Well, my cousin might want the Dark Edition, and she'd get it for either Wii or 360, so I'd get the Wii U regular starter pack(we don't have the Dark edition for Wii U in PAL... how dumb...). It's something that's under consideration now that 360achievements leaked more features and levels(but the lack of old adventure packs maddens me!).
However, I'm extremely, extremely apprehensive to dip in to the actual game, because I know it will be all or nothing and they make it frustrating to get stupid recoloured Skylanders(see Dark Pack). We still aren't able to get Royal Double Trouble locally in any form. Plus, I don't want two starter packs(my cousin wants to play it on Wii U too! Why can't they have a Wii U Dark Pack here!
). And I already ranted about why I currently hate the fandom(I didn't even finish covering all of my reasons).
The good news is that I finally got rid of all my variants besides the Tech ones, Platinum Treasure Chest and Employee Prism Break, so I don't feel so bad about ignoring them now at all. It was just way too expensive and frustrating and I still needed 18 more of them. My
mum now has more variants than I do.
Though wether I get the game or not, I'm planning to buy whatever has a Tech base (even the variants) and Boom Jet(I don't understand why he isn't getting more love, I mean come on he's surfing on a supersized turbine jet and he calls in an air force to fight for him!). I'll also buy a pre-owned S3 Dark Spyro if I find one under $30(the series 1 version was my first Skylander, soooo).
