Yeah, but it's still fractioning the game for me because I have to own all the playsets to have all the content. Besides, Toy Box mode would include all of the crossover stuff, right? If I don't have all of the figures I can't access a lot of the different items and at the very least all the different characters.
I just don't like having/paying for "incomplete" games.
That I didn't know, and that's a shame. Guess I may never pick it up then.
My gf and I already have everything preordered. Dropping almost 300 on this. We have no kids.

Would Best Buy price match the sets from target? I have it pre-ordered there and might as well pick up the sets. Ill head to toys r us early to pick up the exclusive stuff and 50% discs.

Nervous about reviews now
This is going to kill my wallet even stuff like the power discs being blind boxes adds to it all, I know how much I've spend on vinylmations in the past and that worries me
2 questions
Is the included power disc the same for all or a random one
Are there objectives in toy box mode like there was in TS3? That toy box mode was amongst the most fun I had this generation

That makes no sense though... It's not an incomplete game. They're adding to it as they go....
50% discs?
Edit: thanx spiderduff, completely missed that
Shancakes, do you know when review embargo us up?

Support-wise, the good thing is that the worlds and everything created in Toy Box mode is cross-platform. So when the DI team curates the best of the best and posts it all, everyone on every platform has access to it.

The Power Disc is random. I don't know about objectives. I hope so.
Yes there is online multiplayer, but note; you can only play with your friends. Wii U being rather limited in terms of players, I am not too sure about that. I so wish there was a lobby system. That being said, I am getting this for Wii U also. With the next-gen in reach, I don't even want 360/PS3 games anymore (Except for GTA5!). And the gamepad is a great addition to the Toy Box.

John Vignocchi has said that there are gameplay features unique to the Wii U gamepad as well. I don't if it's stats, an HUD, map, or what, but they are taking advantage of the Wii U's gamepad and trying to incorporate it well.

Got everything for Wii U preordered! Wife is stoked! But I wish Mickey was going to be available at launch. Nonetheless, I am crazy excited for Wreck It Wralph.
The one thing I'm not excited about is the power discs. We may have to start a trade ring here to complete sets.
I've got 2 packs coming, but I intend to buy 3-4 more at release.

They also have a pc version coming out. I bet it will have better textures and I bet they will have a ps4/one version hit next year.
All the game pieces carry over from system to system. So you'd just have to buy a new starter pack for the new system.
Unless they release a standalone booster pack with disc + one character like for Skylanders.

Mickey is awesome! I got 4 for D23. I sold 3 of them on eBay. He is so awesome he paid for most of my Disney infinity stuff!
I wish my country atleast had some proper deals. I am reading about a Buy One Get 50% Off, and we don't have any of that. It will get really expensive without any offer like that.
I hope they have something special for the end of the year. Would be cool to get a Christmas themed character. Not sure how that would work though.

Why wouldn't it get updates? I'm sure they'll want this to be as big as possible on Nintendo platforms. The fact that the Miiverse Community was opened a month in advance is pretty telling.

They had a bunch of Demos at D23 of the Wii U version. I don't see why not.
true but if they do it around the release of a new toy set it should be simple to charge a bit more + add in the full game with the toy box and price it higher.
Who knows though.
With toys r us buy one get one 50% off there wont be a better time to jump in for awhile.

I showed my wife his figure and she freaked out, haha. An she is itching to go to D23 next year or so. Seems like a cool time!

There's exclusive power discs available for preorder at Toys R Us online.
Edit: someone didnt read the OP carefully. Anyway, they're up for preorder for 4.99 plus shipping which probably kills the deal.

I don't - I'm in Australia and we get review copies quite late here due to having to ship them. That's why I got to spend an hour with the game on Friday. I've heard rumours that it's today though.
I wonder why they're holding off so late? Maybe because a bunch of other reviews have gone up in the last few days / GTA previews will take up today?

Subliminal Planes marketing in the tab there?

If I had to guess, I'd say the TRU-exclusive discs are a timed exclusive and that those discs will be released in waves 2 and 3. Either that, or they are lenticular versions of discs that will be released in waves 2 and 3.

Each character comes with a unique adventure with a length of 6-10 hours. So there is plenty of content to just consume

I have the Wii U version preordered at target, and I plan to pick up the playsets there as well with that sweet 50% off deal.
My free figure will be Randall, as I have zero interest in Davey Jones or Syndrome to get the villain 3 pack.
After watching some of their youtube video tutorials about various things, I cannot WAIT to have a swing at the Toybox.

You can download levels made by others, so there's that.
The more I read about this the more I...want it. I do have a good excuse, I can play it with my 5 year-old niece and 7 year-old nephew. Definitely getting it on WiiU if I end up getting it at all.

Game sounds like crack, just like skylanders was.
I am not interested in building either, but the best creations will be shared cross-platform. So I am sure there will be plenty of fun maps to download.
From racing tracks, to platform based.
Okay, I guess I don't really need much convincing so it sounds pretty cool. Has anyone seen anything concrete on which versions are going to be perform the best? I have 360, PS3 and WiiU. I really didn't like playing Skylanders on Wii U as much as I did on 360 - mostly just for controller stuff.
Wii U not supporting the game pad pro is basically a dealbreaker.

Yeah, I'm in the exact same boat. I feel like there hasn't been much specific information revealed about D:I yet. We really enjoy Skylanders and the replay-ability with completing levels for time and all the other objectives and trying to get three stars on everything. I also agree that Disney's antiquated mindset with preventing you from bringing characters into different playsets is a really big mistake.
I guess I'll just have to wait for reviews. In the long run missing out on whatever little pre-order bonus is probably not a big deal if it saves me buying a game that won't be as much fun as Skylanders.

After I watched the presentation at D23 for Disney Infinity i got extremely hyped. It makes sense why you can't put others in the playsets they are designated too as this is their story to tell in a way. Toy Box mode is all out fun from what I've seen. So much to do and you can work together with friends. Looks like a blast.

You must not live in 'merica.
Yeah, I just watched this trailer:

And now I'm excited for what other people can make. Well, it's the day after my birthday... and we are taking a trip to DisneyWorld this fall, so I really HAVE to get it, right?

So I take it Sorcerer Mickey was exclusive to that show or will he be released in Series 2?
NM We'll see him in 2014.

I got my notice from Best Buy this morning that my Wii U pre-order has shipped and I should get it sometime today. Too bad my son is at his grandmothers until Saturday so I probably won't play it until then at the earliest.
Hearing that there is no Pro Gamepad support on the Wii U is a bit of a bummer as my son prefers that over the gamepad due to the size of it. Hopefully it's something they can patch in considering they should be able to map the 360 controls over, as long as the gamepad specific stuff isn't necessary.

Yeah, he has slightly different colors than the one being released in 2014, but that is a small price to pay, considering the D23 one goes for 75$ on eBay.
Toy Box looks fun but I do wonder if objectives can be set. Pointlessly roaming around will only be fun for so long, I'd imagine.
