I feel like Trap teams dark and light elements we’re butchered completely just because they were released in later waves and drowned in other less popular skylanders tho personally I like blastermind
To this day I’m still upset that I once saw spotlight at a Best Buy with my brother, we wanted it so bad but we were with our neighbor who was babysitting us so we didn’t want to ask for it. Even worse I had $20 my grandma gave me, but I left it at home cuz I thought we’d spend the day at the neighbors house. And then years later it became really rare. Youch!
When i was younger when these guys were still coming out, my family knew someone who worked in one of the stores that sold skylanders, and they would give us a call when new stuff came out, they sometimes were even able to set aside some of the new stuff for us so we'd get a chance to get the new ones before they were all gone, this was so helpful to build our collection We ended up getting the light and dark adventure packs like a week before they started stocking officially on the shelves It's probably good they did waves, the bank accountssl of people who want to get them all would not survive 😅
Can confirm, Gearshift was in fact Wave 1, but at least to my recollection, in a very odd way. See, I vividly remember getting an email in the lead-up to Trap Team that GameStop was doing some kind of promotion (it might’ve been pre-order, idk) where if you participated, you would get a Gearshift figure.
This was a really interesting video, I think a follow up where you do include reposes, variants, and other specific packs would be really good but as it stands this is still pretty great.
I remember Wild Storm's release being pretty interesting. IIRC he was supposed to release mid-march, but they posted a statement saying a warehouse/port they needed for distribution had flooded, so the release was delayed about a month in most areas.
I remember waiting for the ability breakdown video for double dare trigger happy from a yter i watched back then, only for him to never make one, because he was so rare in Germany. I remember searching for days about an abilities video for him, snd not being able to find one
I’m pretty sure Wave 2 of Trap Team came out same day as Wave 1. That or my local Toys R Us just went screw it and put em on the shelf with everything else lol.
Plus if I remember correctly Superchargers Wave 2 was meant to do the same thing but ended up being delayed due to the whole Nightfall Incident (none of the Nightfall figures worked at launch and they had to recall the whole wave to fix it) I remember this mainly bc High Volt was my favorite Supercharger by far and I really wanted him day 1.
24:32 I can’t tell you for an objective fact that is a lie. I got Kaos a day or so after the game came out, just him and a light creation crystal. My brother already had the game so that’s how I played it at first. I still have the box and everything. The only time I’ve ever seen Kaos in stores was in GameStop and it’s the one I owns it was the only Kaos there. I almost got Krankcase but I figured Kaos would be more expensive later on so I got him instead. (Still don’t have Krankcase though, I have Robow, Wild Storm, but not the Dr.)
If I remember correctly she was supposed to be a preorder bonus that would be only sold separately in like Wave 4 or 5. But then every store just kinda put her on the shelves with Wave 1 anyway lol
really would've liked to see visuals of the skylanders in each wave rather than just gameplay the whole time. its very hard for me to process stuff that's not shown to me
I remember being so happy as a kid when I got Doom Stone as a gift for a wedding when I was little I didn’t even care for the wedding it was just getting the last swapper I needed and I’m so shocked that he is like £20 or even £30 these days, Trap team I had so little trap masters as I only had Snap shot, jaw breaker, my fav trap master wallop and head long rush as she was the only one left in stores at the time I was able to buy a new trap master lol however I’m on the after market buying each element of trap masters I don’t own
thank you so much for your vids i love your channel because i have never met anyone who likes skylanders people have made fun of me for liking it so thank you.you are my favourite youtuber i have seen some of your streams like 100% trapteam but i have been busy with school recently but anyway thank you for the videos 😀❤❤
I remember seeing waves 4 and 5 mixed together with the singles coming out much earlier then the adventure packs and then those came out together, I still remember spending buying the Robow one while my dad bought the Wild Storm one.
Did EVERYONE have the issue of one of starcasts hands falling off?? Also me flexing by owning all of the last 4 skylanders🤭and imaginators on the switch
hmm i am noticing that many of the skylanders that a dont have are early waves like chompy mage and stuff like that weird because i have ro bow and blaster tron even blackout how curious
This really unrelated but if there anything I can do for fun in Skylanders as I’m not very good and don’t have like loads of Skylanders but I’ve beat all the games again and just bought trap team on my ps5 I don’t have swap force
The release waves kinda sucked for me. I don't buy games day 1, so now it's like a month/year I don't know if that one Skylander is rare or good or not
Thrillepede I honestly don't think was ever released in the US that I can tell besides his Easter variant I got my regular one from a game store in the UK when it got here the box looked like it had been used for a soccer ball but the figure was perfectly fine so I was happy
Yes gear shift was a wave one trap Team Skylander you could pre-order her at GameStop with the starter pack cuz that's what I did and superchargers had the weirdest dates when it came to releasing stuff mostly because the few Skylanders were recall due to defects or issues with a trip was falling out something like that so some earlier waves gone just ended up being late wave

Cool video whoever gifted a membership on one of the streams, and it landed on me. Thank you so much for it.

Lesson learned, never leave your money behind

25:00 did you just say Golden Queen is NOT a villain?😂😂
I won't ever forget the time I bought a giant lot of in box inaginators stuff including an In Box wildstorm adventure pack for 50 dollars.
Im still so glad i got wildstorm on release. Getting him today would be a nightmare. Kinda like starcast
Can confirm, Gearshift was in fact Wave 1, but at least to my recollection, in a very odd way.

"Skylanders of the Water element are stronger in this zone"
I always thought the waves were kind of weird because a lot of later wave skylanders were kind of forgotten and pushed aside.

Should do a video on why boom bloom has the life symbol instead of the ninja symbol
I never realized this
14:26 wate laves
Lmao
Thrillipede was pretty easy to find in the UK, but a lot of people see the US prices and list him as that expensive despite there being an abundance:(
14:46 I think I got Gear Shift the same day as the starter pack back when it first came out so I mean.. at least I’m pretty certain she was wave 1
In Toys R US in Spain you could get her with the starter pack if you pre-ordered it, so yeah, checks out
She was in the opening cutscene of Trap Team as well
If I remember correctly she was supposed to be a preorder bonus that would be only sold separately in like Wave 4 or 5. But then every store just kinda put her on the shelves with Wave 1 anyway lol
@@anthonystrangio that’d definitely be interesting if that were the case

fr I was so disappointed when he started listing off skylanders rapid fire without showing any of them
I didnt know about waves so thanks very much for informing me 🥳
i gotchu

This is the video I just needed, thank you so much for it
15:03 gear shift was a GameStop exclusive that may have been tied to preordering the game if I remember correctly
7:14 that the lightcore version
I hate that freeze blade and trap shadow are in wave 4, I want them but they are expensive
When u showed the giants wave why did u show the swap force variant of pop fizz?
I don't have series 1 sadly
17:23 to 17:30 Is the best part😏
I remember getting the northern lights whirlwind the day giants came out at game stop one of my best memories
hmm i am noticing that many of the skylanders that a dont have are early waves like chompy mage and stuff like that weird because i have ro bow and blaster tron even blackout how curious
I actually got Enigma yesterday for like $4
Dang!
I remember getting most of my Skylanders from Toys “R” Us during the trap team era
There was nothing to promote these waves much. Thunderbolt, I always forget, but I know who wildfire is.
Can you provide a link to the sources? I want to know more information on all this.
THE HOTDOG GUY WAS HERE
WAVES!
14:25 Wate laves is so relatable
i managed to get tidepool and robow, but i never saw blastertron. it wasnt like he sold out, bc there was no empty shelves, all full
This really unrelated but if there anything I can do for fun in Skylanders as I’m not very good and don’t have like loads of Skylanders but I’ve beat all the games again and just bought trap team on my ps5 I don’t have swap force
SAID THIS WRONG
I HAVE ALL THE GAMES JUST SWAP FORCE ON THE WII
#Kaos4Smash
This explains a lot
Gearshift was a pre-order bonus I believe
Doomstone was the only swapper I didn't get sadly enough
I found a kaos figure in store in october 2016, so i can say for a fact it wasnt preorder exclusive
Im feeling romantical
classic
It could have been nice to include pictures of the skylanders ur talking about while explaining the waves..
hearing punk shock being rare and casually having 6 of them is awkward ngl
I wish this video had visuals.
Cool video
The release waves kinda sucked for me. I don't buy games day 1, so now it's like a month/year I don't know if that one Skylander is rare or good or not
I hate when people leave out reposes and variants in these types of vids especially the variants
Hey i got doom stone at the time for 15 dollar at Walmart 2013
Ayyy
E
first lol
w ipad
Thrillepede I honestly don't think was ever released in the US that I can tell besides his Easter variant I got my regular one from a game store in the UK when it got here the box looked like it had been used for a soccer ball but the figure was perfectly fine so I was happy
Yes gear shift was a wave one trap Team Skylander you could pre-order her at GameStop with the starter pack cuz that's what I did and superchargers had the weirdest dates when it came to releasing stuff mostly because the few Skylanders were recall due to defects or issues with a trip was falling out something like that so some earlier waves gone just ended up being late wave
TrapShadow and Robow never released in Denmark 🥲
