This past weekend we found that Toys R Us had the last three Skylanders available for sale. Unfortunately we did not find many of the missing traps that we haven’t been able to find lately, but we did get a couple we needed, so here is our final Trap Team Mega Epic Unboxing (Wave 5). Watch as we unbox Enigma, Flip Wreck, Fling Kong and some random traps. I guess it’s not too mega or epic with such few characters to unbox. 🙂
A couple weeks ago, a check of the big name retail websites, showed that Enigma was in stock at a couple of the nearby Targets. With no signs of Flip Wreck or Fling Kong anywhere online I decided to wait a bit. Well tonight, on a whim I decided to check out Toys R Us. Mostly I was just looking to grab a few traps that I have missed so far. At first I saw Enigma, which wasn’t too shocking. Upon closer inspection I saw that they had both Flip Wreck and Fling Kong on the shelves. I also found the Air Toucan, though I didn’t notice many of the new traps that have yet to be released. I did however, pick up a couple of the Wave 3 traps that I never really saw in stores. That makes me wonder if the Wave 3 traps ever came out with or if they were pushed back. If you remember, Wave 3 seemed to be most affected by the west coast shipping strike. In any case my trap information is far from official, it’s mostly just what I have observed and have seen through rumors. I also didn’t see any single packages of Snap Shot, Food Fight, or Deja Vu. I have no idea if they will get their own separate releases, but in the past most of those characters did get single character releases and they usually happen in Wave 5. They are also somewhat limited as not many people would already have the packs that they came in. But Blades has already been released as a single character having also come with the Nightmare Express pack. As far as waves go, Wave 5 isn’t very large. Hopefully the rest of the traps and any single version characters will make there way out soon, but for now the main three new Wave 5 Skylanders are out at my local Toys R Us. If they are out at mine, then there is a good chance they might be at yours.
Déjà Vu is a new Magic core Skylander making her debut in Skylanders Trap Team. She also has a Legendary variant called Legendary Déjà Vu which is sold exclusively by Toys R Us. She comes as part of the Mirror of Mystery Adventure Pack which is an additional level for Trap Team. Déjà Vu lived on a remote island in Skylands where she loved to play with magic and food. She desperately wanted to build a machine that would make the perfect three-minute egg in only half the time. She read one magic book after another and even consulted the lost plans used to create the legendary Tower of Time. Finally she finished construction of the giant machine. Unfortunately, a gang of evil giant sea slugs learned about her machine and wanted to take it for themselves. They were trying to acquire super speed. As the very well armed slugs descended on the island, Déjà Vu refused to let them get a hold of her machine. She turned the clock’s hands to thirteen causing a time overload. Unfortunately Déjà Vu was caught up in the blast. However, the blast gave her amazing powers over time. She used these powers to stop the evil slugs and send them back to their home. Now she is a Skylander who uses her powers to turn back the clock on evil!
Sheep Creep – Villain ReviewSheep Creep is the first villain in the game that you will capture in level 1 – Soda Springs. He is a Life villain which means you will need a Life trap to capture him. You’ll then want to make sure he is loaded up in your Life Trap when you start Level 3 – Chompy Mountain, because his quest will be the first quest you come to on that level. Sheep Creep is baaaaaad news! After years of being pestered, it was inevitable that a sheep would finally go bad. That sheep was Sheep Creep, and he carries a big gun in the form of a couple of side mounted missile launchers.

Jawbreaker is a new Tech Trap Master making his debut in Skylanders Trap Team. He also has a Legendary variant called Legendary Jawbreaker which is sold exclusively by Toys R Us. Jawbreaker began his existence as an ordinary robot. He was one of many robots who operated and maintained the enormous underground machines that controlled and powered the legendary Sky Train which traveled between a thousand different islands daily. One day a large army of Gear Trolls invaded the underground complex who wanted to take over the legendary Sky Train for their own use. Jawbreaker used his massive fists and beat the troll army into retreat. His ability to think for himself set him apart from the rest of the robots. For this, and his heroic actions he was made a member of the Trap Team.
The Chompy Mage is the first Doom Raider in the game that you will capture. He is a Life villain which means you will need a Life trap to capture him. The Chompy Mage is an old magician who was raised by Chompies. He grew up embracing the Chompy way, believing that Skylands would be a better place if everyone was a Chompy. He was locked up inside Cloudcracker Prison for trying to perform illegal enchantments to turn the inhabitants of Skylands into Chompies. It was there he met the Doom Raiders who thought he was completely crazy, but since the Chompy Mage can see through the eyes of any Chompy in Skylands he was accepted into the group for being a very good spy.
Snap Shot is a new Water Trap Master making his debut in Skylanders Trap Team. He comes packaged with the console versions of the game but not the 3DS version. He also has a Dark variant called Dark Snap Shot which is packaged with the special Dark Edition starter pack of Skylanders Trap Team. Snap Shot isn’t your average Trap Master. He is the leader of the Trap Masters. He achieved this position by being the most famous monster hunter in all of Skylands. Snap Shot is a Crocagator that comes from the remote Swamplands. He grew up hunting chompies for fun. After catching every evil critter in his homeland, he wanted a new challenge. He perfected his archery skills by studying with the Elves. He also spent a bunch of time with the wolves who helped him master his hunting skills. Soon he earned the reputation of being the best monster hunter in the Skylands and Master Eon took notice. Master Eon made Snap Shot a Trap Master and he quickly became the leader of the Trap Masters tasked with hunting and capturing the most notorious villains the Skylands had ever known.
Here is a fun video. Watch the capturing of all of the Villains of Skylanders Trap Team.

Food Fight is a new Life core Skylander making his debut in Skylanders Trap Team. He comes packaged with the console versions of the game but not the 3DS version. He also has a Dark variant called Dark Food Fight which is packaged with the special Dark Edition starter pack of Skylanders Trap Team. Food Fight is the result of a troll food experiment gone wrong. When the Troll Farmers Guild tried to fertilize their soil with gunpowder they got quite the surprise. Food Fight rose from the ground. One day when a rogue army of gnomes tried to wrap the Asparagus people in bacon, Food Fight defended his home garden by fighting off the gnomes with his Tomato Launcher and Zucchini Blast add-on. He showed that he does more than just play with his food, he battles with it! Master Eon decided that Food Fight was one veggie lover he needed on his side so he made him a Skylander.
