In our continuing series of reviews of MEGA Bloks Skylanders Giants sets we now get to our last two Battle Portals. The Battle Portals that we get to this time are for Ignitor and Chop Chop. We also play another game with the Ultimate Battle Arcade called Battle Shuffle. The game is like shuffleboard and you take your battle portals and slide them as close as you can to the gate without hitting the sheep. To play this game you need to rebuild the Ultimate Battle Arcade in a different configuration. This is one of my favorite games to play in the Ultimate Battle arcade. Here is our review. (Disregard the opening title, I screwed it up and didn’t change it from the last review of Terrafin and Dark Spyro.)
One of the most hotly anticipated video game sequels was released on October 21. Skylanders Giants is the follow up to last year’s Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure. I played Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure last year and all throughout the year. I loved it and collected each and every Skylanders figure that I could get my hands on. There were 32 regular figures from Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure which works out to four figures from each of the eight elements (Life, Water, Undead, Fire, Air, Tech, Earth and Magic). I bought them all plus four legendary figures and a few other special ones. Now with Skylanders Giants there are 48 figures plus variants so by the time I’m done collecting this time around I’ll probably have close to 100 figures. But that is okay because I LOVE this series of games and I’m playing everything that has to do with Skylanders and Skylanders Giants. I even wrote a handy guide for people interested in the Skylanders Giants game.
Here’s how the characters break down for Skylanders Giants:
Eight brand new regular size characters, one from each element.
Eight brand new Giants figures, one from each element.
Eight Lightcore regular size characters, one from each element.
Twenty-Four regular size Series 2 Skylanders figures (characters from Skylanders: Spyro’s adventure in new poses)
4-6+ Legendary Figures
4-6+ Variant Figures
On the day of the release I bought every single figure that was released and on the next day Toys R US had a wave two preview and I bought all but two of the figures from that wave, I still cannot find Lightcore Jet Vac. A friend online actually found and bought Hot Head (Fire Element Giant) for me and tweeted to me that he got it for me, so excited for that one.
