"The first hit's free."Yeah you can just do Star Wars stuff, but you'll probably have a bunch more figures if you enjoy it.

I've only opened the Starter Pack and played in the hub for over an hour. I'm having a lot of fun just being engrossed in the Disney World. I haven't played any playsets yet, though.
The starter pack has a little digital code card for a "free digital character." What does the code do? I couldn't find anything on the website where I could download it.

That's how PC and mobile players got new characters if they wanted the figures.

Welp, now that I'm four Star Wars figures away from having the complete line (Light FX doubles), displaying has now entered my mind. How is everyone showcasing/displaying/storing their Disney Infinity figures?
With all of the fire sales happening, I could easily see myself stumbling into the other Disney IPs. :-o

Will any PSN trophies become unobtainable when this goes offline?

There are about four or five that are tied to online multiplayer or user generated content. Unless Disney does something to alleviate that, then, yeah, they'll be unobtainable.

Right, thanks.
I'll see if I can get them then, because I have most of them anyway.

Toys R' Us this week has a Buy 1 Get 3 Free sale on Infinity figures. Buy 1 Get 3 Free! That's Crazy Eddie level of pricing!Be warned: All those low prices can make collecting mighty addicting.

I don't know why I didn't initially respond to your display case. That looks pretty slick! Were those CD closets hanging around your place already and repurposed or did you buy them for that sole purpose?
Now that I've sunk some time into Infinity 3.0, there's no shortage of things to do! The Toy Hub is chock full of fun and I've spent more time there than in the playset. I've only finished one mission in the Clone Wars playset!
I have to admit, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed right now. Should I focus on clearing the playsets first? Leveling up my difference characters? Or just going ADD buck-wild and whatever I find fun at the time?

The third option! That's what I do at least, haha. Whatever grabs my attention.

Hi everyone, just wanted to say thank you for all the information. My son isn't old enough to play this yet, but will be in the near future after the servers shut down. The information in this thread helped me figure out how it works and what to get. Going to take advantage of all the blowout sales and stock up.

Thanks. I'm not entirely happy about how the figures are arranged though, so it might look a lot different in a couple of day's.
And yes, they've been repurposed. Or to be more precice; I sorta stole them from my parents.
I did help finance a new, bigger closet for them as a replacement afterwards, so I don't feel too bad about it.
Everywhere and nowhere.
Most of the figurines and playsets I bought from a nearby toystores in The Netherlands. But not everything's available here, 1.0 stuff has almost completely vanished.
I imported almost anything older then 3.0. I mostly used Amazon. DE, UK or COM.
I don't really care where it comes from, whatever's cheaper.

So I haven't been keeping up with this but Toys R Us blow out sale got me to pick this up. So the game is still playable right? Just no fan made level and any future update.
DJ Lushious

It's very much playable now. The fan-made levels haven't gone away yet; early next year, maybe February or March, is their scheduled demise.
If you're a Platinum chaser, there's about 5 trophies that are fan-made/multiplayer focused. Best to get those now, while you still can. I'd be willing to coordinate with some GAFfers, as well. I was only lucky enough to get one multiplayer game going. I'm sure the population dying to get some MP in is dwindling.
Hey everybody! Finally going in with the TRU sale. I'm getting the basic 3.0 Star Wars set and some figures (Merida, Vision, Rocket Raccoon, and Ronan).
I'm mostly a Marvel fan, and I'm torn between grabbing the 2.0 set with the Avengers playset or the Marvel Battlegrounds set. Which do you guys recommend? I'll mostly be playing solo, which makes me think Avengers, but I usually enjoy the story modes of fighting games even if they're not super deep.

The 2.0 Marvel content overall is fairly shallow. Battlegrounds is much better in terms of production quality but there's also not a ton there without someone to play with. I wish I had a recommendation for you but it's kind of a draw in my mind.

The Toys R Us deal was too good to pass up. I picked up 8 additional Marvel characters over the weekend. I have 10 Marvel characters to go to complete my collection. 4-player Marvel Battlegrounds is a lot of fun and my family still enjoys playing it.
Moana is a bigger deal.

Oh man, Moana and Maui figures would have been great. Ugh.

Nope, I missed that bit of news. Just brutal, it all looked so great.
I was making a princess collection of Disney Infinity Princesses and Amiibo Princesses. I had Zelda, Peach (both), Lucina, Rosalina, Zero Suit Samus (the Mulan "shouldn't be a princess but fuck it"), Elsa, Anna, Rapunzel, Merida, Jasmine, Mulan. There were gonna make a Belle too.
Not to me. I'm still sad we'll never get more Star Wars or Marvel content.

Do figures no longer appear in the Hall of Heroes? I've picked up a bunch from the insane Best Buy sales over the last couple months and they all appear in the Collection page on the game's main menu, but when I go into the Hall of Heroes rooms, none of the new figures/discs/etc are appearing.

They have to reach a certain level I believe. Don't recall which.
I think so.

Those Gold Editions are really good deals, especially if you just want all the content without the figures. Did they add the missing 3.0 characters and playsets to the PC version for this though?
Yeah, had to explain to my daughter how it disappeared from my computer this morning. Bit frustrating for sure.
It's really messed up that they just completely delisted it, that means there's no good way to uninstall it either.
Personally I just made a help request via my disney account requesting a Steam key. Maybe if enough people do that they'll distribute some to those of us that used web codes.
So I just got a "no you get nothing" response from DI support about my request for a steam key. Apparently you had to make a digital purchase for them to care, the web codes mean nothing to them. Glad I didn't spend any more money on this than I did. I'll consider buying the gold editions in a year or two for 75% off.
I'm really fucking pissed off, because I actually spent quite a decent penny on playsets and figures, and now I can't even fucking play them. (I owned most of the 3.0 playsets, besides the new Star Wars film and Marvel Battlegrounds, a good amount of the 3.0 figures)
It's outrageous.
I mean I thank them for going to the effort of making it playable offline, but screwing over anyone who bought the figure versions of your content? What a dick move.
Support doesn't know what it's on about either. I contacted them complaining and all they said was "You can download it on Steam to play if if you used webcodes". But you can't, because you removed it from my account. The only thing I can do is buy the content again on Steam.
Yeah, on the one hand I'm glad they made an offline version, and that's great, more than I expected. But if I had known I just needed to buy a $5 dlc on Steam to get it, I would have done that, before it was removed. Now I'm stuck either paying full price (not gonna happen) or waiting until it goes on sale. It's pretty obnoxious, but then they always treated PC players like we were second rate any way.
Yeah agreed on all fronts.
I'll probably get it on sale at some point, but fat chance I'm paying at full price just out of principle.

That's pretty crazy. Odds are console owners spend more on this because web codes were found for dirt cheap, meanwhile many people have amassed huge collections of physical figures and I imagine at much greater expense. IMO they should throw everyone a bone and make 'Gold' version upgrades for those who bought the console version and all the figures and playset pieces that came with that. I'm decluttering and thus am selling off my small collection of figures( like half a dozen Star Wars figures and the same amount of Marvel 2.0 characters), but I bought the digital Ps4 version which is of course worthless without the figures and base.
What's worse is part of their reasoning is that people who bought physical figures "still have the means to play." Because there's just the assumption there were no pc/physical purchasers. And sure, I bought all mine as web codes so I can't really complain, but it just shows how little they regarded the idea of a pc market whatsoever. I almost get the impression they made the gold version because Valve told them otherwise they'd have to refund everything purchased through Steam and it was cheaper to crank out the offline version. The support continued to act as if things like leaving the f2p version functional longer and then pulling it when the gold version went up was Valve's decision, even though anyone who knows anything about how Steam works knows that can't possibly be true.
But in the end, I guess I can't complain too much, six months ago it seemed pretty likely it would all just die and be gone forever, so at least there's going to be a version out there I can get and play at some point, and presumably it will go on sale eventually and I'll probably just buy the bundle of all three editions.
You should email Valve about Steam Workshop support. The modding community could make this game one of the GOAT.
The idea that steam or valve has anything to do with the development of the game is insane. That isn't how steam works. It's basically just customer service that either has no idea what it is talking about, or is just trying to get rid of you by telling you lies. Further development will never have anything to do with steam or valve. The game is dead, we're lucky we got the gold editions at all.
Thanks for saying what I was going to post almost exactly, though as someone who didn't qualify for the free gold edition & got my existing version yanked from under me, I'm not quite as happy with the gold release.
This CS likely has no clue about the dev process or support process for the gold version. Workshop support ain't happening.
Yeah I'm in same boat as you, I'm sad I lost everything, and annoyed I didn't get a chance to at least get the gold versions at a large discount (or free), but I am glad at least they exist, and they didn't just let it die completely.
This is true.
Decided to double-down on the console version with all the deep discount sales. My kids didn't ask for much DI specifically for Christmas, but they're getting a bunch regardless
The two SW playsets we didn't have, the Inside Out playset, and a dumb amount of "stuff" - 10 characters + 4 power disk sets. I reckon I've spent ~$55.In news we already knew: There Were Going To Be Rogue One Disney Infinity Figures
Ugh. I would have bought every single one of them. Maybe it's better (for my wallet) this way.

Man we've made out the last few months.
All Star Wars except Rebels.
About 3/4 of the Marvel sets (missing Falcon, Goblin, Nick Fury, black Spidey, and only have Groot and Rocket for the GotG). Probably going to complete them.
All 3.0 play sets except Inside Out (still not sure on that one) and Dory (was going to get but already spent too much).
We still play this game nearly every day.
I really need the Gravity Falls discs but they're stupid priced for background and textures. So I'm using the Sleeping Beauty background for my GF racetrack. Lol
