I just got my Wave 1 Boxes. I am posting these only for reference. If you are trying to decide which figures to buy and see a (1) by it (like Wallop) I would get that one first.

Wave 1 Box Contents:

Trap Master Boxes (12) - Gusto (3), Jawbreaker (3), Wild Fire (3), Krypt King, (2), Wallop (1)

Single Boxes (12) - Chopper (3), Funny Bone (3), Torch (3), Shroom Boom (2), Gill Grunt (1)

Triple Pack Boxes (6) - Funny Bone/Shroom Boom/Chopper (3), Blades/Torch/Gill Grunt (3)

Level Pack Boxes (6) - Nightmare Express (6)

Mini 2-Packs (12) - Magic (3; Spry and Mini Jini), Earth (3; Bop and Terra Bite), Tech (3; Drobit and Trigger Snappy), Undead (3; Hijinx and Eye Small)

Trap Triple Packs (8) - Undead skull/Fire torch/Air Jug Head (4); Tech Scepter/Magic Hammer/Earch Orb (4)

Trap Singles (24) - Fire (3; 2 Scepters, 1 Torch), Water (4; 2 Hammers and 2 Jug Heads), Magic (4; 2 Skulls and 2 Hammers), Earth (4; 2 Hammers and 2 Orbs), Life (2 torches); Tech (2 Scepters), Air (2 Jug Heads), Undead (3; 2 Skulls, 1 Orb)

So it looks like the Kaos Trap won't be available on Day 1.

Did you see any chase variant figures?

Sure it is, just spring for the Dark Edition

It looks like the Kaos trap is only in the Dark Starter on Day 1.

I have never received a chase variant in a box, so either (1) I am really unlucky, or (2) they reserve those boxes for the major retailers.

Please note that I do not believe that I am revealing any information that is not already out there, other than the numbers of figures in the box. If there was anything that I thought was super-secret information, I would probably not post it because I don't want Activision to get mad at me.

However, I will note that from what I have seen, they were REALLY careful with the packaging and there are no full lists of figures or villans anywhere on the packaging. I didn't see anything anywhere about the speculated new elements, for example. Based on that, I would wager that Activision is trying to surprise everyone with something.

On a side note the trap masters boxes are terrible to open

Also, looking at the traps, I think those are going to be a mess for people to dig though in the store. They are tiny, there are a ton of variants, and they all look similar with no title other than the element (i.e. "Fire") anywhere on the packaging. TRU workers are going to have a terrible time keeping those organized on the pegs when people are digging though them prior to Christmas.

The packaging on Trap Masters is totally different than anything Activision has used before, and it has a bubble on the front AND back. They look awesome, but I have no idea how retailers are going to ship the Trap Masters out, because they don't fit together nice like the figures for the prior games.

The traps don't come with individual skus too which makes it even harder

One final thing I didn't know...The Dark Starter comes with a Trap Collection Tray.

The grease collection tray from the George Foreman grills popped into my head when I read that

That's interesting. According to the official unboxing on the Youtube Skylanders channel, the Dark Edition is supposed to come with a special dark trap tray. Unlike the standard starter, its folded up. Check closely inside your box.

I just wanted to say thanks for posting this info. Double thanks. I have purchased enough action figures in my life to know how hard it is to acquire that lone figure in wave boxes. I wasn't going to buy Wallop before. Now he's an absolute. Thanks.

Yes wallop seems to be rare

Guess I will buy Wallop over Gusto if he seems rare (even though I know he will be packaged in with later waves).

Should I buy a Wallop or a Fist bump(when he comes out) because i'm only buying 2 earth skylanders and i've set my sights on nitro Head Rush

I was going to buy Wallop anyway...
If he isn't there I will check every box there and then buy Gusto if I can't find him.

I stopped at Walmart to get wallop just in case my tru don't have him in the morning if the tru does I will return him

I went to Gamestop and Best Buy today and I only saw 1 Wallop at each. He is quite difficult to find.

Yeah they are!
