I just had half my figures corrupted and rang activision guess what. Half the old toys weren't designed to work in trap team. And aren't supported. So any character glitches is because they're not supposed to be in the game. So much for backwards compatibility ey?

Activision Support guy lied to you to get you off the phone because he didn't know how to help you. All of my old figures work fine. You probably have a defective portal.

No. They sent me a new portal. But they said that they're not supposed to work. They helped me fine.

An it's not every old character. But a lot of them.

I think we'd have more people on here screaming for blood already if some of the old figures were purposely designed to not work with the newest installment.

Sigh... people need to stop with these "sensational" attention-seeking topic titles, this is just a forum, you are not a journalist trying to get attention on his latest article.

The lie is what that guy told you. By now I'm sure a lot of people have been using old figures and I barely heard about toy corruption except from you.

Pics or they never got corrupted...

I didn't get any characters until swap force, but all of mine worked. It even recognized the hats they had on. Nice having Knight helm on new trap team characters.

I have loaded in every character released to date, except chase variants. Every one works fine. It may be the actual game instead of the portal. Or have your characters toys been damaged?

Your first mistake is to trust anyone on the other line at support. You do know that part of their call answering process is to ask "Have you asked the forum members of dark spyro?" because they really dont have a clue.

last year, for kicks, I called and they said you should NEVER pre-place the figure on the portal while the game loads, you should ALWAYS wait until it says for you to place the figure on the portal.

But if people stop those kinda topics, we'd be down to only like three new threads a week. And they'd actually be insightful and meaningful topics.

For some reason, my had the kickoff hat, had the springtime hat, and had the santa hat on, but on SSF, I had the hats on their respective figures.

Known issue, described in bug thread and Activision's own support forums.

Well I have every Skylander to date (well all that are different in game) and every single one works just fine in trap team.

All of mine Skylanders and magic items worked perfectly

Yup, they all work fine.

OP must be playing the N64 version of trap team... I read they cut some of the skylanders do to limited memory on the cartridge. LOL

We checked in all our figures over the weekend and ALL of them were fine........Most of them, ones we play, even retained The Great Helm hat carried over from Swap Force! I believe collection number was 186, including variants.

Nahhhh. I enjoy dramatic thread titles. Truth be told, they pretty much are the only ones that catch my eye. Leave him alone.

I bet it plays better than the Gamecube version.

Sent you a new portal in two days? impressive.

I've had a ton of "corrupted" messages from even the new guys but taking it off and putting it back on fixes it...so far. I've also noticed that a few of the older pieces (mostly Giants) don;t like the middle of the new portal. Sometimes they won't even read at all but if I move them closer to the ring they work fine.

Or maybe the SNES version, I heard it had more bugs then swapforce for the wii did! Also it only works with Ghost Roaster and Boomer

I, too, had half my figures corrupted by the game.
I could have stopped after it corrupted the first 15... but man, I just HAD to keep going to see which ones it would corrupt and which ones were good - it corrupted over 150 figures! Gah.

/sarcasm

All 174 figures registered just fine.

You were either lied to and/or you're lying to us.
