play! Play damn you! Play like you've never played before!!!
This is the exact same issue I have. I was contemplating the dark edition, but decided I would just get the regular, thinking Kaos would be available outside of the dark edition. Between the six people I have checking the stores in my area on a regular basis no one has seen the trap outside of the set.This game is the biggest pain to find all the items for. First of all the light and dark packs are available at Amazon, along with blastermind whom you need to unlock the magic gates in your game. You also only need one of each element trap, as you can switch out characters in the traps. The retail stores in my area have been utterly useless for sticking anything other than wave 1 for this game. If this happens with the next skylanders game I will not buy it at all. If I cannot get everything in wave 1 next time or wave 1 with 1-2 things missing. I have no issue with spending money on this game but I have major issues with how the products are being stocked in this area.
I have never seen the kaos trap in stock, I shop at stores 2-3 times per week and I was at target within one hour of this game's release and I have never seen a kaos trap. Thankfully I bought the dark edition.
I'm hopeful they will be coming back. I did some looking around online after I read that they weren't making anymore. So what I found makes it seem like they are still being made, just very low quantities. A store will get a shipment of one case of traps that contains 24, random variety apparently. Each case will contain two Kaos traps. Larger stores will get two cases in. Between people that actually want the trap and resellers, 2-4 will not last long.I found a Kaos trap at the Best Buy I work today. Wasn't there when I worked Monday so must of just came in.
I completely agree. It doesn't do Activision any good for the resellers to take advantage of consumers this way. If anything, like you said, it is upsetting the consumer and turning them away from future games. I have probably spent nearly $1000 on Skylanders since it came out, nothing to Activision, but still a decent junk for one little game franchise. Plus I have got a lot of other people addicted that have spent quite a bit.None of my stores have seen a kaos trap or the dark and light packs. I am not sure why they wouldn't make more of them, it doesn't benefit activision at all as the scalpers are just buying them all up and selling them for 700% profit with none of the money going into activision's pocket. This also makes people like me angry at them so if they pull a similar stunt with next years game I will not be buying it. Complaining about the money this costs is silly as you say but for those who want to throw money at it we can't since nothing is in stock. Ideally they should have one kaos trap on the shelves for every starter pack, it's an easy extra 5.99 in the pocket of activision for something that really should have come with the starter.
That's fantastic. Fingers crossed they are becoming more common. I checked online and a Best Buy that is about an hour away got both expansion packs in, so I'm hoping mine gets them and possibly some Kaos as well.Found a Kaos trap in the wild at Best Buy yesterday. It was just sitting there like at 1PM.
I got into it with a GS manager that opened up a box of Skylanders and out popped out a Gold Chop Chop. He tried to be sneaky but I told him I wanted it, he was hesitant and tried to give me a sob story about his "son" but I threatened to call the DM and still have it.Can't you order online with store pickup, or is that option not available for the kaos trap. I have had this issue with other items at GS and from what others have said it basically means that the employees are either holding the items for themselves or secretly holding them for friends etc...
I know on the 360 you first hit "A" on the second controller before you put the second Skylander on the portal.Ok so please forgive me as this might be a stupid question but how do you play 2 players on Trap Team? My son watches these "Skylanders Boy And Girl" videos on YouTube but I can't figure out how to do it. If I set 2 characters on the portal, it tells me there are too many skylanders on the portal. What am I missing here??
That is the same thing for my area. I haven't seen half of the items that have been released so far. The Gamestops are the same way. They advertise these big Skylanders days but they never get stock in. They always say they will be, but when I get there they have nothing.No supply here either where I live, no light or dark packs... Just nothing. GameStop schedules these "skylanders days" and I have yet to see them actually get a shipment in for one of these days.
