The alter ego 'Frosted Food Fight' is free for a limited time too.
I bought Chopper and Blades with gems that I had saved up. I'm buying their figures eventually so I'll get my gems back.

I knew there was a reason I woke up two hours before my alarm this morning.

There are 17 new Skylanders - Trap Masters, Sidekicks, and regulars
Trappable villains - I haven't seen one yet, but there's a new island with the villains/effects listed.
Undead sanctum quest
Environment goes dark again
Mabu are wearing skeleton costumes
Dragon lairs on sale - they added 5 new dragons, but lair max is still at 8.

Dark codes work for ordinary characters.

I don't know if the dark ones are being added later.

Late but still with enogh time. Just hope the 6 Undeads I have now can compensate the fact the game won't update with this slow internet at where I'm at until lunch.

Oh, thx for the information. LI did not tell me anything about the update so i check play store manually.

OK. I thought the will increase the max kingdom level again maybe up to 50.

But lets see what the new update gives us.

#8 Posted: 12:06:08 16/10/2014
No Darks, Nitro or Legendary in there yet (all just summon the regular versions). Quite a lot of the characters still have placeholder pictures/descriptions too.

Also no Deja Vu listed, not sure if she's available with a code though and just invisible for the moment.

Looks like Trap Masters are used to clear Traptanium Crystals, then that Traptanium can be used to make Traps that can then be used to trap Villains for a limited time (from 30 min to 2 days) which gives you a special kingdom bonus during that time.

Quite a cool idea, look forward to seeing how it plays out.

So buy the traps (real world toys) will help or do you need both new trap masters and traps.

Real world traps have no code, so no way to add them to LI. The LI traps are built in game.

I wonder when the update came down. I checked before I left, this morning, (which was a bit before 4 AM) and there was nothing. It must have came down later in the morning. I'll have to wait until I get home to get the update, unless I can find a wi-fi hotspot somewhere on my lunch break.

So the villains we start off hunting are one of each element. Don't read on if you want to be surprised by the villains' arrival or know what they do if you catch them!

Grinnade - Fire - Remove trees, rocks, weeks and other Clutter instantly (30 mins)
Chill Bill - Water - Freeze the locks on chests to clear them instantly! (12 hrs)
Chomp Chest - Earth - Chests come alive! Tap a chest multiple times after it opens for an extra reward (1 day)
Sheep Creep - Life - A Giant Sheep escapes from all defeated Sheep Mobs. Tap it multiple times for a big reward! (12 hrs)
Buzzer Beak - Air - Invaders appear more often! (1 day)
Dr Krankcase - Tech - Reduces the cost to power Elemental Sanctuaries by half! (2 days)
Pain Yatta - Magic - Get a chest from all mobs! (6 hrs)
Wolfgang - Undead - Reduce the cost of Skylander Spins by half! (1 day)


Clearing Traptanium crystals with a Trap Master Skylander will give you a single trap of that Trap Master's element, which can then be used to trap the appropriate villain. So make sure you're scoring yourself the traps for the villains whose abilities you most want! I think Magic looks very attractive personally...

Got the update and spun for everyone. Fun to have so many new Skylanders all at once! Going away this weekend to a location with no internet (or power, for that matter), so looks like I won't be able to complete the quest, but I have enough gems that I'm not too concerned about that.
ABennett Blue Sparx Gems: 865
#16 Posted: 12:47:18 16/10/2014
There are at least 5 Skylanders added to the game in the background but not showing up for purchase or spin yet. You can toy link and summon:

Head Rush
Bushwhack
Lob-Star
Fist Bump
Tread Head

Though they all have placeholder images and descriptions in the Skylanders screen. They're fully animated and wander happily around the kingdom though. Lob-Star is especially awesome as he scuttles sideways rather than forwards. smilie

What does traptanium look like? I've yet to see any. Anybody else already get some? Does it appear over land or air? Also, I keep seeing this tiny green and yellow disk in the air that disappears after I click on it a few times. Any clue what that is and what I'm supposed to do with it?

#19 Posted: 14:13:05 16/10/2014

Thanks for the heads up on the free food fight alter ego!!

Saw the same thing .. Looks like a small green and yellow UFO.

When I load up the game it keeps asking me to turn on Bluetooth to use accessories. What is that all about?

I'm excited to play this tonight when I get home from work. The game hadn't updated for me this morning but hopefully it will be ready this evening. I should have enough gold to spin for all of the skylanders. Very cool!

Haven't seen any Traptanium yet, but I imagine it looks like the blueish crystal they show in the symbol for the quest. I think it is used to build traps for LI. The traps are somehow used to trap villains, which seem to be basically the same as companions for the purposes of this game. This is mostly conjecture, though, as I haven't done any of this yet.

This is great for those of us that were maxed out and looking for something to do. Now I have the undead quests and 17 new skylanders to level up to keep me busy and entertained. Definitely worth the wait.
Coachjohn2049 Yellow Sparx Gems: 1376
#24 Posted: 15:36:06 16/10/2014
Midas I believe it was you who mentioned new skylanders messing up your finger memory. If you think one new one a month was different, wait until you try it with 17 new ones tonight. I actually had to use my brain to fill sanctuaries and houses this morning.

I found some traptanium. It looks exactly how we think it would: blue, spiky crystals. It was in the open on one of my main islands.

It takes a trapmaster 6 minutes to harvest, and cost 250 energy. When I cleared the traptanium I received 1 tech trap. I used a tech trapmaster.

I find it a little odd that they don't have the Alt's for the trap team skylanders(nitro krypt king, the Darks, and legendary ones), and i hope that they reimburse with the proper version later if you input the codes again for the correct skylander.

What has happened before is that you will get the alternate for free when it is coded into the game - sort of a 2 for 1 deal.

Traptanium will disappear just like chompies and totems so you may want to leave a trap master available.

They usually hold off on the variants to spread out through other updates to have something to add every once in a while. I'm not sure how it worked with Swap Force, as by the time I got any Swap Force Skylanders, they had already put them in the game and were pretty good at keeping up with them after the first wave. When Giants came out, though, you could put the code in for the regular version and again for the variant, when it was released. So if you only have the variant, then it works in your favor, as you get the regular for free in LI.

FYI, you can use the old bluetooth portal to import TT characters. I just finished doing so on my family's devices. So far so good on the iPads, but the Tab3 is randomly crashing now. Sent in a error report via google play.

Updated and working; guess that the game really knows which save you have with an account or not - THOUGH it somehow forgot all my progress last night, meaning I'm back to 110k energy and all sanctuaries unactivated - and too late to charge even the Undead one since it's only finishing at 1 in the morning. Well, at least the freed up Undead skylanders means I can start off right away with 5 adventures at a time,plus Grim Creeper in the back in case I end up entering the game too soon and get totems.

Love the new update! One of the villans turned up but I didn't have a trap but if you want them they
Let you use gems instead. Turned out a good move as it was 125 gems but got me the one that reduced spin cost by 50% so got to spin for the new ones half gold price. Awesome update and well worth the wait

Cool! What do the villains look like? Do they just wander the island and you have to recognize them as one of the villains? Or do they stay stationary with an action bubble over them?

We are missing FFF hut on both games as well. Otherwise its nice to have the magic sanctum back and all the Trap Team stuff and undead quest. I hope we get FFF's Hut back soon. Anyone else or is this issue even more isolated?

That concludes the general misconception of which species do Funny Bone belong to. Most fans might have mistaken that he was a canine (notably dog), as though he actually is a skeletal dragon. There are several reasons for this.

Funny Bone's name; his catchphrase "I Have a Bone to Pick"; and his backstory, are seemingly similar to what canines do, especially for Hot Dog, who buries anything with his paws. By appearance, he is a skeletal dragon by what dragons inherit. As compared to most dragons, the length of his tail; the appearance of his nose; and his horns prove that he is different among most appearances of canines in their skeletal form - some fans compare with those as long as in their living form. Dragons here can have horns; a long tail; and wings, with or without. They do not inherit ears, while canines have at least one. Funny Bone's feet are almost similar to what canines do.

That's smart--I bought trap masters with gems and then spun (what little I had) once I got the villain that gives 50% spins. No matter when the boys get them--I see us getting trap masters before just regular TT skylanders
