Hmmm, think I'll bide my time until that comes out but will buy the Oak Eagle Trap since Steamed Broccoli Guy is in the one that comes with the set.

Is this a store exclusive?

I'm glad i didn't buy the fire sphere.

Hope they release the villian variant in a single pack, cuz I got all those other traps, minus the tech tiki trap and fire scepter

Sadly with you...which is why they should've released this info a bit sooner. Early bird gets bit apparently.

this is probably a good deal with the average price of traps being 6 bucks but i'd wait for some type of sale. this seems like something i'd probably pick up on black friday dirt cheap where they'd no doubt have it there to buy.

WHY COULDN'T IT COME OUT NOW...

Thankfully I don't have any of those traps.

Anyone find one of these or know he real date?

So now we have variants where the physical item isn't any different - just the data inside? Wow, not going all in on traps is looking more and more like a good decision.

Going all-in on traps is ridiculous if you are doing this as a parent for a child. ONLY a collector should even consider. But I'm not even sure why a collector would. The traps are ridiculously oversized like the trapmasters, which really negates a lot of the cool factor.

Employees must hate shelving the traps...I imagine Walmart just throwing them in a small bin a la the $5 disc bin and letting people wreak havoc on them.

You almost have to have a list of the molds and elements to check off as you find them. Try explaining those to an employee over the phone. "I'm looking for one that looks kind of like an upside down little man and is purple." They reply "Umm I guess so, we have a bunch just come look". It's hard enough to get many employees to understand the difference in figures ...

Trap collecting alone would set you back another $350 or so. I've spent too much already on Skylanders in general ...

Ya stocking these looks annoying I was watching a girl stock these at tru yesterday trying her best to separate them by their colors., only watching ppl go thru them making a mess.
Currently I have 2 sets of each set, but haven't opened more then one element of each, I havent decided if I want really more then one or two. Like i think the undead hand looks cool but on tech it looks weird to me. I think I might just go for 2 of each element and leave it at that. I got some time to return these. These are like disney infinity and collecting all the disks. Im hoping they just release more 8 packs and get them on sale...say $20 a pack would be fine to get them all.

Do people really call around to stores asking for specific figures? I mean, sure, if you're asking about a launch/event, I could see calling ahead...

Only two traps per Element (probably including the Kaos one *sigh*) so I can have an evolved and regular version of each villain.

UNLESS somebody finds a way to reset traps, or Activision is so kind to add a "restore" button in the villain's screen.

No, I really don't. I don't expect an average employee to know the difference between figures or have information that isn't readily available. However, the employees I've talked to at stores say it happens all the time.

Yes, but since it's the trap itself, to store the evolved status of villains, then 11 will be used to upgrade them, and play as their evolved forms, while the remaining ones will still have the unevolved versions of them.

I don't want a trap for each villain.
I like the strategic part of choosing them, before entering a level.

LOL!so funny,

Makes sense, I have two of each currently except air but I think I will get the 8 pack when it comes out, just don't know when!

Gamestop now has Mirror of Mystery, it was a pre-order set for 12/31/2014 just like Walmart but is now showing available


http://www.gamestop.com/access...vel-pack/117701

I was hoping the 8 pack of traps was the same but I am yet to find it...

Wish I hadn't bought some of those traps but I guess I could always sell my doubles... I'm gonna make an educated guess and say this comes out on Black Friday? Hopefully the quantities aren't super limited.

I was fortunate that I hadn't opened the ones in this 8-pack so I went and exchanged them for others. I would prefer to not have multiples of the same shape/mold, except now I think with the legendary traps I will have the same shape but one regular and the other legendary.

Hate to revisit a dead thread but anyone hear any new news about the 8-pack?

Ha, Well I'm fine with this. I have none of those traps

Looks like they filled there pre order allotment, or it wasn't suppose to be up yet for pre order.
Either way hopefully its readily available at launch.

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Skyl...versal/38436895

Even tried searching for it on the website and nothing comes up.
Status is still in process for my pre order, so at least not cancelled all together

According to the Target Sales ad for 11/9, the 8 pack is exclusive to them. Might be why it is no longer available on Wal-Mart's page.

I saw the ad on Blu-ray.com

Link please?

You might need an account to view the ad scans.

If this comes out on the 9th... and has a tech tiki which isn't released yet... tech Tiki might be in wave 3... and that could mean that wave 3 could (possibly) come out at TRU before then, and target either on the 9th or before. Not saying that wave 3 WILL be out then or before, but it semes like a good guess.

Do you think the trap 8 pack will be rare by Christmas...?

If they really got a lot of pre-order then most likely your order will be canceled later if you've chosen free shipping.
Happened to me with Kaos trap pre-order. Mine 8 traps pre-order is still in process but I feel that it will be canceled later too.
I had similar experience with target.com, walmart.com, toyrus.com or bestbuy.com - they can cancel your order or pre-order at any moment for whatever BS reason. You can call to customer service and get some excuse from them (if you call multiple time the excuses will be different).
So I'm trying to avoid shopping online there. BTW - this never happened with me at amazon.com. Go figure.

So it was on Walmarts site, now it's a Target Exclusive?? Interesting. We did not get a canceled order email yet.

Hmmm, interesting, I wonder if the deal at target that week will include characters also?

Target has it on their site (out of stock online right now):
http://www.target.com/p/skylan...ck/-/A-16680671

Store Item Number (DPCI): 207-00-3007
Online Item #: 16680671

There is no "Only at Target" label anywhere on the package, so I think it might be timed exclusive for Target this November(?)

What week is that advertisement for?

It is for the 11/9 week ad...

The ad on the forum seems to indicate buy 2 get 1 free on all Skylanders and Disney Infinity figures that week as well at Target.

Glad I didn't buy any traps to know now I have this option.

Well it looks like I'll be stopping by target on the 9th to check it out.
Hopefully its not like the ad for the wave 2 traps, that they didn't get in.

To note, the 8 pack includes a couple harder-to-find traps, including the Life Toucan, Fire Torch, Air Screamer and Undead Hand. I'll be exchanging the life toucan I found yesterday :-)

The targets in my area have really stepped in up this game! Good thing I'm 15 minutes from 5 of them...

Hi guys is ulitimate kaos trap better than normal or it is only colectors item?

Collectors item...
Back on topic, I can't wait to have my broccoli steamed!!

Anyone think Skylanders figures will be part of the buy 2 get one deal at traget next week?
