Kaos Trap

216 replies

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?

I checked my local Game and Asda today without success. I'll try again on Friday when I'm next in town.

I have emailed Argos and reported the listing to ebay. I read an article recently that said argos and ebay were working together to remove listings like these over a similar issue with frozen dolls recently.

i'll be doing the rounds here on friday too as i'm at the local big shopping center. I've had no email from Argos about stock yet.

Good work Doctor and Woolly and best of luck Striped Candy! Must admit I am feeling today as if I am going to be defeated. Damn you Evil Kaos! If I do find him I may have to trap him myself just to get my own back.

Gone up to £19.99 in Argos Xmas Confused

I'm heading to tesco in a bit. Won't hold my breath but I'll have a look for you.

supermariossister · 10/12/2014 10:23

I'm another one hunting Argos responded to my fb message asking about stock and said expected to receive stock 13th of this month but since then it's gone up to 19.99.

morechildrenplease · 10/12/2014 10:36

Thanks Shamaze! Hope Argos are not jumping on the overcharging bandwagon.

I've just preorded a trap from Amazon Italy. Available from 15th december.
7 euros plus postage.

WhatWouldTheDoctorDo · 10/12/2014 12:58

Thanks for that post neddle. I've also just pre-ordered from Italy (I think!!). And the postage didn't seem too much. Still cheaper than blimmin' argos. Outrageous that they've put it up to £19.99.

Worth watching out for at Game, Smyths toys and ASDA to see if they get stock in on the 13th too?

StripedCandycaneOss · 10/12/2014 13:44

smyths here dont have it, nor do argos. i asked the guy in smyths and he said even their supplier hasnt got a clue when they're getting more.

WhatWouldTheDoctorDo · 10/12/2014 13:48

I've had an order confirmation from Amazon Italy, which I was able to translate, and it looks like with shipping I've paid around £10-£11 and shipping estimated by 23rd December so fingers crossed! I'm quite happy with that as I don't really have the time to traipse around hunting for one over the next week.

Good luck with everyone on the hunt for them!

morechildrenplease · 10/12/2014 21:36

Well done neddle and Doctor. Thanks supermario. Will take a look at Amazon Italy and Argos again.

I couldn't translate the Italian website, but I was able to figure it out very easily. I logged in using my UK registration and all my delivery addresses and card details were available.

StripedCandycaneOss · 10/12/2014 22:43

its also in stock on the French site.

i have bought it, says delivery for 14th december and its cost me about £10

LucasNorthsTwiglets · 11/12/2014 09:27

Striped, I am desperate for one of these too but can't see a cheap one on the French site, just one for 99 Euros! Any chance of a link?

LucasNorthsTwiglets · 11/12/2014 09:29

Can't see it on Italy for anything cheaper than 99 Euros either.... :(

StripedCandycaneOss · 11/12/2014 09:39

only that 99 one is showing up this morning :( looks like its out everywhere!

LucasNorthsTwiglets · 11/12/2014 09:39

There is one on ebay for £29.99 with £4.99 postage from Italy. The seller is allowing offers so you could get it for about £30, possibly. I'm not prepared to pay that much for it but it may help someone!

WhereIsMyHat · 11/12/2014 11:50

I can't believe argos have hiked the price to £19.99.

I'm going to have to have a long chat with my DS about the Kaos shortage as he is adamant he needs one. Bloody Christmas frenzies.

WhereIsMyHat · 11/12/2014 11:56

I just bought one from the French site I think too.

LucasNorthsTwiglets · 11/12/2014 14:27

WhereIsMyHat, did you pay 90-ish Euros for it or find it cheaper?

WhereIsMyHat · 11/12/2014 15:35

I made a mistake, wrong trap. I had to cancel the order. My first and last attempt at French amazon!!!

planestrainsautomobiles · 11/12/2014 16:05

I've bought my DS1 Skylanders Trap Team for the iPad this year. What is Kaos? I have bought a few figures to go alongside the game - have I missed something obvious that I need to buy? Thanks!
