Portal Masters can kick-off their Skylanders-filled holiday on Thanksgiving Day when Eruptor, a fan-favorite Skylander, takes his place amongst the skyscrapers of New York City in the 90th Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Portal Masters can also catch Eruptor, along with Spyro and Stealth Elf, in “Skylanders™ Academy” available now on Netflix.

So what of this "special offer" you ask? Well, starting on Black Friday (In the U.S. of course), parents will be able to get their hands on Skylanders Imaginators Starter Packs for the suggested price of $39.99 each and Skylanders Sensei toys for the suggested price of $9.99 each, for a limited time at major retailers nationwide.

Existing Skylanders fans will also have something to cheer about this holiday with the return of the Skylanders Portal Owners Pack. The Portal Owners Pack at the suggested retail price of $25 (USD) is a great value and the perfect gift idea for players who already have portals from previous Skylanders games -- Skylanders SuperChargers, Skylanders Trap Team, Skylanders SWAP Force or Skylanders Giants. The Portal Owners Pack provides fans with infinite possibilities to create with the Skylanders Imaginators Portal Owners Pack: 

• Skylanders Imaginators Video Game
• 1 Imaginite Creation Crystal – Fire Creation Crystal
• 1 Sticker Sheet
• Collection Poster featuring the complete set of Skylanders Imaginators Figures

So, it seems like it might just be the time for those who haven’t made the jump into the world of Skylanders Imaginators to do so this holiday season.
