Every copy of Lego Dimensions comes with a USB Gateway Portal for scanning characters, vehicles, and level packs into the game.
Can these gateway portals be used across different consoles?
For example, if I own the Wii U version of Lego Dimensions, will I need to buy another portal specifically for the PS3 version? Or can I reuse my old one?
Just to show that writing down your problem makes you think about things a bit more, and even more importantly, moving from game to laptop makes you look at the portal pad as you look between screens.
The answer was literally staring me in the face. The portal on the table in front of had changed from its normal setting of all white pads, and now had three colours on it, moving the Benny minifig from the green pad to a blue or red pad made new walkable squares appear near him ingame in the formerly transparent blue or red outlined areas.
When building new Lego Dimension toys, it's important to use the correct base. Bart's base has a picture of his slingshot on it, and Krusty's has his bow tie.
If Bart and Krusty are both showing up as blank toys, chances are you mixed their bases up with the bases for their vehicles. If you put them on the correct bases, they should be recognized by the game. Then you can build the vehicles and register them to their bases.
If you don't have Bart or Krusty's base, you may have ended up with a defective fun pack, and you should talk to whoever you bought it from.

According to a Game Skinny article from 2015, only the Xbox portals are console-specific:
In other words, there are three base stations:
Julio’s answer supports this by mentioning that Disney Infinity bases have the same restrictions on Xbox.
