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?

I know an earlier poster said it but it is saying in stock in Smyths on selected areas - but not available click and collect, so defo worth checking in store. Not in my local one unfortunately. Bristol, Salisbury and Swansea were the among the areas with it in stock.

I've just checked smyths after trying earlier and it says they are in stock but not available for click and collect. Have just tried ringing as it's open until 11pm but nobody answered. I'll take a trip there after school in mornings but it's the other side of my town, hope they don't sell out before I get there, thank you!

Sorry, don't know if this link will work but a lot of you may be interested to read this thread.......and may explain why you can't get this for love not money. Staff in large toy store buying them before they hit the shelves, then selling them online for 10 times the rrp!

So annoying just checked stock again on smyths and is not saying tbc, not sure how they've got out of stock from half 10 last night to now.

Wondering if the staff are snapping them up here too Hmm

So frustrating! My DS put this specifically in his letter to Father Christmas but I refuse to pay such an astronomical amount. I'm livid after reading that thread in aibu. I think Father Christmas might have to leave a note and gift card and explain that DS can get it in the New Year. He's going to be gutted. Sad

I'm sure you can mock up a gift voucher type thing for ds from Father Christmas as it fell off of the sleigh? The elves can deliver another one after christmas :)

There are still a few Smyths stores showing as in stock but unfortunately they can't be reserved. If the rumours are anything to go by they're probably not even in the shops floor...

Just went to smyths and they didn't have any in, the person said they haven't had more than 8 in at any given time, there's a store about an hour away that is saying low in stock but I can't find a phone number for them and don't want to travel that far to find out they are out of stock

Leeds crown point is showing in stock on smyths website, however it did the same with the Hull one last night and when I mentioned it I got bewildered looks.

The staff probably hid the trap in the stock room under loads of dusty crap no one would go near so they could buy it after their shift ended.
