Expansion Packs and Some Wave 3 Out Today

by

Expansion Packs and Some Wave 3 Out TodayDecember 21st marks the release of the Light Element Expansion Pack and the Dark Element Expansion Pack. It also seems to mark the beginning of the Wave 3 release characters. Toys R Us once again will have a temporary jump on other retailers. This morning at my local Toys R Us, I saw both of the new expansion packs, two new mini packs: Gill Runt with Thumpling and Small Fry with Weeruptor, and two new core Skylanders in Cobra Cadabra and Trail Blazer. I did not see the two new core Skylanders of the light and dark elements that were rumored to be out with the expansion packs. However, my local Toys R Us employee said they are expecting more characters on Tuesday or Wednesday and then again after Christmas. There are rumors of other characters that will be part of a Wave 3 release. Be sure to check out all of the possible Wave 3 figures that we have pieced together here. By early January we should see all of Wave 3 characters in stores.

Wave 3 Trap Team Skylanders

by

Wave 3 Trap Team SkylandersWave 3 Trap Team Skylanders started trickling out on 12/21/2014. Based on some reports from different states and some rumors and internet sightings I am starting to compile all of the figures that will probably be released in the next two or three weeks. I would say that by mid January most of these should be easily found at most retailers. Here’s what I’ve discovered so far. There may be more figures in Wave 3 not yet discovered so if you have any more information, or have seen something else new just leave us a comment.

Trap Team – The Golden Desert (Chapter 16)

by

Trap Team - The Golden Desert (Chapter 16)Today we play Chapter 16 of Skylanders Trap Team: The Golden Desert. We make our way through the level trying to get to the Golden Queen’s Lair. Along the way we capture Bone Chompy, and Grave Clobber. Eventually we end this level with an Arena Battle thanks to the Golden Queen, who we will most likely catch in the next level.

Trap Team Arena Battles – Dreamquake

by

Trap Team Arena Battles DreamquakeToday Lias and I take on the second set of  Trap Team Arena Battles called Dreamquake. These arenas all come from the Monster Marsh level where you fight against the Dreamcatcher in her arena. (Though this is NOT the level you trap the Dreamcatcher.) In these battles the floor will constantly split (due to quakes) leaving areas separated by gaps. In addition, each arena battle we play has it’s own set of rules. We used a couple of mini’s that we only had at level 6 to begin with and found that a couple of the arena battles were pretty tough. After playing two sets of Arena Battles so far in Trap Team, I think they have done a better job of making each arena challenge different and more challenging.

Trap Team – Skyhighlands (Chapter 15)

by

Trap Team - Skyhighlands (Chapter 15)Well we are starting down the final stretch. Today we play Skylanders Trap Team Chapter 15 Skyhighlands. We only have one villain to catch again in this level and it’s Tae Kwon Crow. Unfortunately he’s another “mystery” villain, so we are not really able to trap him. Also, he’s the second villain to spend the entire level with a different name, only to take on the new name right at the very end. I’m not really sure what the point of that was this time. It at least made a little more sense with Threatpack. I tackle the level with Hog Wild Fryno, and Conner uses Lob-Star. Give it a watch and see what you think of Skyhighlands.

Trap Team – Operation Troll Rocket Steal (Chapter 14)

by

Trap Team Chapter 14 Operation Troll Rocket Steal Today we play Chapter 14 of Skylanders Trap Team: Operation Troll Rocket Steal. I start off as Gearshift as Conner starts with Bushwhack. After we upgrade our characters a little, we head off to try to find and capture Grinnade and Threatpack. On this level we find that we have a couple problems with the co-op jumping puzzles. One of the puzzles may have also been made harder by using Trap Masters. Give it a watch and see how we do.
