Before you drop a lot of cash on a Kaos trap from resellers:

I heard from Activision today that Kaos Traps will be included in the boxes of single trap crystals (identified as 87147 on the box) in waves 2.5 (which I believe is already over), 3 (the wave happening any time now), AND 4.

Basically, every box of single traps that retailers receive between now and Easter should have at least one Kaos trap in it. If you can wait, I think they are going to be easier to find in the next month or two.

Got it in wave 2, but good news for others.

I got my kaos trap day 1 from TRU, but good luck to everyone who hasn't found one yet

To each their own. I have no pity for those impatient enough to drop anything over $5.99 for the Kaos trap. It was foolish on the part of Activision not to flood the market with large quantities of them for the holiday season. Their marketing division should all get fired. They could have made a killing by making the Kaos trap more available and pumping out more light and dark expansion packs before the holidays. Now instead, frustrated parents will bail on the franchise and make little Johnny play with something other than Skylanders.

The only reason I have a Kaos Trap to this day was because I asked an employee when there would be shipments of them...
So when I went to Toys R Us that day, another employee was telling me they never had shipments of the trap but another employee went to check the back to see if they had them, and they had boxes of them!

Good luck to everyone looking for them, I would ask to see when they get shipments for it and ask if they have any in the back.

I agree. This perpetuates that they are making the seller's market for the items by letting them "have a go" before January, at the buyer's expense. This will definitely breed resentment.

I did eventually find 2 on the shelves of sainsburys after a visit to my local tru. I got mine in tru only because a tru salesman who stocks the shelves with skylanders asked if i had 1. The tru worker kept them aside for people who actually are gueninally after 1. I thought this was such a gud idea as i def did not want to over pay on ebay for 1 even though i already owned the ultimate kaos trap from the dark starter pack.

Quite honestly, I've only seen a Kaos trap on opening night.

Found one hiding between two fire traps at a local target. Its just timing and luck.

^ lol, very true! I got 1 of each w3 trap today at target, and that's all they had! 8 traps, very strange!

Thats OLD news & those boxes have been open and torn apart at the retailers that received them !!

How is it old news that Kaos Traps are in waves 3 AND 4 (which isn't even out yet)?

I got the dark edition kaos trap none of the stores in Santa Maria ca had them in I snagged a regular Kaos trap and left it in the box. I wish I could erase the info on my dark kaos trap so I can compare the two I belive the difference between them is the amount of time you have available to play as kaos. Sorry if this post is off topic I am new to this

Got Trap Team (my first Skylanders game) for Christmas and managed to find a Kaos Trap today at EB Games. I live in Australia. Many of the big retailers like Big W and Target didn't seem to have any.
