They've been doing the $5 Gift Card with DI figures. I hadn't heard about them doing it with Skylanders. I thought about picking up some with the TRU sale, this week, but our TRU has had slim pickings. Mostly just Head Rush and Jawbreaker. The Walmart next to work has Wildfire, Gearshift, Winterfest Lob Star, and a few others. I thought about just price matching there. Not sure if I could do that and get the $5 gift card. That would be a really sweet deal. I know with the DI figures, some people were price matching Walmart's website at the $9 price and getting the $5 GC still.

I'm hoping Toys R Us has some kind of sale for this Sunday's release of the Light and Dark Element expansion packs. Their markups have always sucked.

I went to Walmart figuring I could PM TRU. I had thought about doing it, anyway, as they were the know store in my area to get Winterfest Lob Star and the only ones to have some other figures I was looking for. I didn't see a sign about a gift card, but I thought I'd try, anyway. After fighting through several people and two registers (even getting management involved), I finally got them to even price match (something about the "2 for" part and saying it had to be an exact price). I even looked up the price match policy and questioned them. By the end, it was more the principle of it than anything. With all that, there didnt seem to be any indication of a gift card promo. I'm still not sure I want to keep them, now. With TRU possibly leaking out wave 3 while the sale is still on and the release of light/dark, I'm kind of more interested in those. Granted, my son would like the ones I got, and those two will be a lot cheaper than getting just on light/dark expansion pack, but I also know he'd be really surprised to get one (although he already watch the Skylander Boy & Girl videos of them being out).

Was at the toys r us this morning, their peg signs stated the sale for 2 for 22 for skylanders singles and 2 packs. It did not state a price restriction so I asked a sales associate if it applied to the swap force two pack, he said it should, and checked it then said he would adjust it. So i grabbed a second one and then a few other singles that I wanted and still spent more than I wanted to. Pretty sure this would be YMMV because they had low stock on any two packs to start.

Also while I was there, all skylanders spyro singles are $3, down from the $4.99 regular price. All Spyro's Adventure adventure packs were $7. Think these prices were saturday only

There is a price restriction for the 2 for $22. It says $4.99-$16.99 (though why you'd pay $22 for two $4.99 figures is beyond me ).

Like I said, the advertisement on the pegs do not list that which is why the person price adjusted it.

walmart ad dated 21st-27th had $5 GIFT CARD advertised for DI and TT.

So finally confirmation about the $5 gift card. The sign must have gotten put out early in some stores, as I don't know anyone who was able to confirm it. I just saw the post here and one on slickdeals (with no replies). I picked up a couple PM'ing TRU, the other day. I'm tempted to take them back and go for this deal. It might not be worth the hassle. Counting the $5 GC, I'd only be saving a $1 a piece and have to deal with the GC. However, I wonder if they'll get any new ones in stock. I finally found a Wildfire at another Walmart. For a while, I've thought they haven't gotten much stock, but I found them in another location in the electronics department. I thought my son had him at the top of his list, but I'm beginning to think he was just talking about the dark edition. He said his favorite fire Trap Master was Kaboom. So I'd be excited if I find him. I'd definitely take the others back to get him. Of course, he'll eventually want them all, and even the $11 is a good deal, but there's only so much I can afford, right now. I'm not sure if I want to give up Winterfest Lob Star, though. I think he wants him, and other than one of the Walmarts and a few at Best Buy, I haven't seen him around. I know others are saying he's everywhere, but not so much around here.

This might not count as a sale but it's possible to get a $5 off coupon for any single item purchase from gamestop using kongregate and downloading one of their apps on the android/ios.

Essentially it's a great way to get the core skylanders if you wanted at 50% off. It's possible to get multiple coupons also.

Thanks for the coupon! Hopefully I can find EE Stealth Elf in store and use it!

Going to do this PMing this upcoming Thursday to combine the BOGO40% with the TRU card 10%.

GameStop has buy 2 get 1 free on preowned anything.

TRU has 3 for 35 for Skylanders anything 14.99 to 16.99 for 1/4/2014 to 1/10/2014

works with mini 2 packs if anyone needs one. And this is a cheap way to get wave 3 since they seem to have restocked everything except traps.

GroupOn of all places. 4 days left...

Meant to post this a few days ago. I'm sure most of us collectors have them already. For those who haven't or wanted some to customized these seem like good prices. I don't believe they come in original packaging. If I only had spare time to customize.

4 Pack Options (price varies listed below)
Skylanders Giants Character Packs. Choose from the following:

$17.99 for Four: Terrafin, Chop Chop, Pop Fizz, and Shroomboom

$24.99 for Six: Thumpback, Bouncer, Crusher, Swarm, Eye Brawl, and Hot Head

$29.99 for Eight: Bouncer, Swarm, Zook, Stump Smash, Slam Bam, Giant Chill, Sprocket, and Dragonfire Cannon

$17.99 for Four Lightcores: Drobot, Prism Break, Jet-Vac, Eruptor

I don't know how long these have been on sale, but I picked up a SWAP Force Dark Edition at GameStop for $30 and the GS Exclusive version of Battlegrounds for $34. Grabbed the Wii Dark Edition because I didn't have it and the Battlegrounds because, why not. Used Royal Double Trouble goes for that much alone and I always need more Skylanders. ;)

You can get them on EBay for not much more than $5. There's not much of a market for this when you can get the full 3DS version with Punch Pop Fizz for a few bucks more once you factor in shipping. Good find though for those looking for one and willing to pay a few bucks for shipping.

Yeah, it's not spectacular, but if you have it in-stock at a BB near you and want it for whatever reason, it's worth it. Plus, 60 Club Nintendo coins. ;)

Makes me wish I had a 3DS, though I'd have to find the portal. I guess if the full version isn't going for that much on eBay, it might be more worth it. Or I know I have seen a used 3DS portal at Half Price Books.

There is some kind of 2 for 1 sale going on at Amazon. I got it to work, as shown in the image below, but I couldn't get it to go through on a second transaction. Maybe it's limited to one per customer. I have NO IDEA what the rules are for this promo. A vendor told me about it, and I simply tested it. I could not find Amazon advertising this. So the only official information I have is that I got the "Skylanders Promo" discount on my receipt.

That is odd that Gill Grunt comes up .03c more than the other 2?

Yeah, lol, I didn't even consider that when adding him to my cart. Online vendors sometimes battle over cents to try and get the top listing on price comparison engines. It's silly. I used to work in a company where we did that. You'd suddenly go 1 cent lower than the competition and it was supposed to attract more customers.

I bought 3 trap masters I needed. It came out to be $10.00 each. That is the best price I have bought them for.

Gamestop's having a sale this week: Buy 2 cores get 1 free, $5 off on elites, and (here's the funny part) if you buy one trap, you get a water trap for $0.99.

I saw the elites in Gamestop today for $19.99. I almost bought one but I still couldn't bring myself to do it. Ugh, why, why did they have to make "elite" Skylanders? lol

To test the elite collector market.

Sure Shot Shroomboom is currently 3.99 on Amazon.

Saw this on slickdeals (though they mentioned it was for characters instead of traps). I came on here to post but forget about the sales thread. Decided to check, here, first.

It says it's only for a certain DCPI. I assume all the basic traps are under that same DCPI. Outlaw Brawl & Chain and the Easter trap probably won't be included (unless you get a cashier willing to push it through). It does say there is a limit of 4, so that's good for those looking for multiple traps. Has anyone seen any new ones at Target? Ours were still mainly water traps.


I kind of wonder if they'll put another cartwheel out for the Easter assortment after Easter like they did for Love Potion Pop Fizz. I was going to wait until then, but I did want to get one of them for my son's Easter basket. I got away with it for LPPF since my son was visiting grandparents on Valentine's Day, so I picked it up the day after with the Cartwheel.

Yeah, its just for the regular DCPI traps, so Easter won't work..although is Brawl and Chain one on a different code? I never noticed before lol

The Trap Team starter pack for tablets is $20 at Amazon again.

The TRAPTEAM10 code doesn't work anymore though.

If you're needing any older SSA and SG characters, some TRUs may have some good sales going on. The one at my location had 3 pack Giants for $12 and SSA 3 pack/adventure for $9.

Noticed that all basic traps are $4.49 today, and the Easter bunny Earth Trap, Eggsellent Weeruptor, and Power Punch Pet-Vac are only $5.99, which is the lowest I've seen them for yet. Store pickup is supported, free shipping +5% with RedCard, 5% more with pharmacy reward discount if applicable.

Just search for trap team on the site and it will return them among the 49 results.

TRU appears to have Trap Team starter packs for $34.99. With the $10 coupon, that's only $24.99 plus tax. Not bad and it's not even April.

I saw someone comment on the Skylanders Game page that they got the Easter Skylanders at Target for $3.99. Anyone have an idea how that's possible? Even with the 5% off and $1 General Mills coupon, I don't see how to get it to that price.

Toys r Us has .99 cent traps if you buy 15$ worth of trap team stuff! I saw plenty of the new dark traps if anyone is looking.

If you're looking for any of the non-variant Giants here is a pretty good bundle.

"Pretty good"? That's insane.

TRU has a decent deal right now on the SWAP Force Wii U bundle at $199. I *almost* bit, but no Club Nintendo points, tiny 8GB hard drive, and I already have the exclusive figure that's in it... Lasts 'till 5/30... who knows. I might still bite.

that is a good deal, im tempted, i dont have any of them. just 2. issues. 1. its wallmart eeewwwww. 2. it seems to good. i hope the cards and stuff are included and not used figures or something.
