O.K. then, maybe I am a bit bias. It still doesn't change the fact that Disney Infinity doesn't look like something I'd enjoy. The prices for it are also outrageous, which is another reason I won't be buying it. I enjoy Skylanders because I like to collect the toys, upgrade and level up characters, play battle mode, and...well, I just enjoy beat em' up games. Disney Infinity seems to be based on building your own levels/games/worlds, which doesn't really interest me. And I do admit that Skylanders is repetitive, but I do not find it boring at all.

prices are in line with or less than skylanders *if* you know how to shop I got everything at a minimum of 20% off and most 50% off.

the character selection appeals to me much more than skylanders does.

and yeah, as someone who has some skylander stuff, after comparing the figures, I even give an edge to disney here. really happy with the paint and sculpts. not that skylanders are bad by any means.

now, look, obviously skylanders was there first, they innovated in this gamespace. I get how people would give Disney crap over trying to eat their lunch. But if they do a good job, I'm giving them credit.

skylanders also doesn't have the building mode that this game has. i'm swamped with crap right now or id love to dig in... i'll have to wait till Thursday. don't ever become an adult.

A set I'd love to see but doubt we will is a Gargoyles set. Oh my gosh could you imagine a playset based in the world?

[Brodie]

I picked it up, with the sales/coupons floating around. I also got the Villians pack for like $14 bucks, which is nice considering a single figure is $13.

I don't see myself buying any more figures until the next slew, with the Toy Story and Sorcerer Mickey coming out later. There's enough to keep busy with the Incredibles/Pirates/Monsters/Toybox stuff as is. I might get the Lone Ranger set, if it goes any lower than the sale prices this week.

[Zulithe]

the $20 sale price many stores have lone ranger and cars for aren't bad, i just went with those. I could see them going a tad bit lower, maybe $18 or $17. if you want much lower you'll probably have to wait for some clearance deals

[Eiko]

I have decided i am going to be getting this game i have had a go at it really fun like the idea much better than skylanders for sure.

[Brodie]

I'm having a lot of fun with it. I want the Sorcerer Mickey in a big-bad way. But I'll wait for '14. I do wish there was a level download component similar to Little Big Planet, but I understand the security/safety guards. There's the Disney direct toybox downloads, which have some neat Tron type levels. But there's not much to alter/do.

Right now Toysrus.com has Disney Infinity at buy one get one 50% off- Don't know about in-store, but online it's advertised that way- I think through 8/24... So hurry!

If Gadget Hackwrench were in this game, I would find the game irresistible.

Nooooooo. You don't say.

I found out coming up stuff:
Toy Story coming October? maybe, Buzz and Jessie sold with Play Set, Woody sold alone.
Wreck-It Ralph and Vanellope coming holiday.
Sorcerer Mikey wait. Mickey was given to 5000 people at the D23 Disney convention, coming as regular fig 2014.
10 hand-painted figures of Phineas and Perry were given away at SDCC. Really hope they come to the public too. A play set would be sweet.
And due to technical limitations, only the Play Sets on the disk are going to be made. But, we still haven't got all the names yet.

I was initially kinda excited that a Toy Story play set was coming out...but was exremely dissapointed to learn that they turned into a "space" gimmick. Why not just have the characters

Spoiler:

completing missions in Bonnie's room, with various segments of "fantasy play" (in Bonnie's imagination)? Instead, they just made the whole play set a play sequence.

Also, the fact that there isn't a WIR play set is really lame..

[Peanut]

Wreck-It-Ralph is lame.

Also, lol at "technical limitations" meaning they can only put out play sets that are on the disc. Noooooo sh*t. You've already paid for everything they put in the game, you just need to buy their sh*t toys to open the invisible lock, essentially paying for what you already own.

target has buy 2 get 1 free... if it hasn't started yet it does next week ... but i have all but 2 so it's useless for me.

[Cowabunga Carl]

You could be nice and send me the free figure you don't need

K, that's your opinion...and you don't have to state it EVERY TIME someone mentions the movie.

[Cowabunga Carl]

Wait, you mean every time some says they like something and you don't you don't have to say how bad or stupid you think it is? ... You miss the irony of this I'm sure.

[Julio]

I was going to get this, but I read how awful the PS3 turned out to be. I heard that stores were overstocking to meet demand, but maybe that just bull to me. They aren't selling very well perhaps.

What exactly do I need to play this game?

The first game is free to download on the Wii U since I guess you need the figures anyway to play it. I wanted that Wreck it Ralph figure anyway so if I can play the game with only that figure that would make it even more worthwhile of a purchase...But I'm not sure if only one figure could unlock anything in the game.

Or what figures are compatible with the first game? I'd buy Aladdin, Jazmin, Lion King, Donald Duck figures but I think those are for the second game.

To play the game you need the game itself (obviously) an Infinity Base, which can be found in the 1.0 starter pack, the 2.0 Marvel starter pack, or the 2.0 Toy Box starter pack. You need at least one figure to play the game too, and each starter pack includes some.

1.0 characters and power discs can be used in both games, and 2.0 characters and power discs can only be used in 2.0. Aladdin, Jasmine and Donald Duck are 2.0 figures and can't be used in 1.0, and there currently aren't any Lion King characters.

Hope that helped
