Kaos Trap

The only thing DS wants from Santa is a Kaos Trap. Waaaaah. Have spent days looking for one online and even phoned Activision to ask if they could help. A lovely man from Game phoned round all his shops bless him - took me 20 mins holding to get through to him though. No joy. I suspect the Iron Fist of Arkus is trying to destroy our chances of defeating the evil Kaos. Can anyone help? Pretty please?

Ps Activision if u are listening, I understand a wish to encourage rarity but my poor boy will be sobbing on Xmas day as will others if you can't provide stock. My DS is only 5 though a skylanders veteran so wont understand why Santa can't bring it.

i dont understand why they're so popular either, if they can keep the games themselves in stock, surely it shouldnt be so hard to get these!!

They are the key part of the game so would like to think it is an error but so sad for all the little ones wanting one

I'll keep look out. I bought Skylanders trap team dark edition in October, it was £72.99, but you got wildfire as an extra along with the Kaos trap, so worked out better money wise. Have you seen if you could get the dark edition, and maybe return the original starter pack you've purchased?

Wherrabouts are you? Am in Midlands (and often up.at 3am.with the baby) will see if I can reserve any in the vicinity?

Lots of love to What the quack and Runaway.

Starter pack so well used now that can't be returned. Am in South.

Runaway bless you at 3 am! Hope you are getting some sleep.

I tried a lot more argos stores yesterday, none to be had anywhere.

DillydollyRIP · 06/12/2014 10:00

Can't believe the prices they're going for on eBay
£30, For something worth £6?!
Even the snow glow Elsa is £50-£60 on eBay which isn't double rrp, the traps are 5x rrp Xmas Shock

WhatWouldTheDoctorDo · 06/12/2014 10:39

It's ridiculous. I hate how people buy up kids toys, contributing to shortages so they can then sell at vastly inflated prices.

I phoned Smyths today. None there and they have no idea whether they are arriving before Xmas. Activision - can you hear us? Please help!!!

Crazy. Saw on hotUKdeals some people have nabbed one in asda. Might be worth a look of you have one close by?

Apparently retailer have to order 20 normal traps in order to get 2 kaos traps. Madness.

HappyHippyChick · 06/12/2014 13:21

Nothing near me or my DH's work Sad

DillydollyRIP · 06/12/2014 13:34

Game.co.uk have a stock checker too.

HollyJollyDillydolly · 06/12/2014 13:48

Typed in random places on the Argos checker but can't see any in stock anywhere Xmas Confused

I gave up searching and paid (well) over odds from eBay in the end - DS has ASD, and it's the only thing he's asked for, so I didn't really have any other choice. Thankfully it arrived quickly and beautifully packaged, so Christmas in the Inept household is savedGrin
