Ugh.

I just attempted to load all 300+ of my figures into Trap Team. Previously, you could pull a figure off as soon as he/she/it said his/her/its catchphrase and it would be loaded in.

Apparently, I should have stopped early on to check the progress - virtually none of my figures loaded in. Bleh.

I wish they'd have an "Import Collection" option that would read the save file from a previous game and load all the characters from it. Oh well, guess I get to do it all again...

Ah, Sorry about that lol. I always hate loading all my skylanders too...

Or possibly a "Force Ownership" option (should be off by default every time you boot up the game), so you don't have to worry about claiming ownership in the character menu.

Oh god. I hadn't got as far as trying to do this yet. I am just playing my favourites at the moment...

Thanks for the heads up on not fast-switching them.

I scanned in my complete collection of a couple hundred figures, and I didn't have any problems. I only left them on the portal for about a second after their battle cry before pulling them off, and they've all showed up in game.

I took mine off as soon as it said the catchphrase (sometimes, cutting the last word or two off).

I've been going through (think I just have SWAPpers and a few others to go through) and reloading everyone in, waiting until they show up in the hub before putting the next figure on the portal.

don't forget hats, the ones in TT are all new, and you can't purchase the old ones, they need to be transferred on a skylander into this game.

i didn't realise that the 100ish hats i was missing from TT were obtained this way, so now i have to attach them in SF and load them into TT.

Yeah, I ain't doin' that. ;)

Do the hats count towards completion?

nah, there are no extra stars or anything.

depends on your definition of "completion" though, i don't like all the blacked out in the menu, but i won't be doing all of them at once, probably do a couple each time i sit down to play, load SF first, chuck on a few hats, then load them to TT before i start playing.

*must remember to keep a list *

I would be very surprised if it did, since they provide no way to obtain these in game.

By the way, I think this is how they are slowly sun setting previous game artifacts. I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't bring all of those hats in #5.

Frankly, hats is my least favorite part of the game, and it's the one they've kept true to form. Sigh.

Yeah, I don't much care about the hats. The characters look stupid in them (even more so on something like Wash Buckler, who is already wearing a hat) and it's not like they really need the stat boost as easy as upgrading everyone is.

Finally got everything loaded into the new game. After cross-checking my spreadsheet and everything, I'm at 225 "unique" figures and 29 "unique" items by Trap Team's count. Some of you mega collectors that get all the variants should be able to beat that though. :D

Oddly, it recognizes the old Sidekicks as different from the new Minis, but doesn't put them on the collection screen differently.

They should have done it via save file import. Only good if you are playing on the same system though.

They could use the system user accounts and have a server to hold your collection and re-download to the new game.

It's a lot for them to worry about for a very few obsessive collectors though so it aint gonna happen.

here's a hint.... before you remove it, look for the save icon.
