Discussion of E3 Revelations...

Just as E3 starts, I thought it might be nice to create a space for any and all Skylander reveals, etc.

Unno...it occurred to me that this could be a good year to miss E3.

Long story short, having Wiisdom there would be great but Activision was pretty lame there last year, in my opinion. They revealed some details before E3 and then chose not to elaborate any further at E3. I recall them being very tight lipped and non-comital. The result being that I felt E3 was a non-event for them (And..therefore...me.)

I'm hoping they come prepared to "PLAY", as it were, with significant information and "un-classified" details but if they take a page from last year's playbook and keep tight lipped...Well then...no harm done.

Well the fact that there is lots of info to give in little time, i think E3 will have lots of interesting news and characters.

Really upset how Activision handled E3 this year.

So this is apparently the E3 Variant being offerred this year:



and the standard for comparison...

I much prefer the blue wheeled variant, but is it possible this is part of a special edition Hot Rod pack? And that's whats being revealed this E3? I think that would be cool, and it could come with a special race track portal, similar to DI 2.0s special edition last year which had a special podium for all your figures. In a similar pricing it would come with 2.5 tomes the regular starter packs price, a special Race Track Portal that can be used to display up to 10 vehicles and 20 skylanders, 3 ultimate racers Superchargers figures and their respective vehicles in Hot Rod variant. If you buy this pack you will have everything you need to 100% the game (assuming all you need is 3 different types of vehicles land, sea and sky ).

I think this game will really appeal to my nastalgia of racing my hotweels cars

The biggest thing to me is that Vicarious Visions head guys ANSWER questions! I got a TON of info from them after hours...

I would have thought with the series making a departure from the norm, this would be a time you would want MORE people on the floor to relay news and hype the game.

Cars/Racing and Skylanders are right up my alley...It looks like coverage will be lackluster with either pre-fabbed releases, or really, really basic questions from people that might cover it for other outlets. The key here, again, is that the VV bros will answer questions and I don't think we will have anyone on site to ask meaningful questions.

That said, check this:

More Fiesta, the new Undead Element SuperCharger!

Fiesta Figure


Fiesta's Vehicle: Crypt Crusher


Pure Awesome:


Another Epic Bio!

Despite being undead, Fiesta had always been the life of the party. He was once the head member of a popular mariachi band in the personal court of Count Moneybone, who all undead citizens respected immensely. In his spare time, Fiesta and his bandmates played music for all of the new arrivals that entered the Underworld. However, a day came when the new arrivals were actually several Skylanders, who had come on a mission to stop Count Moneybone from unleashing a robot army on all of Skylands. Fiesta then realized that he, like so many others, had been fooled by the evil Count into thinking he was kind and generous – not the vengeful monster he truly was. Unbeknownst to the Skylanders, Fiesta and his bandmates helped to distract the robot army so they could infiltrate Moneybone’s mansion and put a stop to him. Even though the Skylanders were unaware, this act of bravery and defiance did catch the attention of Master Eon, who recruited him at once.
