I guess people are going to ask my take on the Elite's at some point. First of all some chaos went down with how many were announced. It is 6 out of 8 not 7 out of 8 or 8 out of 8. We don't know what the other 2 are yet. It's just being assumed that Fire is going to be Sunburn. It's not something that has been said by Activision yet.
As for what I plan to do with it as a whole. If it's true that these are all Series 2 figure based Skylanders from SSA....Since I still use Giants for a lot of my grunt work of getting Heroics done for older characters, I will probably end up with 2 sets of these. Not all of them right away. I will get Boomer at launch tho because I know how hard he is to get all Heroics and how rewarding it is. Ghost Roaster I will have to look into how to avoid the glitch. The one I have laying around currently is on the Fear Eater path with some 50+ Hours put into that one.
So yeah this is based on if they actually come with Wow Pow's now. Path changes I don't see it as a big issue because I won't be able to switch the paths on them in the older games so I see the price tag worth a 2nd one for a 2nd path for the price these are coming at.
