This week, Toys R Us is offering a deal if you are still looking to collect more SuperChargers and Vehicles. From 10/11 through 10/17 if you purchase any SuperChargers Vehicle (16.99) you will get 50% off any one SuperChargers Character ($13.99 regular price). This will save you roughly $7.00 and make the pair about $24. This is about a $1 cheaper than you can get the dual packs at Best Buy ($24.99) but you are not limited to just those figures in the dual packs. If you are a Gamer’s Club member, then Best Buy is still the better deal for the dual packs as you will get them for $19.99. But you can mix and match at Toys R Us, so it’s not too bad of a deal if you are looking for characters that are not in the current dual packs. This means that if you buy the Shark Tank, you don’t have to get Shark Shooter Terrafin as your 50% character, you can get any character for 50% off.

SuperChargers Wave 1 Ready For Pre-Order
After checking out several of the retail websites this morning, it became obvious that most of the SuperChargers Wave 1 characters are available for Pre-Order at several popular retailers. It also showed a couple of new exclusives and alternate versions which are also available for Pre-Order. Best Buy also showed a couple of Dual Packs available for pre-order, but these have a release date of 10/2. This possibly could be the date for Wave 2, so stay tuned. In the past Wave 2 follows almost immediately after Wave 1, so it’s possible. It also doesn’t say what is in the dual packs, so it could be combos of Skylanders released with Wave 1. For example, the dual pack could include maybe Stormblade and the Sky Slicer, or it could be a brand new Skylander and vehicle combo. My bet would be on Skylanders that have already come out in single packs, so you may want to wait. You would only about $3 on a pair though, so it might be worth getting them separately. We probably will know soon, as Best Buy will probably update their website any day. For now lets’ check out what is available for Wave 1.
UPDATE: Well, this morning I got an e-mail from GameStop, and sure enough they advertised that Frightful Fiesta will be “first” at GameStop. I guess even Skylanders now have timed exclusives. Also, Target is showing a Nitro Stealth Stinger, but only if you search for Skylanders and not SuperChargers.

Trap Team Deals for 10/12/2014
Trap Team has only been out a week now but that hasn’t stopped the sales especially at Toys R Us. So here is a look at the Trap Team Deals for 10/12/2014. This week, Toys R Us holds the only sale that I can find. If you buy any Trap Team Starter Pack, you can get any Skylanders figure for free. They show Trap Shadow so it is assumed you can get figures from any game and from any price range. ie you could get a Giant, Trap Master or a core figure. Mini’s probably don’t count because the sale does state a “Single” figure and minis come in two packs. Also at Toys R Us, if you buy any Skylanders Trap Team figure, you can get a single trap for just .99. That seems like a pretty good deal to me.
Also if you are still looking for Swap Force or Giants figures, K-Mart is having a buy 1 get 1 free on figures from those older games.
That looks to be all of the deals this week. If you know of another Skylanders deals this week, let us know in the comments.
