Back in SSA days, people were mailing them around so everyone could unlock the arena etc...I can't remember for sure, but I think in SF it might have been rendered useless, or didn't register the same or something...Daphney should know.
I actually don't have one and have never had one. That was a late add on to Best Buy (this was before people stalked the sales etc). I went all in on launch day at TRU (they gave away your choice of Dark Light Crypt or Pirate Seas AP with your Starter Pack for those who are unaware), and then I picked up some triples at Target. Probably the most fun I've had hunting Skylanders (outside of a few isolated instances) and this was before it was "big."
That said, my local Best Buy seemed to have held them back...I figured employees, or more likely a manager were hocking them on ebay. By Thanksgiving people were freaking out about "Target Whirlwind" and "Walmart Drill Sergeant" AND the Volcanic Vault. If I remember right it went from "free with a Starter Pack"--Lots of people had to argue this with their BB, to "Free with X$ purchased." I tried 2x to get it under this last whirl of a promotion and both times the store told me they had them, but were only giving them out with starter packs.
If you really want one you will have to shell out...If you just want it for in-game collection purposes, someone might be willing to send it to you. I'd do it, but I have honestly never had one.
If I had to put a value on it, it would be $9.99...hence why I haven't bought one, lol. I think it fit on the original Portal of Power's surface and then could be opened up (like a vault).
