Some of the figures you can only get with the playsets so if you want that figure then you have to buy the bundle (e.g., the new Captain America bundle, Force Awakens bundle is the only way to get Rey, etc.). The playsets are pretty cool in their own right and you/the kids will probably want them eventually. The playsets offer a campaign based on that particular set. Note though that the figures you can use in each playset are limited. For example, you can't use a Marvel character in a Star Wars playset or vice versa. One of the big knocks against the game in my opinion as we should have been free to use any character in any playset. But, you can use any figure in any of the downloadable Toy Box maps (or if you make your own). This is one of the concerns once the servers shut down, will these still be playable or downloadable. Grab 'em now to be sure.

What I'm curious about is the availability of the last run of figures (Black Panther, Ant Man, Alice, Nemo, etc.). They probably did not make as many of these as they knew they were shutting down. Black Panther and Ant Man are sold out online at BB and not available at any stores near me. I can still get on Amazon. Wondering if I should grab all of the figures now while I still can.

If you want to play something resembling a traditional game, you need the playsets. Otherwise all there is is the toybox, which is build your own game, or download games that other people have made.

Toys R US is now having a more than half off select toy box play sets sale. I'm going sometime this week to pick some up and put them up for Christmas.

Most are $14.99 at Best Buy right now. Even cheaper with Gamers Club Unlocked.

Yeah I may buy an extra set or two as well to go along with all the other stuff I bought yesterday.

I'm starting to think picking this up was a bad idea

Even with the sale prices, this is going to start adding up. I'm not sure how some of you managed to grab most/all of these things for the past 3 years.

Yes, you are on a dark path my young padawan.

Probably no different than Skylanders or Dimensions.

damn, i didn't realize the main play set was all star wars. i bought some of the marvel characters on that BB sale yesterday. both play sets i got today were star wars. for my kid to play the marvel ones not in a toybox, i'll have to shell out for the battlegrounds set. damn game.

The Capt America set is $20 this week at Best Buy, $16 with GCU. Some other figures on sale as well. We need the newest Marvel and TFA to complete our set.

Target has almost everything marked 50% off in store, and there a 30% off cartwheel that stacks with it.

I guess the SW playsets was a one day deal at BB. Glad I swung by yesterday. Still looking for Antman, guess I'll try Target.

Thanks for the Target tip! Everything is indeed 1/2 off at my local Targets and the 30% off Cartwheel was a nice bonus!

Figures came to $4.98 each including the new Nemo and Alice figures
Starter box was $22 for XBox One

I'm going out tomorrow again to finish off the collection and then throw my wallet away.

With the exception of 2 FX figures(Amazon and GameStop ex.), I ordered the 10 remaining figures I needed for 3.0. The only things left that I plan on picking up are the Dory playset and the Zootopia discs. Best Buy shipped the 10 figures in a box big enough to hold the whole 3.0 series in.

Sounds like they've been taking shipping advice from TRU. I've received single figures from them in boxes large enough to hold 20 or more with *lots* of brown paper filler.

I got my bb order and the box was huge too.

I picked up Black Panther and Antman last night at Target. Right under $5 each with the cartwheel.

I don't really have an interest in Vision and Ultron, I'm not really missing out on anything if I don't pick those up, correct? Like they don't have a big impact in the game or anything?

Correct. It's all personal preference on which figures you want to get. Or put another way, which ever figures your kids want the most and won't stop bugging you about until you can't take it anymore and have to go out and get them. Here's a hint.... they will want ALL of them.

The only thing that you will miss by not having those characters is the ultimate unlock. In every version of Disney Infinity, there is an ultimate unlock for collecting all the characters. I believe that each of the unlocks carries forward into the next game if you collect all the older characters in the new game as well.

In Disney Infinity 1.0, the ultimate unlock was a green lightsaber which could be wielded by any character in toy box. You must collect all the 1.0 characters (not including crystal versions) to unlock it.

In 2.0, the ultimate unlock was Luke's Landspeeder. You must collect all the 2.0 character (not including Crystal Mickey) to unlock it.

In 3.0, the ultimate unlock is the Kingdom Hearts Keyblade. You must collect all the 3.0 character thru Marvel Battlegrounds to unlock it (Black Suit Spider-Man, and characters which come after--which would be Baloo, and any of the characters from Alice in Wonderland or Finding Dory--are not included).

All the unlocks are toybox items. To unlock them, each character must be leveled up to at least level 1, and have their statue unlocked in the Hall of Heroes.

Yeah, that's how we got suckered into the Zootopia figures. I don't really care much for the Star Wars ones either, but I picked up some of the ones that light up because I thought that would be neat. We also grabbed the play set from the new movie since they wanted that. The Marvel ones on the other hand, were all me

OK, I think I'm done then. I'm about $90 all in at the moment and that's a good place to stop.

What are you guys using to store all the figures?

For size:


I have 2 36" Floating shelves that hold all the Disney Infinity figures from 1,2 and most of 3 so far. It is also home to 20 or so of the Lego Dimensions characters also

I went to Target and Toys R US yesterday and both places really didn't have a lot to offer. I guess that's what I get for waiting so late to go.

I'm using sterilite stackable 4 gallon containers from Walmart.

Cool, I'll check out something like that.

Also, I noticed today that the light FX figures have a flicker when their lightsabers are lit. Is this normal, or is it a defect?

It's normal. It actually flickers worse on the displays at the store than it flickers on the portal at home.
