Hi. What is the cheapest way (so far) to be able to collect and open everything in the game? There was a list for Swap Force last year. do you need a Giant again this year? And do you need every kind of trap, and every kind of Trapmaster?

Last year list for example:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards...-force/68200919

You need 10 Trap Masters, one for each element, including the new Light and Dark ones, and 10 Traps, again, for each element.

10? wow that will be expensive.

Well, there isn't really any need for a list, since there's no secondary system messing things up like Swap-Force's movement types. Just 1 trap master of every element and one trap of every element (including Kaos). Plus Adventure Packs if you want to access those (I have a feeling both of the soul gems for Light Skylanders are in Sunscraper Spire, and the Dark in Midnight Museum, to avoid spoiling those characters early).

Ironically, no one knows the cheapest way to get traps, because they are adding "new" configurations all the time. For example, the new WalMart exclusive 8 pack would be a great way to save $8 (and you get a variant villain), but TRU's BOGO $1 makes it better. Problem is, we don't know the trap configurations, what's IN those configurations, where those configurations will be sold and the store's sales.

In short, we're left guessing.

Generally speaking, longer the wait the better the knowledge, but also the risk--since they ship in waves, you may loose out on certain traps. A conundrum we face.

I can argue the "cheapest" solution might be to wait for someone who likes to buy everything and "attempt" to snag a cheap buy it now on eBay, but that's like the lottery.

smart move by activison we get "buy 3 pay 2" (or "2-1)"deals all the time in germany at amazon or TRU or Müller. I bought nearly everything skylander related that way. last year those discounts started around christmas. I have to be patient

You will also need a mini as one is required to get a hat.
