Way to go Matt....congratz.
Well as useral, my TRU had almost nothing...again. They did had the next wave of mini's tho... i got them..(fire an water)..they still haven't gotten the last 2 Legendary traps yet...i just don't get it. They should have gotten them back in November...blasted flattered ....oh well.
And of course no Kaos traps...i asked an employee about them, he and the guy next to him said they never have seen any... ...so i went back up front and asked the manager....he said they got just one of the 12 pack box's....i thought..."just one box...REALLY?" Of course by the time i got to the store after work they where all gone....oh well. They still didn't have any wave 3 traps...but did get the last of the wave 1 & 2 that i was missing.

<---- WOO HOO!!!!!...broke the 1000 Gems level...LOL

I got a Christmas Lob Star. It was one of the few I'm still interested in getting for this game, besides a magic trap master and possibly the EE Gill Grunt.

Picked up EE Whirlwind on Saturday. I can't decide if I want to get the next 4 EE figures... I already shelled out $100 for the first 4 and all they'll be doing is hanging out in their boxes.

Went shopping this morning and picked up some cool stuff.

At Walmart I found a Lightcore Wham-Shell, box was not in good condition though.



Also found Camo on the shelf there and grabbed him, the box was also in bad shape and the barcode was missing so the cashier had to ring up my Wham-Shell twice.



Then at Target I got the Funny Bone/Sure Shot Shroomboom/Chopper triple pack.



Also found Horn Blast Whirlwhind



Also grabbed up a Crystal Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey for Disney Infinity. Surprised to see how that figure is barely on shelves since it just came out Friday.

^ did you get your free $5 gift card?

oops (united parcel service) dropped these at me door today and ran away:

i got these.... rare as hen's teeth as they say...

Checked two Targets and still no sign of Nitro Krypt King but I did manage to find six new traps at Big W today (but no sign of them at other stores yet).

The six new ones are in the left-hand side holder (the holders are in the picture as they just arrived):

^ sweet, those traps look awesome!

I concur. They're awesome alright. Might have to switch some of my traps around.

so i decided to put aside £20-£30 pound's a week. for new skylanders from my loco shop (supermarket "it sell's food in the main")
the rules are, no more then two unit's of skylanders so one mini and one normal or 2 mini
this is to try and keep spending down, o and so i can get new skylanders each week.

so this week i pick up
-- Winterfest Lob-Star --
and (i am shocked that i found this in a shop in the uk still.)
-- Kickoff Countdown. --
so here them are a nice image for you



so what will i get next week?
hmm who knows.

i usually collect paperweights and man cave display pieces but sadly this rare one was opened. it was a 1 dollar find at gamestop... but its worth at least 150 dollars.

I'm sorry but you seem to have no idea what variants are worth - there is MIB Granite Crushers available for $30-40 and one out of the box is in the realm of $10-15.

^ agreed, as us old folks do our homework..

Finally, just got BNIB Macys Parade Eruptor today! Yay, sent an ebay offer for $50 free S&H , and it was accepted! Couldn't believe it, so now 1 more variant to go, except for gold Spyro.. Too rare for my blood!

Eh, Legendary Spyro isn't a chase figure, nor is he that rare.

I think that he's referring to the E3 Exclusive Chrome Spyro.

^ I'm talking about the gold plated one on Paul Reiche III's desk! Probably one of a kind! Looking for the pic now... And no, I have never seen it on the resale market

i just got the trap 8 pack

After much hunting I was able to find a Nitro Krypt King and the Undead wave 3 trap; just missing the Magic wave 3 trap...

Got Winterfest Lob-Star yesterday....he looks kinda cool.

just got metallic shroomboom but plan on exchanging him for bat spin when she comes out

The 8 Trap Pack at Target.
And when I went go look at Toys R Us, they ALSO had the 8 Trap Pack selling for $44.99 while the Target pack was $39.99.

After going in to the CBD and checking a few stores, I finally found the Magic totem trap; the last one in this wave that I did not have.

TRS price are so high. The target by U.S. stocks so few Skylanders, it's not worth stopping by.

I got a pre-owned Magna Charge at GameStop today.

I had a lucky find today. I went into GAME and they had a large box of used Spyro's Adventure figures priced at £2.99 each. When I went through the box I found a Ghost Roaster and a green base Gil Runt. Bargain.

well a couple of people on this site got light and dark packs they are officially out on sunday along with wave 3 trap masters so i will be going to toys r us

I just got my Winterfest Lob Star the other day. I think I'm going to have to get the regular Lob Star as well.

My "piece de resistance" arrived today:

The pumpkin Eye Brawl I ordered from Amazon came in today. Only thing is, the box is in pathetic condition so I'm pondering whether I just unbox (it's already half unboxed anyways) it and keep it or send it back.

Where did you get those sweet holders? Would love to get one since they fit 8 traps + Kaos Trap perfectly.

Any sights on Wave 3 or Light and Dark?

EBay, my friend, EBay...

There is a dude who makes them. He will also ship internationally, if that is required.

The perspex is quite thick and well formed and I know it is a royal PITA to drill hexagonal holes and not leave burs, etc.

Thanks chaosworrier...needed a good laugh...drilling hexagonal holes...to funny.

Umm... I wasn't joking:

It is complete now...

^ what a wasted $50 on my end.. Wish is was a special mold!

Quote: chaosworrier

It can't be complete with a box in that kind of shape. Unless you're going for a complete opened set.

What do you mean? The box is sealed?

EDIT: Never mind, from another thread I derived that you are merely a troll.

I got Dino-Rang and Stink Bomb. I really don't know why Stinky gets so much hate, I've enjoyed him so far. (Just like Zoo Lou...) Also my stores around my house have a lot of Ninjini (never saw her in stores until Trap Team came out!) Jade Fire Kraken, Kick-off Countdown and Festive Lob Star. I also saw Eon's Elite Trigger Happy and Whirlwind at GameStop. (Also tempted to buy a special edition greeny colored stone like S2 Gill Grunt chase variant at Toy's R Us. Does anyone know what that one is called?)

so i droped in to Guildford to do a little shopping and pick up the following.
NOTE found Trap Shadow at Argos 1st for £14.99 i had been finding him hard to find on the web.
so pick him up, only to find 5 more of them in GAME down the road for £7.49 GGGGGGGRRRRRRRR Dam it.

and on that note WTF are GAME playing at £14.99 FOR A CORE! £19.99 For a Mini set. £19.99 For a TRAP MASTER!
i did not even look at the Price on the 3 CORE SET for trap teem on display
for a side note my loco shop that i normal pick up skylanders from have Core at £8.99, Mini at £12.99 and trap Masters at £14.99
did find GOLD FlamesLinger for £8.99 in Game and please note that there was like about 10 to 12 more of them in stock.

so Game of North Street in Guildford have Giants "GOLD FlamesLinger" for £8.99 and i would say more then 10 left unknown what is out the back of the shop.

any how here is today pic.

Nope, look at the top of the box it's wrecked, big fold through almost the entire thing. That is no good as a CIB figure with hat kind of damage.

Local TRU must have just opened a Swap force case! I was happy to find both of these on the shelf!

Realy?!? those little folds on the top is what your (w)itch'in about...give me a break. Shut the hole under your nose....he's not collecting them to make a huge profit later on down the line...he's wanting the complete collection...because he wants it.
I think it looks fine...and even if he dose want them for that, look at all the cardboard stock on Collectible memorabilia from the past...it dosen't hold up that well.. I. E. biodegradable material....duh.

Also hexagonal drilling bits are used on metal...not plastic. It gets to hot, it would warp the plastic if not burn or set it on fire. lol
Im sure he used a waterjet to make those holders...and they do look cool by the way.

I still haven't seen Fire Bone Hot Dog in stores. I was lucky to get Scratch when I first started collecting.

I think it looks fine...and even if he dose want them for that, look at all the cardboard stock on Collectible memorabilia from the past...it dosen't hold up that well.. I. E. biodegradable material....duh.

Even with Skylanders MIB, see how long the glue lasts on basically everything after SSA - the plastic bubbles can come off the cardboard backing so easily.

just glue them back together then and they will be as fine as they was new.
