Hey all, quick question.

How do you add characters to Lost Islands without using the portal or buying them with gems? I've only ever used the portal, so I'm a little concerned as to how I will be able to get my Swap Force characters into the game after Sunday's launch. Is there a way you can use the codes? If so, how? I tried to look on my game today and came up empty handed. :(

I don't think swap force characters are already available/unlocked in Lost Islands just yet.

I'm hoping it will be, soon..

I was thinking maybe the bottom part of the swappers could get the full character in the game by using the old Portal? That is just a thought.

The way you've written the question seems to indicate that you haven't seen the barcodes, so I'll assume you haven't. Bring up the panel of available skylanders, choose the skylander you want to 'buy', and in the bottom right corner next to the number of gems required, is a barcode looking thing with the numbers 1-2-3-4 above it. That white rectangle is actually a button. Press it, and you'll be presented with a new screen and panel to enter in your Web Card Code to 'portal' your figurine into the game.

If it's a character you've previously paid gems for, the code will even give you back the gems you'd spent earlier.

Initially, more than one player could enter the same code, allowing a family to 'share' a figurine. Later, that option was disabled so it could only be used by one player. Recent rumor has it that the initial setting allowing multiple players to use the same code has been re-instated as a stop-gap for Swap Force which doesn't support the portal. I haven't seen this rumor confirmed yet, not have I tried it myself.

Durr. It has been so long since I've bought a skylander on the game with Gems that I totally forgot about that little button. Thank you Woz!

Knew about the gems being refunded thanks to my little sister buying Tree Rex (of all skylanders! Gosh, lil'sis, get with the program..). Again, thank you for clearing all this up for me.
