Hello Portal Masters,
I updated my article on the Intro and Booster package.
Activison seems to want you to buy additional portals. Very fan unfriendly if that all stays this way.
CU next time.

Skylanders Giants: Amazon Leak Take Down
Hello Portal Masters,
Amazon.de must have been slapped by Activision for leaking the infos and removed them from their site.
I honestly don't understand it, since the infos are now all over the internet anyway.
If you still wanna see the information, there is sort of a trick:
Watch this youtube clip where Family Gamer's TV shows the leaks.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5upMOoO3SU
Of course, you can find all the info on my blog but for those of you who do not believe the information existed you can see it in the video.
I really hope we will see the last new figures soon! And will finde out who will not get a series 2.
Until next time!

Skylanders Giants: Picture
Hello Portal Masters,
There is not much going on on the Skylander's front.
But at least I have a better picture of the fire giant, who may be named Hot Head
(source: http://www.thegrocer.co.uk/pictures/620xAny/8/5/1/13851_skylanders-giants.gif)
Hope to get other news soon!

Skylanders Giants: New Picture
Hello Portal Masters,
I used this pic in a lower quality version for the fire elemental and the water elemental posts, but since this is better quality I wanted to share it (and will change the pics in the article for the Skylanders):
(source: http://distilleryimage10.s3.amazonaws.com/2e0dd95eca2011e1aee522000a1e8a5f_7.jpg)
I think, this pic now show, that the elf is a girl.
Amd I still love the dog! On of my new favourites!
CU next time!

Skylanders Giants: Intro Packs
Hello Portal Masters,
Man, I just look through my blog and saw, I never posted the content of the intro pack, to I want to do this right now.
As far as i know, there will should be four versions:
1. Starter Pack for PS3/Wii/Xbox 360 and eventually Wii U including
(PS3/Xbox 360 74,99 €, Wii 69,99 €)
2. Booster Pack for PS3/Wii/X-box 360 and eventually Wii U including
(PS3/Xbox 360 59,99 €, Wii 54,99 €)
3. Starter Pack for 3DS including
(69,99 €)
4. Booster Pack for 3DS including
(54,99 €)
I don't know, if the toys are gonna be these versions or if there will be differences, but these are the characters included.
I am a little upset, since I never played the 3DS game and I LOVE Pop Fizz, but I will hopefully be able to get them all anyway, so it is alright.
But I really don't like that 2 of 3 characters are the same for the packs (I mean comparing 3DS and home console versions, since the games are different and not many people would buy the game for PS3, Wii and Xbox).
They should have included a different Giant and Series two so that it is worth buying both.
Spyro's Adventure had three different charactes, for the 3DS version so for me, this seems a way to make more money, not considering the players's wishes (who wants another 2 Cynders, especially since series 2 can change their upgrades).
I also think, if the pricing stays like this, who buys the booster pack?
I mean you get two more characters and a new portal for just 15 more Euros?
That seems sooo wrong. (console version)
And again, the same Giant for 3DS and console? So NO new character if you bus both boosters?
That does not seem fan friendly to be honest. And you can't even sell him cause everyone who wants to use him needs the game and therefore has him. What is Activision thinking?
Do like the choices for intro packs?
Let me know in the comments!

Skylanders Giants: Battle Pack Update
Hello Portal Masters,
I found some new info about the battle packs.
According to http://gotgame.com/2012/06/19/e3-2012-preview-skylanders-giants/ they will include:
2 exclusive figures and a special battle-mode arena
and will be 24.99 USD
The first pairing will be Undead vs. Life
so I wonder, if they will do more battle packs including pairings like Water vs. Fire, Air vs. Earth and Magic vs. Tech.
But only time will tell.
Will you get the battle pack?
I am still not sure if the arena is worth as much as a third Skylander (since battle packs and tripple packs seem to be at the same price) but so far, it seems to be the only way to get Chop Chop remodeled and Shroomboom non Lightcore (I don't think the battle pack will include the Lightcore version, but who know).
C U next time!

Skylanders Giants: Characters known so far
Hello Portal Masters,
Wow, I feel like there is sooo much going on, I lost my overview, so I thought, I will do a short summary of what we know about Giant Characters. It includes the info released by amazon.de, so if they did something wrong, it is included in here :)
This will include speculations! So be warned that the information might not be 100% corrrect!
I tried marking them in italic
There will be
8 Giants
8 Light Core Skylanders (4 returning and 4 new)
8 New Skylanders
24 Series 2 Skylanders
Let's start:
-------------------------------------
Giants:
Earth: Crusher
Air: Swarm
Fire: Hot Head
Water: (big whale with anchor)
Undead: -------
Life: Tree Rex
Tech: Bouncer
Magic: -------
----------------------------------------
There are still 2 Giants we have not seen yet. Water Giant's name is still missing!
----------------------------------------
Light Core:
Earth: Prism-Break
Air: Jet-Vac
Fire: Eruptor
Water: ----
Undead: -----
Life: Shroomboom
Tech: Drobot
Magic: ---
---------------------------------------
There are still 3 Lightcore missing, one should be an old Skylander, 2 should be new.
I speculate Hex for undead, leaving Chill and Pop Fizz for Light Core.
--------------------------------------
New Skylanders:
Earth: Flashwing
Air: Jet-Vac
Fire: [fire dog]
Water: Chill
Undead: Fright Ride
Life: Shroomboom
Tech: Sprocket (no pic yet)
Magic: Pop Fizz
--------------------------------------
One name and one image still missing!
--------------------------------------
24 Series 2 Skylanders:
(I will asume, that the lightcore characters also get a series 2 version!)
Earth:
1 Bash
2 Terrafin
3 Prism Break
Fire:
1 Flameslinger
2 Ignitor
3 Eruptor
Undead:
1 Hex
2 Chop Chop
3 Cynder
Tech:
1 Drobot
2 Trigger Happy
3 Drill Sergeant
Air:
1 Whirlwind
2 Sonic Boom
3 ---- (my guess: Warnado)
Water:
1 Gill Grunt
2 Slam Bam
3 --- (my guess:Zap)
Life:
1 Zook
2 Stump Smash
3 ---- (my guess: Strealth Elf)
Magic:
1 Double Trouble
2 --- (my guess: Spyro)
3 --- (my guess: Wrecking Ball)
-------------------------------------
So, there are still 5 characters missing.
I have to say, if this is correct, I am suprised. I would have guessed they would release all adventure pack characters, but there is no space for them left.
So we can make a little, no reprint list
Earth: Dinorang
Fire: Sunburn
Undead: Ghost Roaster
Tech: Boomer
Air: --- (my guess: Lightning Rod)
Water: --- (my guess: Wham-Shell)
Life: --- (my guess: Camo)
Magic: --- (my guess: Voodood)
So, that's it for today!
Man, amazon really made me do lot's of work.
But we are getting closer to figure it all out!
CU next time (hopefully comic con brings more news!)
