Wham-Shell and Sidekicks

So I'm getting a Wham-Shell from an acquaintance on darkspyro.net and I'm mailing in my Sidekicks tomorrow (I know I said I was doing that a while ago, but I forgot, silly me). So pretty soon I'll have my collection complete...

Also, I entered two contests regarding my winning a flocked stump smash or pearl hex. I won't tell where for fear of promoting them, more people entering, and decreasing my chance of winning. I'll tell you the first week of August whether or not I won them. Wish me luck!

What is Skylanders: Spyro's Universe?

Spyro's Universe is the online game that goes along with Spyro's Adventure. It can be played online after registration at skylanders.com/play.

Once you're all good to go and you start playing, your first Skylander given to you is Spyro. Eon will talk to you randomly about a bunch of stuff to help get you started, just listen to him.

He will eventually tell you about renting Skylanders. He will give you your choice of one to rent for free the first time. I believe you also get another for free somehow. 

If you have any Skylanders figures, you should know they come with little cards with web codes on them. To use them, go into your lair and click BROWSE on the portal of power. Pick out the skylander or magic item you have, then click UNLOCK. Simply put in the code (Exactly how it appears on the card) in order to register your skylander to the online game. If you have the same figure as on already online (Like Spyro) you can still register it using the same method.

LEVELING UP
In order to level up your skylander in Spyro's Universe you simply have to run around breaking crates and eating flora that is the same element as the skylander you are using.

FLORA
There are four types of each flora for each element. Each skylander has a favorite, found in their bio.

LORE TABLETS
Informational tablets found in crates.

CASTLE ASSAULT
Just like Angry Birds. You fire balls at the tower while trying to kill the bad guys, save the good guys, and collect as many points as possible.

AIR DEFENSE
Shoot the ships and the cannonballs fired at you. You have a shield to block with but it disappears when you fire.

GROUND DEFENSE
Repeatedly click enemies before they steal all your gems. Stay out of the red squares or you will be stunned. Repeatedly click the button to unstun yourself.

That's all for now :)
