Hello guys and today now that I have bought SuperChargers and all of the first wave I may begin to make a conclusion on my thoughts of the game. First off I have not played the game for a reason in which I will get to shortly so I won't be commenting on the actual game itself. Instead I am commenting on the Starter Pack and Wave 1.

The starter pack is alright, coming with Spitfire, Hot Streak and Super Shot Stealth Elf. It also comes with the portal, poster and actual game itself. One thing I noticed is that the stater pack Skylanders didn't come with stickers, unless I'm blind and just could find them, as far as I am concerned they were not there, however I did get these battlecast cards which weren't that interesting.

The starter pack itself was alright besides that one flaw and the vehicles grabbed my attention enough to spend a lots on these guys. However one thing I did not like was the Wii U starter pack, which I really wanted to continue to play on the legendary Nintendo console however this meant getting Turbo Charged Donkey Kong which I really did not want, so I decided to get it on the PS4 and then I realised I did not have a PS4! But of course that wasn't Activision's fault, however it could have been prevented if the regular starter pack was on the Wii U.

It seems like Activison has ditched trading cards and codes as with all the Wave 1 Skylanders I did not see one Trading Card which really disappoints me. While the toys look really cool, enough to make me feel I got the value for my money I did not like the inconsistency with some vehicles. We have Supershot Stealth Elf and no Stealth Stinger and the Sea Shadow and no Nightfall. This would really confuse kids that know little or nothing about their marketing strategies releasing them in waves.

With the exclusion of cores it may feel like there are less figures, but if you include the vehicle then it rounds to the same amount discluding reposes. SuperChargers has been financially the easiest for collectors and were rewarded with possibly the most interesting cast of Skylanders that I have seen so far.

Although I haven't played the game yet, it definitely feels like it will be good. Due to some flaws that left a bad impression, the Skylanders offered this year were very interesting so therefore I give the Starter Pack and Wave 1 a 7/10.
