I know these had a limited release at TRU (and it sounds like Game Stop) before Christmas. I wasn't able to pick any up at the time. I haven't seen any news about when they will be coming out in a wider release. Does anyone know when they will be available?

You might want to call your TRU on Tuesdays, this is when they get their big shipments in and have a better chance at getting them on that day than any other day. If you wait till the weekend, you might be out of luck. Game Stop has been getting them in consistently (At least the two I check).

What sucks is that I saw it for $5.99 on the site but I kept getting a rejected cookie message everytime I tried to put it into my cart. I deleted all my cookies and of course no further cheap Kaos traps all day long. I doubt it was my cookies at all but a massive hit on the site with people trying to buy them. Some day I'll get you Kaos!

You best be worth it too as that dark trap crow is so over powered that I don't really need any other villians to beat the game. To bad they didn't make 3 different molds for Kaos and flood the market like they did with the water traps. Everywhere I look is a sea of blue traps. I honestly had expected Kaos to be that dirt common. Boy was I wrong.

Agreed on the blue traps. I believe we have all six molds now, along with introduction into an eight pack, so folks have had enough of them.

Oh I posted a comment about Kaos traps here in the wrong posting. Sorry! Im rather amazed at how the light and dark sets flew off the shelves and cannot be found. They are double the price online now. I guess it was worth getting there at the store day one at 6 AM to get a pair. They had at least a hundred of each and I thought no way would they sell all those! Wrong again! I really underestimated how popular Skylanders really are.

I'm a little miffed as the two towers are simply worthless...I've unlocked the levels and now they sit untouched for nearly a month and what good are they? A burst weapon for Sky 5 at best, bleh. At least the figures and trapable villians are extra cool to make up for it.

After all the light and dark packs sold from my toys r us, they made that shelf space an entire shelf dedicated completely to water traps. Of course there were more elements elsewhere, but the water trap selection was even BIGGER.

They should put the water traps next to Legendary Zoo Lou to keep him company. My TRU has a special end cap of pegs dedicated to him. It seems a lot of the Giants Legendary triple packs are trickling in along with appearances by fellow Legendary Bouncer and Legendary LightCore Chill. The TRU exclusives have all been overproduced with the exception of the SSA triple pack. I went to a much smaller town TRU last month and still saw metallic green Gill Grunt and Shroomboom collecting dust.

I only found the dark and light traps at GameStop before skylanders day, but the clerk wouldn't give me the $10 off before event even though the ad didn't specify so I was stubborn and refused to buy them. I work right by TRU and they haven't had them, neither has Target or GameStop since :-(

That's messed up considering the $10 off deal was valid from 01/07-01/13 per their Weekly ad

I know! That's why I was extra mad about it. I'd rather pay some other store full price than GameStop after that incident.

My son found a dark element pack at Walmart. I'm not sure if they had light or not. He just found the dark one and showed it to me. I didn't bother going back to check for anything else.

They are everywhere around here (North GA) now. I was at Walmart last night and they had virtually no Skylanders, probably 50 water traps, and 6 of each light and dark packs. Best Buy was the same way, cleared out except for the light/dark packs, and even Target, which had a few more figures than the other two stores, had at least 4 of each light and dark packs. They are getting really easy to find. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see these things selling for half price this time next year. I don't expect a Darklight Crypt kind of problem with them.

Or keep checking Amazon. Both light and dark packs have been on sale for $29.99 at various times much of the past 2 days (only 3rd party sellers as of this moment). Why help fund scalpers on EBay?

Exactly the same situation at my Walmart in East Greenbush, NY. Ever since Xmas the Skylander shelves have been almost empty, but I found 2 dark packs on the shelf on Saturday. What was the absolute luckiest moment ever though, is that when I was taking a dark pack to a scanner (which was in the hardware section) to see if it was still in the system, I also found one light pack, sitting on top of a box right next to the scanner! So I ended up getting both! smilie

Ordered mine on Amazon Sunday night at 29.99 each. Got them i today. Its a pretty decent expansion pack. I've only played the Light pack though until it glitched on me towards the end of the level...

I actually found the Dark pack on ebay for store price 31.99!
It says you buy it directly from toys r us so maybe that means it still available at toys r us?

today i went into 2 targets, both had 2-3 packs of both light and dark, this is in southern California. May be worth a shot looking at your local target.

Spotted a Light pack at target the other day and passed on it. Will wait for more sales lol
But yeah, that was the first one I've seen ever in the wild, so it looks like other stores should be getting them.

I never saw any of these packs yet around Quebec, unfortunately. Is there anyone which have spotted these somewhere in Canada?
