We bought the kids Christmas (9y + 7y) the Starter Pack and it's been an instant hit. Actually, a 5-star product, but unfortunately comes quickly to the need for additional falling and Skylanders. Original my son: "The game is great, but I think it's stupid that you still have to buy traps and Skylander". A must are the traps in order to catch all the villains can (3-Pack 15, - Euro). The Kaos-case is 56, - Euro. Here insight was with the boys that the worst possible. And since you do not always want to play with the same desire for a second Trapmaster loud is here quickly (the Trapmaster costs 15, - Euro).
Either you are a lot of money or you have to explain to the children well, why you can not buy all the figures.
