the Swap Force disc while it is plentiful.
I would grab that disc while the getting is good. The guy at GS said they no longer buy them, so when the stores near you run out, that's it.Thanks for this.

No, Activision wouldn't dare confirm any such thing during the Christmas holiday. Nor would they make staff reductions that would inevitably cause news to come out. The first official indication will come from the quarterly announcements in Feb-March (if it is true), and likely gaming sites will start getting more anonymous confirmation in the lead up to that. Things like downsizing/reassigning teams will loosen lips of people that work on it. They will probably do that stuff right before the end of the year to clear the costs off their bottom line for the new year and buff up profits, but too late to affect holiday sales seriously.Has there been anymore to the rumor that the next installment after imaginators is cancelled?
Disney Infinity flooded the shelves, so there were a ton to liquidate (which is the main reason it failed in the first place). These haven't been produced at nearly the rate those were.Already bought the starter set for the kids for Christmas but am hesitating on picking up additional characters and accessories just in case it goes the route of Disney Infinity where everything went to clearance prices overnight almost.
Still got a lot of figures that i bought for superchargers that I haven't given to them yet.
Do you have a link? There's supposed to be a Skylanders Day on the 17th and 18th. There may (or may not) be better deals on those days, but no details have been posted anywhere as of yet. 2 for $20 is a pretty good deal, even if we have seen this price before on BF and Target's ad (works out to 3 for $30) over the same span, but they didn't have Jingle Bell Chompy Mages (or any Wave 3 figures) back then.Per next week's Gamestop Ad (12/11 - 12/17), the Senseis are Buy 2 for $19.99. Didn't see it posted.
Anything about the creation crystals being on sale?Per next week's Gamestop Ad (12/11 - 12/17), the Senseis are Buy 2 for $19.99. Didn't see it posted.

Nope. Just the Senseis.Anything about the creation crystals being on sale?
The problem is Gamestop paid money for that exclusive, and when they do so it is so they can push an event - a Skylanders Day/Weekend. They have one when he is due out. They spent the money on the advertising/exclusive, so the last thing they want is for customers to show up at the store for that and not have any because they sold them a week early - making those customers mad and leaving without buying anything.A GS I stopped at yesterday had Mystical Bad Juju on the shelf. But he street dated me for the 12/17 release date. I was pretty bummed! I wanted whine like a baby that it's just a toy, not a game...I could understand release dates with the variants for the first few Skylanders generations, but not this one. There are like 50 Birthday Bash Pop Fizzs at my TRU still from Superchargers.
I wonder if this year's Skylanders Day will only be the release of that Juju variant, and not have any additional deals. 2 for $20 is good enough for me, but I'd hate to buy now and have them offer a better deal later. Variants aren't just for the hardcore: I often buy variants instead of the regular ones, and I'm sure I'm not alone. The better base stats some variants have are a plus. GS also generally charges a lot more for the pre-owned variants than it does for the pre-owned standard versions. Don't know if that's the market, or their screwy reasoning.The problem is Gamestop paid money for that exclusive, and when they do so it is so they can push an event - a Skylanders Day/Weekend.

Keep in mind they apparently learned their lesson this time and variants are not coming out in huge stock this year. Many of the earlier ones are drying up, and even my good sized TRU only got in like 6 Christmas Chompy Mage. They probably do not have a ton of them for the event. Variants were always a niche thing, mainly for the more dedicated collectors - and many of those aren't really interested anymore - variants used to seem more limited, but those 50 Birthday Bash Pop Fizzes are a good example why they aren't any longer.
I've heard rumors of this. Where is this shown?Has anyone mentioned the 10 for $20 on interactive figures shown in the same ad that's above?
I don't think I could find 10 figures in a single store that I'd want, but for the people just hopping into Skylanders/Infinity that's a great deal.
It's apparently in the ad above, but not in the section he scanned.I've heard rumors of this. Where is this shown?
That makes the figures around $7.50 each, because of the buy 2 get 1 free sale starting today.Target cart wheel has 25% off crystals and sensei. Specifically says it works with other in store offers.
Yeah, it's a half a page ad two or three pages after the part that was scanned. Fine print says amiibo are excluded, but there are a few infinity dudes shown.It's apparently in the ad above, but not in the section he scanned.
All non-Imaginators starters are $14.99.Toys R Us has the superchargers dark edition for the Wii priced at $14.99 with free shipping. I understand this is the Racing game, however, for $15 you get 2 vehicles, 2 characters, and the Kaos Trophy (plus the game and portal). I just picked up the starter pack of superchargers yesterday for the Wii U at gamestop for $10 so this is a nice addition to that. Good luck.

where is the $10 off $50 coupon? Don't see it on Cartwheel app..Got a nice haul today - 3 senseis and 3 crystals for about $42 (after taxes) at Target after discounts and Cartwheel. Most stores were picked over, with nothing but Tri-Tip, Aurora, Magicat, and the occasional Ember remaining, but one store still had some Chopscotches, Hood Sickles, and Starcasts left, so I got one of each of those. You also don't need to buy two crystals to get the discount.
I see now I might have saved even more, as there's a $10 off $50 purchase coupon I didn't see unless it was too late. Not sure if video games (or Skylanders) count as toys, but it's worth a try for anyone lucky enough to find it all in one place.
I ended up buying three bundles yesterday. Good to know so I can get some money back.Not only did I find 10 figures I needed at one store, PUR stacks on the deal. Got a bunch of trap masters and a couple of supercharger dudes for $1.80 a piece.
