How does a trap work? (Didn't read through the posts.)

Takes 2 minutes to actually search for the answer between here, Google, or Youtube.

I don't want to do the research. I'd rather get your words on it.

He did.

I'd rather you guys tell me, though.

Then wait for someone to answer...threads galore for the initiated...

On a german site are pictures of the pre order box from Toys 'r us, that confirms a trap holder in the Starter Pack.

A few questions. One: What is the link? Two: Can it hold all the traps with it?

Here is the Link: http://myskylanders.de/2014/06/27/

Up to 40 traps or so: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRZCe045Zrs

Wow. That's pretty cool! I see it can hold all the traps. And I've counted the holes of that trap. It looks like there is a total of 46 traps if I'm correct. But I think it would be a bit more nice if we had a custom box for our traps.

I assume the traps run on hopes, dreams and unicorn farts.

Okay, but, really...I just want to know about the game without doing the research. Me getting into this game too deeply would weird me out.

Maybe we already have in previous posts on the topic in multiple other threads. Why should we have to repeat ourselves, because you are too lazy to sort through a few older threads?

"Me getting into this game too deeply would weird me out." - my previous post.

I'm scared of getting into the game. I want to get into it, but I'm scared.

The only scary thing about the Skylanders franchise is the drain it will put on your wallet, if you let youself get sucked into the "collect them all" mind set. Beyond that, no one should pick up a game based on the ramblings of just forum posters on a website. DO RESEARCH. Educate youself. Don't let alone else spend your money except you.

I'm glad I eventually got out of that habit with UB Funkeys (which is defunct, anyway).

I came up with an updated trap box idea. I tried looking for a good box but I can' seem to find one. Then I had the idea of designing an all-cardboard box since I build interactive things out of cardboard. I jotted down several notes about what I'm going to do to make this box. I want to hold enough traps for all villains and even hold the ultimate Kaos trap (I plan to get the dark pack). I would also like to slap my own Trap Team graphics all over the box. Here are my notes. I want to see if I can make a speed-build video of this box.

20x18x5 inch all-cardboard trap box. Holds 50 traps (Assuming there are 48 traps in 8 elements)

STEP 1 - MAKE BASE
1 20x18 sheet
2 20x5 sheets
2 18x5 sheets
Tape sheets together forming a box without a top side

STEP 2 - MAKE LID
1 20x18 sheet
1 20x2 sheet
2 18x2 sheets
Tape sheets together forming a box without two sides. Tape the free side of the 20x17 with the back side of the base to apply a hinge lid

STEP 3 - MAKE CARDBOARD BRICK WITH TRAP HOLES
10 20x18 sheets
Tape all sheets along sides to form a brick of cardboard. Then cut 48 holes in an 8x5 grid. Leave space for both kaos traps in the center of columns. Fit in box and tape to hold it in.

STEP 4 - APPLY PAPER DESIGNS
Cover whole box, except bottom side, with printed paper. Have picture of logo and all trap masters on top side. Have pictures of all villains on the rest of the box's sides. Inside the box with the holes, make eight strips of elemental colors for trap sorting. Put a picture of the villain next to the hole of which the trap containing that villain goes. Insert a black area in the center of the interior for kaos traps.
