The giveaway part of the announcement has me intrigued, as I wonder if there will be an exclusive Infinity figure given away. I am sort of disappointed they haven’t announced something like that, as Comic-Con is the perfect place to do one of these promotions.

“The giveaway part of the announcement has me intrigued, as I wonder if there will be an exclusive Infinity figure given away”
I’m kinda intrigued by that myself. Even if it is just a variant pose or color (not unlike some Skylanders variants that otherwise have no real difference in-game compared to the “regular” version), it would still be pretty awesome.
I’m looking forward to hearing from people who try out the new game and finding out what the new features are like.
