You don't need that pack for battlegrounds you can download it for £4.99 but they do offer it free at times, it was when we got it. It is one of those games that continually asks for in game upgrades all of which cost money which gets very annoying. The console game is much better and you can enter the codes from any figures you get into battlegrounds.

sorry I am confused, not hard as I don't really understand how skylanders works but ds keeps going on about it! He uses the ipad so this would be good for him and alot cheaper than the console versions.

Why do you not need the pack? Is the base not needed for the swapping of the figures? How can you swap figures if you dont have a base or figures?

Thanks

You can just download the game from the app store, currently £4.99 and if you have physical skylanders just enter the codes that come with them and unlock them in game the portal is not needed, but you can also just buy the characters in game no physical ones needed. My boys do have an Xbox and the first 2 games (swap force will be a Christmas present) We got them Battlegrounds, Lost Islands and Cloud Patrol for the Ipad ( all when free )and they enter the codes from each new figure into all the Ipad games. They don't enjoy the Ipad games as much as the Xbox ones.

Thanks we don't have anything from skylanders (yet) I am expecting it to appear on santas list. We have a wii but ds is not very good at using the controls for it so when I saw this I thought the ipad game would be easier for him to play. Thanks for the info will give me something to think about.
