I'm not sure if there's a post on any of this yet, I searched and couldn't find anything...
That being said, I've noticed that some of the older items' effects have changed, the ones from Giants are more like they were in Giants especially, but some have changed a lot.

• The Dragonfire cannon now shoots a laser again like in Giants
  
• Anvil Rain actually seeks out enemies instead of falling randomly (the fallen anvils do still get in your way, but they don't stay)
  
• the old adventure packs do 999 damage again with the shockwave burst (Volcanic Vault does the same thing as Dragon's Peak)
  
• the treasure chest only finds one chest per level again
  
• the battle hammer works much like the hand of fate, it seeks out enemies and hits them in the head (doesn't cause knock-back anymore)
  
• Fiery Forge seeks out enemies to drip molten steel on them
  
• The Sky Diamond drops diamonds when you destroy objects like barrels, crates, etc. It doesn't work on enemies in Trap Team.
  
• Sparx seeks out enemies, and triple shots their faces. Sound of his attack is REALLY LOUD. Also, he still creates butterflies from defeated foes and they heal you, but he has to give them to you. It also does not show the "+__" when you receive health from butterflies, but your health does go up.
  

The one item I haven't been able to figure out in Trap Team is the Sky Diamond though... It doesn't seem to do anything anymore. In Swap Force it made diamonds come out of anything you hit, but I can't seem to figure out if it's doing anything at all in Trap Team... Anyone else figure out its new effect?
I haven't had a chance to test out any of the other old magic items' effects...

What about Volcanic Vault?

^ Acts just like an old expansion item

What about Volcanic Vault?

It was a promotional item that people got with their SSA Starter from Best Buy. It has this "Rain of Fire" spell effect and it used to unlock a PVP Arena.

I can't figure out SkyDiamond either. I'm glad you mentioned it. I was gonna post about it myself.

I'm gonna add Volcanic Vault to the list, thanks!
Yeah, I really can't see any change. I thought maybe it just gave you bonus gold when you picked it up, but even that doesn't seem to be any different.

Depressing...I am a noob and I thought surely there was a list I was missing with abilities for magic items...I guess this means no...

The Sky Diamond drops diamonds when you destroy objects like barrels, crates, etc. It doesn't work on enemies in Trap Team.

OH REALLY?! Thank you very much newkill!
Gonna add that to the list too!

So more or less the Hand of Fate and Piggy Bank are pretty much identical to the old Battle Hammer and Sky Diamond then? Well alright.

The UFO hat chip seems to summon a hat, but I can't find it in the hat list.

Groove Machine have a much shorter spell duration.

It seems the trolls don't seem to have any dancing animations ala the griibbles, or is it just me?

You have to load SF, have a Skylander wear the UFO, then switch to TT. When you get to the hub, there will be a message in the upper right hand corner saying, "New Legacy Hat: UFO Hat".
That should do it.
You have to do that with all of SF hats.
Here's what I did:
Load SF and place a hat from your list onto your Skylanders. Once done with all the SF hats placed on your characters, switch to TT and go to Story Mode. Once you're at the hub, load each of your Skylanders onto the portal. It should load up each hat like the example for the UFO Hat.
Took me 2 days to do it with 223 Skylanders, and I don't even have all of the hats from SF.
