Off topic but Amazon has the Skylanders Dark and Light Expansion kits for the Trap Team game in stock right now. Hard to find right now! People are selling them on eBay for about 3 times the price! Now if only I could find the Kaos trap!

If interested, you can currently head here to snag the Skylanders Trap Team: Sunscraper Spire Light Element Expansion Pack for $29.99 AND here to score the Skylanders Trap Team: Midnight Museum Dark Element Expansion Pack for $29.99.

Side Note from Collin: So I hope I am linking to the right ones reader, Michelle, is referring to. Please correct me if I’m wrong. When it comes to video games, I am pretty out of the loop! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    These are hard to find! I snagged them last week at Game Stop but haven’t seen them anywhere else. A great find for Skylander fans!

  2. Kara

    Whoohoo! We have been looking for the light expansion pack ๐Ÿ˜„ Just got the dark last week.

  3. Michelle W

    These are the ones. These are new elements for the game, light and dark. It also opens up a new area of the game as well. I just wished the dark one worked as a Kaos trap.

  4. ashley

    I just bought them both! Thanks! My youngest will be thrilled!

  5. Jamie

    I found the Kaos trap sold by itself at target. It was behind some of the other elements.

    • Michelle W

      How long ago? I know it was released in October but didn’t know until after Christmas to look for it. If only Santa knew ๐Ÿ˜ณ

      • Dawn

        Toys are us is now getting Laos traps in regularly starting first week of February, we found three there and the employees said the are getting whole cases of them every week, they are still flying off the shelves but you can get one now where as before they were not even getting them in the stores, I live in delaware.

    • Lisa

      I just got Kaos trap this week at toys r us, they were behind the entertainment/video game counter, in a drawer. I had to ask and that’s where the guy had to go. This was the Overland Park, KS, store.

      • Michelle W

        Thanks. Gives me hope they are still coming ๐Ÿ˜Š

    • Jamie

      I found it on Dec 26th in Nebraska. Good Luck!

  6. Lynn

    These have also been found at TRU, Best Buy and Walmart. I’ve been reading that GameStop has been selling these packs BEFORE they should. So hopefully there won’t be too many disappointed kids on Saturday.

  7. Michelle W

    Has anyone had any luck seeing a Kaos trap in a store? Most of the store employees say that it was only a pre-order item or had to be bought with the Dark Limited Edition game that sold for $99. I’m hoping it will still come out as more traps are sent to the stores. I refuse to pay $50-$80 for a $6 item!

    • Sarah

      We bought one at target towards the end of October. My husband found the item online at target, called a few stores that showed them in stock & had them hold it.

    • April

      The Kaos trap that came with the Dark Limited Edition game is a bigger version. The Kaos trap sold by itself is a smaller version. When the traps first came out we purchased the smaller one at TRU by itself. We have the larger one as well from the Dark Edition. A couple of weeks ago I heard a store associate tell a child that there are rumors that they will release more Kaos traps but I can remember if the store associate said the large or small one. The rumored release is probably on a blog somewhere if you search for it. I do not know if the small vs large do anything different, I’ll have to ask my DS.

      • April

        DS says large or small Kaos, they both do the same thing in the game. So it doesn’t matter which one you have.

    • Brooke

      I bought one at Wal-Mart the day after Christmas. Lucky (or unlucky) for me my kiddo was with his dad on Christmas so I had time to sneak it in his stocking before he made it back to me.

  8. Sarah

    My hubby got to Toys R Us 1.5 hrs before they opened to get these. They were BOGO 40% off so I guess it was worth it…

  9. lex

    If I get just one for my nephew which one would you all recommend? Thanks!!

    • Michelle W

      I have been told that the Dark one is the best and hardest to find.

    • LynnNV

      You’ll eventually need the Light Element pack. Both packs open parts of the game and also trap light and dark element villains.

  10. dani

    they need both sets my son got them for xmas! i went to my gamestop for the exclusive goblin light trap n they still had both sets for $29.99 tru had them for $31.99 ea

    • lex

      You need to have both sets for it to work? I’m super out of the loop but my nephew would love this for his bday but I’m not able to buy both.

      • Lynn

        No, you don’t need both for them to work but your gamer will eventually need both packs to open different levels of the game AND trap light and dark element villains. HTH.

  11. Bonnie

    Thank you so much!! Finally ordered these for my son.
    Also, yes, the kaos trap is hard to find. We bought the starter pack for my sons birthday and we bought the dark edition. It came with the koas trap. Thank goodness for that b/c I haven’t seen it anywhere!

  12. Cassandra Shellhorn

    My son loves this. Looking for Kaos trap.

  13. Dorothy

    These sets are $29.99 each @ Gamestop. However, on Sat. it is Skylanders Day and they will be an extra $10 off it you buy both according to an email I received. Now, someone don’t buy them all before I get there. LOL.

    • Diana

      I was planning to do the same thing. Keeping my fingers crossed hopefully I can get one each that day at gamestop.

  14. Rebecca

    Can you price match this to walmart or target? Does anyone know. And how much do this run for are they $30 each thats expensive. Do you think the price will drop? Thanks in advance.

    • Diana

      Yes, it’s 29.99 each and yes! they ARE expensive!!! Unfortunately Skylanders are so hot right now I don’t think they’re gonna drop the price any time soon. You’ll be surprise how much money people are willing to spend on these.

      I just started buying them after I got the game for my son for Christmas thinking that he’s got what he’s been asking for, a game. Boy was I wrong! I was shocked after I found out how much it actually is gonna cost for all of these ‘accessories’ that the game ‘need’ to have in order for the player to get the full access to all parts of the game. ๐Ÿ™

  15. Alyshia

    I bought these at Walmart right after Christmas I didn’t even know they had been released yet but my sons were wanting more skylanders and there where none to be found so wanting to make my kids happy I started crawling on the floor looking underneath the racks for anything skylanders and found both light and dark under there my boys were screaming in the store so everyone saw me on the ground digging but even though they broke the bank my boys were happy.

  16. Paula

    I bought the dark element expanaion pack for my son but everytime I put midnight museum on the portal it freezes the WII and we have to plug it out. Do we have to have completed all previous levels first?

  17. Dina

    I bought the light & dark expansion pack at Gamestop on Jan 8th. Knight Light can not be read on the portal of the wii u. So disappointed, i was on the phone with activision for an hour and they said something about a patch. Do you realize a 6 year old doesn’t understand what that means. Make the patch already!!!Activision start helping your product I know we’re not an isolated incident!

  18. Dawn

    Amazon has raised the price to 52.99 on these๐Ÿ˜ฅ

  19. Matthew Alisha Snell

    I have these fixing to sell my sons whole game for him on a yardsale site,,shew, AM I GLAD I googled it!! We were gonna sell ALL he had for 80 bucks and it has only been played about 3 times, he wants disney Infinity now so WOA!!!

  20. Michelle V.

    Now they are over $100! Absolutely rediculous! I can’t even get a set for $60 which is twice the original price. I have looked everywhere for a month. I really hate that people buy up everything then scalp it for so much. Just rediculous.

    • rrey2

      It is ridiculous! These people trying to make so much money, should not take the fun away from the kids. Makes me mad. I’ve been trying to find it for my son’s bday.

      • Michelle V

        I have been looking for my sons birthday too. I will not pay a scalpers price. I’m ok with a little over retail but over $100. No. I’d rather just give him the money. There are other things he wants.

  21. Pat

    Is activision going to continue to make these expansion packs?

    • Jen

      just started having them at target again, better hurry, sell out quickly
