Title: I created a Skylander!
Post by: UncleBob on June 19, 2012, 12:53:41 PM
So... I created a Skylander.
Seriously.
It's a Walmart exclusive 'red' Drill Sergeant. Started arriving in store yesterday on the West Coast.
Go buy them. :)
Honestly, I don't know exactly how much I had to do with it, but I've been talking with a guy at Home Office about Skylanders since Janurary or so. Back in Feburary, we were discussing the Skylanders market place and I suggested another Walmart exclusive (I believe this was when Blue Bash was shown as a TRU exclusive)... One of my two suggestions was a "Red/Glittery Drill Sergeant"... I got an email back today saying he's "my" figure... so go buy him and support my first official actual contribution to the video game industry. ;)

I ignored the array of Blue Bash figures at TRU yesterday, but if I see this...oh man, screw you, UB. I didn't want to buy the variants...
In other news, two away from all 32. Just missing Wham-Shell and Zook.

Good going, UncleBob. I hope you get more chances to make such choices/decisions.

Signed by the team developing the 3DS version of Giants. Hopefully, I've got another one coming signed by the Toys for Bob team and some of the folks at Activision. :D
And, tonight (this morning?) I finished the console version 100%. All 32 Heroic Challenges for all 37 figures. Everyone leveled up to level 10 with all power ups purchased. All Hats, scrolls, treasures and soul gems found. All accolades achieved. 3-Stars on all the levels. And the 3DS version was 100%'d some time ago.
Great game. :D

Grats. I am missing Wham-Shell to complete my collection. I can't find him anywhere. According to the game we're at 94% and I've got most the trophies except for Chaos without losing a life and defeating one of the bosses with just hydro-pump.
Also I have your collector one. Should send it to you to get it signed.

Oddly enough, I've actually already signed two. ;) More as a joke than anything though. :D
Wii version has no trophies. :( They should have built the trophies/achievements into the accolade system on the Wii. Given me something else to finish.
