It is important to know that both cortex and crash need each other to unlock their soul gems, so if you want their full experience you maybe should buy both
honestly I feel like it's more practical to just get NFC cards of the entire roster. I personally would never pay more than $50 on a single figure from a dead game. I was lucky enough to have most of the physical Senseis from when the game came out, including all of the adventure pack characters, most Trap Team villains except for Chompy Mage, and Kaos. For collectors' sake, I understand the appeal of having the figures, and honestly anyone is free to spend their money as they please, but I feel like it's a much more sound investment to go with NFC cards.
@Cameron_Bendy22it’s not theft. Toys for Bob don’t loose the ability to sell Skylanders as they are no longer making new Skylanders. It is however technically copyright infringement, which is illegal, but you only get into trouble for selling nfc cards, not owning or creating them.
My brother who’s a hardcore skylanders collector, said that the problem with imaginators is that if you compare the sensei’s to the SSA Skylanders, they are no longer cartoony and less detailed, but are now more realistic and detailed, and if you didn’t know what imaginators was, the figures wouldn’t look like skylanders Tl;dr Skylanders progressively looked less and less like skylanders

Great vid! I'd recommend also doing a what you should actually buy for trap team because it would help out people who don't know what to get since its up there with imaginators in terms of price.
Last week, I went to a thrift store and got a bunch of in box imaginations figures all ranging from 3-5 dollars each. The figures were. .Buckshot .Painyatta .Tidepoil .Ember .Tae kuon Krow .Chopschootch .Ambush .Blastertron
here in germany in 2020 or 2021 dont remeber wich some stores sudenly starded selling a lot of super chargers and swap forces figures for a couple of weeks for 3 to 5 euro each maybe they had some stock left from years ago and decided to sell them for cheap just to get ride of them i dont know was pretty conviniend for me thou since i had just recently gotten back into skylanders back then
This is very helpful as someone that needs one of each element so I can do all the special stuff like in TT. So far I only have Ro-Bo and Golden Queen so this will help me for future finds
Lucky for me I have a good maturity of the Imaginators figure, even Wild Storm and Robow I got in store for regular price before they were expensive. But that Dark Element is the only thing I’m missing, I’m SO CLOSE to having the game %100 but I just need a Dark sensei to unlock the dark realm so I can beat it. And of course that’s the one ware the figures are more expensive. Lol
I find this very funny because i'm in the opposite boat where i have like 6 senseis and am pretty much barred from over half of the elemental levels because two of them happen to be hood sickle and starcast. I also can't really be bothered to go online and buy more because i haven't played imaginators in over a year. Maybe a thrift store has some just sitting around...
Two words in and you are completely wrong… i know they are going to go up in price in my lifetime, plus the nostalgia and collection aspect because the figures themselves are so cool and yeah they will crash and be 1$ each eventually but ill be dead by then.. id gladly spend hundreds if it secures a very satisfying collection, a fun game for me and my kids and possibly a fortune just before i die
Well, I had no idea wild storm was that much I got him and I thought he was only around $80 for resell and I got them at the thrift store for three dollars plus another character
If you want to complete the Imaginators, which is necessary for 100%, you need to get 10 Creation Crystals, both Adventure Packs, BOTH BLUE INAGINITE CHESTS, & ALL 31 SENSEI!!! Not even Trap Team was this bad, since you only needed 10 figures, 11 traps, and 4 Adventure/Expansion Packs for 100%, which is 20 less than Imaginators, and the prior games barely had anything.
For Comparison: Spyro's Adventure needs 8 Skylanders and 4 Adventure Packs. Giants needs 1 Giant + SSA's roster, alongside 2 battle packs, being the easiest to 100%. Swap Force needs 8 Swappers, 2 Adventure Packs, and 2 Battle Packs. Trap Team needs 10 Trap Masters, 11 Traps, and 4 Adventure/Expansion Packs. Superchargers needs 1 Supercharger, 3 vehicles (1 for each type), and 3 trophies (4 if you want Kaos), making it the second easiest to 100%, until you decide to do the Supercharger Combo Challenges, which require the other 17 (19 on Wii U) Superchargers and 15 (17 on Wii U) vehicles, making it the second hardest to complete instead. Imaginators needs ALL 31 SENSEI, 10 CREATION CRYSTALS, 2 ADVENTURE PACKS, AND 2 BLUE CHESTS!!! It somehow is harder than Superchargers if you decide to do the Supercharger Challenges.
I will say Hood Sickle is somewhat difficult to use him properly and to his full potential. So for the average skylander player they should get star cast because he is easier to use than hood sickle.
I got Starcast for $3. I just went to my local game store on black friday and they sold "big" (gimmicks like Giants, Swaps, Traps, and Senseis) for $3 bucks and Starcast was originaly priced in a bag for $33 but one of his arms came off so I got the discount anyways. So basically I saved $30 just to lose an arm.
Here in europe every sensei cost around 20-25€+ and to add more an atleast 10€ shipping but most of the time you will find them at 30. I checked some US deals and the prices are really like you said. Here in europe it's always been a scam buying senseis
I started playing the game and I live the game. But I do want to get TidePool for some reason. Maybe I will pick up her up after I get a sensei of each class first. All these wasted years. Creating my character is just too much fun. I’m playing on expert mode to unlock nightmare mode. When I have enough skylanders. I also have my first giant too.
thanks i know that a lot of pepol do not enjoy imaginators beqouse of the prices and i am one of those but i bought the crash bandicoot starterpack and i have fun with the four sensais i have
We may not get a new skylanders game at summer game fest but we can hope for 2025 but it might be a remaster collection Spyros adventure giants and swap force and it’s gonna be digital instead of the toys I’m okay with that as long as there’s new skylanders that we never seen before
Hi, i'll start playing imaginators for the first time soon! Do you NEED senseis to play/continue the game? I grew up with the first 3 games, now got the last 3 with all the skylanders and items from the games except for imaginators
There are no elemental portals in Imaginators, you only really need the senseis to unlock special zones for each element, that are like a seperate level but a bit shorter. You need a sensei of each element to complete the 100% tho.
@@hoppizz You probably mean NFC cards. Yeah they are the cheapest way to get all the figures you want, although ofc collecting actual figures is way more fun.
@@xfabian21 Yes, those. I have every figure and i'm happy with my purchase, but i feel like they are really expensive figures, which can only be used in 1/6 games unfortunatly
(BTW this comment is not a hate comment on the video its on imaginators itself) my stance on this whole game is I don't like it, I don't like how expensive the sensei's are and I don't like how useless all skylanders before it are useless. no I'm not talking about how theres no elemental gates I'm talking about how they nerfed everyone by buffing the sensei's because unpopular opinion the sensei's are lame. so my solution buy an nfc writer and then you can play all of the sensei's because you can only use them in imaginators and the game just isn't fun imo
buckshot is ass dont get him,mysticat is so underrated and powerful,mysticat combines lots of the invisible and sneak skylanders into one AND doesnt feel weak or slow in any way,mysticat along with pitboss go under the radar every time and its dumb cos people just either dont give them a chance or they just suck at using them to get their full potential
As a collector, highest difficulty player and 100% achiever this is the only game I don’t have every character as they ain’t that fun and the game is meh, but I managed to find everyone in store so yeah I’m one of those lucky few. I have: Wildstorm he’s kinda boring, I hate transformation characters and specially when it’s the soul gem where no of my upgrades synergies with it Airstrike is also kind boring, he’s fast and the falcon trainer gimmick is cool but it only do so much Golden queen really like her, wish tho gold was attracted to her and gave you health, sadly again transformation soul gem Ember is a must have she’s amazing Flairwolf is mid Kingpen is kinda bad unless you spam snowballs Boom bloom is another must have she’s awesome Crash is pretty good and his life gimmick is fun, but the drop rate of lifes even if you only use tnt is like never Wolfgang is tricky as his weapon is for long range but neither his speed or the game’s mechanics allows for that Robow is ok, his arrows doesn’t work on small or big enemies, using laser is risky and the ball is difficult to control, jump attack is useless and the two transformations are high risk low reward Krankcase is really good, I recommend the hat path instead tho Painyata is decent and it’s really satisfying to create piñata chain explosions but it’s kinda a lot of a moveset Aurora is very bland Starcast I don’t see the appeal of, feels clunky and not very concentrated for a lot of set up for barley any reward, still do get with the rift stars dose As for imaginators I have Air bazooker, tornado and drop mines is a good combo Earth smasher Fire swashbuckler the dash and the slam are great for dealing with multiple enemies and to dodge, can change primary according to situations Water brawler Life ninja Undead knight the skull and the R2 attack gives great buffs Tech sharp shot bounty hunter and single line of fire can kill Kaos in 3 seconds Magic magician Light sentinel Dark bowslinger the shadow dash is great to creat distance from targets
It's funny how 30 USDs is expensive for an Imaginators Skylander, dude, when you compare it to my country, you pay 30 bucks for one of the cores from Spyro's Adventure, and the Imaginators such as Wolfgang go for 200 bucks(which...is pretty cheap when you convert it from BRL to USDs)
it’s really up to you. He doesn’t unlock any sort of secret technique, sensei realm, or expansion pack, and considering he is on the more expensive side, it’s probably not worth it. But because he’s so iconic that a lot of people are still gonna want him
i can say hood sicle is not worth it he is kind of bland and the market prize is much more then 30ish alot of the prizes i see is mre in the 70 dollar area and for what he is starcast is the way better option
It is important to know that both cortex and crash need each other to unlock their soul gems, so if you want their full experience you maybe should buy both
Both are great & fun too
I remember I was lucky and found a pack with both em in a Five Below so I walked out spending $5 on 2 sensei figures
Personally I think pain yatta is worth getting the other two can’t hold a candle to how cool and good he is
Buckshot is actually really good, he’s not as interesting as pain yatta but if you just spam his portal ability it’s broken.
i.. forgot this game exist, i don’t even wanna turn my console on to play it, it’s.. so damn nostalgic it hurts, like actually.
honestly I feel like it's more practical to just get NFC cards of the entire roster. I personally would never pay more than $50 on a single figure from a dead game.

as og player i can agree. Thats why i always forget senseis that arent villains from trap team.
@@lohialli4205the only skylanders from imaginators I ever remember are kingpin because he’s in that one Netflix show and pain-yatta since he is my favourite skylander
I also remember what that imaginator that was voiced by Dantdm looked liked but I don’t remember their name (but he was a creation and not a Sensei)
To sum it up, they are kind of forgettable
So does your brother bitch and cry all the time?
This is so real actually. The only couple that really feel skylanders are the tricerotops fella and ember wolf
It doesn’t really help that every single sensei is humanoid… was it so hard to give a four legged animal a weapon?
Great vid! I'd recommend also doing a what you should actually buy for trap team because it would help out people who don't know what to get since its up there with imaginators in terms of price.

Tae Kwon Crow is best sensei. I've enjoyed him since trap team, and I'm glad he made it into Imaginators.
I will say Hood Sickle is somewhat difficult to use him properly and to his full potential. So for the average skylander player they should get star cast because he is easier to use than hood sickle.
u only need my one true love big mommy golden queen
Bad juju?
Hell nah
That’s what I’m sayin
Me personally who needs any of those light characters when you own a custom evolved blaster tron character
I found those expensive ones on eBay they are really nice replicas and work like the original ones ,I got Ro Bow and Wild Storm for $150
Bro introduces skylander gaming, and bro walks in like hes him😂 hell yea greatest reveal
I wish this video was out before I spent so much money on senseis as a kid.
i love how they gave wolfgang just a normal german name. A friend of my father is also named Wolfgang

I've only bought outside from starterpack are Hood Sickle and Dr Krankcase for 8€ each + 3€ Ambush. Everyone are in great condition too.
If you wanna get the expensive senseis get NFC cards for them or NFC coins, of make your own
Glad I got to see this video early!
6:45 he calls chopscotch chop chop
Could you please do one of these for Trap Team please in the near future.
I think Crash for Life & Cortex for Tech are decently priced for starters
I still have hope for skylanders return

He’s cool but you don’t really need him for any completion related things
£40 for the dark crystal yer right when it came out it was £7.99

Wildstorm he’s kinda boring, I hate transformation characters and specially when it’s the soul gem where no of my upgrades synergies with it
Airstrike is also kind boring, he’s fast and the falcon trainer gimmick is cool but it only do so much
Golden queen really like her, wish tho gold was attracted to her and gave you health, sadly again transformation soul gem
Ember is a must have she’s amazing
Flairwolf is mid
Kingpen is kinda bad unless you spam snowballs
Boom bloom is another must have she’s awesome
Crash is pretty good and his life gimmick is fun, but the drop rate of lifes even if you only use tnt is like never
Wolfgang is tricky as his weapon is for long range but neither his speed or the game’s mechanics allows for that
Robow is ok, his arrows doesn’t work on small or big enemies, using laser is risky and the ball is difficult to control, jump attack is useless and the two transformations are high risk low reward
Krankcase is really good, I recommend the hat path instead tho
Painyata is decent and it’s really satisfying to create piñata chain explosions but it’s kinda a lot of a moveset
Aurora is very bland
Starcast I don’t see the appeal of, feels clunky and not very concentrated for a lot of set up for barley any reward, still do get with the rift stars dose
As for imaginators I have
Air bazooker, tornado and drop mines is a good combo
Earth smasher
Fire swashbuckler the dash and the slam are great for dealing with multiple enemies and to dodge, can change primary according to situations
Water brawler
Life ninja
Undead knight the skull and the R2 attack gives great buffs
Tech sharp shot bounty hunter and single line of fire can kill Kaos in 3 seconds
Magic magician
Light sentinel
Dark bowslinger the shadow dash is great to creat distance from targets
