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.

On topic: Can't wait for rocky roll!!!!
OMG did we join on the exact same day?!
We did!!
I've been on darkSpyro for three years!
and 
are out in Australia.We have
? How unusual.Yes NZ is worse.
The only thing completed is wave 2
We have never had a legendary EVER
We don't have anything from Wave 3 except traps (usless)
We only have light and darks at less than 50% of the area of the country (I got one)
We have no nitro
We will probably get LP Pop Fizz in May or something
We WERE going to get the game first but they moved the release date down
We have no Wave 3 Minis except Small Fry by himself, MoM, FF Pop Fizz, Hog Wild Fryno Single Back, Fist Bump, Full Blast Vacuum Bird (Dont Care) and no Tread Head
Ninja'd
MoM is annoying but I just ordered my online, costed more but it's really the only vital thing we're missing so was worth it.
Really I'm glad we missed this wave instead of any others, so I can't be too angry.
Missing blastermind wouldve been worse.
No Tread Head
No Fist Bump
No FF Pop Fizz (LP Pop Fizz doesn't count
)More importantly, no MoM!
Yes, we have Bat Spin
Yes, we have Nitro Head Rush
Yes, we got Legendary Bushwhack.
They are all just characters. We need Mirror of Mystery so we can finish the game.
And we don't have the fire and water minis, but I'm fine waiting for them.
Feels like Activision messed the shipping up
And don't worry NZ Portal Masters, I know you've been worse off. Sorry guys
