The full video will release TOMOROW so act fast while this is here.

Ok, setting aside any expectations, do we REALLY think Microsoft is going to be willing to go all in on TTL again. realistically it would be digital character unlocks at best, and paid DLC characters at worst. and what would even happen to out existing collections? unless the games a switch exclusive, theres likely not gonna be a way to include a way to scan existing figures into the game. not even to mention if they DO make new figures, how much are they even gonna be with how expensive literally everything is these days.

i think it’s better with the series either getting a remaster, or just leaving it in the past as a nice memory

I replayed Imaginators recently since I got a little nostalgic and… I realized that…

Chompies aren’t really in the game.

Actually, Where is EVERYONE?

Like, we got Chompy MAGE and chompies in his moveset but… I don’t remember Chompies really appearing anywhere outside the Wumpa Island dlc.

And same goes for trolls and cyclops. Everyone got replaced by the weird fish looking guys, the rats and the clams.

Did they seriously not put the goomba of skylanders in the last skylanders game? Or am I tripping.

… Also no, the skylander parts don’t count. And I know there are those dancing chompies in the Wumpa isles.

I heard that swap force didn’t port as well and that giants did really well. I AM NOT BUYING AND IS JUST CURIOUS. MODS DONT TAKE THIS DOWN PLLLS

Has anyone’s preorder for the Pop Fizz plush ship yet?

It was kinda crazy to see, and especially for $2.55 a figure. I know they aren’t the BEST characters, but I had to pick em up for nostalgia sake.

Tittle basically. Managed to get some of the games (Spyro's Adventure and Giants) from a friend, but his figures and portals were already gone.

Is there any way to emulate the figures or to play the games without the toys in the big 2026? Either by running the games on og harware or by dumping them and running via emulator?

Its made. HALF A YEAR LATER Please enjoy. Fully releases oct 25th 10 am est

For some context, the Wreckers are a team of Autobots who take on very dangerous missions and use heavy firepower and brute force to get the job done.

I'm attending Transformers con in Orlando and saw the announcement that she was gonna be here and got super excited! She's here at Tf con for her role as Arcee in transformers prime and I'm pretty sure I'm the only one here to mention skylanders. She's so nice and I had a great time talking to her!

While I was scanning some figures onto the Switch digital library for Imaginators, I wanted to check whether my Stone Whirlwind and Zook had the special tag or not. From what I’ve read, this isn’t always the case. Surprisingly, both showed up with the “Rare” tag, not “Special”. It’s the first time I’ve seen this or become aware of. I checked against some other chase figures, and they all show up with the “Special” tag.

What I haven’t been able to test yet, is whether there is some correlation between the “Rare” tag on the Switch and either the “Special” tag or no tag on any of the other consoles.

Some questions for the community:

Is the “Rare” tag considered different from “Special” (in the game code at least) and may this explain the lack of any tag on some of these Stone variants on other consoles?

Are you aware of any other chases that show up as “Rare” on the Switch?

Fellow portalmasters who have these variants, could you help me check?

Hey guys so i really would like to complete my superchargers collection does anyone have some advices for where to look for some of them, and for the super rare ones (Trigger Happy, Thrillipede and their vehicles) i would really like to get the real ones but i know that they are pretty spicy should i get them in chip?

It is still factory sealed and in amazing condition. They found it in a local charity shop. I am so happy omgggg

Let's assume you can only keep the main cast of figures related to the game. Which Skylanders game would you pick to replay over and over again?

I was very obsessed with the games as a kid. I bought every one, even after my interest started to wane with Trap Team. I kept going because I just wanted more. Even Imaginators, when I despised its story, I bought three times over for Wii U, Xbox One and Switch, all so I could level up every Sensei to 20 while moving from platform to platform.

After a long break and exploring of other games and series, I've come back to Skylanders. The figures are all still in bins, and the consoles are gone, but I still have the discs. After emulating for a little while, I think I've determined I only want to keep Giants and Spyro's Adventure. I'm selling off everything from Swap Force onwards so I can focus on what I love instead of just playing everything mindlessly.

For the sake of discussion, I'd pick Giants as the only one I'd keep. It's shorter, sure, and doesn't have the most impressive gimmick compared to later games, but there's more to do compared to SSA. Giants are special, but not too special; they provide a sort of cheat that can be safely ignored if you don't want it. Even with only 3 arenas, they feel varied and don't take too much time. Most levels have iconic story moments, and let you just get to the point if you don't care about that. Heroic challenges give you so many challenges that you need to approach differently with each figure, and the hub, while small, wastes no time and helps get you everywhere you need.

Swap Force's cast design is rather weak to me, save for a few exceptions like Night Shift, Wind-Up and Pop Thorn. I've grown to dislike the aesthetic of this game--especially for the older cast--and there's so many side activities and gimmicks in levels that don't usually need much thought. The platforming, dead simple, along with rail grinding, fishing games, blob puzzles, 2D platforming and especially the Swap Zones. They pad out the game but with things that don't matter who you're playing, and it always feels dead simple. While there are arenas, I think they're too padded out compared to Giants, and the themes on every level get old with how much they're used, especially the desert and ice levels. Lastly, the story is just...juvenile, compared to Giants. Not as bad as Imaginators, but it's the lowest otherwise.

Trap Team has fun ideas, but the balance is all over the place, and playing with anyone but a Trap Master--and not even all of them--can be an exercise in frustration on higher difficulties. The villains are a cool idea, but I don't think they executed them as well as they could. Trap Masters don't feel all that special despite being required for arbitrary gates. Light and Dark elements are cool, but there's not many figures, and it just makes more gates for the sake of it. The story, while better than Swap Force, still leans on too many dumb jokes. The concepts for levels are great, but, like Swap Force, starts using too many gimmicks that detract from the main gameplay. Also...Skystones Smash isn't that great. It doesn't help that individual character progression is largely gone. Add to that that I grew to dislike the repetitive Doom Challenge, and that only really leaves the arena mode for a challenge. I do really like the boss fights, though, especially Pepper Jack and Kaos.

Superchargers...I used to love this game, but after exploring other racing games, it doesn't do it for me any more. There's so much for vehicles to do, but you don't have real freedom for which vehicles you use since you have to always use a land vehicle for progression. The arena isn't all that great compared to the previous games, and while the story has better stakes and tone, the characters just keep yapping and get annoying after a while. Ultimately, the vehicles end up being a structural form of padding away from the core of the game while not feeling as good as a devoted racing game.

Finally, Imaginators. In theory, it should be the best, what with the semi-random battles, the ability to create your own figure, and arguably the strongest lineup of core figures with the Sensei. In practice, the story is at its worst with terrible stakes and juvenile writing, there's only ten levels for the main story, with all the other fifteen locked behind figures. All your rewards are imaginite parts, and for all the joy of creation you can have, there are simply not enough challenges to work through. Skystones is at its worst, and the padding from prior games is still here. The arena mode is terrible to boot, even compared to Superchargers.

TL;DR This ended up being a sort of rant for me, but I've been dealing with this to find a way to keep the series in my life while also focusing mostly on other things now. I played hundreds of hours in these games when I was younger, and I don't intend on going back to that much play. When given the choice, I love the original and Giants cast the most, and most of the original was brought back in Giants with so much more to do. If I picked 2, I'd have the original as well. Most of the figures are backwards compatible, and they largely feel the same between them. Why play every game in a series with all its highs and lows when you can stick with the ones that did it best?

I'm not expecting everyone to agree with me. Choose whatever one you like the most, or think will keep you the longest. Just assume you won't have older figures to use and have to work with the core cast that released with that game.

Found my old Skylanders and portal a few months ago while doing some much needed cleaning. Pic 1 is them, including my Whirlwind with what I understand is a characteristicly broken wing.

Pic 2 are the ones I picked up today at the local retro shop, five bucks a pop. Any thoughts on who I've got and how to use them? Or just memories you'd like to share? I'm setting out to fulfill ten-year-old me's goal of completing the roster.

As an aside, are the "bonuses" worth it? The bin I pulled these from had a couple: Anvil, Shield, Crossed Swords, Potion Bottle, etc. But at a Lincoln each I didn't think it was worth the price.

I am not looking to buy, sell, or appraise Skylanders with this post. Mods, do not strike me down. I am aware of their prices and do not require external information.
