I agree, unless they change it before they ship the base game, and ask you to change the toy box starter pack to a free figure instead, I think they should have to honor the free TBSP.My personal opinion is once they ship the base game, they are somewhat obligated to ship the rest. It's just not worth pissing off the customers at that point. Bestbuy is usually good about this.
I have to give you bonus points for creative CAGing on this one. It only works for the Wii U, but it's genius.Hello all,
I am new to Infinity. My wife isn't much of a gamer but enjoys Lego games and Skylanders so we thought we would give it a try. I have 2.0 preordered but I am somewhat interested in picking up 1.0 but I've been waiting to score a deal.
I am in the unique position that I have all consoles. Does anyone know if the following will work to play Infinity 1.0 content?
2.0 PS4 Marvel Starter Pack
Free 1.0 Wii U Download or PC
Cheap 3DS copy of 1.0 (for figures, power discs, and playsets)
I can't seem to find a clearcut answer if the 3ds playset is the same as the console versions. Anyone know offhand?
Thanks! You can do it on the Wii U or you can redeem the codes to use them on PC as well. The PC version seems to be fully featured but maybe a bit neglected though so I'd rather stick to console.I have to give you bonus points for creative CAGing on this one.

I have a feeling they may have been attempting to try something close to release date delivery and they screwed up something in their system in an attempt to do that. I have a shipping confirmation for at least part of my order, so i'm guessing it will arrive by Tuesday. I do hope this is a good sign for future orders to be able to get a release date delivery.My Marvel pre-order from Best Buy just switched back to 9/23 again, so they fixed the 9/19 error.
I have always got release day delivery with preorders from best buy. However, I am in Minnesota (HQ location but most shipments come from out of state) and I am a My Best Buy Elite Plus member so maybe that factors in.I have a feeling they may have been attempting to try something close to release date delivery and they screwed up something in their system in an attempt to do that.

Yep. Same here. Toying with my emotions!WTF! now they changed it again.
There has been a change to the release date of the pre-ordered item listed below. The new release date is 09/19/2014. If that is okay with you, and you accept the change, you don't have to do anything.
GOTG is wave 1. its even in some of the ads.Yeah, got all the above emails, except my Captain America is now shipped (expected so it arrives by 9/23). They change my Starter to pick up tomorrow (I didn't have an option to pick up my free one), then change it back to 9/23 and now the release date is back to tomorrow.
I have a feeling this is all due to TRU breaking street date at some stores. I'd like to get it tomorrow, my kids can't play games on school nights, so if it is on the 23rd they have to wait until weekend, but if it is tomorrow they can play it right away. But a few extra days won't hurt, so I would be pleasantly surprised if it is tomorrow but not disappointed if it is the 23rd. If it is tomorrow, I wonder if the figures will go on the shelves then and they cast aside the whole 23rd thing.
I've also seen varying things on the Wave contents, particularly on the GotG figures and set. Forbes said they were Wave 2, but a few other things said Wave 1, is there an official list anywhere?

So is Falcon and the blue guy from GOTG going to make launch?The way I understand it is this:
Wave 1: September 23 - All Marvel content (playsets, figures, power discs) except villains and individual characters from the starter set
Wave 1.5: October 28 - Hulk
Wave 2: November 4 - All Disney content (playsets, figures, power discs) except villains
Wave 3: Early 2015 - All villains
Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Unless there is a local mom & pop, Walmart is the only place I know to unload game-only copies of DI. You won't get much (3DS version gets $5.93), but better than throwing it in the trash.Hmm, that idea of buying the 3DS version to go with the 2.0 PS4 portal and the WiiU infinity 1.0 download is a really interesting idea. With GCU the 3DS starter right now is only $22.39. Frankly even if you throw the 3DS game in the trash (which most people seem to think is all it's good for) you're still getting 3 figures and the infinity 1.0 playset piece for a little over $20. Not bad really.
Edit-So is anyone else getting emails back and forth about the release date switching between 9/19 and 9/23. I've gotten a few of both at this point with 9/23 being the most recent that I just got a few minutes ago. Jesus Best Buy, get your shit locked down...
i preordered one and still don't have a ship date...I have Prime, and if I don't get this release day I'm going to be pissed.Thinking about getting the premium bundle on Amazon, since that seems like the best deal (correct me if I'm wrong, PLEASE!)
Will I get it the 23rd or will they ship it the 23rd?
I think that's the best bet anywhere. Trust me, I've compared. It's the one I have preordered.

Yeah I have Prime and no ship date yet either but they've never delivered something late for me before, so it'd be quite strange if they did this time. Hopefully we both get a ship date soon and it's the 23rd.i preordered one and still don't have a ship date...I have Prime, and if I don't get this release day I'm going to be pissed.
That's just a placeholder, I expect it will change to the correct November date eventually.One thing I found interesting though is that the PS4 Toybox Starter Pack has a release date listed of 12/31/2014. It's making me wonder if they are just going to force cancel it or make me wait 3 months....
So question then.. if I pick up the Wii U Starter pack on 9/23... will the Best Buy system be smart enough to hold my free Toy Box Starter Pack for PS4 until the Nov. release date?That's just a placeholder, I expect it will change to the correct November date eventually.
Wrong.Actually, it's not. There was no connection between buying the starter pack and the "free" toy box pack. Many people apparently just "bought" the free toy box pack without any starter pack. Bait and switch would be advertising that if you buy a starter pack, you get a toy box pack free. That was never the case.
Bait and switch requires an element of conduct which is dishonest or meant to deceive. If it was a website error, it would be hard to show that they were intentionally putting that on the page to entice people to put in the preorder.Wrong.
The page clearly showed the Toy Box on the list of free items that came along with the game. Sorry, by definition, that would be bait and switch--the promise of a greater item replaced by something inferior (a single character) or, even worse, nothing at all.
I get what you're trying to say, but this would be a case where they would be charging you for a much more expensive item and then, after payment was taken, switching the order that was placed. That's illegal.
And then there's that...Im not sure if bait and switch laws apply to online orders anyways.
That's not relevant to the scenario we are discussing. No one has a problem with them canceling the whole order. What we are talking about is if they were to charge us for the order, then ship part of it but not the PS4 Toy Box set. In any case it's only a hypothetical scenario and hopefully unlikely.http://consumerist.com/2011/12/22/canceling-orders-over-a-pricing-error-is-not-the-same-as-bait-and-switch/
if they cancel its not bait and switch
Ebay really? If you don't want to say just don't say anything.ebay = )
Can't you dispute the charge with your CC company for the overage?Best buy screwed me. I had the free spiderman play set as my free figure. My Original Bill Was $63. Today I had to call to authorize the card and I see i got charged $93..they charged me full price for spiderman.
I emailed best buy to give them a chance to fix it before I do that. I tried calling but after 20 minutes couldn't wait any longer on hold.Can't you dispute the charge with your CC company for the overage?
My starter pack shipped - but my free (hopefully!) Spider-Man playset has not, as of yet.
Couldn't you just reserve the ones you want at GameStop or online?All these reports of stores putting 2.0 stuff out early led me to waste some time and gas today. Thanks internet.
I'm going to be really annoyed if I go out Tuesday morning and can't find the figures I want because they put them out sometime between now and then. This is the one time where I actually appreciate street dates.
Does yours have a ship date? Mine, for some reason, still doesn't.Just ordered the $120 bundle on Amazon with 1 day prime shipping, figure that's the best deal so far. I'll try to hit up Target Tuesday to get the GOTG playset to get the two power disc packs and wait until next week for Target B2G1 free sale for any other figures I want.
