Skylander fans! A new Trap Master is available for Pre-order. Gearshift pre-orders are available now at least through Amazon.com and Best Buy. Check your favorite retailer to see they are offering a pre-order. You might think, why would I need to pre-order a Skylander, I’ll just pick her up when she is released? Well, it seems like they are toying with some new ideas at Activision. Gearshift is not scheduled to be released until 2015. However, if you pre-order her now, you are guaranteed to receive her on October 5th, the same day Trap Team is released. There is only a limited number of Gearshift figures that will be released for pre-order for the release of Trap Team. So if you think you want to play with this Tech Skylander sooner than later, you’ll probably want to make sure you get in on the pre-order as soon as possible.

Well it’s time for more Frito-Lay contest news. Earlier we told you about the contest for submitting new Skylander names for three possible new Skylanders figures. We now know these figures will be part of the Trap Team release, though, these do not appear to be Trap Masters. It looks like one will just be a new core Skylander for the game. Well the names have been chosen and now it’s time to vote for your favorite character. Personally, I’m a little disappointed in the names. I saw better names floating around various message boards. I’m not sure if they were just never submitted or what. I know that we never got around to submitting names, so maybe people just didn’t have enough faith in themselves. Regardless, ONE of these names will be your next new Skylander. So now, do you vote for your favorite character? Or your favorite name? It’s tough, but let your voice be heard. Head on over to Frito-Lay and submit your vote.
High Five is the fifth son of the Royal High Flying Dragonflies. He can fly higher and faster than any other dragonfly and is famous for his great speed.

Let us know which one is your favorite and why.

Today Conner shows us the Arkeyan Crossbow Battle Pack unboxing for Skylanders Swap Force. The Arkeyan Crossbow is a magical helper item that helps with attacking for a short period. It also unlocks new arenas to battle in. The pack comes with Thorn Horn Camo, and Grim Creeper, and I believe it is the only way to get Thorn Horn Camo at this time. Give it a watch and let us know what you think about the Arkeyan Crossbow Battle Pack.
Today we have a Kickoff Countdown unboxing video. This is the third and final version of countdown to be released. Currently he seems exclusive to Toys R.

Here is Conner’s Doom Stone Unboxing! First I must apologize for the audio of this video. It appears that Conner’s mic battery died about half way though his unboxing. Therefore we had to use the back up mic that doesn’t sound quite as good. And it picks up more of the sound in the entire room, so you may here some of my instructions to him as well. Still, this was a good unboxing video. We could tell before we opened it that Doom Stone was going to be tough to get out of the package, but Conner stuck with it and finally got him loose. Let us know what you think of Doom Stone!
Checkout Conner’s Boom Jet Unboxing. This time he feels like giving out some tips on how to get him out of the box. Also, if you listen close, you can hear me as I try to give him some direction. Boom Jet was not high on our list of characters to be excited for, but we’ll see how he plays and then give him a review. Let us know what you think of Boom Jet.
Lias and I are back with another Swap Force Arena Battle. This one proves to be much more difficult than the last. Harder enemies, a curse, and ice cannons that provide a near constant bombarding of icicles through the middle of the arena keep us on our toes. Check it out as Lias uses Quick Draw Rattle Shake and I use Magna Charge as we take on Icicle Bombing. Let us know what you think of this arena.
It looks like Doom Stone has been released in the US for the time being to Toys R Us. No word on when other stores will get him, but Toys R Us has had him since Tuesday 5/13. Surprisingly, I didn’t hear news of this until I made it to my local store today. He is the last normal swappable character to be released.
Also, don’t forget, Toys R Us is supposed to have the Kickoff Countdown figure available this Sunday 5/18.
