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.

I also managed to pick up Nitro Head Rush and Gearshift, Nothing else around at the moment.
Will we ever get wave 2 cores and adventure pack, Wave 3 triple packs ????? It's not looking like it ....... The Grinch has struck again
For Christmas I got the Wave 2 Trap Masters, Legendary Déjà Vu, the first four elites and Winterfest Lob-Star, as well as the regular Snap Shot, Food Fight and Molten Hot Dog
We still don't have wave 2 cores, and the Light and Dark were supposed to be released on Boxing Day at EB Games AU, but no. They stuffed the shipping up so now I have to wait ANOTHER week. Then the Wave 3 triple packs NEVER turned up for me, but I got Gearshift and Nitro Head Rush. Alright I guess.
: Ugh...
