I was just wondering if anyone has had this occur with Trap Team. I just had Gearshift delivered to my door a few minutes ago, and i thought it was funny since Trap Team isnt out till sunday. Kinda wondering what would have happened if i had pre-ordered more stuff lol I pre-ordered her from Target by the way.

i must say, i like the new packaging but it is huge. Love the 360 view but the packaging took up the whole box it was shipped in <.<

I bought Nitro Krypt King and Gearshift off of Target. They shipped Gearshift two days ago and it's looking like she might show up today.

My Gearshift from Wal-Mart still says estimated between 10/13-10/14. I just called and cancelled my pre-order of Trap Team Dark edition from Target because it wasn't even beyond the "order has been placed" stage from back in July, so I figured I'd just get it in store rather than end up waiting like an extra week.

I haven't gotten any emails today, but I've pre-ordered Nitro Krypt King from Target, the Legendary Jawbreaker and Adventure Pack from TRU, and pretty much every other Wave 1 figure from Amazon. The variants are just going through standard shipping, but I payed for the two day shipping on Amazon so everything is supposed to be here on Monday.

I plan on getting everything i can from TRU since thats the cheapest option. I pre-ordered Gearshift and Nitro Krypt King from target since thats the 2nd cheapest due to my discount and red card perks. I just wasnt expecting a figure before the game lol and GamerDrone i dont think so, i think she is pre-order only but i could be wrong. Otherwise i'd have just put her on my list for my TRU trip

Alot of this stuff is showing up early for some reason. Wheter it be dumb emplpyees or dumb computers. A store in my area never put out the sidekicks or core landers but I was able to get 5 of the 6 trap masters (missing jawbreaker) and 12 traps before I went bsck today and the store must have got in trouble bc they took it all down today but they had this stuff up for days. Its weird 24 hours before launch they take it down. Is that all the traps in wave 1? 12? Not counting target exclusive or dark edition traps

I was just thinking too I wonder if stores and retailers can send/sell this stuff early as long as it isn't the actual game. In sure someone got the game early to but considering they are useless without the game it may be why they werent locked on the registers at some stores.

I counted 13 normal traps. Then there is the target one with their variant villain in a Water Logholder which is also one of the normal traps available. TRU has their exclusive legendary trap but idk if it will b available at launch. So 13 aint bad for normal traps considering you get 2 in a starter pack or 3 if you get the dark starter

What 13 are you counting? I have right now 2 magic 1 fire 1 air 1 life 1 tech 2 earth 2 water 2 undead. Those are my 12. Not counting the ones in starter packs or the target/tru exclusives. I have 13 on me but 1 is the e3 exclusive or whatever. Which one of the 13 you counted am I missing?

Gearshift didn't show up for me today like I thought but according to the tracking she SHOULD be here tomorrow. Target still hasn't shipped Nitro Kyrpt King despite Gearshift though.

Gearshift did show up today. The Trap Team packaging is indeed awfully big. It feels like they're wasting a lot of space and they're going to take up a lot of room both while being displayed and shipped.

I think they made them for collectors to show to be able to display them without opening them. I like the cases and with what these places charge for shipping at least we are getting our money's worth. The only thing I hate is bit being able to walk in a store and get what I want when I want. Swap force was the best so far. I'm hoping they stock even more with trap team. It kept some of the stalkers at bay at least. Now if only I could sleep instead of waiting in line for 3 hours tonight to get into toys r u Id be happy. At least with their layaway tjere are no fees I can put what I want in layaway and get it later when I want it. They are basically just guaranteeing me figures I can pay for and pick up later. They'd no way I woukd drop $600 on this stuff in one night I have bills to pay. I'm just thankful my kids understand how to share so I don't have to buy my son a set, daughter a set, me a set then a set to collect. That is just overkill. Some of these people blow my mind. A lady in gamestop today was asking what time they open Tomorrow and that she would be there first thing to buy everything they get in. I don't know where they put all this stuff.......I guess ebay lol

I've been out of the loop and after looking around for the answer, I am still not sure. Will the pre-order figures and traps be available for retail sale at some point, or were they exclusive for pre-orders only and I will have to try my luck with e-bay at some point?

Gearshift will return at a later wave, she was a preorder to get her this year thing...she will be out in 2015 at some point.

The trap from target some ppl are seeing the barcode/an area for them on the pegs at the store, so you maybe able to walk into target and just buy the thing outright.

As some also have said about gearshift she was on the shelf which makes me think TRu ordered more then they sold preorders for, but how much who knows.
