So theres 4 Skylander portals we know of now, and I was wondering... Which is your favourite?

Mine are:

1.(Best) Skylanders: Spyro's adventure
2. Skylanders: Swap force
3. Skylanders: Giants
4. (Worst) Skylanders: Trap team

Whats yours?

Favorite overall? Trap Team looks.. interesting. I guess I like it, it's the most diverse out of them all.

The Giants glow-in-the-dark Portal was nice, but the extreme glitches with it were annoying.

If TT's was wireless, it would be the best. But wireless automatically wins, so SSA.

Trap Teams
Swap Force
SSA and SG

im actually really liking the design for trap team's portal. The light up ring the skylanders go inside is pretty cool The characters are "In" the portal and not "On" it, is what makes it so neat for me. The speaker is a nice little touch as well. The swapforce one was pretty slick so i guess i would place that in 2nd. And the original/giants (pretty much the same thing) would be last but i still like that one too lol

the glow in dark had glitches?

I'll say that of the currently released ones my favorite is Swap Force's portal, but I'm really liking the look of the Trap Team portal.

-GITD portal
-Non-GITD SSA/Giants portal
-Swap Force


Trap Team's looks neat, but I'd have to see it in person first. The raised ring and shattered glass bottom look very nice but the prison door add-on is a little tacky.

I actually really like the original wireless portal.

Ok, the battery thing sucked, but the portal itself was cool, it LOOKED like a portal. The way it glowed, the stone effect etc, I like it.

I found Giant portals with wires so much easier and no batteries needed . We kept the little memory stick inside the portal so it was rather tedious to keep opening it to retrieve and plug it when we played .

For most of our SSA gaming we used the nintendo 3DS mini portal connected to the PS3 with a USB cable . It was a bit cramped for 2 players but it worked just fine . If we really needed extra space we just placed a clear round plastic lid that comes with Empty DVD,s on top of the mini portal and put our toys on that .

Yes, it occasionally didn't save data to figures.

I agree. The Trap Team Portal is my favourite, followed by the SA/Giants one, then the SF one and lastly the GITD one.

Even though it's my favourite so far, I dislike how the TT Portal doesn't look very Portal-ish. It's cool and the ring around it looks nice from the pictures, and even though the trapdoor is a bit gaudy, it's a clever way to disguse the speaker. I also think the transparent base looks nice. However, if you showed that to me and I didn't know that it was supposed to be a new Portal then I wouldn't guess that's what it's supposed to be. I also don't understand the point to making the base look like a shattered crystal- it's obviously to go with the trap crystals, but I don't see how that relates to the Portal.

When the GITD one isn't glowing it just looks dull, and even the light effect- while a cool idea- doesn't actually look great since the plastic dulls it a bit. The actual GITD effect isn't that cool either.

I'm just biased towards the SA/Giants Portal over the SA one but the SF one is objectively better(and design-wise I prefer it, I just find the SA/Giants one more fun to use because it's the one from the first game)- they're still close. My favourite thing about the SF Portal is the arcs around it.

I wasn't aware of it, i have one thou it;s on the system i use less often for giants so maybe why i never seen it happen.
