Skylanders Trap Team: Kaos Trap Pack

great as advertised

I managed to get my hands on a Kaos trap for my son at the “normal” retail price for the trap after 3 weeks of trying so I figured I’d throw a few tips out there for other parents. First, Gamestop appears to get a fresh load of Kaos traps in once every 2-3 weeks. You will have to buy a group with 2 other traps to get the Kaos trap but you will pay retail for all 3 traps. I managed to get mine on Monday of last week and I’ve seen on forums that they had another load in 16 days earlier. Based on other messages I’ve seen and my own experience they seem to be placed online around lunch time. Second, check Best Buy. They will not ship the traps to you but if there is a store close to you with Kaos traps it will allow you to do an in store pick up on the item. Third, wait until the wave 4 of traps are released. With that release there are 2 triple packs being released that have Kaos traps in them. I haven’t seen a release date for the next batch of traps but you can see pictures of the packs on other websites (search: New Traps Triple Packs revealed for Trap Team). Good luck, I know it can be frustrating.

To fully use all the content available in Trap Team, you will need 8 Trap Masters (large Skylanders with impressive crystal weapons) and 9 Traps (crystal figures used to hold bonus characters). You get 1 Trap Master and 2 Traps from the Starter Pack, so you'll need 7 Masters and 7 Traps (1 from each of the remaining elements). This means you'll be spending about $140 (minimum; estimating $15 per Trap Master and $5 per Trap, not counting any tax or shipping costs). That's a lot of money. However, that's only if you plan to spend the money on all the content. If you just want an extra Trap to play a few bonus characters, that's fine too. The Air Trap does exactly what it's supposed to do; it holds Air Element villains. Whether you want to spend a few dollars on a single Trap, or you want to go all-in and get everything, this Air Trap is definitely a nice piece.

Just as described and at a fraction of the price that everyone else is selling them for. My son LOVES all things Skylanders and just entered the world of Trap Team. Well because this game is not the newest one on the market some the the trap gems are difficult to find and can be very expensive if you do find them. This was a great price with Prime shipping and made my little five year old VERY happy, so now he's "trapping" even more bad guys.

Stop the whining already.... it is expensive, it is a sales gimmick, and this is completely normal marketplace behavior when the new "cool" thing comes out (This even happens with adult items... iPhone 6 anyone?!?!). We purchased a Kaos trap for my son for his game this Christmas. He love it and it works well. The whole game is aimed at encouraging continued purchases of characters, traps, etc but any parent will know that looking at it. The characters are collectible and my son is very happy with all the items he has collected. The characters are good quality and seem to be durable. We are happy with our purchase overall.

Skylanders has a really good marketing plan going on. Once my son started playing the games, he started wanting every type of Skylander and trap. I believe these only work with the Trap Team release. In that release they are critical to playing longer. Each trap can hold a villain. Once trapped players can use the villains to fight. This is a good way for them to continue if the hero losses too much life. Villains are not given health, but rather timers, and damage removes extra time. Once the player switches back the the hero, the villain's timer starts to recover. I recommend these traps for the Trap Team player.

My son and I have had so much fun playing Skylanders Trap Team. This is a really good deal to be able to buy three traps at the same time. Though it is not required for the game, it is a good idea to have a few extra of each kind of trap so that you can trap several different villains to play the game with. There are specific sections that can only be unlocked with the right kind of villain.

Finally got a Kaos trap via Amazon for $5.99 but not before I bought one on Ebay for $40. Not happy that Activision has made this trap so hard to come by. Seems to me they are leaving money on the table and creating a scalper market in the process. As for the actual Kaos trap, it is pretty cool. Kaos is a powerful character when you finally get to play him.

Shipping was a little long, but well worth the wait. Thanks
