Tweet for a chance to win a SWAP Force Starter Pack

The official @SkylandersGame twitter account is hosting a contest as part of SWAPtober or more rightly stated as #SWAPtober.
Everyday you can submit your favorite new SWAP combination, catchphrase of that new swap and included the hash tags #SWAPtober and #skylanders.

For the full rules be sure to checkout bit.ly/GzGcOP

Only one entry per day but I guess you can submit lots of swaps per day. Many people are.

Here is an example we did yesterday.

Today's SWAP of choice: Night Blade "Hit and Run" #SWAPtober #skylanders

Skylanders Giants LightCore - The good old days

Ran across this old ad today on YouTube. Ahhh... The good old days. Ha, back when LightCore was new and cool. But at least they chose Prism Break because he has the best LightCore effect according to the voting at our house. Drobot got voted the worst LightCore. It looks like he will stay at the bottom of the list unless Light Core Hex is extremely pathetic.
Which is your favorite LightCore? Which is the worst? Do you have a favorite one coming in Skylanders Swap Force?

Swap Force Secrets... Dark Secrets

Two days ago the @SkylandersGame twitter account posted a picture with 10 eyes and these words, "We've got a Dark Secret..."

The wannabe Skylander kids (WSK) have already seen Dark Ninja Stealth Elf so it wasn't too hard for them to guess that the teaser image was for "dark" version of other characters. The question for them was WHO? Now I, wannabe Skylander Dad, have access to more resources and found some interesting work by other fans that solved the mystery very fast and easily.

So I showed the annimated GIF created by dark52 and posted to darkSpyro.net to the WSKs and they nearly jumped through the ceiling. They are so excited for more Skylander variants. Nice Work dark52!

Well then today they posted the image below. Could it be a hint of something to come. Of course! He looks very Pirates/Black Pearl-esk.

We'll see on Monday when the final reveal happens on Facebook.com/SkylandersGame
