Story
The story and background for the new types of toys is as detailed below:
In Skylanders Trap Team, Kaos continues his ongoing quest to rule over Skylands. He has discovered the location of the legendary Cloudcracker Prison -- a fortress built entirely out of the magical substance Traptanium and home to Skylands' most nefarious baddies. In an attempt to build his own army of foes, Kaos blows up the prison, releasing the most wanted villains and blasting shards of Traptanium to Earth in the form of Traps. Now it's up to Portal Masters to recapture all of the escaped villains using powerful Traptanium Traps and defeat Kaos before it's too late!
Characters
All pre-existing figures work with Trap Team but of course there is a whole slew of new toys to collect. First to note are the 18 new Trap Masters, Trap Masters are a larger Skylander toy that wields a translucent "Traptanium" weapon and has an advantage when fighting the capturable villains. There are also 18 new core Skylanders who will join the fight, new mini versions of old characters as well as several reposed fan-favourites from previous adventures.
Here are pictures of all of the so far revealed brand new Skylanders:

To help differentiate between the old and new sets, the base of the Skylanders for Skylanders Trap Team is coloured red instead of the green/orange/blue currently seen on the Spyro's Adventure, Giants and SWAP Force toys.
Traps
Another new toy added with Trap Team is the Trap. These translucent crystals are made of Traptanium and are essential for capturing the various villains. Each Trap is a specific element and allows you to capture villains that match that element.

Comments
I think the legendary traps should have been used for the variant villains to be honest, then they might serve some sort of purpose.
I've managed to get one of each of the water traps, but the others are taking longer than i thought.
I'll most likely get 2 swords and 2 yawns if that's the case because those are the only ones i'd get doubles of if i got the chance.
@84skylanderdude just because someone chooses to believe something doesn't automatically make it wrong, everyone is entitled to an opinion even if it's one you don't like.
I'll just keep working my way through them, and eventually i'll have enough for each villain, it's a good job i have 2 trap trays
Look at your traps in the actual game. There's clearly 3. Go to collections and look at them. 3. Only 3. For each.
And any Aussies found Wave 3 Minis? NZ have!
All New Cores are probably more fun than all the ones in Wave 1 & 2.
Trail Blazer is amazing
High Five is awesome
Bat Spin is incredible
Cobra Cadabra is epic
Oh and Greeble, there is a 98% chance that new Light and Dark traps won't happen, only the current 3
As 84skylanderdude said, hackers have been in system. No Data for any more traps.
Maybe in the next game?
does 800 damage with the other path.
Big deal a boy the traps.
I only get one of each element anyway.
I might customize Traps for the two elements. Like, maybe a Dark Screamer for Eye Scream and a Light Hand for Eye Five.
Dark Screamer could be called Caliginous Caller, Light Hand could be called Glowing Grip.
I don't know why they made 6 for the others because i don't work for them, it's most likely a way to make money just like the variant characters.
Why have a spot for a crystal that will never be made?
I don't trust hackers so i'm going to see what happens.
