What is your best skylander related moment mine is a tie between when I got series 1 double trouble early and when my local target put out there entire trap team stock on October 1st whether they let me. It it or not

^is this thread for trap team, or skylanders in general?
I loved getting trap team early as well.. But the best feeling was finding JFK at my local Walmart, before it was even on ebay..

3 of them. Christmas morning when the kids open the Skylanders game. Looking forward to 20 days from now.

If it's not Trap Team related, then the first time I placed Spyro on the Portal, in SA.
So far NOTHING has been more magical than that moment.
It has been a long time, since I saw him in his "old" glory.

If it's Trap Team related, then the moment I placed the Life Hammer in the trap slot to capture Sheep Creep.
It got near the Spyro one. Pure magic.

It has to be when I unboxed my FIRST skylander, Hex
And also when I put my first skylander on the good old SSA portal, that was Hex too

Every game

I have a few good moments...
When a Gamestop employee showed me his Silver Boomer.
When my dad and I found Wham Shell at Target after a 3 month hunt.
When I beat Nightmare Difficulty 100% on Skylanders Giants on the night before Swap Force came out. (Chapter 10, 11, and 15 were the hardest for me).
And all of those Skylander Stop Motion films I made with my 3DS camera.

Acquiring the Dev Team Fire Kraken for a relatively low price, finding Purple Lightning Rod and Wrecking Ball at the same time in store, acquiring Crystal Stealth Elf unopened for less than $100.

Probably my favorite moment was getting and opening Swap Force, my favorite Skylanders game, and then swapping those two characters for the first time... my mind was blown. I have a feeling Trap Team may be a repeat, if I get it this year.

when i put spyro on the ssa portal for the first time... the retro feeling hit hard.

Finally finding the last Ninjini at Gamestop after a month of searching. I had nearly given up by then until I walked in one day to buy the new Animal Crossing. Right when I go to the counter, I glance to the right and lo and behold, the lone Ninjini I'd wanted for months. I have a feeling that finally getting my hands on Light and Dark will top that moment

NO DOUBT! I still can't understand why they are doing this light/dark now, they could of easily saved this for the next game!!?!!

I'd say the whole experience is my best moment, but to list off some of my best moments

1. Getting and as my first Skylanders.
2. Getting the day he came out with the game.
3. Getting , and .
4. Finding after the holidays.
5. Finding a purple .
6. Getting in the mail.
7. Obtaining the last of my Swap Force characters.
8. Realizing that the second Undead Trap Master is better than .
9. Now owning bug Skylanders, a guy with a scythe and that uses shears.
10. Soon to be the day I get and hopefully will be the best Trap Master.

Favorite in-game moment: When I saved up enough coins to buy Slam Bam's Soul Gem upgrade. Something about his little sled and jingle bells makes me smile every time.
Favorite new toy moment: When my boss showed up at my desk with a big box of Trap Team figures and a complimentary copy of Trap Team sent from Activision.
Favorite other moment: When I got to see the advance copies of The Complete Collection (Character Encyclopedia in the UK) with the shiny silver foil on the cover.

Finding a ghost roaster at gamestop this year

JFK? Like the president?

A fun moment for me was...

Placing Spyro on the Portal for the first time
Getting Skylanders Giants at Christmas, when I didn't expect to
Completing Tower Of Time on Nightmare mode with my nephew
Picking up the LAST Eye-Brawl in Gamestop, since he was the only Giant I had interest in..

Illominartey confirmed doo doo doo doo

Btw another one from swap force era, when they announced wind-up (I claimed him immediately)

Finding a Flocked Springtime Trigger Happy at Toys R Us. I went though what seemed like a couple hundred pegs of figures and he was on the very bottom corner furthest to the back. Literally the very last place possible for me to look. I got there a couple hours late and I'm lucky some mum didn't get him for their child to destroy as there wasn't anyway to tell him apart from a normal one by a quick glance and all those Easter ones were selling quickly that day.

My best Trap Team moment will be when I'll see dozens of Kaos traps at every store I go to and snickering at the thought of when the scalpers were selling them for over $30 a pop and now they cannot give them away.

Completing my collections for each game

^ honestly, this is a bittersweet moment for me:/

Getting whatever I could get for each game, but the crowning achievement would be my recent purchase for a NIB Snowderdash for $130, along with winning one of the chase Fire Bone Hot Dogs (purple) from the previous Frito-Lay contest, then see it on EBay for $650.

^ and now they are pushing to get $50 for FBHD, lol!

when i got SSA in 2011

Either when I first got SSA or when I got Wham-Shell.
