Skylanders Trap Team was released to the world at midnight launches all across the country. I was at work so I watched the excitement via Twitter as each time Zone .Kaos took over the Toys R Us Twitter feed and I interacted with that and with the Skylanders Twitter as well. Check this out.

So, after all the fun all night watching people get their Skylanders I was finally done for the day and headed right to Toys ‘R Us for their 8am – 10am sale. While I was there I met up with a guy that I met the year before. We chatted in line and then went in to see what was on the shelves. Well, the shelves were still being stocked but Toys R Us was the most put together of all the store I visited today. I chatted with the people who were stocking the shelves because they weren’t Toys R Us employees and had no idea what Trap Team was all about. There wren’t many of us at the launch this morning so I was able to get every character that came out. I accidentally bought the same Trap twice and did buy two character that I may return because I’m getting them in other sets. One I actually got later at Walmart on the way to work. It was the Gill Grunt and Gill Runt Buddy 2-Pack
There were a ton of traps and it was so easy to miss one or buy more than one of the same. There are a total of 46 traps (before there are any variants). I already have a couple of variant traps so I’m not sure where to put those. The Trap Case is a good deal because each trap will house a different trapped villain so in an effort to keep them organized you need something like the case.
Toys R Us also has the Legendary sets. This time around they had the very first Legendary Adventure Pack. The character inside, Blades is in a single pack and in a 3 pack of characters. Character Gill Grunt is also in the same 3 pack and in a single pack and in the buddy 2-pack. You’ve got to do some juggling to buy everything and not get a double and also get the best prices.
Toys R Us had a great sale of buy 1 get 1 for 50% Off. For the traps they had them as buy 1 get one for $1. I bought everything I could and then went up to the counter. They rang me up and it was a decent price. I had also gotten a couple other items that were not Skylanders but were on sale for Eva for her birthday.
I’ll probably go back again tomorrow because I heard that Wave 2 was going to be released tomorrow as well. It’ll either be released tomorrow or Tuesday.
Oh, and I haven’t even played yet because I don’t have the game. That’s what happens when a game is released on a Sunday and you pre-order online.
