Starter Pack
Starter Packs are the central product of the Skylanders video game series, being comprised of a copy of the respective game based on the box design, a Portal of Power, and a small selection of Skylanders. Portal Owners Packs were also available at a lower price point, which included the game and a more limited selection of Figures and omitted the Portal of Power.
Additional items packed in with Starter Packs included a Character Stat Card for each included Figure, and a Figure Collection Poster depicting all of the Figures planned for release for the game.
Starter Packs
Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure

Skylanders: Giants
Like the Spyro's Adventure Starter Pack, Skylanders: Giants has a Starter Pack for home consoles and the other for the Nintendo 3DS.
Being the second Skylanders game released, this is the first game to receive a Portal Owners Pack, as the Portal of Power included with Spyro's Adventure is functionally identical to the one included with the Skylanders: Giants Starter Pack.

Skylanders: Swap Force
Like its predecessors, the Starter Pack for Skylanders: Swap Force has a console Starter Pack and a Nintendo 3DS Starter Pack.
Despite following Giants, this game did not receive a Portal Owners Pack. Due to each SWAP Force figure being read by the Portal of Power as two separate parts, and the original Portal of Power used by Spyro's Adventure and Giants being able to read up to four pieces at most, a new Portal of Power was required in order to use two SWAP Force figures and any additional figure, such as a Magic Item.

Skylanders: Trap Team
The Starter Pack for Skylanders: Trap Team featured three versions, one for home consoles, the Nintendo 3DS, and a new additional version for mobile tablets, which is identical to the home console version except for including a different Portal design, as well as a controller.
Due to the new Traptanium Portal having additional capabilities, this game did not receive a Portal Owners Pack, with the earlier Portals of Power being incompatible due to lacking these features.
Skylanders: Trap Team is the first game in which the home console versions of the Starter Pack includes two figures rather than the typical two, the third being replaced with two Traps. The 3DS version does not include any Traps, while still cutting back to two figures.

Skylanders: SuperChargers
The Starter Pack for Skylanders: SuperChargers only has a single version, with SuperChargers Racing filling the last generation and handheld versions of the game. The iOS version of the game once again includes a different Portal of Power and a controller.
Skylanders: SuperChargers was the first game since Skylanders: Giants to receive a Portal Owners Pack, though only in digital form.
Similar to Skylanders: Trap Team the home console versions of the Starter Pack includes two Skylander figures rather than the typical two, even though a third figure in the form of a Vehicle is included. Some random PlayStation 4 and Xbox One Starter Packs included a special Golden Hot Streak in place of the regular version.
The Wii U version of the Starter Pack includes two exclusive figures (Vehicle and Skylander).

Skylanders: Imaginators
The Starter Pack for Skylanders: Imaginators featured two versions, with the Nintendo Switch version including everything the others do with the exception of the Portal of Power, as the Nintendo Switch version of the game instead utilizes the NFC reader housed in the right Joy-Con controller to scan the figures into the game, similar to the 3DS versions of earlier games.
Skylanders: Imaginators returns the physical Portal Owners Pack, with the game being compatible with any Portal of Power from earlier games. The Pack includes a single Creation Crystal and no other figures.
